We don't have a song, but Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" is the one I associate most with my SO when I hear it.

The Strokes' "The Modern Age". That's one of the coolest songs ever. You feel like you're going through space with famous Elvis, early Ramones and snarky Velvet Underground. It ends much too soon.

I'm swinging single right now. I've never done that "our song" thing before. Not in any official agreed upon capacity anyway...

I don't have an S.O. and when I did we didn't have a song.

Dominic and I have several songs. They all have their own special meaning to us. When we hear them we always think about special moments in our relationship.

Because You Loved Me
Only God Knows Why
Ain't Going Down (Til The Sun Comes Up)

There are several others, but these are the only ones I'll reveal.

I agree! When he sings it, it gives you the impression that he is actually singing it to someone he deeply loves.

tonight, 'a million miles behind the door' from the 'paint your wagon' soundtrack came to mind in a mutual conversation.
Van Morrison's 'moondance' and cat stevens 'wild world' always come to mind when this question is asked. Probably tons of others are more relevant, but they don't come to mind. I just recognize them as my song when they reappear.
It depends on what part of my being. My awakening theme was modern english's 'I'll stop the world and melt with you.' If I get gloomy about society, it's 'the sounds of silence'.

"Love Changes Everything", written for an Andrew Lloyd Weber theatrical production - might have even been 'Cats'...? The best words come together in that song.
One our first anniversary, I - who had a lot to get over as far as being gay - packed a lunch for ourselves, grabbed the CD player and took my SO back to the very spot we met one year prior. We had met at a charity event at which neither of us had intended to be. It was an outdoor event that day, in the large courtyard of a design center.
On this Sunday of our first anniversary, we sat on a bench and had lunch while I promised him that - for him - I was working everyday on "getting over" my complexes with being gay and with being a gay couple.
Then, I hit PLAY to que the CD, and this song (as intended) sounded from the box, "Love Changes Everything".
Outdoors, in this plaza of sorts, there in front of God and everybody, I had him dance with me. It was strange, I have to admit, but I made it through the entire song dancing with him as people simply passed us by.
Nowadays, anyone who's got a problem with it is no problem for me. Love does change everything, I believe.

My wife and I don't really have a song, but in one of my earlier serious relationships, our song was _Closer_ from NINs _Downward Spiral_ album. That was a -great- relationship  * smile *

I don't have a significant other.
However, the song I feel which is most relevant to my life and so has been adopted as 'my song' is 'Barrel of a Gun' by Depeche Mode.

Well, at least it was probably a passionate relationship with lots of sex! Angst is good for a few things...

I love that song, but I guess it's not really the typical, romantic couple song is it?

Neat. It's funny the way I can't remember how any Cat Stevens songs sound like, but I know I like them; it's like having a crush on the geekiest person in school. The soundtrack of most of my childhood while my dad wasn't in earshot was my mom playing his tapes..."Hard Headed Woman", "Peace Train", "Wild World".

Ours is 'A Question of Lust' by Depeche Mode.
Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that
I'd rather be home

I sent the lyrics of that song to a boyfriend once, and he didn't understand it. I was really disappointed that he didn't get it; he thought it was bad that I thought we had a relationship based on lust, but he misinterpreted it.... ah well...

Woolite's figured out that it's market is the goth black silk niche. I love it. Perhaps life would be better for our smileys if I could have obliviously presumed they'd last forever. As i mentioned before' the difference between pre-cognition and co-creation is nearly symantics.

Wedding songs were "Two Less Lonely People" by Air Supply, and that "Always" song. Obviously, it wasn't MY choice.

Our taste in music is pretty similar. We listen to the same radio stations. However, we never did pick "our song." We've been together over a year but there isn't one particular song that defines us or our relationship. Maybe one day...

Mandy Moore's "I wanna be with you" it was the song that my boyfriend and I shared our first kiss to. It was really romantic but I'll spare the details! ;)
