Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.

But seriously: Turn of the Century and Mad Man Moon are both fantastic songs about love, but I think none of them are love songs. Two very nice ones:

Onwards by Yes
Fire at Midnight by Jethro Tull

Oh of course. How could I forget The Full Gamut by The Tangent?

Just give it all an hour by the concrete lake.

PS - BJ-1, the second Present album (like you use for your avatar) is one of my top 5 favourite albums. Essential! :)

With you there to Help Me - Jethro Tull

Wond'ring Again - Jethro Tull

Grace - Jethro Tull

Lily of the Valley - Queen

Nevermore - Queen

I know the debate about Queen and prog gets fairly controversial at times but theres no denying these are two of the most beautiful ballads ever written. Freddie Mercury was Romance Incarnate.

VDGG Lost from H to He Who Am the Only One (albeit the less palatable side of love, the anguish of separation when the relationship breaks down etc)

Think of me with kindness - GG

But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't bear the glow
They did so long ago

Hazards of Love pt. 4 (The Drowning) - The Decemberists

This is one of the few songs that can literally make me tear up. This is a fantastic closer.

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... Cry

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.

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.
