Isn’t it strange what some people will find romantic is the same thing that will turn another completely off???  I also think that it is strange that some things will turn you on, make you happy, or make you curious, and you have no idea why.  For example, I absolutely love the song by Matt Nathanson:

I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water if I can tell you what’s next
Make you believe, make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violence, sweet
Perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water, if i could tell you what’s next,
make you believe, make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the pull of your heart
I can taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on love
Sing shalala love
Sing shalala love

Come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love

It’s all wrong
It’s all wrong
It’s all right
So, come on, get higher
Come on, get higher
‘Cause everything works
Everything works in your arms

I’m not exactly sure why I love this song so much, but I find it one of the most romantic things ever.  I think that part of it has to do with the melody as well as the lyrics themselves.  I don’t think that this song would be quite so powerful if it was not done with the melody and instrumentals that accompanies the lyrics.  I find the song almost hypnotizing.  It seems to have a deep meaning, something that my mind can’t even comprehend.  It’s amazing how some things can do that to you.  If you’ve ever been in love or been touched this way by something than you might know what I’m talking about.  Love is another one of those things that you can just feel…you can’t think about it because your mind doesn’t always comprehend the depth of the feeling….

Certain things just touch your soul and you have no idea why.  It can be anything from the look in someone’s eyes to a butterfly, or a painting or song…a poem…a sunset…anything.  And it’s going to be different for everyone.  Some people feel that way when they see a new electronic toy, or a new video game, or a car….it all depends on the individual.  At any rate I hope that we as a society never lose that, no matter what does it for you.  As long as we have souls that can be reached some how, we will be ok.
