Interior Design would seem to be their most romantic LP..

IMO, "Slowboat" is there most romantic song. Second choice is the ever haunting "The Louvre." And yes, these are my favorite Sparks albums, ever.

I Wanna Hold Your Hand, better then the original.
Slowboat - this song can cause a religous experience!

The slower and romantic songs on Pulling Rabbits which I adore very much.
I think they could easliy compose more softer songs (they hardly succed with sounding "aggressive") on the forthcoming album.

Seems to be a popular choice but Slowboat is still a classic.
When I'm with you, I Want To Hold Your Hand are also worth a mention.

Yes, Slowboat is a classic!

I remember, a few years ago, an american girl was looking for the song A walk Down Memory Lane... for his wedding.
Nice romance...

Falling In Love With Myself Again

The perfect romantic song for arrogant, self-centred egoists - which I'm not, of course.

P.S. Don't say you're going all slushy on us, St. Monicant ? Ah, how sweet!

Has to be Rosebud; who but a true romantic would comfort his fiancee, freshly mangled in a car wreck, with the words " there is beauty in pain"?

My kind of guy! :twisted:

Let's not forget that Here in Heaven is, essentially, the story of Romeo and Juliet, the second-greatest love story in history.


Let me amend my choice somewhat:


Most Romantic Songs By Decade:


70's: Here in Heaven
80's: Kiss Me Quick
90's: Let's Go Surfing

00's: I Married Myself


Oh, and the greatest love story in history?


Nabokov's Lolita, of course.

Lolita? Do you have a penchant for Young Girls, Marlowe?!!

Here in Heaven is, I think, one of the finest songs Ron has ever written. Sweet and poignant, it seems humerous at first, but is actually gut-wrenchingly sad. Russell's voice is positively heart-breaking when he sings the line "Second thoughts- first I broke my back."

But romantic? Juliet wants to be with her Romeo for all eternity; the woman in this song is cold-hearted and scheming. She reneges on her part of the deal and watches her lover fall to his death over a cliff. Doubtless, the whole suicide pact was her idea to begin with, and she already had a rich ugly guy lined up as a replacement. Meanwhile her lover is condemned to an eternity of heartache and regret. Nasty.

You have already admitted that you don't have all Sparks' albums. Therefore you not really in a position to make an informed choice!

"Things Can Change Overnight" is a sad song about a girl yearning for romance.
