Greatest slow dance song ever?

I'll start:

Unchained Melody, the Righteous Bros. version

you read my mind

Hands-down the best of the best.

song to me at our reaffiramation. 21 years and going strong...

It's hard not to melt. You can hear the emotion in every note of the song.

I love that song.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

You ARE aging yourself!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

It was our Senior prom's theme.

Aren't you like 14 and a half or something?

So, almost.

Whatcha wanna make of it?????? Hunh???

:P :P

:hi:

:P

Well, you CAN go farther, but I don't much like to.

by The Association

I like The Way You Look Tonight, Tony Bennett of course. But probably When a Man Loves a Woman would be my first choice.

Every time it comes up on the iPod, it's breathtaking--literally.

"The Way You Look Tonight"

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling
Just the way you look tonight.

That song really moves me and I absolutely love it when we slow dance to it.

it stands up to anything in it's style and genre...and then more.

Written in 1936....The Words by Dorothy Fields , music by Jerome Kern .

The song has an almost magical effect on me. It fits that its from the 1930's because so much of the progressive music from that era is still being enjoyed.

Sinatra's version was the first I ever heard (at least that I remember). Did you know that it was also used on "Star Trek: Deep Space 9" frequently. They had a recurring holographic character who portrayed a 1950's Vegas lounge singer, Vic Fontaine (James Darren) and it was among his staples. Lots of other fabulous songs from the era on this cd if you're interested. His voice fits the music like a glove.

It's absolute perfection.

has ever responded. I'm really glad to have found at least two people who recognize this for the "perfection" it is. It strikes very deep to my heart.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

It's a gorgeous song.

I can't even sing it because my throat tightens up around the third verse so I just hum. It reminds me that all happiness is fleeting and to enjoy life and each moment to the fullest.

My love has come along....

:)

I don't slow dance

Not that it's actually a GOOD slow dance song, but because it was always really funny to watch slow-dancers in high school find themselves without a clue as to what to do when the rockin' part kicked in. Comedy gold.

I like it.

:rofl::rofl:

:D

(That was actually the theme of my BBG formal one year. :puke:)

I don't know the real name of the classical song...

"Toki ni ai wa..." from the Utena movie.

More like pop... but I guess it could be considered a slow song.

of just rocking back and forth. But that's boring.

And sense it seems you've seen the movie as well, I must ask: did it make sense to you?

They both tried to cram the full story into about 2 hrs.

I think, with the movie at least, the story was not as important as the symbolism behind it. The series had similar "mind fuck" qualities toward the end and was also full of symbolism, but it tried to maintain a pretense of reality. Then the movie was just out there.

And maybe if this conversation's to continue, it should go to PM before we hijack the thread.

OK, not really a slow dance, but I have fantasies about dancing with Patrick Swayze to this song (damn Jennifer Gray) :rofl:

Cowboy Junkies version especially

but I agree with "Way You Look Tonight" by Ella Fitzgerald.

Both are literally breathtaking.

Hey Jude. the Beatles.

Olsen Olsen by Sigur Ros. The lyrics are hopelandic. I've played it a few times as a DJ and it got received quite well. If I was to ever get married it would be my first slow dance song.

This song is actually before my time, but it's a great slow dance song.

My Humps.

that or Baby Got Back :evilgrin:

But on a serious note...At Last is the MOST romantic song ever!

At Last, that is.

by the 5 Satins.

Love that one, I do.

nt

Very partial to that one as it was THE slow dance song in my teen years.

Roy Orbison. No doubt in my mind

Colour My World - Chicago
Always and Forever - Heatwave
Superstar - Luther Vandross version
Still - Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores
That's the Way of World - EW&F

Can't find one that could be deemed greatest.

was to "Your Song" by Elton John. We found it while looking at a list, and I fell in love with it then.

the long version from the live album, of course. :)

Eric Clapton

Edit: Damn UCLA02 beat me to it!

Slow Dancing, Making Out, Sex - it's just the best for all of this!
