What do you do when you’re feeling a bit flat? Well, we listen to music. This week I have been going back to the songs from our first tumbling-into-love days and feeling nostalgic.

Mr E is the one to thank for my music education (what there is of it, anyway). Before him I was pretty much ignorant of, well… anything to do with music. I liked it, sure. But I didn’t have strong opinions of what I liked or didn’t like. Mr E was the opposite. In high school his MP3/ iPod/ whatever he had at the time was always firmly glued to his ears. Music is crack to him, and slowly he dragged me over to the dark (and blissful) side as well.

Us, in high school. We’re in one of our favourite listening to music and getting up to mischief spots. (Personal pic)

“Smother Me” by The Used became our first “us” song way back in the early days of our relationship. To me, it symbolizes that moment when we both came to the realization that what we had together was different from just a random high school fling. It was something more, something scary and exciting and more fun than I could have ever imagined.

When I brought up the subject of our first dance the other day, Mr E said “Smother Me” as quick as a flash. And so, it was decided.

Go ahead, have a listen:

I can’t wait to waltz in the grass (preferably with bare feet) with Mr E to this song.

Did picking your first dance song come easily?
