This Velvet (g)Love

This is an attempt to make an article about the greatest love songs I have ever heard and being based on the principle of the surealistic artistic movement,like Salvador Dali, I will write this lines according to my inner percpective and subconcious. By that I do not refer to incomprehensible sum of mambo-jambo but to the thought's limestone also known as automatic writting*.
I am going to inaugurate this effort of recording those heartbreaking songs by reffering briefly to the bands that have given as the honour and pleasure to be born in our lifetime. First and foremost I must express my deepest satisfaction to have lived in an era where Led Zeppelin made history in worlwide music and have composed tracks of adamand ciezeld beauty.One of these diamonds is "Stairway To Heaven". The one-of-a-kind Plant's lyrics combined with the God Gimmy Page's outstanding musical creativity result on an better-than-fiction ballad which our children and the children of our children will still hear and will still pour their guts out from crying.
Now I would be a fool and an infidel to my musical beliefs if I was not to mention my being in love with The Pink Floyd(and I'm using a capital T for let's face it...THEY ARE GODS!!!). In my reference to them I must mention"Hey You" with the knee-cutting last crave from David Gilmour: "Together We Stand Devided We Fall" and their more widely known and acclaimed ballad "Wish You Where Here", a song not only about love but also about the super materilastic world whose debut was made back in 1975 when the album "Wish You Were Here" was marketted."Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage???".
In order to be objective in my presentation of these facts I ought to make a brief reference to the numerous ballads of Scorpions and some more metallic ones like "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica."Soldier of Fortune" from Deep Purple as well as "Europa" from the virtuose of guitar Carlos Santana...
Time now to take you to a different place (where peace loving whales flow through liquid outter space!IRRELEVANT!!!).I believe there are some modern ballads that will be remembered by those who still try to find something more in music. For instance no one can deny that the voice of Sivert Hoyem has given ,to the ones that have heard him, one of the most sensual and dark experiences. I will just mention "Only when You're Gone" and "Salt".Here is a useful list:
1)Doves - Last Broadcast
2)Norah Jones - The Nearness Of You
3)Moby - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad
4)Nick Cave(solo) - Into My Arms
5)Elvis Costello - She
6)Oasis - Wonderwall
7)KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World
8)James - Sometimes
9)U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own(I'm placing it here only because of its recent publication)
10)Radiohead - Karma Police
11)Keren Ann - Not going Anywhere

Those are just a few of the best...
It is time now to start talking about my personal favourite whose creators were my motive to make this blog.So to cut a long story short not only my favourite ballad but also my most beloved song ever,the track that makes me weep,laugh and cry at the same time is "This Velvet Glove" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I would like to write so many things about this song but I should refrain from doing so. I will just say that I have never heard a song with such density of meanings."This Velvet Glove"* contains the ammount of truth and honesty that you do not come across so often these days in the music indusrty.Every lyric is the summarization of a whole way of life .The outbearst in the chorus is like a storm with such a strength and indensity that can blow away the clouds of misery and vissisitude,it is the exact expression of love's deepest feelings,an elegy to unconditional love.Ok that's all I should say,if you would like to learn more buy "Californication".
Oh shit I almost forgot "Don't Forget Me" which Flea composed and wrote, you should hear this one too.Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hope you liked the article.See you soon:In school or via net.
