So, I want to ask you to post the song you feel best fits your personality in relation to falling in love. I mean more so what attracts you, not what you would use to attract someone else, and if you like, why?

So my song that I feel would most attract me to a guy would be "Just Say Yes" by Snow Patrol. I would explain, but to me if you listen to the song, you'll get it, lol. So, I hope you're intuitive. I will try though.

It's a mix of the slightly hopeful yet serious, sad mood and the lyrics. He sounds convinced of his love and is almost taunting me with assurance if that makes sense. It's slightly sinister because the thought of responding without reason would seem foolish and it must be a trick, but it's purity superceeds that. In short, it appeals to my sensual primary infantile side by having lines of assurance that comfort me, and it appeals to my secondary aggressive tendencies by being spontaneous in how "he" wishes me to respond almost without thinking.

Also, it's open to guesses at what would attract a certain type. Emphasis on infj would be cool, but not necessary.

I blogged about it, reasoning is in below:

http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36411&p=1369718&viewfull=1#post1369718


BUT.

for all those TL;DR

Here is the synopsis:
I'm not one of those people (as highlighted in my unbreak my heart blog) who particularly enjoys love songs, mainly because i am just not that person in those songs, i do not see the world through rose coloured glasses when i love someone. I'm too awkward, impetuous and i guess "unromantic" for the all encompassing Whitney Houston "i will always love you" style of things, they don't speak to me. I prefer a little realism with my love, the tangible over the intangible.

Which is why i love this song, it kids of sums me up in a relationship, awkward, affectionate, and resigned to thinking i will somehow kill it. It's just one of those songs which makes me happily sulky.



Here are the lyrics.

Perfect Now - Sarah Blasko.

Everything is perfect now
I dont want to make a movement
I'm too scared to breathe; I might do something wrong
As you're sleeping silently
Perfect beauty laid before me
I feel every second is a life time long

Here's a place I've been before
A place some say I should go more
But every journey just leads me so far away
When I just wanted to stay
I just wanted to stay.

So that's why I wont wake you where you lie
If I could now I'd freeze time
I cant find forever in your eyes
I should leave you while they're dry

Living underneath this guilt
I cant leave a house that I have built
Though I feel it sinking further everytime
And the weight of my mistakes
Means that everything I touch breaks
I dont want to see you as the next in line

So that's why I wont wake you where you lie
If I could now I'd freeze time
I cant find forever in your eyes
I should leave you while they're dry

It basically breaks down to the direct simplicity of "Call me, let's hang out and have good times in good weather. I dig you, wanna be my man?"

"Yeah, I know she's cute, but hold back because you and me are a must and I'm sure that it's love now I've built the courage to come and claim you"

And the best not in love song right here

Seems I'm most partial to those who dig me enough to want to drag me out of the bat cave or away from a nasty woman out of what I consider to be real love.

Beautiful thread btw

Interesting thread, because I'm easily lured in by boys who play me pretty music...especially if they know exactly what songs would push my buttons. In fact, I am quite taken with someone who has a talent for doing this.

I actually like sappy love songs, but tend to be more intrigued if a guy can show me something NEW I haven't heard before, and if it SOUNDS really profound and atmospheric and full of emotion. As much as I like sweet love songs and nice lyrics, I tend to be more lured in by stuff like this (is this even a love song?) ...timing and context are important.


Another song that probably isn't a love song which had a similar effect on me in the past was "New Slang" by The Shins.

I'm attracted to sounds and feelings and a man's sense of aesthetics and knowing what I'll like, not sincere words, though I like those too...it's weird, I mean I totally like stuff like "Swing Life Away" by Rise Against, but in and of itself it's not as intriguing because it's so straight forward and sweet.

Oh I should make a separate post here saying how much I love this song, and it's actually a love song, and it has many qualities that I find very alluring - I like how romantic and atmospheric it is, and also how it relies on lovely descriptions of sensory experiences. It would probably be effective on people of my type. (Yeah sorry I'll actually follow the rules with my second post, instead of replying honestly to what has actually worked on me in the past :D ....)

Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under under wild blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We'll never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue car
You took me to the darkest place you knew
And set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark
Daniel
To a place that's vast
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as my head spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark
Daniel
To a place that's vast
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

When I run in the dark
Daniel
To a place that's vast
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

i love this song. every single word.

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details

Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support

She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general

Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And wont easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light

All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyones strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things

But when Im asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I`ll get away with it​

Elton John's "Your Song".
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

:biggrin:

I don't give a crap what anyone outside of my relationship thinks.
A relationship without sarcasm and banter would be painful.
Romance and humour must be linked.
I do not want to "complete" someone or have someone who wants that kind of relationship.
Sex is a way for me to show affection.


Me and my old lady
Lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head

Me and my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me
Will I say that love is blind
But really I don't mean it
Everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with her head

So what if we're making a scene now
You know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now
You know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we
Ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want to go on and stare
Cause we don't care

Me and my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head

This isn't relevant to my "type", but to me as I'm a closet hopeless romantic.
When you find that person and you realize why it didn't, why it couldn't, work out with anyone else.

Taking all notes of my own typology into consideration I choose this one:

Puscifer - Rev 22:20
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CsICpwKyQo

Don't be aroused by my confession
Unless you don't give a good goddamn about redemption
I know Christ is comin', and so am I
And you would too if this sexy devil caught your eye

She'll suck you dry
And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again
She'll make you weep
And moan and cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer
Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

Jesus is risen, it's no surprise
Even he would martyr his momma to ride to hell between those thighs
The pressure is building, at the base of my spine
If I gotta sin to see her again then I'm gonna lie, lie, lie

She'll make you cry
I'll sell my soul, to be back in her bosom
Gladly now please suck me dry
And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just until I can die a little longer
Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

My pulse has been rising
My temples are pounding
The pressure is so overwhelming and building
So steady now freddy; I'm ready to blow
What is she
What is she
What is she waiting for?

(Pray) Pray til I go blind
(Pray) Pray cause no one ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just to die longer
Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

Alternatively

dredg - Not That Simple

Remove my hands and feet
Watch me crawl on my stubs
Throw me to the street
Watch me fall on down head first

It’s not that simple
I’ve needed this from the start
To guide my way
To be okay
It’s made life simple
I’ve needed this from the start to wake up

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us

Its time to retreat
I sawed it down to the bone
The canyons are too deep yeah
Decided to run like a child
Decided to run to rescue
Took too long to wake up

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us

It’s not that simple
I’ve needed this from the start
To guide my way
To be okay
It’s made life simple
I’ve needed this from the start to wake up

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us
For us for us

I wasn't entirely sure how I was supposed to answer this question from the OP. I wasn't sure if I was to select a song that I would like another type (naming that type like INTJ or INFJ) to play for me...or if I was to select a song that represented 'what it sounds like when my own type falls in love'...no...I didn't know. So I decided to shoot for the latter.

This is one cheesy-ass song. But there is something 'very ENFP 7w6 falling in love rainbows-the-world-is-one-big-disneyland' sounding about it.

^^^Holy hell. I just attempted to post a youtube video...over and over again...and it won't take. It appears in the edit but not in the post itself??? (and yes...I am doing it properly...I've done this a million times here). Now I'm late. I will have to return and correct it. Dude.

EDIT: fixed

The lyrics are simple and understated but the feelings are abundantly there.
I guess it's the sense of running away (even if only metaphorically) with your other half that I like the most. If someone wrote something like it for me, I'd be touched.

I know places we can go, babe
I know places we can go, babe
The high won't fail here, babe
No, the high won't hurt here, babe

I know places we can go, babe
I know places we can go, babe
Where the highs won't bring you down, babe
No, the highs won't hurt you there, babe

Don't ask me when but ask me why
Don't ask me how but ask me where
There is a road, there is a way
There is a place, there is a place

I know places we can go, babe
Comin' home, come unfold, babe
And the high won't fade here, babe
No, the high won't hurt here, babe

So come lay
And wait
Now won't you lay
And wait, wait on me

"Distractions"

Fancy a big house
Some kids and a horse
I can not quite, but nearly
Guarantee, a divorce

I think that I love you
I think that I do
So go on mister
Make Miss me, Mrs you.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do.
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth, from the truth.

Fancy a fast car
A bag full of loot
I can nearly guarantee
You'll end up with the boot

I love you, I love you, I love you , I do
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth, from the truth.

I love you, I love you, I love you , I do
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth, from the truth.

Love is an interesting thing for ENTJs. It's absolute. I think the most important thing for us is to be able to care for those we love and provide for them. I like Maxwell's Whenever, Wherever, Whatever because it captures this. If I tell someone I love them, it's a promise that I'll do for them for however long I'm able. Hence me not saying it all that often.

[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlSU15jhyV0"]Whenever, Wherever, Whatever[/YOUTUBE]

Not a song, but Neruda gets us, too.

Pablo said:
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
