I only care about a song's 'romantic' value when it has some pertinence to my own relationship, and that makes it a powerful experience.
For instance, Air's 'How Does it Make You Feel?' (video here for those interested at all):
Quote:
I am feeling very warm right now
Please, don't disappear
I am spacing out with you
You are the most beautiful entity that Ive ever dreamed of
At night I will protect you in your dreams
I will be your angel
You worry so much about not having enough time together
It makes no difference to me
I would be happy with just one minute in your arms
Let's have an extended play together
You're telling me that we live too far to love each other
But our love can stretch further than the eye can see
So, how does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?...
Do you know when you look at me
It is a salvation?
I've been waiting for you so long
I can drive on that road forever
I wish you could exist to live on my planet
Well, it's very hard for me to say these things in your presence
So, how does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?....
So, how does it make you feel?
[Well, I really think you should quit smoking]
I don't think we do the official 'our song' thing, but when my boyfriend and I listened to this together, he said it should be. The whole thing fits us (except the end line). The song has a lot of creepy pertinence and deep connection with us that I can't explain on here, though.
Aside from that, I've already posted in a thread about Air's
'Biological' (don't tell anyone I
snuck it to you, which is, in my opinion, the hottest damn song ever written:
Quote:
Thousands of hairs
Two eyes, only
It's you
Some skin
Billions of genes
Again, it's you
XX - XY
That's why it's you and me
Your blood is red
It's beautiful genetic love
Biological
I don't know why I feel that way with you
Biological
I need your DNA
Your fingerprints
The flesh around your bones
I'd like to know
Why all these things move me
Let's fuse ourselves to be as one tonight
A part of me would like to travel in your veins
Biological
I don't know why I feel that way with you
Biological
I need your DNA
Just listening to the song is like foreplay, since it jibes so well with how I feel with the one I love. Ugh, it gives me that tickly feeling all over.
All my other romantic songs tend to be instrumental.
