Repost from a few years go, All updated: I admit it. I like ballads. Smooth seductive sometimes. Slow most of the time. I've made many picks of ballads, slow songs. This is just another one. The title is from the Jacksons lyrics. I like the song. Notice that some of these songs are not about love. So I wouldn't use all of these at a wedding. A few are about loss or cheating. That doesn't stop it from being a great ballad. At the time, these were some of the slow ballads I was listening to. I hope you enjoy the playlist.

ReplyDeleteI am just a dreamer
Jugband Blues asked the question: and what exactly is a dream
There is a love/hate thing with ballads
I don't like Drive, Private Dancer or True
but they fit so Let It Be,
I hate extreme more than words, but I love Alica Cooper's How You Gonna See Me Now. Ballads are so personal, you're kind of ballad doesn't have to be mine.
I like Dolly's and not Whitney's, I think Bonnie's The Best rather than Tina
It was said that if The Troggs couldn't get a girl with Wild Thing they'd not think twice to try if love is all around with a girl like you
Herman Brood and Henny Vrienten - No Ballad

I laughed when I read that! Brilliantly said! And you are right, of course. Very personal. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
