I was just wondering, is bike the only Pink floyd love song, about a "girl who fits in my world" and "I give you anything, everything if you want things"? I dunno if I can recognize many other Floyd songs that are love songs. Of course, there is Young Lust and One of my turns, but they aren't exactly love sonnets if you know what I mean.......

You know, I'm not sure. Bike does sound love like but not completely. If they haven't, that's impressive. No love songs.

Not who I used to be.

Do You Realize??

A Pillow of Winds is a love song.

Roger wrote Pigs On The Wing for his then-wife Caroline, I think her name was.

Bike is the closest thing Syd ever did to a love song. It's about letting some girl into his world.
Coming back to life is also a love song.
Apparently Roger wrote Pigs on the wing pts 1&2 for his girlfriend/ wife at the time.

Oh hell...there's plenty. I'm mean Rick certainly had a few...."Stay" and "Summer 68" come to mind right off the bat....and don't tell me "one night stand" songs aren't love songs....they're the best kind! Floyd just had a much more left of center take on the love songs they did.

I've always liked the fact that they took upon themselves to usually write about more interesting subject matter in their songs.

The Final Cut, a lovesong of sorts...the guarded anxiety of emotionally opening up...
...and if i show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight
and if i open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do...

Icy wind of night be gone...this is not your domain

I'd be tempted to say that Wish You Were Here was a love song. Anyone else with me on this?
