All Time Low - Remembering Sunday

Although it's slighty upsetting.

I've never in my life played a song to a girl, but I enjoy playing

Hey Jonny Park (Foo Fighters)
Play Crack The Sky (Brand New)
Atlantic City (Bruce Springsteen)
Upward Over The Mountain (Iron and Wine)

When I have a strum on the acoustic.

play crack the sky will always be a favorite.

ive only ever personally played my own song forecast the overcast one-on-one to one girl though, and thats the girl i wrote it for.

I played "Feeling This" by Blink for a girl once, and "Love Like Rockets" by Angels & Airwaves.

Both went down well :)

my exgirlfriend was pretty stupid, she heard me playing New American Classic and thought it was for her, should have read the lyrics really haha.

One girlfriend I cared about I'd just play her favourite songs, like There Is by Boxcar Racer and If It Means Alot To You

oh god, too many.

Just Like Heaven - The Cure
New American Classic - Taking Back Sunday
Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World
Sam, As In Samantha - Tiger Lou
Play Crack The Sky - Brand New
First Day Of My Life - Bright Eyes

That's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I used to do practice acoustic runs by playing those songs to whoever I was with. Oh and I've played a lot of originals as well.

I Want To Save You - Soco

I Want To Know Your Plans - Say Anything

At Last- Etta James
Gin War- Cassino

Sidenote- If you learn to play 'At Last', and can sing it well, it will work EVERY time.

Gender is a social construct. I play my the same stuff on my bass around/for my girlfriends that I do my guyfriends.
