Sonic Youth love songs
 
OK, I want to make a mix CD of love songs/songs that make me think of her for my girlfriend, and I really want to introduce her to Sonic Youth, but the 3 songs I have in mind (Sugar Kane, Cotton Crown, or Shadow of a Doubt) may not actually be love songs...I mean, they could be INTERPRETED as such, but I'd feel weird including a song on mix CD of love songs that isn't intended as a love song.

If I go with any of them, it'll probably be Sugar Kane, as it's the most accessible of the 3. She's fairly casual about listening to music; she doesn't have any real favorite artists and takes pretty much everybody on a song-by-song basis.

why not...Genetic? different kind of love, I suppose.

These are not the droids he's looking for.

Honestly Sugar Kane is probably your best bet... Sonic Youth are such a hard band to introduce people to, especially people who dont devotedly listen to music.

wish fulfillment

you can't have love without a broken heart...

@ Chris Lawrence: Genetic is my personal anthem (especially the second verse), but the song itself seems more about being in love with someone in a relationship with someone else, so I don't think it's appropriate in this context.

@ Nefeli: PCH and Shaking Hell are about rape, which is the exact polar opposite of love. Karen Koltrane's an OK song, but it seems to be about a lost love, rather than a current love. According to Lee, we'll never know who Karen Koltrane was or is supposed to represent, but my guess is she is/was a former lover of his that he might still be involved with had she not died or gone insane from drugs...

I think Beauty Lies In The Eye is the most romantic song I have heard.

_slavo_ 12.21.2010 03:25 AM

Green Light is definitely the ultimate SY love song.
