Danish author, Hans Christiansen Andersen once said that “Where words fail, music speaks.” He couldn’t have been more correct. Everyday people are using music in their daily lives to express their emotions to each other and the world around them. Music has been incorporated in proposals for years because it creates a special moment for the couple when they hear a song that is meaningful to their relationship. Adding music to your proposal will add a sentimental element to the day that will be remembered forever, whether you decide on a flash mob to dance for you or a more intimate setting with a single guitarist. Here are five of the top proposal songs of 2014 to get your musical ideas flowing:

1) Marry You by Bruno Mars

2) A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

3) All Of Me by John Legend

4) Marry Me by Train

5) Marry Me by Jason Derulo
