When do couples establish a song?

I know this is a weird question, but couples always talk about ';their song.'; The song I consider to be mine and my ex-boyfriend's was a song he sang to me after we made up from a fight. Now, I'm in a new relationship (after two years of being single) and I'm curious to know when/how most couples choose a song. Insight and/or personal examples are appreciated.When do couples establish a song?
With one boyfriend I had, it was the first slow song we danced to at a club.


With my husband, we have been married for 20 years, and do you know we don't have one? Terrible! I know! He is not as sentimental as I am. I would think it was our bridal dance song, but I don't even think he remembers what it was!!! Oh how sad is that? (sigh) But he is a great husband, and father and we love each other so much, I guess its not a big deal.


If you really would like one though, it could be a love song that both of you really like, and you could say, ';this could be our song!'; just to hint at it. Or for a little gift, you could find a song, and put it on a cd, and give it to him, and write a little note, and say I think this should be our song, because it reminds me of Us and how happy you make me'; or something like that. Oh, does that sound sappy? HA! I am sappy I guess. I guess it could be what you end up picking for your wedding dance.


Good luck!When do couples establish a song?
I believe that's up to the couple. My ex and I went out for two months but never had a song. My boyfriend and I had liked each other for a while, but remained friends since he was going out with another girl. He showed me the song ';Your Guardian Angel'; by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, which I came to love. I recommend it to anyone who likes soft rock. But about a week into our relationship, a few people started asking us what our song was. So he thought of three songs, which were: ';I'm Yours'; by Jason Mraz because we would always listen to it together, ';Canon in D'; by Pachelbel because he would always play it for me when I was down (he plays guitar), and ';Your Guardian Angel'; because it described us pretty well, since we constantly look out for one another. He asked me to choose. I decided that I wanted to be able to sing it with him, and Canon doesn't have any words, so that was out. I'm Yours is too overused and can be awkward at a few parts, so I didn't choose that. I went with Your Guardian Angel, and that's been our song ever since.
The best way to establish a song is by letting it happen naturally.


For example, me and my man established our song because we both like it, and find ourselves singing it together when driving it in the car. It's an unusual song for a couple but ours is ';Out of This Club'; by Pussycat Dolls. We didn't necessarily set out to pick a song for us-but after noticing that we both sing to it all the time in the car, it seemed perfect for the two of us.


I know a lot of people like to establish a song based on what song a restaurant plays when they go on their first date, or what song was playing on the radio when they had their first kiss, or if they share a favorite song...etc.


Don't force it, don't go looking on iTunes for a song for the two of you-it really defeats the purpose. Just let it happen naturally.


Good question by the way!
It's a song that has something special that connects you two. My ex (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090222194450AAhQXJ2 ) and it's CHeck Yes or No by George Strait. His grandfather died about a year ago. The day he died, I didn't know he died until later that day, I stuck a note in his locker with the lyrics on it because they were stuck on my head from him and I rocking out (as best you can) to it earlier that morning. So now whenever that song comes on, we kinda grin at each other and enjoy it.


Then we sang the song ';Amazed'; by Lonestar together and that's our other song. One that I reserve for him... If you get a chance, please feel free to drop your link on my Q but give me some advice, what do you think?
it really depends. If there was a song playing when the guy first asks a girl out, then that could turn into their song. THats how it was with me and my girl.


It really depends though. Not all couples have a song, and it is not necessary at all, but its sometimes nice lol.


Its just a song that reminds you of your lover everytime you hear it.











good luck!
Me and my boyfriend have a song... we got it because after we broke up, he told me he was listening to this song and it really reminded him of me and it made him tear up. (its come on get higher by matt nathanson. amazing song!) So i listened to it and it did the same thing to me. After that we both realized we needed each other and we got back together... It was so sweet...
My boyfriend and I don't have one and we've been together for two years. He always says ';they're playing our song!'; whenever we go out and there's music playing. So now it's just a joke and we have no song.
Most couples I know don't have songs...usually pick a song for your wedding.





I guess when you find one that means something to both of you
Me and my bf had our song after a couple dates when they played ';Brown Eyed Girl'; and started singing along because it reminded him of me...:)
when you both have one song stuck in your head for no reason at all... and you both heard it when you were out....THATS YOUR SONG its not a time frame when u establish one... it just happens
well me and my girl friend picked a because of experiences... her dad wouldn't ler her see me so our song was love story by taylor swift
i think its b/c the song explains there relationship or b/c it has a meanin about there relationship to it
u kinda just let it happen like when something happens that has to do with a song
when you here a song that reminds you of ur significant other
when both of u like that song duhh
if me and my boyfriend are talking on the phone and just talking abot music or something, then we'll say '; ohh i know these lyrics'; and just start yelling them into the phone :)) good times..
i agree with peuhh not till im married or till i like someone enough to remmber the damn tune.
NEVER!
when choosing the first dance at the wedding reception anything else is superficial
PUH.


Not until i get married.
that sounds gay
