Love and Music

There are several qualities and characteristics of love that people seek to experience in dating or committed relationships. Some examples are trust, loyalty, friendship, and comfort. I personally would like to be in a relationship with someone that I feel comfortable with and can totally be myself. I do not want to pretend to be someone who I am not just to impress somebody, because then I am giving the wrong impression and changing myself just for another person. I also would want the person to be confident in himself and who he is as a person- I would not want somebody pretending to act a certain way just to impress me.

Many songs display characteristics that people are looking for in relationships or in a spouse. Home by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes is a song about how two people are not truly at home when the other is gone or away. They need each other and are best friends, they complete each other. "Home, let me come home, home is whenever I am with you." Here (in your arms) by Hello Goodbye talks about how two people enjoy all their time together no matter what they are doing, and always enjoy each other's company. The Reason by Hoobastank also displays qualities that are displayed in relationships: "I found out a reason for me, to change who I used to be, a reason to start over new, and the reason it you." The lead singer is basically saying that he wants to change himself, for the better, all because of one other person. Lastly, Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane (NOT Justin Beiber!) talks about when everything is going wrong how it helps to have somebody there by your side, to help make it better. Tears are running, They're all running down your dress, And your friends, baby, They treat you like a guest. Don't you want somebody to love? Don't you need somebody to love? Wouldn't you love somebody to love? You better find somebody to love. 

I am not sure whether I believe in a quest for a soulmate or not, because I think it is too early in life to tell. I usually go with the flow most of the time, and believe that what happens happens. However, I always believe that things happen for a reason so I guess in a way I sort of believe it, but I am not exactly looking. If it is meant to happen, then it will happen.
