...indeed, any song that starts...

*oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
as I climb into an empty bed*

says it all really on the unrequited love front!

oh well, enough said........

Can this category also include those perfect songs for maudlin nights alone with the cd collection and a bottle of wine?

Songs like -

'Only love can break your heart' Neil Young.
'Who knows where the time goes?' - Sandy Denny.
'Old friends' - everything but the girl.
'Heart like a wheel' ( like the McGarrigle Sisters version)
Time and time again - Counting Crows


'I wanted so badly
somebody other than me
staring back at me
but you were gone
i wanted to see you walking backwards
and get the sensation of you coming home
I wanted to see you walking away from me
Without the sensation of you leaving me alone'

fantastic!

What song are those lyrics from Daisy? I welled up just reading those, sums up this shit I'm going through at the moment pretty much perfectly

The words to Creep by Radiohead do it for me, especially the line;
"I want you to notice when I'm not around" really impresses me, how someone can capture that feeling and put into song.To me it is probably one of the few great love songs that does'nt include the word "baby" anywhere. It really bugs me when the likes of Bon Jovi or whoever just croon for 3 minutes 'bout "missing their baby" etc and think they have written a classic love song!
