CLARICE: Okay, don't laugh, but Cher's A SONG FOR THE LONELY is my favorite inspiring sound track. The line - 'When heroes fall in love or war, they live forever...' sort of sums up the kind of books I want to write. Needless to say, I've played that track plenty of times while setting up my heroes to fall in love.
B.E.: Oh yeah. Music can really take me back to times when a particular song was important in my life, or transport me to a world of feeling. Any song. And as far as love songs go, that can be a good thing or a bad thing. I can't listen to some songs that were 'our song' before the relationship failed. Those songs, no matter how wonderfully written they are (or how glad I am to be out of said failed romance) can still wrench my heart.
But even today, listening to Frank Sinatra transports me to a cozy spot in front the fire and the night my husband and I fell the rest of the way in love.
JB: It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing, if I hear our wedding song I'm filled with warm fuzzy memories. (Fuzzy because we've been married a long time!)
Whenever I hear Runaround Sue I wonder whatever happened to the couple I knew that chose THAT as their wedding song (the bride's name was Sue).

Clarice -- I've got to say that Cher song is one of my LEAST favorite songs of all time, lol.
Clarice, I had to Google that song. Love the lyrics. Not a big fan of Cher. Wish someone else would cover it...
BE, the Rat Pack guys were favs of my parents. Grew up listening to Sinatra and the rest!
JB, that's too funny. With that sort of sense of humor (hopefully it was meant to be funny!), I'd hope they've stayed together.
I have songs attached to events and people and whenever I hear one, the memories flood in. I'm not sure I have just one favorite love song, but the one that comes to mind at the moment is Metallica's NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
JB, you would not want to swap iPods with me, then. LOL
