Share your favourite songs in the world. Whether it be by posting a YouTube video of that song or just simply listing the titles of songs you really like. It's a great way of getting to know people, by knowing what music they like. It's also a great way of sharing great music with everyone. (Oh yes, and don't worry about posting Michael songs, we all know and love Michael songs).

Here are some of my favorites:

I have many many favourite songs..
But because I'm tired and I think people will appreciate the song better I only post one at a time..

Here is one of my favourites..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9KA...102588B13&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=9

Composed/written by Vangelis - the song is called Love Theme and is from the movie BladeRunner. It is just stunning. Magical. Takes me to a beautiful place in my mind, which I want to be a reality :(

:wub: You can feel so much emotion in this piece. For those romantics here this describes every emotion you can put into words about feeling in love..

Tell me what you think :huggy:
 
^^ Wow, that's like floating on air!

Hey Bob George, interesting to see that you listed Ana's Song :) Before Diorama, I think that's Daniel John's most personal song, I've always liked it too!

I have WAY to many songs to list here, but just stumpled across an old favourite from one of my favourite Perth bands. Just a sweet song, and I've always loved Katy Steele's simplistic pop song writing. She knows how to write a perfect pop melody.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMcFmWZyV1U

I love the clip too - i can only imagine cleaning up the mess at the end of that :lol:

Also recommend 'Relapse', from the same band.


Oh, speaking of beautiful songs...Ruby's Arms by Tom Waits :wub:
 
Oh, might I add how much I love Poison by Alice Cooper :p
