Sappy songs that won't make you look like a girly-man.

Alright, I'm going to try to do this while keeping my man-card...

 

 

Love has always been a main topic in music, regardless of your genre. Buddy Holly sang about his girl, Elvis breathed sappiness into a ton of his songs, even rappers talk about their "hoes" from time to time. It's still a theme in some of the songs by bands of today. I'm trying to think of some love songs that don't suck, that you would listen to while you're hanging out with your girlfriend and your dude friends. So far I've come up with:

 

 

Dear God- Avenged Sevenfold

I Miss You- Blink 182

The Rock Show- Blink 182

Calling You- Blue October

Glycerine- Bush

I Will Buy You a New Life- Everclear

Santa Monica- Everclear

Time of Your Life- Green Day

Whatsername- Green Day

When You Were Young- The Killers

Molly's Lips- Nirvana

Heart-Shaped Box- Nirvana

Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?- The Offspring

Want You Bad- The Offspring

By The Way- The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Don't Wake Me- Skillet

Believe- Skillet

Forgiven- Skillet

Lucy- Skillet

With Me- Sum 41

Semi-Charmed Life- Third Eye Blind

Lost In You- Three Days Grace

O Girlfriend- Weezer

Put Me Back Together- Weezer

Trippin' Down the Freeway- Weezer

 

 

Those are just the ones my girlfriend has the playlist she made on my iPod. Anyone else have any?

Fantastic. Pequodders too macho fer some love, ain't ye?

 

Real men (i. e. The Will, which happens to be me, Tabris) affirm the existence of their feminine side and seek a balance between both.

 

But anyhow, possibly politically incorrect aside aside, here are mine (keep in mind that your girlfriend would see fit to break up with ye the minute she hears this):

 

 

That much.

Give Me A Sign- Breaking Benjamin

Almost- Bowling For Soup

Hey Jealousy- Gin Blossoms

Careless Whisper- Seether

Broken- Seether

I'd Do Anything- Simple Plan

F*** Her Gently- Tenacious D

American Girl-Tom Petty

Well, considering the type of music you listen to, I'd say try this:

Opeth - Harvest

Opeth - Face of Melinda

Opeth - Isolation Years

Dream Theater - One Last Time

The Crüxshadows - A Promise Made

 

Lacrimosa or L'Âme Immortelle are good for tragic love songs but CAREFUL, sometimes they pull the tragicness a bit too much.>_> I'd keep it for when you break up one day...well hope you don't.

Non-sad song by Lacrimosa:

 

<--well the title of Koishi Komeiji, the character the song is about, is "the closed eyes of love" and from how I know Aki Misawa, it's probably about love <3

 

Hope it helped.^^

But what is masculinity, anyway?

 

I don't have any compunctions about listening to the soppier stuff by Jack Johnson, Terra Naomi, etc. with friends around. I don't think it's particularly effeminate.

 

Oh, and any "heartbreak song" is pretty much automatically ok to listen to. I don't think that really counts. Eg. Snuff, by Slipknot.
