Help with music suggestions

[Wishing on a star]

I am thinking about putting together some nice, easy listening, romantic, maybe even slow-groove music for a weekend getaway that my husband and I are planning.

I am SO out of the loop when it comes to music.
(I don't hear well, so I guess that is why)

I have heard a couple songs on Dancing With The Stars. Last night there was one song that I do not know what it was. Earlier they just played 'time of my life' (not sure if that is the actual title)

Anyy good suggestions from you DISers!

Hmmm, there's romantic, like "Time of my life" and romantic, as in Barry White......

I'm sure you'll get heaps of suggestions.

I'm not all that familiar with a lot of new stuff either, but I quite like John Mayer especially Gravity or really the whole Continuum CD.

Try some Sarah McLachlan, or Enya for more mood music. Ummm....that's all that springs to mind at the moment.

I think one of the most romantic songs ever is Stranger on the Shore, by Acker Bilk:

Both kinds of 'romantic' are fine...

Thanks everyone, keep the ideas coming!

I would say take all of Norah Jones' music and you won't need anything else...except maybe Norah Jones herself, but that might just be me

Just about anything by Marvin Gaye would be perfect.

Some others:

Nice and Slow, by Usher
Wicked Game, by Chris Isaak
Hallelujah, by Leonard Cohen (or Jeff Buckley, or Rufus Wainwright)
I Want Love, by Elton John (although, maybe it's just the video that warms me up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_u6l7EsQMc&feature=related)

I love Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah, his version is perfect.

Dave Matthews (with and without the band):

Grey Blue Eyes *little bit sad though, but haunting
Stay or Leave *maybe not so romantic
Lover Lay Down *I think the title says it all


Diana Krall:

Just about anything from The Look of Love, When I Look Into Your Eyes and Love Scenes.

Susan Tedeschi:

Lot of songs on Wait For Me

Don't forget the standards like Claptons Wonderful Tonight.
Bob Dylan Lay Lady Lay

What about some Van Morrison
