1960, 1970s love songs (not too hard - not too soft)

Post Reply New Topic

By any chance, do the not too hard, yet not too soft love songs "stand-out" with interest regarding the Autism Spectrum (AS) - that is many "too soft" love-songs convey emotions difficult for the Autism Spectrum to handle?

The 1960s and 1970s were that awesome time for the well..........."just right" tones of love songs. Quite a few such songs were too numerous too mention. Enclosed are two specific songs that stood-out in a (sleep) dream. In the dream, an awesome lady was present, and she enjoyed these two songs:

* BeeGees 'Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)'- 1975: Note the dynamics in the around the first half-minute of the song. The dynamics from just 15 seconds before the minute and a half point of the song are awesome!

* The Four Tops 'Reach-Out (I'll Be There)' - 1966: Note the initial vocal introduction.

Like many of these songs for the 60s and 70s, they are best listened to on vinyl records, and cassette tapes. "Okay, CDs are also good!"

Another thing that stands-out with these two songs are titles including parenthesis; that is with any awesome songs, and esp. love-songs, song titles with parenthesis might be well...........considered a faux-pas of sorts.

Anybody note specific songs in their (sleep) dreams?

I adore the soft rock that flourished in the 70s, and I feel kinda bad for the kids who grew up with mind rattling, obnoxious electronic music. Although to each his own.

I much prefer mellow songs by artists like Linda Ronstadt, Ambrosia, and Paul Simon that explore our emotions thoughtfully. But not too soft!

In particular, J D Southern's "You're Only Lonely", (Love You) Inside and Out by the Bee Gees, and Lobo's "I'd Love You to Want Me" never fail to hit me "just right".

Nope.

edit, nvm, that video got as bit too steamy.

I really like old Hall & Oates music from the 1970's, like the song When the Morning Comes. It's mellow and sounds summery somehow.
