shadowkatDay #26 of the 30 Day Music Meme - a song that makes you want to fall in love.
Hmm. I was going to go with Bruce Springsteen's song "Fire" - then I listened to it, and thought...okay, maybe not. The lyrics of that song are...well..hmmm. See all I remember is the husky voice and the lyric "when we kiss, fire", what I did NOT remember - was "I lean close, you say you don't like it.." or "I'll take you home, but you want to be alone" - that part I did not remember. Ugh. That's the weird bit about songs, for me at any rate - I don't always remember them.
This is kind of a difficult category. Particularly if you are single, and romantic love continues to be a rather painful carrot perpetually out of reach. I've learned over time that romantic love isn't unconditional and kind of painful, it's often judgmental and more about...well not love.
The love of my life isn't romantic. It's a skinny little girl with dark brown eyes, and a pixie voice who loves with her whole heart. I'd die for that little girl. I don't care if she loves me back. I just love her. And lucky for me she does. That's love - unconditional - where it doesn't matter if the other person loves you, gives you presents, or makes you feel good.
You just love them. Just seeing them is enough. Just knowing they are there is enough.
So...with that in mind...it's kind of hard to find a love song. And as you all know by now? My music memory sucks beans. I can't remember many songs.
When I think of love songs that make me want to fall in love again...these are the two that come to mind today at this moment in time (and I'm too lazy to scroll through any more). Make of that what you will.
