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):
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.

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
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

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.

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)
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.
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"
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

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
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."
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?

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

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
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

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.
