NCEPr: Song lyrics that make you think of your SO

[picksthemusic]

Thinking on how Sheldon (from BBT) realized he loved Amy through a Beach Boys song, what song reminds you of your SO? It doesn't have to be your wedding song, just whatever song reminds you of your relationship.

This is the song that DH says is his song about me:

Malaguena Salerosa by Chignon (Kill Bill Vol. 2 Soundtrack):

Que bonitos ojos tienes

Debajo de esas dos cejas,

Debajo de esas dos cejas,

Que bonitos ojos tienes!



Ellos me quieren mirar,

Pero si tu no los dejas,

Pero si tu no los dejas

Ni siquiera parpadear.



Malagueña salerosa,

Besar tus labios quisiera,

Besar tus labios quisiera,

Malagueña salerosa.



Y decirte nina hermosa

Eres linda y hechicera,

Eres linda y hechicera,

Como el candor de una rosa.



Si por pobre me desprecias

Yo te concedo razon,

Yo te concedo razon,

Si por pobre me desprecias.



Yo no te ofrezco riquezas

Te ofrezco mi corazon,

Te ofrezco mi corazon

A cambio de mi pobreza.



English Translation:

What pretty eyes you have,

Under those two eyebrows

Underneath those two eyebrows,

What pretty eyes you have!



They want me to look

But if you do not leave,

but if you do not leave

not even blink.



Malaga salerosa,

kiss your wanted lips,

kiss your wanted lips,

leaves of Málaga.



And beautiful girl tell

you pretty and magical,

are pretty and magical,

As the innocence of a rose.



If you despise me for being poor

I'll give you reason,

I grant you reason,

If you despise me for being poor.



I do not offer riches

I offer you my heart,

I offer my heart

A change of my poverty.

Leaving on a Jetplane-I actually teared up right now because it is so appropriate for us
All i Want for Christmas is You

[Kattey]

Bryan Adams (not Ryan, lol) "(Everything I Do) I Do it for You" was our wedding song. It so fits us. We just went through some tough stuff so the lyrics from "Gravity" Papa Roach ft. Maria Brink hits home lately.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

I think I've put this here before, but Pink's True Love.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

I'm not sure where I've put this but I know I've mentioned it, the song Manchester by Kishi Bashi makes me think of SO, particularly the end chorus -

Oh hello,
will you be mine?
i haven't felt this alive in a long time
all the streets are warm today
I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
the sun is up the sun will stay
all for the new day
Will you be mine?
the days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme
all the streets are warm today
I read the signs
I haven't been in this love in a long time.
It's been a long time

[StrawberryBlondie]

TLC's No Scrubs.

Not the lyrics. Just the song itself.

[sparkythelawyer]

It will sound silly perhaps, but "The Fighter" by Gym Class Heroes. Reminds me of everything he's fought through to get where he is and how hard he keeps trying even when the universe hands him curveballs.

[oscarnerdjulief]

There's probably a lot of songs, but I remember listening to "Suddenly" by Billy Ocean in my room at home and realizing I was in love with him.

"Through the Years" is another song that has some connection.

"I'll Be There for You" by Bon Jovi is our song from middle school, and when I heard it when he was on the operating table during his heart transplant I knew that everything was going to be ok.

(also the Rocky theme because he loves those movies)

I just asked DH this, and he had totally different songs. "I Remember You" by Skid Row and "When I'm With You" by Sheriff)

[bimbi284]

Ben Folds the Luckiest.

He arranged a solo piano version of it and recorded himself playing it, and surprised me on our wedding day. The original version was what we had chosen for our first dance, so when I heard just the piano version I was so surprised and then someone cut lots of onions.

[humpty]

This year has been a tough year for us but we are in a good place now. These lyrics make me think of what he's expressed to me after we went through a shit time.

Here to Mars by Coheed and Cambria

Hey, stranger
Been a long while since I've loved you or anything
How the times have changed
Distorted, a figure set in trend, emotionless
And the words lose all their means
(Goodbye, lost and long forgotten)
Discouraged might be the term you choose when you look
Looking for an excuse
My company has gone mute
Since listening isn't my strongest suit
I'm leaving you with this here, okay?
Over and out there

Honey, it's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my universe

Understood, give me a second chance
I know I could be your better half

It's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my universe

Pardon me, I think I'm going
Out of my head and into the worst
A world without your verse
A world without you hurts
Please, I'm sorry
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
I will never let you go

It's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my burning star
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I, every word I mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clean
'Cause there's no one like you on Earth
That can be my universe

There are many, but the one that sticks out the most for me is "Everything has Changed" by Taylor Swift. It was popular when we first met and it was pretty perfect for how I felt about him (feel about him?). Particularly the "all I feel in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind, making up for lost time". But really, everything DID change when he came into my life and I was able to "dust off all my highest hopes"

Ya it sums my hubs and i up perfectly.

Shockingly, A Song For You. I love him in a place where there's no space or time .

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life on stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love, withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
Cuz my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you

[pescalita]

Stand by Me was our wedding song.

My more modern choice is Thinking Out Loud. We were married at 23.

[redheadbaker]

John Legend, "All of Me"

[terpsfan]

Leaving on a jet plane -- on mix tape I made for (DH) then BF for my semester abroad (fall 1998)

Lit - my own worst enemy - DH in college

Van Morrison -Moondance - our wedding song

DMB- Crash into Me - college dating

Yup college sweethearts 95-99 :-p

Edit- current day-- last summer our jam was SOB by Nathaniel Rateliffe and the Night Sweats cause with 2 kids.. Gimme a drink.

[EllieArroway]

Not always the lyrics, but these songs remind me of him/special moments in our relationship:

Michael Buble - Everything
Israel Kamasomethingidk - Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Plain White T's - Hey Delilah
Velvet Revolver - Fall to Pieces
Anything Dave Matthews Band

[froggy76]

Let's hear it for the boy (from Flashdance). I don't tell him it makes me think of him though because it seems a little insulting.

[mbcdefg]

He really likes "Everybody's Better" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and it makes me think of him. I had a lyric engraved in his wedding ring.

The song talks about how you don't need a bunch of material possessions to be a great person. MH jokes about the "black cloud" that hangs over him and his parents (both deceased) and he's been dealt a crappy hand at times but he's still a loving, classy person who works hard.

"And never mind the green grass you won't mow, or what it is you have or don't to show, or what it is you can or can't afford ... the good are good without reward."

[raangoli]

sfy I love that song!

[raangoli]

Mine is "You and I" (which was also our wedding song)

Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true
I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

Ok, so yeah, wedding songs are easy. What REALLY reminds you of your SO? I feel like people are cheating.

For mine - Lucky Man by The Verve

Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Well, I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness
Something in my own place
I'm standing naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand
I hope you understand

Gotta love that'll never die

Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my

Gotta love that'll never die
Gotta love that'll never die
No, no
I'm a lucky man

It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my

This is dh's for me (I asked):

youtu.be/svyLMR7yjhU

[taratru]

I am ALL about lyrics, so there are many many songs.  Here are a few excerpts. 

Overjoyed by matchbox twenty:

The smile on your face like summer
The way that your hand keeps touching mine
Let me be the one that make it right
And maybe
Maybe let me hold you baby
Let me come over
I will tell you secrets nobody knows
I cannot overstate it
I will be overjoyed
And if you want, we'll share this life
Anytime you need a friend I'm gonna be by your side
When nobody understands you
Well, I do

Faith by Celine Dion (shaddup)

If I am crazy, just don't care

It doesn't mean I don't want you near,

This is the story about me and you

And it's called...



Faith!

Right beside you is where I'll stay

Oh faith !

Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!



So many times and so many ways

I didn't know just where to go,

You gave me a sign and opened my eyes

That's the reason why I know



That you are different, you're still here

I guess you figured me out right there
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called 


Now Comes the Night by Rob Thomas (our first dance song)


And when the hour is upon us and our beauty surely gone

No, you will not be forgotten and you will not be alone

No, you will not be alone



And when the day has all but ended and our echo starts to fade

No, you will not be alone then and you will not be afraid

No, you will not be afraid



And when the fog has finally lifted from my cold and tired brow

No, I will not leave you crying, no, I will not let you down

No, I will not let you down and I will not let you down



Now comes the night, feel it fading away

And the soul underneath, is it all that remains?

So just slide over here, leave your fear in the fray
(this will be my next tattoo)

Let us hold to each other until the end of our days

[StrawberryBlondie]

I think the other one that reminds me most of him is Careless Whisper. Not sure if that's George Michael solo or Wham.

ETA: also Tommy K by the Saw Doctors.

Eve 6 "Here's to the Night"

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Don't let me let you go

[sushi]

La vie en rose. He went was listening to Louis Armstrong when I stopped by his dorm room, and he just spontaneously grabbed me for a dance. We weren't dating. I was crushing.

And then dance me to the end of love. I got that Cd right when I knew I was in love with him. And then he surprised me with tickets to see her on or way moving to Japan

[bernsteincat]

Billy Joel: Just the Way You Are

Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

------

I fucking love this song. Just because I'm not perfect, he's not perfect, but our life is more exciting this way.
