Romantic Song

[mike4287]

Hey everyone. Im looking to make a short video for this girl to show her how much I care for her/love her. Problem is I want a real romantic song to play in the back but me being 19 I hear all the romantic songs on the radio and whatnot but I have no clue who the people are nor the name of the song. Can anyone suggest a song or two so I can put in the background. Its going to be all like a picture show so the music will be the whole time. If anyone can suggest any ideas to put into the movie too that will be helpful too! Thanks :wiggle:

"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton
"The Luckiest" by Ben Folds (although its a bit wierd)
"Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns and Roses (only if you have some good vocal chords though)
"Wish you were here" by Incubus


I dunno... there's a million possibilities. Can't go wrong with "Wonderful Tonight" though... easy song, and Eric Clapton doesn't exactly have the best voice either so it is hard to kill it.

Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes"

hopefully she doesn't freak out when she sees this video...

[mike4287]

just to be clear though im not singing i was going to download the song and put it in the background. im definitely not singing cuz i suck at it

[Cheeba Monkey]

Here is the song my gf and I first made love to. Its a fabulous song:

"Nights in White Satin" - Moody Blues

[lazzle]

"Everlong" by Foo Fighters

[Wilken]

Lady in red - Chris Deburgh

Faithfully - Journey

The Flame - Cheap Trick

Cheesy, sure, but they get the job done.

Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes"



This would be my choice, too.

[CD]

This would be my choice, too.
CD knows romance.

[tsmo]

meh., , right down the line - Gerry Rafferty ( also sang baker street ) great f'n tune. If ( when ) at somepoint I renew my vows. Im gonna sing it.

[fisher25]

My choice would be "Eternal Flame" BUT ONLY IF SHE IS RIGHT INTO YOU AND YOU ARE NOT BEING NEEDY AND KISSING HER BUTT !!

Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi
For You I Will by Teddy Geiger

[CWB]

"in your eyes" is a good choice . another possibility is steve winwood ; "higher love" ... a little more intensity .

i would avoid a song that references a girls name ... kind of distracts from the premis you are making .

a couple of ideas for the "romantic" video :

opening ... fade into a sunrise with mist/fog . sweeping scenic pan shots . use fadeout/in transitions between scenes when the subject matter requires a moment to adjust to . cross fade into the next scene if the subject matter is of a similar nature .

avoid transitioning into/out of close or intimate scenes with sliders/pushers/flippers ... too much "show" .

use cuts/chops/colds sparingly ... these tend to rip up the flow of the composition unless the timing with the audio is tight and the subject matter involved is very closely related (for example , different angles/pulls of the same action) .

it is better to dwell on a single scene (sometimes) rather than try to transition to 3-4 different items ... aka : too busy .

observe some well done videos ... watch how them that get paid do it !

listen/see/feel with your heart ... not your head .

good luck with it !

I'll go out on a limb and say "Angel" by Wumpscut My girl really loved it but that is just our taste in music :)

[BR3T7]

sister christian - Coheed & Cambria

acoustic sex, i think its a white snake cover though. :D

[HannibalKing69]

Sister Christian is a night ranger song. My suggestion is "Have you ever really loved a woman". Also, I'm not much of a country fan, but "Would you go with me" by Josh Turner. He has a voice that makes women either melt or want to drop the panties( of course hes no Barry or Marvin)

[keiththebeast]

orrrrrrrrrrrr
if you REALY want a lovely WORDED song then try this"Whitesnake LOOKING FOR LOVE"
its got an amazing build up to it...

[joerockhead]

Do you know what kind of music SHE likes?
What bands?

Maybe you can find one of her favorite groups that does a nice song.

That would be my first choice.

[embi3n]

Freebird

[masonx]

Stumbleline- Smashing Pumpkins
Kissing You- Des'Ree

but if ur gonna be cheesey, keep your tongue firmly in cheek (im talking about playing Lady in Red here!!)

[Ghetto Radio]

Lips of an angel, my gf was so touched by that music when i played that to ask her out :).

[dixie]

I love the song lips of an angel!!

[roastduck]

"The Scientist" by Coldplay
"Love Will Keep Us Alive" by The Eagles
"Echo" by Incubus
"What's This Life For?" by Creed
"Til Kingdom Comes" by Coldplay
"Running on Faith" by Clapton
"With or Without You" by U2
"Baby I Love Your Way" by Peter Frampton

[maggiesdragons]

Right here-staind

[TheMachine2007]

"Truly, Madly, Deeply" Savage Garden

[Echolalia]

The most romantic song I can think of is "Love Song" by the Cure. A lot of their songs would work (only if girl is into 80's goth music though).

[popknot]

"ordinary world" by duranduran

good luck with your stalker vid...

[xodkrm]

Hit 'Em Up - Tupac

[jeffc574]

Zep hit my favorite in the first post, "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton. Check her music collection, I like Little River Band as well.

[BackdoorJesus]

"Beef Bologna" by Fear

never fails to get the ladies going... :)
