Beatles sang a lot about romantic love and about relationships, but two Beatles songs that was about just love in it’s broadest sense were:
All You Need Is Love

David, that first video is hilarious. Paul’s expression is funny. The Seekers are great, it’s too bad as you mentioned previously they did not try to write their own songs. With their musicianship talent and their own songs, they could have done a lot more.

Great question ! I love And I love her by the Beatles, such beautiful lyrics and guitar playing. One that I always sing to my wife Nancy at Karaoke!

Hi Bill, And I Love Her is one of my favourite Beatles love songs too. The guitar sound and singing is great.

The Association was a very underrated vocal group. They had several songs that are still very well known today, and yet you never hear or read anything about them.

Love isn’t in the title, but it’s definitely the subject:

It’s not rock and roll, but it’s a classic about new love:

David, some great selections there. I can feel the joy and love in those 3 songs. Those old tunes some how capture a magic that makes you feel good. Natalie Wood can really sing great.
In that same vein Bob Marley’s stuff has a lot of joy and love. Even if it does not say love, I can certainly feel it. These all have that wonderful MLT “No More Worries Company” vibe to them!

I love this scene about Bob Marley in the movie I am Legend. You got to see this clip! It says it all for me.
Light up the darkness!!!
