What is a song, music video, poem, or short story you find romantic?

I looked and couldn't find any blog homework that resembles this topic, so I decided to make my own Blog Homework-esque post. I don't mean to seem brazen, I just really wanted to share this song/music video and the romance implicit within it. It's a perfect snapshot of old school romance that I think a lot of us are seeking a version of these days. And we all could use a little love these days.

It just brings to mind the idea of meeting someone and being madly in love for your entire lives together. Dancing and playing together, despite the disagreements, bad times, and tragedies. Celebrating the key moments of love and romance.

Leonard Cohen was a famous Canadian poet. When he wanted to sell his poetry/songs, no one would support him or buy them. He couldn't find anyone to sing them. So, he bit the bullet and decided to sing them himself. Hence, the unique style.

(I am aware of the controversy surrounding his life and the dark rumours, allegations, and proven facts. I am certainly not forgiving anything he may have done. This is a case of appreciating the art even if I can't appreciate the artist.)

Dance Me to the End of Love
-
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
-
Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
-
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
-
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
-
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
-
So I ask again: What is a song, music video, poem, or short story you find romantic?
