    Default Some good easy listening music for a romantic date

    I'm planning a romantic date at my house. You know, some some food and afterwards a boardgame or a movie, ...
    Of course there has to be good (fitting) music in the background.

    My choices so far:

    Les filles du bord de mer - Arno
    Hotel lounge - Deus
    Don't look back in anger - Oasis
    Le plat pays - Jacques Brel
    Glory box - Portishead
    Ahead by a century - Tragically hip
    Sherry Fraser - Marcy's playground
    The drugs don't work - The Verve
    Teardrop - Massive attack
    Our daily reminders - Zita Swoon
    Nantes - Beirut
    Envoi - Absynth minded
    Never forget you - Noisettes
    Heartbeat - José Gonzalez
    ...

    Let's see what you guys come up with.

    I would play anything classical. Harp, piano, violin. Just something without lyrics to accompany your conversation.

    And here you are thinking that I'm good at conversation.

    Besides, a date is all about presenting yourself and getting to know the other. Classical music is not something I play very often.

    Ha ha! I don't claim to be good at conversation either, but I might find myself straying from my company as I listen to the lyrics. Especially if it is music I am fond of.

    im not twelve. and im not with hookers.

    also candyshop is incredibly degrading to women.

    That song while dirty is not really degrading.

    OK, I like Little Dragon. This is something to look into further.

    Centurion, classical hero, I absolutely hate R&B and I don't regard hiphop/rap much higher.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I also considered Sex and candy by Marcy's playground or just play some soft saxophone in the background but that would be a bit to obvious.

    Nice suggestion Andres and Ronin. I believe I have both CD's in my car.

    A good list you got there Secura. Your suggestions do reveal your gender, if I may say so.

    What I also thought of:
    Set the fire to the third bar - Snow Patrol & Martha Wainwright
    Seemann - Rammstein
    My angel Gabriel - Lamb
    All I need - Air

    I can't get enough of this song. I heard it as background music on one of the Michelle Phan makeup tutorials. Yes, I watch those, because her and her sister are hot and have really pleasant voices.

    I get a really 'late night/early morning between drunk an sober'-vibe from that song.

    Glad to have been of some help! I'm sure there's gentlemen out there that would listen to that sort of stuff too, though... even if few will admit it. :P

    Ronin, you wouldn't be a QOTSA now would you? I must admit I liked them ever since I saw their first gig in Belgium.

    huge fan.

    never saw them live though, had a change a few years ago but I was not a big fan at the time and ended up missing it.
    still hit my head on the wall daily for that one.


    now for something different, so you can impress the lady with your international music tastes...something from my neck of the woods.

    Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

    In 1987, Huey released "Fore!", their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is Hip To be Square. It's so catchy that most people don't even listen to the lyrics, but they should! Because it's not just about the dangers of conformity and the importance of trends, its also a personal statement about the band itself.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Contributing something. Either you're going to like what I offer or you won't, explaining why I like it won't do anything to change your opinion. So here's a light-hearted troll post, and one of my personal favorites.
