Just rounding out my LAST songs on the list, phew.

Is this song NOT the story of everyone's life? Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is

Gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

This mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

Wow, some deep lines there! Show him some loving, girl! Is it just me or is ALL of Foreigner's lyrics about, sex?

No doubt, John Lennon has a lot of great songs. Love, on the other hand, is an excellent love song of his.

Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
We can be

Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needing to be loved

Does this not shout, love is everywhere? Love is all around? Love is you, love is me, everything we do should be love. I love it! Down to earth, heartfelt, and very encompassing of a lot of situations.

I love Motown, The Four Tops, The Supremes, etc. But! Marvin Gaye - Ain't No Mountain High Enough duet with Tammi Terrell (despite her tragic death) in a way epitomizes the lengths people go to for someone they feel so deeply for. Lovely!

Listen baby...
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby..

If you need me call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Don't worry baby

Just all my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby there's

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from gettin' to you, baby

Remember the day I set you free?
I told you you could always count on me, darlin'
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me someway somehow

'Cause baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from gettin' to you, babe

No darlin', no wind, no rain
Oh, winter's cold can't stop me baby

If you are ever in trouble, I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, baby
My love is alive way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand, I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from gettin to you

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough

Next, The Cure. Friday I'm In Love. The Cure has so many lovely love songs (Lovesong, anyone?

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday
I'm in love

Such an amazing song! So uplifting! So true!

Lastly, my final song, The Who - Love Reign O'er Me.

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields.

Love, reign o'er me.
Love, reign o'er me, reign o'er me, reign o'er me.

Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

Love, reign o'er me, reign o'er me, reign o'er me.
Love, reign o'er me, reign o'er me, reign o'er me.

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The nights is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

Wooo, does this song make you a little hot? It's hot! "Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields" to "Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain", doesn't it make you want to get it on haha. Like Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You. Except happier lyrics. I just like the constant rain metaphor and using that as the basis of the song. Clever!
