Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love is favourite love song
Posted by admin
The lyrics to Elvis Presley’s song Can’t Help Falling In Love best sum up the feelings of lovers, a survey has revealed.
The devotional words to the song, which featured in Presley’s 1961 film Blue Hawaii, describe the mood of love better than any other, according to respondents.
Another film theme, Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You, which featured in The Bodyguard, came second in the list of lyrics for infatuated lovers.
Life imitates art when it comes to weddings, according to the survey, with Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet, which featured in the Hugh Grant film Four Weddings And A Funeral, ranked the top song for nuptials.
More than half said lyrics could change their moods and recall memories. But half said they find lyrics harder to find because of the decline in sales of traditional music media such as CDs and LPs, which often had the songwords printed on their sleeves.
Honor Wilson Fletcher, the director of the National Year of Reading, said: “What surprised us in this survey was how it goes across all the generations. It didn’t matter if you were 18 or 65, the emotional importance of lyrics was completely consistent.”
