What's Your Song?
Yesterday, while I was out and about, OUR song came on. And it reminded me of the story on how it became our song.
Greg and I were already married and we were watching a movie where the couple in love were serenading each other with their song. And I turned to him and asked:
Hey! How come we don't have a song?
It just never occurred to us, but after this catastrophic realization it seemed imperative that we find one. We had to find that quintessential essence of musical dialog that described our wedded bliss.
So we listened to the radio for days afterward. tossing up contenders for the title.
Nada. Zilch. Zippo.
We needed a sappy love song that illustrated our marriage in a four minute warble. And then this song came on.
Typical.
Yes. We're silly people. But it does have Paul McCartney. Look how young he is. Just as young as we were. LOL.
What's your song? How did it come about?
Come on. Dish. If I can admit to the world that Silly Love Songs is our song, you can be brave too.

"El Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (from the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack). And no, we don't understand Spanish! LOL
We have other songs that reflect various parts of our relationship, but this was the one that it all.
That's a great sound! And when I listened to the words, I said, yup, that's Kaz's song. Very defiant. Looking for a freedom fighter song.
Greg and I grew apart on music during the 80s, but we somehow grew back together again by the time we hit the 2000s.
At least they found a really beautiful song for their little girl...
I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks!
