7. I Want to Know What Love Is - Foreigner
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYT7y6lFJtw Now this mountain I must climb Feels like a world upon my shoulders And through the clouds I see love shine It keeps me warm as life grows colder One of the biggest hits for Foreigner, I Want To Know What Love Is is a sterling power ballad which still gets plenty of radio play to this day. Also covered to death by many recording artists such as Mariah Carey, Wynonna Judd and Tina Arena but the original is the best. Capturing the angst of the human soul yearning for true love, the song is often thought by fans to refer to divine love. Whatever its meaning, it is likely to be played regularly on Heart FM well into the next century.
