- The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned): Random fact: there are 572 songs in my iTunes library with "love" in the title, and this one may be the swooniest. If "With this long last rush of air/let's speak our vows in starry whisper/and when the waves came crashing down/he closed his eyes and softly kissed her" isn't the prettiest love-lyric ever written, it's close.
- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Brompton Oratory
- Nick Drake - Northern Sky
- Ryan Adams - Desire
- Feist - Secret Heart
- The Civil Wars - Dance Me to the End of Love (Leonard Cohen cover)
- The Swell Season - In These Arms
- Army of Me - Love Song
- Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life
- Okkervil River - Mermaid: Another contender for swooniest lyric. "My hands meet, and they press to a point in the air/but my mouth fills with more panic than prayer/and my skull fills with more color than care/and my heart fills with love, with too much love to bear."
- The National - Slow Show
- Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
- The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out
- The Cure - Lovesong
- Suede - By the Sea

Unintended, Muse
Day too soon, Sia
Stolen, Dashboard Confessional
Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
You and I, Wilco
Till Kingdom Come, Coldplay
Falling Slowly, Swell Season
I like your list. Though there are a few I don't (yet) know! *runs off to track them down*
Good list! I'm only judging you for the Coldplay. ;) I love (and own all of) the rest.
Ha! That's the only song I like of theirs. I swear! :)
Oooh... Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice... haven't heard it in years... love that song.
