The Perfect Movie Songs To Dedicate To That Special Person

What is a better depiction of love but a movie with a happy ending? A stable love depends on the foundations of a relationship. When there’s no mutual admiration, or the couple doesn’t share the same vision of life and values, it can become an ephemeral emotion. There’s nothing like living an intense love with respect and the possibility of sharing a future together. However, the only way to achieve this is by falling in love with the other person’s essence.

In most of the romantic stories we see in films, the desire of being with the other ends up creating that mutual admiration a couple needs to fulfill their love. For instance, in Say Anything, Loyd becomes a modern Romeo that has to sort out all the social obstacles to be with Diane. Filled with eternal optimism, and pushed by his rebellious soul, this character stands in front of his beloved’s house and dedicates Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes.

Romantic movies show us that no matter what stage of the relationship we are, we must always keep the love alive and create amazing moments. Whether they’re planned or spontaneous. In any case, music can always detonate emotions into our minds and hearts.

If one song is capable of creating the perfect atmosphere for a movie, just think of what music can actually do in real life. To design the soundtrack of your love story, here are some songs from movies that you can dedicate to your partner.

“Perfect Day”
Lou Reed

Played in Trainspotting (1996)

In his own ways, Danny Boyle is a romantic. Trainspotting isn’t a conventional story about love and life. However, Lou Reed’s song playing in the middle of an overdose scene can be interpreted in so many ways. For many intense couples, “Perfect Day” describes the sensations one feels when we have the best day of our lives.
