I'm making a CD for my girlfriend of love songs and need to find some that actually have some emotional weight to them. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanx all.

Nine Inch Nails - the perfect drug
Down By Law - I Would Walk 500 Miles
Foo Fighters - Everlong

El Scorcho

Any mix CD to a girl should have Unwritten Law's "Cailin" on it.

It may not be light and airy, but I always thought the lyrics to Ozzy Osbourne's "I Just Want You" were potent.

shumway

1. When you say nothing at all by Keith Whitley, or the version by Allison Krause and the Union Station.
