What’s the first song that comes to mind when you think about love songs? Do you have a favorite? Do you and your significant other have your own song?
Studly Doright isn’t much of a music person, so any romanticizing of a song for the two of us has always fallen to me. In the early days of our marriage, Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band was “our” song. It was a playful look at sex, and Studly liked that, but it didn’t really focus on love.
During the 80’s I gravitated towards Stuck With You by Huey Lewis and the News. Still not a terribly romantic song, but it seemed to fit what we were going through as a young couple with two young children. Stuck, but happy.
Aerosmith’s I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing came along in the 90’s, and I couldn’t stop singing it (badly). That’s how I felt about our relationship. No matter what we’d gone through, and we’d gone through plenty, I still didn’t want to miss the stuff to come.
I could name dozens of other love songs that meant something to me: Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney, This Kiss by Faith Hill, Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You, I’ll Make Love to You by Boyz 2 Men and on and on. If I had to pick just one song to choose as “ours,” though, it’d likely be this one by Vince Gill.
Look at Us
Yes, it’s sappy, but it fits. Maybe I should tell Studly it’s our song. He’s still fond of Afternoon Delight, though. Some things never change.
Peace, people.

The husband knows one song: happy birthday. Not all that romantic, but it’s timeless.

My Hubby and I definitely have a song (or two). I sing one to him (quite horribly, I might add) every time we hear it and it is the song we danced to at our wedding. The other, if it comes on and we are at home, we torture the kids with our silly dancing because you can’t NOT dance to it. I’m very much a music person. Hubby can take it or leave it, but he loves to play along because he knows I love it so much.

My partner and I don’t really have a “our song. The closest that we get to it. Is that we both really love Ed Sheeran’s “I see Fire” from “The Hobbit” films.
