    • Love Song for No One

    Posted by Travis on March 4, 2008

    We are getting ready to start a 4 week series in church on God’s love called “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” We were trying today to think of some nice popular and fast love songs to play as walk-in and/or walk-out songs in the services. You got any suggestions? We were struggling. We ruled out the title song because of subject matter IN the song. I suggested “Wicked Game” by Chris Issack, but for obvious reasons that one got axed, along side of “I Wanna Sex You Up” by Color Me Bad when Chris suggested it. A few Beatles tunes came up, but seriously, what else?

    Thanks in advance for your service.

      Though I don’t think I’m quite serious, Over the Rhine’s oldie “My Love is a Fever” has some pretty sweet lyrics, and it REALLY fun to play. It’s about how hard to figure out love can be…i ‘love’ it. It’s a bluesy soulful romp…

      “my love is a fever my love is a fable my love is jazz licks improvised
      by toddlers, bold Ulysses, by nursery rhyme and firelight
      my love is a metamorphosis, reason, cold logic – intuitively speaking
      my love is syncopated, spoon-fed, ignorant, well-read
      my love is singular…my love is commonplace as a gravedigger’s own birthplace
      my love is a medicine: feeds the sick – heals the poor – turns up the volume on the blind
      my word it’s a trip, like a migraine on a moving train
      it parachutes aeroplanes – watch it fly
      eyes soar – hands clap – ears ring – it’s a sand trap
      hair raising amazing grace-ity transformations
      as lips sink, stomachs ache, monkeys shine, fire flies
      foxes trot
      hobs knob
      porches swing
      brains storm
      hearts attack and air supplies
      heads light
      tails spin
      steeples chase you
      along your chin
      rock slides
      out of the woods now
      a virgin in buckskin moccasins
      tall thin
      she plays your mandolin
      so maudlin you begin to spin
      out of the woods now”

      What about “Time of the Season” by the Zombies. Of course, I’d want to sing it, though…
