To quote Haley from One Tree Hill, "I believe in true love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe love conquers all..." I love romance. I love the hope that you get when you believe that the romantic, passionate, soulmate love is out there. So, of course, a lot of the music I love leans toward the mushy, lovey-dovey, and fabulous. It should come as no surprise, then, that my favorite song of all-time is "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls.
I'm sure you know about this song. If you don't, you may be living under a rock, or you may just be one of those young people who believe the world was no in existence until they were born. "Iris" is in the movie City of Angels starring Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage. (Do you think I have a Nicolas Cage thing? Hmm. I'm not sure.) Nicolas Cage plays an angel who falls for Meg Ryan's doctor. He give up being an angel to be with Meg Ryan only to...well, I won't give away the ending for you. Let's just say it's definitely a tear jerker, which I love! Towards the end of the movie, Cage is talking to his friend about his relationship with Ryan, and he says, "I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than an eternity without it. One." Swoon! Anyway, The Goo Goo Dolls' song fits this movie perfectly. The lyrics are romantic, the music is beautiful, and it's just perfect.
