"Not Given Lightly," Chris Knox (1989)

 

So I'm on a mini-Chris Knox kick. He's special. This might be what you could call Beatlesque, and there will be people who will have a problem with that. Not me. "'Cause it's you that I love/And it's true that I love/It's love not given lightly." Named New Zealand's 13th best song all-time. 

Bonus: And, FWIW, the Beatlesque was no cheap pop move but a longstanding feature of much of Knox's music. From 1980, his punk rock band Toy Love doing "Don't Ask Me":
