hi guys,
I'm looking for songs in 3/4, you know, the waltz type kinda song. 6/8 is good as well. I'm not that musically educated.
Bright Eyes - False Advertising Elliott Smith - Waltz # 2 Nights in white satin Everybody Hurts hide your love away Led Zep - Since I've been loving you ? Jimmy Eat World - hear you me
isn't there an arcade fire song on funeral as well in 3/4
all help is really welcome, you'd do me a great favour.

I think Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite by The Beatles is in 3/4. If not it definitely has a 3/4 section. There's a few Beatles tunes actually, You've got to hide your love away is 6/8 i think. A lot of Dylan/folk songs have a 3/4 strum to them, i.e. Times They Are A-Changing, and Ed's No More etc
Check out Jeff Buckley's cover of Edith Piaf's Je N'en Connais Pas Le Fin...it's beautiful. if you can, get the version from the live at sin-e album.

1. TENDERLY is a jazz standard in 3 with a some beautiful instrumental versions as well as a fantastic one with Nat King Cole and Oscar Peterson.
I love the lyrics:
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly I cant forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
2. SOMEWHERE, MY LOVE (Lara's Theme) from Dr. Zhivago.
3. TIME IN A BOTTLE by Jim Croce.
I really like these lyrics, too:
If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that Id like to do Is to save every day Till eternity passes away Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true Id save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you
