So the question of what is "The most romantic song of all time" is an open ended question, ask a hundred people you'll get a hundred different answers.
Whatever clicks with you, is what it is.
For me, there is one song, more than any other, that captures the youthful passion, energy, longing, and romance that I associate with love.
That being... "I'll Melt with You" by the Modern English.
Everything about this song is perfect. It's beautiful, passionate, melodic, powerful, catchy...it's just the perfect song.
I was reading in the comment section of the video, of sitting on the bluffs above the Boardwalk, watching the sunset with that special person.
I remember sitting next her, one winter day, watching the sunset. To my young, raging heart, she was the one. That person I would melt with. It was a pure, young love, uncorrupted by the kinky desires that would torment me later when I opened that pandora's box and discovered them. I just wanted to sit there, lean over, and kiss her. Everything about her shone. Her deep blue eyes, long wavy blonde hair. My dream crush...
...But I didn't. And it wasn't to be. We were both just out of college then. I was a pizza delivery guy, she was a waitress. Both of us working dead end jobs in a dead-end college town that had nothing further to offer us. It was a fun town to be young in. But not so much fun to grow old in, or put down roots, pretending to be a college kid forever. She needed to leave, to find a career, grad school then internship.... And so did I. And I knew this deep down.
So we moved apart, each finding our own way. Like her, I grew up, left the college "beer beer party party" thrasher kid that I was behind, and became a responsible adult with a professional job.
I still think of her some times. Think of that day on the Boardwalk. Last I heard she had a family and was living in Portland. I am glad she found happiness and success.
And I hope that each of us who are single finds that one who they can stop the world and melt with, because even though life isn't always perfect, there are perfect memories we can have that are as beautiful as an amazing song.
So anyway that's all I have, see ya.
