"Our Song" - Songs that Mark Relationships

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Mon Nov 23, 2009 5:04 pm

It's pretty obvious that a lot of different couples choose songs to mark their relationship, ones that work well for how their relationship feels or how it's going.

I was talking to Misery last night to discuss what song ours could possibly be, and I realized that it's not really an easy decision to make. Like he said, "Songs are static, but relationships change." However, I see absolutely no reason why we couldn't choose a song for our relationship right now as it is and change it as our relationship changes and - hopefully - grows.

Misery and I decided that for this point in our relationship, we decided that "Two is Better Than One" by Boys Like Girls, featuring Taylor Swift is our song.

Spoiler:: Lyrics
I remember what you wore on the first day.
You came into my life and I thought,
"Hey, you know, this could be something."
'Cause everything you do and words you say,
You know that it all takes my breath away,
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you,
And maybe two is better than one.
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life,
And you've already got me coming undone,
And I'm thinking two is better than one.

I remember every look upon your face,
The way you roll your eyes,
The way you taste.
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away,
I think of you and everything's okay.
I'm finally now believing,

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you,
And maybe two is better than one.
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life,
And you've already got me coming undone,
And I'm thinking two is better than one.

I remember what you wore on the first day.
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you.
Maybe two is better than one.
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life,
And you've already got me coming undone,
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one.
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life,
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done.
Two is better than one.
Two is better than one.

We aren't the only ones who have a song to mark our relationship! Post the songs that mark your current or past relationships here! It would be awesome if you could provide a YouTube link to that song here - please, do not embed the video - so we can all load it and enjoy it.

If you want, you can even tell us which songs encompass a break-up from your past relationships. After all, break-up songs mark the end of a relationship, and the song of a relationship can change, so it works!

Sweet Sixteen by Kate Earl

We wanted this to be our First Dance song at our wedding...but the DJ somehow lost it... It was the only disappointing thing about the wedding though. It is important to us because we first got together when we were sixteen, and the song itself sort of encompasses everything that was going on throughout our young lives during the early stages of our relationship.

Lyrics:

Spoiler:: Your hands
They remind me of the days
That can't be taken back

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen

Cool river waters
Dancing beneath
Our feet off to sea
Meet me at midnight
Down by the tree

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen

Love me forever
But if you have to go
Say you'll write
Don't send me pictures
I've got you memorized

Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen

Couldn't find a video that wasn't live. And I didn't like the live version...

Good gracious, this certainly is a very hard thing to think about. Truly, I'm a very musical personality. Now, let's not go and get that confused with the idea that I have any discernible musical abilities other than the singing that God has so graciously given to my mother's side of the family. In all honesty, it's been terribly hard to come up with one specific song for my relationship with Lindsey. Best I've come up with so far has been [THIS].

Spoiler:: Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall wit yo friend
I was scared to approach ya
But then you came closer
Hopin´ you would give me a chance

Who would have ever knew
That we would ever be more than friends
We´re real worldwide breakin all the rules
She like a song played again and again

That girl like somethin off a poster
That girl is a dime they say
That girl is a gun to my holster
She´s runnin through my mind all day ay

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

See you been all around the globe
Not once did you leave my mind
We talk on the phone from night til the morn
Girl you really change my life
Doin things I never do
I´m in the kitchen cookin things she likes

We´re real worldwide breakin all the rules
Someday I wanna make you my wife
That girl like somethin off a poster
That girl is a dime they say
That girl is the gun to my holster
She´s runnin through my mind all day ay

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

I can be your melody
Oh, girl I could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let´s sing with me
Ay I can be your melody
Oh, girl I could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let´s sing with me

Ay na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Shawty got me singin
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Now she got me singin

Shawty´s like a melody in my head
That I can´t keep out
Got me singin´ like
Na na na na everyday
It´s like my iPod stuck on replay replay-ay-ay-ay (2x)

Also, I've got one to add. This isn't really for LOVE, per se, but rather for love LOST. Everyone needs that one song that helps them get out of that depression, and [THIS] is mine. Lyrics run with the video.

It is impossible to ever pick a single song for such things, for anything really. There are, however, several songs that make me think of someone that I lost due to my own idiocy of not recognizing things soon enough. Can barely handle seeing a picture of her or anything with breaking down, as weak as that sounds… anyway here are a few of those:

Nightwish – Ever Dream:

Sentenced – Sun Won’t Shine (Live Video because his voice is better here than on the album version, more melancholy and less rocky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFzX4aUD0kY

Edguy – Forever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRnAo0j6UmM

Sonata Arctica – My Selene:

There are a lot of songs/relationships I'd like to forget, but I'm still willing to admit to 'becoming a real man' with "Manic Depression" by Jimi Hendrix playing on the radio; I think I had a CD in on random, something she picked out. Not that I minded, I love Hendrix.

Of course, she turned out to be a compulsive liar and so forth, but that's kind of secondary to the point.

Spoiler:: Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over, mama
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene

Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Actually the truth is that with my husband and I, we don't really have problems finding our song. Or we didn't. There are only two songs that have ever just stuck with us and they couldn't be at more opposite ends of the genre spectrum. The first one is "Dear God" by Avenged Sevenfold and then the second is "Forever And Ever, Amen" by Randy Travis. "Dear God" stands for how he's always away from me due to the Navy and "Forever And Ever, Amen" is meaningful because well with him always gone I can't help but wondering 'oh when is he going to leave me.' I belittle myself a lot in real life and I keep thinking that eventually he's going to leave me for someone better, someone prettier or smarter. It just never really made sense for him to love me and yet he does. Everyday he loves me. But anyway here are the lyrics and links to the songs if you want to hear them.

"Dear God"

Spoiler:: "Dear God" by Avenged Sevenfold

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Hope is hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
And where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around,
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
Hope is hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around,
When I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

"Forever And Ever, Amen"

Spoiler:: "Forever And Ever, Amen" By Randy Travis

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that i feel for you always will be
But your not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as i live, this love that i give
Is gonna be yours until the day that i die

(Chorus)
Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit&talk about the weather
As long as old women sit&talk about old men
If you wonder how long ill be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes a young girls brown hair turn gray
Honey i don't care i ain't in love with your hair
N if it all fell out well I'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well it's easy to see it's happenin to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you

(Chorus)
Oh darlin I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit&talk about the weather
As long as old women sit&talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

We never actually took the time to choose a song, as it wasn't such a big deal to us. Non the less, there is one which we both practically worship, and that is tear you apart. A song just as dirty as we are! Razz

Long intro, and some swears.

The everman.

The Cure - Lovesong.

Almost cliche, but I'll be damned if that isn't the perfect song for every serious relationship I've ever been caught up in.

by Squall Reyes on Fri Dec 25, 2009 10:54 pm

My wife and I have several songs that we consider "our songs." But there is two in particular that I will post. The first one is this one. Passenger Seat by Death Cab for Cutie.

Spoiler:: I roll the window down
and then begin to breathe in
the darkest country road
and the strong scent of evergreen
from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"do they collide?"
I ask and you smile.
with my feet on the dash
the world doesn't matter.

when you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
when you need directions then I'll be the guide
for all time.
for all time.

The reason this one has a special place in our hearts is rather simple. We love driving/traveling/just planing moving around. I can't tell you how many time we grew bored at 1 o'clock in the morning and decided to just drive and drive. Often finding ourselves in some small town or in one of the many large forest surrounding the Seattle area. Added to the fact that after learning this song and playing it for her on the piano on our first year anniversary. Yes this song has special place in our hearts.

The second is, Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden.

Spoiler:: I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.

Chorus
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...

And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of..
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...
Bridge

Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
Chorus

While this band or even the song is not my particular cup of tea. She loves it, she loves the meaning of it, and who am I to deny her any of that. Very Happy

Plus this will be our song played at the larger wedding for the family. (As I mentioned before they guilted us into it. XD ) Quite frankly I don't care what we dance to that day, long as she remembers it for the rest of her life.

Okay, feel completely free to make fun of me endlessly for this one, but for one particular relationship I was in the song was "Thunder" by Boys Like Girls, I can't listen to the song now, to say the least >.>
