So I’m reporting back- Always by Atlantic Starr. When I finally found it, I was playing it on my iPad when H walked in- so I asked if he recognized the song. After looking like a deer in headlights he said, uhhhh… Was it from our wedding? Ding ding ding! Good guess going back 28 years!
Tina Turners overplayed song was an “our” song but I cannot remember why. Probably because it was always on when I visited him at his small business. Our 1st dance song was Chicago’s Color my world.
We have three: Blue Clear Sky by George Strait (1st dance), Black Velvet by Alannah Myles, and Trashy Women by Confederate Railroad. 
That song drew many female fans who were otherwise not into Green Day/pop-punk and was overplayed in the latter part of my undergrad years.
Indeed, it was meant sarcastically but most of those “new fans” perceived it as a straight up romantic love song. Incidentally, this was around the period that some of Green Day’s older fanbase felt Green Day’s output took a dive in terms of quality of output with that song being one epitomization of it. Didn’t care, either way personally, but I didn’t regard the album it was on to be one of their best.
Ironically, I used to hate that song as an elementary school kid as the schoolyard bullies and neighborhood racists would use that song to taunt me and the other “foreign-looking” kids in my elementary school/neighborhood. That is…until I was physically assaulted in second grade by a much older larger kid and I retaliated by stoning him really good. Bullying stopped from that point on and coincidentally, “Born In The USA” faded in popularity not too long afterwards.
In a similar vein, “Born In The USA” has been used in many jingoistic, pro-war, and “real murikan” political rallies/protests when the song’s lyrics were actually satirizing and criticizing those very attitudes.
Took over 2 decades before I came to the point of liking the song once I learned the actual lyrics and liking the Boss.
Your Song by Elton John
“And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world”
H says he would like to change this to Starland Vocal Band’s Afternoon Delight. Ha!
John Legend - All of Me
When we got married under a big old tree in the middle of the NY Botanical gardens, we had a flutist playing Bach’s Jesus Joy of Man’s Desiring…not because either of us was particularly religious, just it was a beautiful piece of music (and my son would be cringing to hear someone calling that a song lol).
If I had to come up with a theme for our lives, it would probably be “Isn’t Life Strange” by the Moody Blues, fits well:).
