The ultimate romantic scene I can concoct in my mind, speaking seriously for once, involves the song 'Sear Me MCMXC III' by My Dying Bride. The scene begins on that single, forlorn piano note and I'm sure involves a hell of a lot of black satin bed-clothes, and snow falling in time with the piano line in the soft candle light beyond a lead glass window. Man, this song is awesome. Imagine each violin stroke as a caress, and you'll need to change your trousers after four minutes. Such unbelievably perfect music, and utterly suitable lyrics:
"Pour yourself into me,
our time approaches,
so near, that I sigh.
What danger in such
an adorer?
We dance and the music dies.
We carry them all away,
as we glide through their lost eyes.
You lift me above myself,
with the ghostly lake of your mind.
Arise from your slumber
in my arms. Your beauty took
the strength from me.
In the meadows of heaven,
we run through the stars.
Romantic in our tastes.
We are without excuse.
We burn in our lust.
We die in our eyes
and drown in our arms."
