"Lovesong"

At Mark and Rachel's wedding, the song that they danced to together was the Cure's "Lovesong" (though I think they used 311's cover):

Whenever I’m alone with you you make me feel
Like I am home again whenever I’m alone with
You you make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you you make me feel
Like I am young again whenever I’m alone with
You you make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you however
Long I stay I will always love you whatever
Words I say I will always love you I will always
Love you

Whenever I’m alone with you you make me feel
Like I am free again whenever I’m alone with
You you make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you however
Long I stay I will always love you whatever
Words I say I will always love you I will always
Love you

For some reason, this made me feel old. Were people allowed to use a song by the Cure for their song? Was that right? Could you do that?

Apparently you can. Apparently the music that I traditionally associate with listening to while young and impressionable is now music that I will now start to associate with my generation being married.

"Lovesong" in particular always used to be a song that, to me, represented tension between casual young lovers. It never represented something between two people engaged in very strong commitment. However, now that I rethink it, I'm very much okay with this change. I'm just surprised it happened so quickly.
