Valentine's Day: 20 Greatest Love Songs Of All Time
14. "Sweetest Taboo" - Sade
http://youtu.be/kcPc18SG6uA Two of the definitions of the word taboo: 1) forbidden because of what are held to be dangerous supernatural powers, 2) banned as constituting a risk (Merriam-Webster). Yep, sounds like love to me. Maybe thats why the song resonates with so many people; it captures the push-and-pull of love. If I tell you/ If I tell you now/ Will you keep/Will you keep on loving me? Throw in a little self-deprecation (Sometimes I think youre just too good for me) and obsession (Id do anything for you/Id stand out in the rain) and it could be the collective love lives of the women on the Bachelor. Even with the lyrics, the song still goes down smooth, Sades voice just has that quality about it, and her backing band is phenomenal.
