Best Of Montreal Love Song?

[patrock]

What do you think it is? I always thought "Requiem for OMM2" or "We Were Born Mutants again..." but I dunno there are so many.

[redbaron056]

Requiem is definetly up there and is also probably my favorite OM song, "Kissing in the Grass" is just a great song about young love. Also: "Your Magic is Working", "Du Og Meg", and "Baby" are my favorities.

[dwarfbeat]

Let's Do Everything for the First Time Forever and Everything Disappears When You Come Around are so good at capturing the amazing nature of early love.

"Du Og Meg" is my favorite. Every time I hear that song it makes me so happy for Kevin and Nina. I think about how much he went through with the separation and depression and how happy he is now that they are back together and it gives me faith in love, lol. Plus seeing it live you can just see how happy it makes Kevin.

[pinocchio]

1 - Joseph and Alexander I like cause it is about his love for David
2 - I also consider Jennifer Louise somewhat of a love song. Even though it's more that feeling that kills you when you long for someone from your childhood'


Then... Your Magic Is Working and Keep Sending Me Black Fireworks are the best real love songs. They are both beautiful.

[Slaehn]

I have always loved "We Were Born Mutants again..." because it has that depressing feeling to it, and for some reason I love that in a song. But I think "Let's Do Everything for the First Time Forever" captures love the best.

[Jackson, hello]

I gotta agree with those who say Black Fireworks Kevin-Demo Style and Your Magic is Working tied with Climb a Ladder.

"Du Og Meg" is my favorite. Every time I hear that song it makes me so happy for Kevin and Nina. I think about how much he went through with the separation and depression and how happy he is now that they are back together and it gives me faith in love, lol. Plus seeing it live you can just see how happy it makes Kevin.

also, "It's Just So"

[Peacy_P]

Probably Ah, My Kitten. Maybe One of a Very Few Kind or Sing You a Love You Song. Honeymoon in San Fransico is pretty lovely, too.

I can't really tell by the live recordings I have (as that's all I have), but Our Last Summer As Independents sounds like it will be a good love song.

[stompclapclap]

most definitely "neat little domestic life" and "dustin hoffman scrubs too hard and loses soap" (aka "does my voice not have wings", which is the demo version). i also really love "baby".

[stompclapclap]

ooh and i second fp's nomination of "it's just so"

[uncle eggma]

great ones! i was going to say "neat little domestic life" myself.

Lysergic Bliss!
And One of a Very Few of a Kind.

[cirrocumulus]

I love So Begins Our Alabee, which is kind of a dual love song for Nina and Alabee depending on how you view the lyrics. It's at once addressing the love he has for his daughter but also seems to talk to Nina at certain parts, and it's just so suffused with an almost desperate ecstasy that it gives me chills.

But also Lysergic Bliss is great in a similar vein, and We Were Born The Mutants Again With Leafling is so beautiful in its nuance and understatement.

[smilelelele]

Climb The Ladder and Your Magic Is Working are really great.

[jefferoo]

Nickee Coco And The Invisible Tree

not debatable.

even though its not a love song, really.

[Gin And Jews]

Let's do everything for the first time together and/or black fireworks.

and yes, our last summer as independents does sound great.

[jefferoo]

black fireworks is a classic, no doubt

To be honest, I am in love with "The Couple's First Kiss". It is so gorgeous and despite being instrumental it beautifully emotes the feeling of fresh young love. The steady peaceful vocal melody overlayed gives a sense of peace ywhile the little crazy awkward whistles and sirens represent the awkwardness of a first kiss.

[uncle eggma]

"i was driving at night with my wife, she's so beautiful, the love of my life, we drove into the sea."

fantastic love song lyrics.

[eckles]

Your magic is working or Climb the ladder.

[Funlovingpriest]

I can't believe no one mentioned this but my alltime favortie love song is Honeymoon in San Fransico.
It is the most lovely song and if just fills me up with joy

For my girlfriend i put Sing You A Love You Song on one of those "I am in love with you cds"

[redbaron056]

oh we've also left out Family Nouveau. When kevin played that acoustic at that Texas record store show it sounded so good. Also sing you a love song is a great song too.

[plex]

Tim, wish you were born a girl,
So I could've been your boyfriend.

'montreal' and/or 'panda bear'
"i go down on you, if that make you happy... my panda bear"
gripping, really. two of the best love songs of all time, in my opinion.
