Cupid and Psyche
Title: Everything Takes Time
Artist: Hazel Faith Dela Cruz
Lines from the Song:
“You gotta wait a little longer
Gotta get a little older
Don’t rush things that’ll change
Cause everything takes time as every song needs rhyme
I know you want it now but you’ll get there somehow
Just let it all unfold
Tomorrow can’t be told
Take it slow and you’ll get more in time”
Explanation: If people are meant to be with each other, no matter what the obstacles and hurdles
they undergo they would still find themselves in each other’s arms. If Cupid and Psyche gave up
immediately, they would have never find their happy ending.
Pyramus and Thisbe
Title: Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka
Artist: Erik Santos
Lines form the Song:
“Kulang ako kung wala ka
Di ako mabubuo kung di kita kasama
Nasanay na ako na lagi kang nariyan
Di ko kayang mag-isa
Puso ay pagbigyan
Kulang ako, kulang ako kung wala ka”
Explanation: The lyrics say it all. Because of incapability of Pyramus and Thisbe to live without
the other here on earth, they decided that if they can’t be with each other on earth, then better kill
themselves and be with each other on the Underworld.
Orpheus and Eurydice
Title: Bulletproof Love
Artist: Peirce the Veil
Lines from the song:
“This isn’t fair, no, don’t you try to blame this on me
My love for you was bulletproof but you were the one who shot me.”
Explanation: I chose this song and particularly these lines because the love that they had was
eternal and genuine but because of his eagerness to see her too soon, caused the death for both of
them.
Ceyx and Alcyone
Title: When You’re Gone
Artist: Avril Lavigne
Lines from the Song:
“When you’re gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you..
We were made for each other, out here forever, I know we were.
All I ever wanted was for you to know, everything I’d do I’d give my heart and soul
I can’t hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah”
Explanation: These lines greatly correspond to Alyeone’s longing towards Ceyx after his voyage
and her insistency to see him and to be with him even after knowing his death.
Pygmaleon and Galatea
Title: The Heart Wants What It Wants
Artist: Selena Gomez
Lines from the Song:
“Save your advice because I won’t hear
You might be right but I don’t care
There’s a million reason why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants”
Explanation: Even though Galatea was just a product of Pygmalion’s art, it didn’t hinder him
from loving her like a real living maiden. It relates to these lyrics that when you are in love, you
would care less of what people would say about you, the important is you love that person no
matter what.
Baucis and Philemon
Title: A Thousand Years
Artist: Christina Perri
Lines from the Song:
“I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more”
Explanation: These few lines let us picture in our minds that forever does exist in love and it was
what Baucis and Philemon had: eternal love.
Endymion
Title: Shadow
Artist: Austin Mahone
Lines from the Song:
“Only my shadow knows how I feel about you
Only my shadow goes where I dream if you and me
Should I go or wait? Is it too soon too late?
But only my shadow knows”
Explanation: For this song is about one-sided love which depicts Endymion and Selene’s love
story. Endymion never to know Selene’s love for him and Selene forever being contented upon
her caresses and kisses to him.
Daphne
Title: Voodoo Doll
Artist: 5 Seconds of Summer
Lines from the Song:
“I can feel you watching even when you’re nowhere to be seen,
I can feel you touching even when you’re far away from me..
I don’t wanna stay, I wanna run away but I’m trapped under your spell..
Won’t you please stop loving me to death?”
Explanation: Apollo, captivated and lured by Daphne’s enchanting beauty got me writing these
lyrics that no matter how much avoidance she does to Apollo, and him being so eager to make her
his still found a way to capture her by changing her into a tree of Laurel.
Alpheus and Arethusa
Title: Give Love a Try
Artist: Jonas Brothers
Lines from the Song:
“You might think that I’m a fool for falling over you
So tell me what can I do to prove to you that it is not so hard to do?
Give love a try, one more time
‘Cause you know that I’m on your side”
Explanation: This song suits their love story since Arethusa was being chase by the persistent and
insistent Alpheus upon making her fall in love with him and eventually capturing her heart after
the long chase.
My Happiest Love Song
Title: Gone, Gone, Gone
Artist: Phillips Phillips
Lines from the Song:
“When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight if you need help, if you need help
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe to make you well, to make you well
When enemies are at your door I'll carry you way from more
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering to make you well, to make you well..
I surrender honestly
You've always done the same for me
And I would do it for you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone gone gone
Explanation: Every time I hear this song my heart always flutters and feel butterflies in my stomach
maybe because of its lyrics knowing that you will never be alone and that he would always be
there at your side no matter what.
My Saddest Love Song
Title: Forever and Always
Artist: Parachute
Lines from the Song:
“She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low as he says ‘I love you forever, forever and always.
Please just remember even if I’m not there. I’ll always love you forever and always,”
Explanation: I consider this song as my saddest because of its very emotional and heavy lyrics in
which the lyrics foretells a sequence of events. From a happy couple to a tragic accident that led
the guy from dying just after they have exchanged vows in a hospital.
