I Choose You

Ryann Darling's song "I Choose You" is a heartfelt ode to eternal love and unwavering commitment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that transcends time and space, emphasizing the depth and permanence of the bond between two people. The song opens with the declaration that the beloved is the singer's constant, their reality, and their anomaly, suggesting a love that is both grounding and extraordinary. This sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the choice to love and commit to one person, over and over again, in any lifetime or world.

The chorus reinforces this theme with the powerful lines, "In a hundred lifetimes I'd choose you / In a hundred worlds I'd find you."

This spiritual dimension is reinforced with the lines, "Coz he'd choose us / In a hundred lifetimes / He'd choose us," implying a divine blessing on their relationship. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of this eternal commitment, promising to give one's whole heart for a whole life, and choosing each other every day, every moment, and with every breath. This makes "I Choose You" a powerful anthem for weddings and a timeless celebration of love's enduring power.
