Valentine's Day: 20 Greatest Love Songs Of All Time
12. "More Than Words" - Extreme
http://youtu.be/UrIiLvg58SY We say the word love too much. When I think about all the things that I love, Im struck by the lists length and ridiculousness (i.e. I love my family, sweatpants, Sour Patch Kids, an empty seat on the busyou can see where this is going). So I understand where 90s band Extreme was going when they released More Than Words: More than words is all you have to do to make it real/Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me/'Cause I'd already know. The songs a ballad without the 8-minute guitar solo and violin crescendo. Extreme takes a restrained approach and it works, showcasing Cherones vocals and Bettencourts harmonizing. The video takes the same minimalist approach; the only thing over the top is Bettencourt and Cherones hair, and it amazes me more than words.
