One of the most heartbreaking, but nevertheless heartwarming, scenes in the history of romantic comedy is the “dance scene” in the blockbuster hit “My Best Friend's Wedding.” In this scene, the two former lovers are dancing while the guy is singing their song when they were still together, “The Way You Look Tonight.” The song is one of the key elements in that scene that makes it incredibly moving and effective. That song reminds the characters of their romantic past.
They say that every couple should have a song. This song, they say, should embody all the emotions that the couple feel towards each other. It's like the “theme song” of the relationship. Wherever they go, whatever they do, this song should make them feel good and remind them of the great thing called love.
In many cultures, a couple's song should be the one playing when they got together. This means that when the two finally declared their devotion to each other, the one playing on the background is their song. However, this tradition doesn't work well for some couples especially those who confessed their love in front of the TV, which was currently showing a dishwashing liquid commercial. Imagine having a detergent ad's jingle being your theme song.
The truth is, you don't need to follow what society dictates in choosing the song that represents your love. What matters is that the song expresses exactly how you feel towards each other. With the countless love songs out there, it is impossible that there isn't anything that would appeal to your taste. Another important thing to consider is that both of you must like it. You don't want your partner cringing whenever you hear your song.
However, the perfect song for a relationship is original. Meaning, the song should be composed and written by one of you, if not both of you. This makes your song more personal and more touching.
Love is an incredibly overwhelming emotion. The best way to express it is through a song. Having a song is an excellent way of showing that your partner is a great and important part of your life. In this day and age of confusion, a song can be a constant reminder of how you truly feel. It is eternal. Even when the relationship is over, hearing your song can suddenly bombard you with good memories.
