What song defines your relationship?

As of this upcoming Saturday (May 8, 2021), my wife and I will have been together exactly 29 years.

Our relationship has been defined by music. Of the dozens of bands we’ve latched onto, Jerry Garcia and Keller Williams have dominated our three decades together. Honorable mentions include String Cheese, Dr. John, Carlos Santana, moe., Les Claypool, Dave Grisman, Phish, Indigo Girls, Violent Femmes, etc. among others.

But for the past month, we’ve played this song on a loop. She has coronavirus. We’ve just been hanging out at home waiting for it to pass. I’m trying to stay cool but hearing her cough all night is breaking my heart. Dub FX and Sahida are making it bearable.

 

Dance me to the End of Love, at this stage of life.

 

Dirty Black Summer by Danzig

 

So many songs for different times: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face;" "You Were Always on My Mind;" Unchained Melody;" and now that we are getting old, "When I Grow to Old to Dream."

 

This defines everything

 

When I hear Sylvia's Mother. it brings back memories of a girl. The relationship ended much like the song. I wonder how my life could have changed. And maybe another song; Like, Thank You Sylvia's Mother.

 

I think that this sums up so many relationships.
It was certainly biographical when written by Tchaikovsky, considering that he exchanged thousands of letters with his patron / love of his life who he never met.

 

EDIT:

 

married?

 

No...

No, I'm not

 

Me either. Yet*.

Bloodhound Gang “The Bad Touch”






Kidding

 

Married 19 years. Every time this song comes on we stop whatever we’re doing to dance to it.




But also, this was our wedding song first dance (for real):

 

I'm not sure if it defines our relationship but its certainly our song

 

I luv that song but not sure in this context though lol
