My absolute favorite--go Queen!

You Loved Me - Joy Williams

I had a boyfriend. We'd get together. We'd break up. We'd get back together. It was about three years. One Sunday afternoon after we'd finished fucking, we ran into each other in our usual bar, this song played, and that was as close as he ever came to crying. It's been a great "futility-of-it-all" song for me.

The sex was great. He just didn't love me as much as I loved him.

Holding Together - TOMOS ft. Ana Michell

Hello R101 from R100. Good song suggestion. I think you might be right. WW for you!

Another Diane Warren monstrosity, this time with a video so bad it was pulled by the band from MTV after only a few airings: "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" - Chicago

Here's something more recent. The song is okay, but Capaldi elevates it with the raw emotion of his voice.

And finally...

Did anyone mention For No One by the Beatles?
