There was a thread about this but it was locked. Love songs are usually terrible because the lyrics focus on "standard" love, but in prog when one happens to come up they have different way of looking at love.
What the f**k is "standard" love, and why is it terrible?

The Shepherd Song by Strawbs (off the From the Witchwood album) is a wonderful (if slightly erotic) love song.
They also did Tears and Pavan (off Bursting at the Seams). Dave Cousins is one of the rare prog writers who can write sensitive love songs in the prog genre.
"Out In the Cold" on Hero and Heroine also has some lyrics about love. Sort of.
I just listened Bursting at the Seems, what a wonderful album that is. Dave Cousins is a genius ...

I was thinking of 'Love Song With Flute' by Caravan and maybe 'Oh Caroline!' by Matching Mole but then I thought of 'Historia d' una gota d' aigua' by Gotic.
Even though it's lyricless I think it sounds like a love song, and a pretty epic one too!
When I met my wife the first song I played to her was O Caroline. She still loves Wyatt, maybe me too

Afterglow - Genesis Pigs On The Wing - Pink Floyd Still Life - Van Der Graaf Generator (To an extent) Space Dye Vest - Dream Theater (Also to an extent) Lavender - Marillion As we all know, love and related concepts aren't very popular lyrical themes for Prog but there's a couple.
I think Different Strings would be more appropriate as Entre Nous is more about relationships in general, I think, as opposed to Different Strings, where its specifically about love but I'm not entirely sure.
I'm not sure that this is a "love song" per se, but it is a very lovely & romantic song from an album with many romantic moments on it. (be sure to read the comments, they are a hoot!!)
Love this tune! One of Focus's best! I remember a couple years back I was at a friends house and me, my friend and his father were all jamming along to it and we were all taking improvised solos. Me on guitar, my friend on drums and his dad on the Hammond Organ. Funnest Jam I have ever had. The guitar solo/melody makes me weep....
