True Confession
Whenever I really like a guy we have had “a song”.
With my ex-husband our song was “I’d Die Without You” by PM Dawn. After a year and eight months since our separation, I am glad to say that I did not die without him. In fact, I feel more alive than ever.
My and Gray’s song is “A Kiss To Build A Dream On” by Louis Armstrong. I like oldies and it’s a classic song. We both knew that we were in love after our first kiss. (The neighborhood was less than thrilled about the power surge, but that’s a different matter.) We actually voted on our song. How much more democratic can you get, I ask?
I think, now looking back, that the songs were somewhat representative of the relationship. With Jason it was the song-of-the-moment kind of thing and he picked it. It was a very clingy kind of relationship with an obsessive type song for the soundtrack. With Gray, it’s a classic song for a relaxed but passionate love affair that is built on honesty and respect.
I have never had an “our song” and I don’t know why that is.
i’ve never had one either, but “A Kiss To Build A Dream On” is one of my favourites…i love singing it!! 😀 great choice!! if i had to pick one for my relationship w/David, it would have to be “Til There Was You” by the Beatles…great song…:-) {v}
Hopefully you won’t have to pick another song.
“Two out of three ain’t bad”..la la la not so romantic
😀
Great song btw
Ours is Aerosmith’s, “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”
Funny you mention having a song. The people I didn’t have a song with–well, the relationships were just pointless and didn’t have nice endings, but do any endings end well?
That is SO true (that the song often mirrors the type of relationship).
Great blog! 😉
The Duchess
Before I declare what “our” song is (not “our” as in you and I, Swirling, but “our” as in my wife and I), I’d like to say one thing first:
Ain’t no relationship ever gonna ruin a song for me. Ever.
OK. I feel better.
The Herbie & Wife song is “The Water is Wide” by Karla Bonoff. A slow, beautiful, yet slightly depressing song… but we love it.
My ex-girlfriend and my song was “(I Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection” by Nelson. Just because our relationship ended rather nastily doesn’t keep me from laughing every single f#&kin’ time I hear this song…
