Where love stories start: The locations where music’s most iconic couples met
Valentine’s Day is here, and with it, our attention turns to great love songs and the artists who wrote them.
Love is a funny ol’ thing. It’s arguably the most common feeling in the world, and yet also the most profound. This sensation is one we have all felt at some moment in time, and yet, there are few of us who can accurately describe it. For those who can’t, they often do so in the form of a song.
Love songs help us put into words something which we otherwise might struggle to find our tongue for. Valentine’s evenings across the world see partners steal lyrics from beautiful songs in the hope they can pass them off as their own. Once upon a time, those lyrics were written from one musician to their better half, as the two often formed iconic couples who then went down in history as pairs rather than individuals.
The creative world truly is flooded with some of the greatest love stories imaginable, and that isn’t me saying that the love of an artist means more or less than the love of somebody not creative as such, but with artists, there is a paper trail free for public consumption. We can follow the story as well as they can live it, through song lyrics, poems, and books. It means that there are a lot of iconic musical couples out there whose story we know as well as our own, but where did all of them start?
Well, look no further. This is a map dedicated to the origins of some of the most iconic couples out there, as we plunge deep into the world of true love and examine the wholesome beginnings where their stories started.
