A good love song can bring on smiles and tears from the best of us. We love hearing that one favorite love song that touches our heart and makes us think of our own first kiss or the last dance with that special someone. The perfect song that describes our feelings and emotions so perfectly will bring us to tears. This romantic music spurs something inside us. It makes us feel emotional, romantic, and happy. After all that's the whole point of a love song isn't it? To make someone feel a certain way.
What it brings out in us is our own secret desire for a happy ending. Everyone, no matter what they say, or how they act, wants to find that happy ending for themselves. The one talked about in love songs since the beginning of time. We want to believe that these songs could really happen. We wish that our own true love story could end up just like that. What we don't think about is the story behind the song. We don't think about the singer or the writer of the song. We don't think about what they feel when they sing the song. What we don't see is the beautiful, touching story behind the song itself. Each one of those songs that touches your heart is a love story that has also touched someone else. That love story that the singer has lived inspired them to write a wonderful love song that will touch even more hearts as long as it continues to play.
Think about your favorite love song. Think about the singer who sings that song or the writer who wrote it. Likely, that love song came from somewhere. That singer witnessed a love story between their parents that inspired them to believe that true love is the most beautiful thing in the world and that the story must be shared. Or maybe they lived that love story with a special someone of their own. Either way the song is a reflection of a truly touching story that could be an inspiration to all of us. This true love story is the foundation of what makes this person who they are and it allows them to connect with millions of other people to make them feel the same way. The reason they are able to connect so well, is because the song they sing, the story they have written, is true.
Every good love song, every piece of romantic music we hear is based on a story that someone heard or someone lived. These songs may appear to you as only a beautiful song but that is not what they are, at least not completely. These songs also represent a beautiful story from someone else's life.
Next time you listen to your favorite love song think about the singer who sings the song or the writer who wrote it. You may hear just the music but that song isn't just a love song. It's a love story that someone, somewhere, lived.
