	Greatest Love Songs: 1980s Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Hey fellows, to take away from all the horrors of discussing war and death and taxes, I'm gonna start a new series of threads regarding what we think are the best songs of a category of a decade. Genre doesn't matter in this case: just make a case for the songs. Since I'm starting the thread...I'll start off.

"I'll Be There For You" - Bon Jovi

I've always felt that Jon Bon Jovi was one of the greatest lyricists of hairband rock. This song is filled with innocent emotion, and the guitar riffs are both catchy and worth remembering, especially in the intro. Perhaps the lyrics that sum up this song are "Words can't say what love can do/I'll be there for you."

"And So It Goes" - Billy Joel

This song epitomizes the unending love for a person, even though that person has moved on. This song refrains from being overly dramatic about the failed relationship while maintaining its belief that doing what's right for the other person is in itself a loving maneuver.

I guess you could argue that Night Shift is a love song about Marvin Gaye, though it isn't a "love song" per se.

Night Shift is not a love song. It's about Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson.

quote: Marvin*, he was a friend of mine And he could sing a song, his heart in every line Marvin, sang of the joy and pain He opened up our minds, and I still can hear him say Aw talk to me so you can see what's going on** Say you will sing your songs forevermore (evermore) CHORUS: Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the nightshift I bet you're singing proud, oh I bet you'll pull a crowd Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right on the nightshift Oh you found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift Jackie*** (Jackie), hey whatcha doing now It seems like yesterday when we were working out Jackie (Jackie, oh) you set the world on fire You came and gifted us, your love it lifted us higher and higher**** Keep it up and we'll be there at your side Oh say you will sing your songs forevermore (evermore) CHORUS Gonna miss your sweet voice that soulful voice on the nightshift We all remember you, oh the songs are coming through At the end of a long day it's gonna be okay on the nightshift You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift

*Marvin Gaye
**A reference to Gaye's song and album "What's Going On."
***Jackie Wilson
****A reference to Wilsons song "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher."
