What song best describes your relationship?

Broken relationship or happy relationship..
The song that best described the relationship with my ex partner is "what about us" by Pink.
He promised me the world but gave me nothing but heartache. Every time I listen to it, it just summed up everything I felt during that time.
Looking forward to seeing other responses :)

He is/ was an old friend, so started out as 'I can't fight this feeling any more' by REO Speedwagon; morphed into 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' by Snow Patrol; and became 'Feels like home to me' by Linda Ronstadt.

With a bit of 'Thinking' by Rusty Shackle while we walked back down the aisle together.

All songs which I heartily recommend by the way Smile

True Companion

By Marc Cohen

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like that couple on the corner do, 'cause
Girl I will always be in love with you
When I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion

My ex - all you do is criticise Alexander o neil

LittleRa · 15/09/2020 05:31

Two very different songs but:

Into My Arms - Nick Cave is sort of “our song” however, that’s not specifically what you asked and although for some people their song also sums up their relationship, and there are some aspects of this one that do, instead I’m going to go for:

Hey Soul Sister by Train.

The lyrics from it that sum up our relationship include:

The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

And

Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection we can't deny
I'm so obsessed

And

You're the only one I'm dreaming of you see
I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me

Love this thread Smile

Great thread.

Mine is We Walk The Same Line by Everything But The Girl.

Almost 40 years, and it only gets better with time.
