Ed Sheeran - Perfect. Is this relationship attainable?

[BeeryNice]

My male buddy asked me if relationships can actually ever be as depicted in Ed Sheeran's song, Perfect.

He said "if that's what love is, that sounds pretty great. Sign me up. I never knew it could be like that."

I said I thought you might have a moment like that, but wasn't sure an entire relationship could be that way.

What do you think?

[lilaqua]

Yeah, why not. I want a love like depicted in Lay Lady Lay

Lay lady lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady stay
Stay with your man a while
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile

[Chiral]

That describes a one night stand as well though. Any more context is added by you.

[lilaqua]

@Chiral I guess that could be true, funnily enough for a Dylan song it's less about the lyrics and more about the feeling of the music and words combine together to create this immense warmth. I feel like hugging myself whilst hearing it.

[Chiral]

Yes, exactly.

[PrincessBunBuns]

Yeah! I personally don't feel comfortable with that cheesy stuff, but it can work.

[Chiral]

If it was that sickeningly chocolate-box sugary-sweet all the time then those songs you are listening to while dancing barefoot (not this far north I hope) in the grass would be meaningless and evoke no pathos.

[Duke1985]

Imagine something being this great like all the time. Could you even appreciate it? Only with low moments, you can see what high moments are like

[Canadaman99]

That lyric is obviously possible. Go find a field at night with your partner and play some music while dancing. Isn't rocket science

[BeeryNice]

Not just that lyric. The whole song.

[Canadaman99]

Never heard it but doubtful

[Canadaman99]

Real life doesn't sell pop songs unless its about breakups. Fantasy is what sells

[Canadaman99]

If you strive for these kinds of relationships you will never be satisfied. It's not healthy

[SebShaw82]

No. Humans are shitbags so there is no perfect relationship.

[Guanfei]

Perfect relationships don't exist. Or at least not this way. You'll always have some issues with your boyfriend, one way or another.

[H2OHydrox]

I think he’s a cheesy player trying on a line.

[BeeryNice]

Ed Sheeran? 😂😂😂

[H2OHydrox]

No, your friend 🤣

[BeeryNice]

Oh lol. Nah he doesn't need cheesy pickup lines. We're totally honest with each other. It's a unique relationship

[hugs4rentSocialclub]

Well Ed can really sing some deep stuff. 😂
