Love At First Sight - Kylie Minogue
Thought that I was going crazy
Just having one of those days yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music yoy were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Was tired of running out of luck
Thinking 'bout giving up yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music yoy were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
For the first time
I knew we were meant to be as one
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music yoy were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
Just having one of those days yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music yoy were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Was tired of running out of luck
Thinking 'bout giving up yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music yoy were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'Cause baby when I heard you
For the first time
I knew we were meant to be as one
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music yoy were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
Those are the lyrics for a popular Kylie Minogue song that was played to death in the early 2000's. It features the extremely prominent romantic theme of 'love at first sight'. It plays to these aspects of romance:
• feelings or emotions over reason or fact
The feeling of being in love, striking you in a moment, clouds over any reason you might have over the fact that you just met this person for the first time. You feel like you have known them 'forever' or in another 'lifetime'. As Kylie sings, "the stars came out and filled the sky and everything went from wrong to right"
• nature over civilizationThere is a triumph in the 'natural' feeling of loving someone right away as opposed to the contrived practices of modern day courting where you manufacture romance instead of feeling it.
• intuition over learning or knowledge
This feeling has more value because something innate within you connected with something innate in another person. This contrasts with the idea of getting to know someone over a long period of time and managing a relationship the more you understand one another. There is no getting engaged and living together for two years before getting married. It's getting married, moving in together and learning about each other afterwards.
• innocence over experience
The pureness of the emotion can only come from the innocence of love at first sight. Not only is there no time for lust or 'like', there is no time or thought towards experience. It is only the innocence of the moment, when love catches you off guard in a single moment, that captures you fully.
