Songs That Speak of Romance
Someone asked this question at Romancedivas.com and I think it’s an excellent one. Especially with valentine’s day coming up any second. I’d like to have you guys share yours as well.
I am a little funny about what’s romantic. To me wine and roses, not all that romantic. It’s the real life stuff that makes a great relationship. So a lot of the songs I find romantic are probably not going to be the same as the ones on your lists.
The Man in Love With You by George Strait. Wonderful. Just lovely. He owns up to the fact he isn’t capable of moving mountains for her or working magic but he is the man in love with her. How could we ever ask for more?
As a general rule I actually don’t listen to much country but some of the most romantic songs I can think of are actually country. Like this one by Dierks Bentley. Long Trip Alone. Life is long and hard to trek alone. How about together. This video is odd but the sentiment remains lovely.
And for my last country song for the moment. This song was my wedding song. My husband chose it and I love it. I think it was a wonderful choice for two people who love each other in that real life way. Home to You by John Michael Montgomery.
In the non-country realm there’s tons of songs I think are very romantic. One is the song by Lifehouse called Hanging by a Moment. I love that song. He says, “I’m falling even more in love with you, letting go of all I’ve held on to. I’m standing here until you make me move.” I love that. Just love it. I’m standing here as long as you let me. That’s how deeply I am in your life. Awesome.
I also love The Calling’s Wherever You Will Go. Same thing. I’ll follow you where ever you go. What could be more romantic than that?
Snow Patrol’s Chasing Car’s is another one. There’s something so poignant about the line, “If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?” I love that so much. “All that I am and all that I ever was is here in your perfect eyes. They’re all I can see.” Sigh.
Of course this isn’t remotely the whole of my list. But it’s a teaser. What are some of the songs on your list?
