So if you aren’t one of my friends or family reading this and you don’t follow my every move on social media, then this may be news to you. I just got engaged to my boyfriend of almost two years and we will be getting married on New Year’s Eve of this year. In light of this recent announcement I figured I would do a song breakdown on the song we agreed to be “our song.”
The Song:
Video by Salvatore Conte
The Meaning:
I think it’s really quite easy to pick up on the song’s meaning here. Basically girl falls in love with boy and now her life seems more vibrant and whole. There is a lot of great imagery in this song to help illustrate the meaning here. I feel like the most key line in this song is right at the beginning “I think the universe is on my side. Heaven and Earth have finally aligned.” To me this is about a relationship that just somehow clicks in a way only something greater than us can understand.
My Thoughts:
I fell in love with this song after a few listens of this album in my car. I thought about what a great song it would be for a wedding; somehow my now-fiancé agreed. While I feel like the lyrics do only illustrate the positive side of a good relationship, it doesn’t really bother me. I mean, A) who wants to listen to a song about how rough love can be at a wedding and B) when you’re in a relationship that just feels right, no argument, no matter the magnitude, can take that away.

“You and the Moon and Neptune got it right…”
I’ll be the first to admit that my relationship with Aaron has been a long and crazy one. Two years ago I would have never thought I’d be planning to marry him. Two years ago I wouldn’t have thought I’d ever be in love with him like I am now. He had to work pretty hard to get me to see that what we had was something that just clicked and that it couldn’t be ignored. I don’t think I could imagine my life without him and I don’t think I’d want another crazy partner in crime to share my life with.
