"Your song"

[JulieShul]

My boyfriend of 18 months and I realized today that we don't really have a song to call our own...and I love the idea of having one song that will forever remind me of this time in my life...we have a bunch that remind us of different moments...but nothing sweet and romantic that we can dance to.

what are your songs with current significant others/past significant others???

"The Nearness of You" - Norah Jones

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

That hurts to think about... I'm leaving my girl soon :cry:

"True Companion" Mark Cohn...will be our first dance at our wedding... :love:

[pearlofgaia]

My fiance and I don't have an 'our song' rally, I guess, not officially... in the 71/2 years of dating, I think the closost ones were "Cherish you" by 98 Degrees and "I don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith

[Walter]

My Parent's song is Huey Lewis, "Stuck With You." :lol:

We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
Thought about someone else, but neither one could debate
Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, it's true, I'm happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, I'm happy to be stuck with you
Because I can see that you're happy to be stuck with me

We've had our doubts, but we never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs, but that's the way it's supposed to be
Thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
And it's no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me

Mine and my boyfriends song is Oasis's Morning Glory. It wasn't exactly a chosen song because it meant anything at the time, he just sung it so much the first few times we were together it just stuck! He asked me the other day if that should offically be it and I was like 'I don't think we have a choice!'.

[Bobsy]

For my bf and I it's New Model Army - Green and Grey. It's not a love song, at all, but it's been the soundtrack to some special moments and seems to fit. :) We always get all cuddly when it comes on.

[zoebird]

we don't have a song and we don't really care. :)

[DeeDee2012]

I've never really had a "song" with any of the people I've been with. I guess I just don't see it as a signifigant thing. Not to mention I'm glad because that would have ruined them for me after we broke up. hehe.

U2 - Bad
If you twist and turn away.
It you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.

If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.

To let it go and so to find away.
To let it go and so find away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake, wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.

If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go.

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.

"Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" - Bryan Adams :smitten:

[clusswoman]

Our song is Firehouse, Love of a Lifetime (We danced to it as our first dance as husband and wife--sooo romantic. )

LOVE OF A LIFETIME
Firehouse


I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true
With love that we can share

With you I never wonder - Will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - You're the right one for me

Chorus:
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) We know that we will be together
Because our love is strong

Chorus

[*Star*Lass*]

Our song is Green Eyes by Coldplay, we will dance to it at our wedding :love:

[catgirl67]

I've never had a "song" :no: I feel deprived now.

[thebelovedtree]

if I had my choice it would be Indigo girls- Power of Two, I want wedding invitations that say "the closer I am bound in love to you, the closer I am to free"

His vote is Zwan- Honestly, which I'm fine with, so thats it.

[vladthedog]

w/ my most recent ex, "our" song was Queen's "You're My Best Friend"

Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the best friend
That I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
(ooh) oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live

Ooh, I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you, to help me forgive - oo oo ooh
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the thing
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend

Oh, ooh, you make me live

I'm happy (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Oh, oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Oo oo ooh
You, you're my best friend

-----------------------

For my ex b4 that, it was "Happy Together" (originally by the turtles, but "our" version was by the Blue Meanies):


Imagine me and you I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life

[*AHIMSA*]

I once had a love when I was younger...our song was two we put together:

Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor" and " Indian Summer" by the Doors

"Indian Summer"

I love you
the best
Better than all
the rest
I love you
the best
Better than all
the rest
That I meet in the Summer
Indian Summer...

my bf and i claim "the fields of athenry." it's an irish song that i've known for a long time, plus the dropkick murphys, one of our mutual favorite bands, have an awesome cover of it. it's a sad song but one day we were sitting in the park and i started singing it to him, and it's been "ours" ever since.

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

[Chorus:]
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

a little off topic...but my song is Afroman, "because I got high".

[Scorpius]

FB: :lol:

[*AHIMSA*]

Former Baboon, your avatar and the posts that compliment them make you like one smooth Marcia Brady!

[*AHIMSA*]

Vaproizer, anyone? :sunny:
It's always turned on, just for YOU! :)

Awesome choice!

[IamJen]

Well, my current imaginary boyfriend and I have yet to choose a song :D, but I did have one with some old loves:

At Last, by Etta James - one of the most romantic songs ever put to paper, in my opinion

Power of Love, another Huey Lewis song - from the movie my HS man and I saw on our first date.

[IamJen]

Also wanted to say that while these are all fantastic suggestions, I think what makes a song special for a couple is that it has some meaning for *them* in particular. The song of choice for one of my old flames and I was "Copperline" by James Taylor. The song in and of itself doesn't say much about romantic love, but it had meaning for us.
