5.0 out of 5 stars So beautiful, February 26, 2005

This song is so beautiful, I have no words to describe how truly charming it is. The piano notes add a certain romantic quality to it and the drum beat is so chilled, yet so extravagant. Add that to Peter Doherty's sexy "bedroom-voice" and you get an amazing collaboration. For Lovers has all the elements to make you want to cry, smile and sing along. Listening to Pete belt out "This is for lovers....running away" you really do feel like you're in love and can't help but imagine yourself wrapped up in the arms of a loved one.

If you own this, I can bet you that you'll be playing it on repeat for days on end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure romance, February 27, 2005

By 

adriana "alisa" (Los Angeles,CA,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: For Lovers (Audio CD)

From the gorgeous piano notes which open up this lilting ballad, and right into the swaying, lightly soaring chorus, this song will make you want to fall in love with somebody.It is romantic and melancholic without being sappy or schmaltzy-due to the tasteful arrangements and muscianship and Pete Doherty's slightly raspy,subtly sex-kittenish vocals.

Doherty pulls you in from the opening line "I'm running away with you, that's all I ever do". If you listen, you will hear the quiet conviction in his voice, and that conviction, coupled with the sheer melodic beauty of the song is enough to make you want to cry. The song has an almost atmospheric, dreamlike quality to it, and its very addictive, so when you hear it, be prepared to listen to it for days.

5.0 out of 5 stars MORE UP THAN DOWN, December 26, 2005

Plenty has been written about Pete and his exploits. Even the other comments here reflect enough of that. If you know his music you already know this is crucial, if you don't you owe it to yourself to see what the fuss is all about. Likely the most important UK artist of the 2000''s. Great stuff
