Wedding End Credits: Proposal — My Kind of Love Song / PENGIN at Gajoen

Rather than a wedding song, it’s more like a pre-wedding proposal song, but it’s a popular wedding track often used in couples’ profile videos.

Why are love songs delivered in rap so moving? I know what’s coming, yet the tears still flow… It must be because they convey words we can’t usually say, just as they are, straight from the heart.

The bride won’t be able to listen without tears.
