Hey everybody. Anyone know any love songs you can hear when you are far away from your girlfriend whom you probably wont see for a long time? The songs have to be mellow and in some way classic. Preferable not rock.. but you know, mellow. Songs that makes you cry out your heart but still gives you strength and hope that she will be there when I return. Im thinking violins, acoustic guitar or piano or something like that.

Im also thinking of making a playlist with songs she can hear while im gone.

The only song I can come up with is Richard Marx - Now and Forever

Updated: Also Atlantic Starr - Always

Guns 'N Roses - Patience

hmm yeah thats a nice song, it certaintly gives you hope

I have also thought about Atlantic Starr - Always

Best of Me - The Starting Line

I really like the acoustic version, so check that out if you are looking for something mellow.

Check out this playlist:
The Layers Long Distance Love

thats definitely a nice playlist, but its too much rock-like, im more searching for songs in the same genre as the two above mentioned songs: Atlantic Starr - Always and Richard Marx - Now and Forever

however I must admit theres a few really good songs between those :)

I love Umbrella by Marie Digby...very mellow...and almost meaningful without Rihanna screeching on it. T

Tears Dry On Their Own by Amy Winehouse the rehab girl

hope you and your ball and chain are together soon

..gee i wish i had a girlfriend oh well.

check out my playlist. i'm in the same situation you are. it sucks.
lonely dreaming loving missing
its named after a song i wrote

I think I've suggested this songs on a couple of other threads!

But I suggest you check out Death Cab For Cutie's 'Transatlanticism', from the album of the same name. The music is how you described it, here's a taste of the lyrics:

"Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh, no

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer"

I was just thinking by Teitur.
Be here now by Ray Lamontagne.
Leaving on a jetplane by anyone. That song is great in any version.
