[edit]- I Want You (Bob Dylan song)
Also covered by Cher (1966), Sophie B. Hawkins (1992), James Blunt (2005), and other artists.
- I Want You (Cheap Trick song)
Don't be confused with "I Want You to Want Me" by same artist.
- I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney), the song is an unusual Beatles composition for a variety of reasons, namely its length (nearly eight minutes), few lyrics (the title makes up most of the lyrics, aside from two more phrases; only 14 different words are sung), a three-minute descent through repeated guitar chords, and abrupt ending. It is one of the last songs that The Beatles mixed as a group, on 20 August 1969. The song is a birth of doom metal before Black Sabbath from their debut album Black Sabbath in 1970. The term "heavy metal" previously using on Steppenwolf's song "Born to Be Wild" from their album Steppenwolf in 1968.
- I Want You to Want Me
Originally from the album In Color, the band later re-recorded the song live from the album Cheap Trick at Budokan in 1979. This version is faster than original album version. Also covered by Lindsay Lohan (2005), Chris Isaak (2006), and other artists. Don't be confused with "I Want You" (Cheap Trick song).
- In My Dreams (REO Speedwagon song)
Inspirational lyrics with arena rock sound.
- Is This Love (Whitesnake song)
