Something "Special" for Valentines Day...

Microphone_Kirby · 02-14-2009, 09:43 AM

Hey, anyone... I'm looking for songs with "Heart" in the title. Can you help me?
Just two other things:

One: they can't be Love Songs or anything like that. Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton is a good example of what I don't want. This song has the singer longing for someone to love. I don't need songs like that. >:[

Two: No Rap. Seriously.
As long as you abide by those three restrictions, I don't care what suggestions you give. Go nuts.

Anti-love Songs preferred, but not required. ;)

"Heart of Glass" by Blondie is kind of an anti-love song.

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-14-2009, 01:36 PM

"Heart That Remains" by Y-O-U is really just about a series of brief flings.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Arguable. I find it to be more of a "she complains about a love gone wrong" kinda song. Granted, "she" doesn't seem to be wanting at any point after the "love gone wrong", but "she" was certainly looking for love before time. It's just she found it at the wrong place.

Not necessarily what I'm looking for, since most of it sounded like "she" was in love and found love for "some guy". Whatever wasn't so sounded like mere complaining about love lost than "OMG, I hate love". Besides, it wasn't like she sounded like she was going to stop loving entirely.
Nice try, though.

Granted, but that's only what ended up happening. "He" sounded like he was actually trying to look for "some girl" to commit to.

"I Met Her At The Motel Grand.
I Knew It Wouldn't Be A One-Night Stand"?
"I Loved Her In The Morning Time, And In The Evening, Too.
With A Heart That Remains True"?
"Now I've Got Her This Girl's Meant To Be Mine.
I'm Gonna Love Her 'til The End Of Time,
Or However Long That Ends Up To Be.
She'll Probably Leave Me, Though, She's Just Like The Rest.
And I'll Be Left Looking For The Girl Who's Best.
I Can Only Hope She's Still Looking For Me"?

Certainly sounds like a love song, despite the fact they're "a series of brief flings. Not what I'm looking for at all. >:[

Disagree? Then by all means, argue. I don't mind a good argument.

I prefer a little help as outlined in the Opening post, though.

The Songs in question, in case you're interested:
YouTube - Blondie - Heart Of Glass 1978
YouTube - Heart That Remains

Do the whole verse, man.

Quote:

I met her at the Motel Grand,
I knew it wouldn't be a one-night stand,
So I rented a room for a couple of weeks.
Finest Franklin that I've ever spent,
Not a bad rate for two weeks' rent,
Though I must admit I didn't get too much sleep.

He knew it wouldn't be a one-night stand & it wasn't, but you don't just get a motel room with somebody you expect to stay with forever. Now verse 2...

Quote:

But then I met the girl with the smile,
I was thinking this could last a little while,
But that was right before the girl with braids in her hair.
I met her in the afternoon,
Think I might've spoke just a little too soon,
But she was gone before I had time to care.

Seriously, you think he's really even trying for a relationship?
Bridge:

Quote:

But then I said, "Bye bye, baby, bye bye,
You know that I love you so.
Bye bye, baby, bye bye,
I can't stand to see you go."

"I love you so" & "can't stand to see you go" as he's saying goodbye? C'mon.

He "loved" her in the morningtime & in the evening too. Probably sometimes right after lunch as well, hint, hint. His heart remaining true only meant that he didn't cheat on any of them.
The entire song is a bait-&-switch; it initially sounds like a love song, but then you realize it really REALLY isn't.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Is being vague good enough? I didn't really look for very long, but this pretty much topped the list.

YouTube - Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-15-2009, 11:06 AM

How about "Down in My Heart"? That kiddy church song?
Ooh, & "Deep in the Heart of Texas"!

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Heart Attack in a Layby by Porcupine Tree has nothing to do with longing for a woman, and has been interpreted about either being about a Serial Killer contemplating his actions after the act or a man dying from a heart attack after having fought with his wife and eventually deciding to go make up.

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-15-2009, 10:02 PM

One of the sections of "Fingertips" by TMBG is called "I'm Having a Heart Attack."

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Modest Mouse - Heart Cooks Brain
Rush - Closer to the Heart
Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart (some lyrics kinda seem like love song lyrics "Hold me closer" etc., but it's about an acid trip)
Weezer - Heart Songs

Great song.

YouTube - Don Henley - Heart of the Matter

Also great song.

Also, would any song by the band "Heart" count?
