NMA @ Their Most Romantic?
« on: September 12, 2016, 06:29:51 PM »
I'm trying to convert my girlfriend into a NMA fan, with v little success. I've manged to convert her with surprising success to many of my other favourites. Then 1 day I happened to play Family Life & she told me (in an almost aggrieved tone) that it was the most romantic NMA song I'd ever played her & I realised that the worth of music, to her, is measured by how  'romantic' it is. So now I'm trying to compile her a CD based on this criteria. The trouble is NMA doesn't really write traditional love songs. After a strong start with Queen of My Heart, Knife, Love Songs & 11 Years I'm left  :-\. Any ideas?

No Greater Love was always a fave of mine
Logged
Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again
With your lover turning away
Disappointment closing in
Like the walls... and you try...
You try to talk about love
And they put their arms around you
But you still feel all alone
Wonder why...

She doesn't like NMA?  Dump her!  Immediately!

You know I'm kidding.   ;) 

Queen Of My Heart is my 'most romantic' NMA tune, but I guess this fantastic band don't really do conventionally romantic songs.  Certainly, they do songs about love, in it's various forms (Drummy B springs to mind) but the whole girl / boy thing... I'm struggling.

Perhaps it's just one of those things you'll have to agree to disagree on...  ???

Hmm...Billie could be a girl's name...added! & 1 from the latest album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96-IFoyc-Og. No Greater Love is indeed epic, but I fear its intensity would have her reaching for eject

if "Queen of My Heart" doesn't have any effect on her, I'd give up. Beyond that, JS's solo album, thats quite romantic, basically love and appreciation for the Sea.

Some fine suggestions, the CD will be filled yet! Orange Tree Roads & Southwest are perfect; & Summer Moors (romantic in the Byronic/Brontean sense) would probably be my pick as the definitive answer, though she'll likely find it a bit :'(

Lean Back and Fall

So your girlfriend thinks that "If I could have my way, I would line them up against a wall" is romantic?!?!?

Run fast. And run far!!! :-)
