Yes... I've been in a very lovey dovey mood as of late. Problem with most metal songs seems to be about death, violence, the great red one, some random philosophical concept or dragon slaying in the land of nevermore.

Are there any love songs? Preferably good ones of course!

Any genre demands?

Black Sabbath's Sabbra Cadarba and Priest's (Take These) Chains are the obvious answers. To a lesser extent, Megadeth's Loved to Deth is Dave Mustaine's version of a love song, although it invloves Dave killing a girl who doesn't wanna have sex with him, which may not be what you're looking for.

The best: Sonata Arctica, San Sebastian. Most of their stuff is about emotions and all that anyway so they're a brilliant place to look, but San Sebastian is just an awesome love song.

Oh Rata Blanca have a few, i have to check them out and tell you.

Edit: El Sueño de la Gitana, Ella, La Misma Mujer, Mujer Amante, La Leyenda del Hada y el Mago, Solo Para Amarte, Nada es Facil sin Tu Amor, Sin Tu Amor Nada Existe, Aun Estas En Mis Sueños

Of Course, their best song by far is La Leyenda Del Hada Y El Mago

Love songs make me feel way more sad and depressed than any songs about violence and death... lol

Here's some though:

Megadeth - Promises, Ecstacy
Annihilator - The One, Sounds Good To Me
Blind Guardian - Maiden And The Minstrel Knight
Stratovarius - When Mountains Fall
W.A.S.P. - Hold On To My Heart
Danzig - Blood And Tears
Helloween - If I Knew
Judas Priest - Prisoner Of Your Eyes
Freedom Call - Bleeding Heart
Overkill - Promises
Symphony X - The Sacrifice

Ah well, as was said there are many from Sonata Arctica, like Tallulah, Shy, My Selene

There is also an early In Flames EP (Subterranean) which sort of covers this subject (but I am not sure whether its what you're looking for or not, they're kind of negative)
Stand Ablaze
Biospehere
Subterranean

Looking at the lyrics, I would say Arcturus - To Thou Who Dwellest in the Night is a strange love song as well.

Later Norther also wrote many but they are kind of bad. Maybe Omen is an exception.






And of course Marduk - Bleached Bones (kidding)

Motorhead - Love Me Like a Reptile xD

Riverside - Conceiving You.
Even though it leans more towards Progressive Rock than Metal, I would HIGHLY recommend it regardless.

Enjoy

Strapping Young Lad- Love?
Devin Townsend- Kingdom

Those two aren't conventional love songs but are about love and its psychological demands and affects. But I think Kingdom definitely has that feeling of love down. It's all playful and melodic, but concurrently, emotionally out of control and uncertain. That's the way love is... so I think.

Cannibal Corpse - Fucked with a Knife

Nightwish - Feel For You, and to some extent Beauty of the Beast....both from Century Child.

I agree that it might be a good choice.

Riverside have some songs to that effect but maybe they wouldn't necessarily fit the "love song" label. "Ok" as well, I think it would be fitting. Or "Through The Other Side" from Rapid Eye Movement.

Interesting thread by the way

"Conceiving You" embodies all the butterflies-in-my-stomach moments of romance perfectly in my opinion.
Come to think of it, "My Heart is a Tomb" by Ghost Brigade might be a good choice too. It's not a typical love song by any means, but it captures the "painful longing" essence of love perfectly.

Sentenced, while obviously being a very depressing band, have a couple of great love songs, "You Are the One" and "Her Last 5 Minutes".

"You Are the One" is definitely the more hopeful song of the two, while "Her Last 5 Minutes" just makes you want to cry. Both are beautiful, though.

TESTAMENT - LEAVE ME FOREVER.
Genius and love inspired!

And also:
Annihilator - No Love.

But if you mean ballads including, that's another story...

'Promises' from Adagio is another great one.

Symphony X - The Sacrifice
Adagio - Promises
Kamelot - Love You To Death (although this may a bit on the sadder side lol)

Some classics:
Queensryche's Silent Lucidity
Judas Priest's Diamonds and Rust
Kiss's Forever
Others:
Creed's Last Breath, With Arms Wide Open
Disturbed's Overburden
Killswitch Engage's The End Of Heartache

Kamelot Power Metal \ Symphonic Metal
The Haunting (Somewhere In Time) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QszOjJ89w20

Metalcore got me into the more extreme stuff, so here's some metalcore love songs

Not Alone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c2uuty3Qkk

Joe Satriani Instrumental Hard Rock \ Metal

Always With Me, Always With You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4fPv450OYM&feature=related

Norther Power Metal \ Harsh Vocals
More of a break-up song, but it'll do.

Frozen Angel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Y8KycT2Mc

Disturbed Nu-Metal

Stricken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNjCZrsH25Q

Probably Motörhead"s Christine
and maybe, although it"s core, Love Song by Caliban

Testament - Leave me forever.

Too much... and i think all these songs are fake... I imagine Tollki writing Coming home, he's fat, ugly and boring, who should love him??? If I was a girl and he's coming home I'd run away fast!

San Sebastian is written more to my kinda taste.
