someone should forbid this

and by this i mean the cute lil'habit of dedicating a song to the one we love when that love is just a newborn. you know what i mean, don't you? all relationships have a song, usually a romantic song that instantly makes both lovers leap at each other whenever (and wherever) they hear it. of course, this is something related with love - and, as everything that it's related with love, it eventually backfires. and it backfires exactly when shit hits the fan, or, in other words, when that beautiful love is broken by some reason. and then that song, that beautiful song you so much enjoyed (actually, you liked it so much that you've dedicated it to the one you've fallen in love with) is unbearable to your hears. and that's a shame, because you've probably wasted one hell of a good song.

i tell you, the songs we dedicate to our lovers should be reusable and recyclable. okay, they are, but it might not be the wisest thing to do. i mean, i'm a close friend of my first girlfriend (yeah, i know it defies nature and common sense, but it was a long time ago and she's a nice gal), and imagine i get a new girlfriend (i know it's hard even to imagine, but let's try at least). eventually they get together, and the first says "john was so romantic back then, when we started to date he's dedicated the song wonderwall, by oasis, to me". and the current girlfriend would say "the bastard! he doesn't have any imagination! he dedicated the same song to me!" and then i'd get there and it would be like

*spanks* *bites* *kicks*

okay, i assume that the spanking and the biting parts could be... fun, but in another circumstance.

oh, and yes, i've dedicated the song wonderwall to my first girlfriend. wasn't that romantic? as a matter of fact, i think noel gallagher wrote that bloody song so people from all over the world could dedicate it to their lovers. it's a lovely song. i still like to listen to it, but somehow it feels weird. it brings back too much memories.

so, if one can't re-use or recycle love songs, one should avoid them as hard as one can. better to stay out of trouble, and keep enjoying a very nice sound. or you risk ending up without any decent song on your playlist.
