My all time favorite cuddle song now -- not for the ambience necessarily, but for the entendre -- is Cover Me, by Bruce Springsteen. And yours?
I'm lookin for a lover who will Come on in and cover me.
That's a good one!
I'll have to think about what my favourite cuddling song would be.
"In Your Arms" - by Erasure, a cuddles benediction:
"The walls come tumbling down We'll be forever calm And you'll be here in my arms I'll keep you away from harm"
I don't know how entendre this one is , but I always liked "IF" by bread the lyrics " you come and pour yourself on me"
If anyone is interested, I have a big cuddle playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/1273965338/playlist/30IASI6GdbpsFoNeeqojVU
It's mostly indie acoustic folk type music, though.
As far as a particular song, I love "She Whispers" by Moda Spira. It does have an understated erotic element, but it focuses on the power and magic of touch which I really like.
"Entendre" really confused me until I realized "cuddle entendre" was a play on words. It seems like a dangerous risk of miscommunication, though, to use a word like that which is otherwise only used in English to describe covertly sexual communication.
Plumb's "In My Arms" is one of my favorite songs that inspires thoughts of cuddling. The song is about parental love for a child and has some very nice contrasts between the rough world and the comfort/safety of being held.
Lemonheads "Into Your Arms" -I know a place where I can go, when I'm alone. Into your arms, into your arms, I can go
Off With Their Heads "My Episodes"-I'm just happy right now that your arms are around me
Muse - starlight.
"Hold you in my arms, i just wanted to hold... you in my arms... "
Sia - breathe me
"Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, unfold me I am small, I'm needy Warm me up and breathe me"
"Hold Me Now" - Thompson Twins
(Hey, don't go knockin' my 80's songs.)
@Sideon here's another 80's 'classic'
Touch me - Sam Fox
"Touch me, touch me I want to feel your body Your heartbeat next to mine"
OK, going with an international flavour, this is a Dutch song, love the melody, especially how it starts, kinda makes me think of waking up early in the morning in someone's arms. Here's the link:
And here are the translated lyrics:
'tis so delicious to be with you, between dream and reality, and then I don't ask myself, if it's good what we're doing.
Lying becomes quickly a habit, to get a few hours of tenderness, but the truth I can't face yet.
Wake me before you go, because if you leave me now, I'll never see you again. Wake me too if you stay, and assure me that I'm not dreaming it.
Come close, turn the light off, and lay your arm softly around me, because what I need right now is to be alone with you.
Tomorrow is still so far away and I've almost forgotten how it sounds when you say "yes I love you".
Wake me before you go, because if you leave me now, I'll never see you again. Wake me too if you stay, and assure me that I'm not dreaming but awake.
No, say nothing now, oh please, nothing
Wake me too if you stay, and assure me that I'm not dreaming but awake. Wake me before you go, because if you leave me now, I'll never, no never, see you again.
Some honorable mentions:
"Hold Me" - Fleetwood Mac "I Want To Hold Your Hand" - Beatles "Baby Can I Hold You" - Tracy Chapman
Darkest Hour "WIth a Thousand Words to Say but One"
I just want to take you where our time won't be wasted anymore Through the mountains on the water we'll stay engulfed in one another And when I can wake up to see the sunrise in your eyes And we'll finally be free, I'll know, I've made it home
Warrior Soul "Lullaby"
Go to sleep In my arms A soul to keep From all harm I lie awake In a crystal calm Your face so sweet til The end of time A lullaby Makes you feel better The world's all but died But we're together
Converge "Glacial Pace"
my love, wrap your hands around my heart free me from the frost that enveloped my life my love, reach out your arms and pull me close let us tread in silence as their world drowns beneath
The Bled "Nothing We Say Leaves This Room"
And just between me and you I felt the rapture in your arms And Just between me and you I think I'm dying in your arms
Hollywood Undead "Outside"
Someone left the door open Who left me outside I'm bent, I'm not broken Come live in my life All the words left unspoken Are the pages I write On my knees and I'm hoping That someone holds me tonight Hold me tonight
Maybe a bit over romantic but ... The Carpenters: "Close to you"
Decided to change this one for an Otis Redding song:
John Krajcik: "Let Me Hold You"
Dr Hook. “A little bit more”.
Lately I've grown very fond of Genie in a Bottle (Christina Aguilera) as a cuddle song:
If you wanna be with me Baby there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle You gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me I can make your wish come true You gotta make a big impression (oh yeah) Gotta like what you do
I like 'Snuggle Song' by Schnuffel Bunny. You can find it if you look it up on YouTube. It is a really cute song.
@MoonlightSonata, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is a beautiful piece! Do you play the piano?
@TomLaJolla I do play the piano as well as many other musical instruments. And I also sing.
@MoonlightSonata Wonderful! I play the viola in a symphony. ?? I'll think of music I like to cuddle to.
@TomLaJolla That is really awesome. It is always good to meet other musicians.
