Celebrities dish on their all-time favourite love songs!

 
Faisal Kapadia Musician (Strings)

"One of my old time favorite love songs would be 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' by U2. There are many songs I like but this goes twenty years back and reminds me of my college days and those innocent years. Out of the Pakistani love tunes, I like Vital Signs' 'Tum Duur Thay' and 'Aitebar'. I also like a lot of songs by Mehdi Hasan."

The rhythmic gospel, 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' brought U2 to the cover of Time magazine and was a huge chart topper. Vital Signs need no introduction - and the classic songs that Faisal likes are definitely among their most popular!

Mehdi Hasan's unique ghazals and powerful voice have given him the title of 'the king of ghazals'. Renowned throughout the subcontinent, this legendary singer's contribution to Pakistani music cannot be forgotten or matched easily!

"I like the old love song 'Wicked Games' by Chris Isaak because it has a beautiful video. 'Wicked Games' is a very sexy song- it's, well, inviting... I don't know how to describe it. I've had a crush on Chris Isaak since I was young. I also like 'Kiss From a Rose' by Seal. I've always been a huge Batman fan and so I love the song. Then there is 'November Rain' by Guns and Roses- one video I'll never forget. I'm bad at remembering lyrics and these are the three songs I can actually sing along to!"

'Wicked Games' was released as a single but didn't become a hit until it was featured in the film Wild At Heart. 'Kiss From a Rose' is off the soundtrack of Batman Forever and topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in the first week. The video has Seal performing the song besides the Bat-Signal, with video clips from the movie. 'November Rain', an eight-minute rock ballad, was the most requested video on MTV and won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Cinematography.
 
Mustafa Musician (Roxen)

"I've been listening to this one love song since it was released. It's called 'Breathing' by Lifehouse. I think it's the perfect love song for Valentine's Day."

'Breathing' is yet another hit song by Lifehouse - a band that has produced mellow love songs like 'You and Me' and 'Everything' to more rock-infused music like 'Hanging By A Moment'and 'Sick Cycle Carousel'. Lifehouse is one band known for their meaningful lyrics and 'Breathing' definitely doesn't disappoint- and is perfectly apt for this Valentine's Day weekend!
