Candles Are Always Available to Inspire!

Candles were at one time more utilitarian. People needed them for light and possibly heat. They didn’t have that wonderful switch on the wall that made connections which automatically filled the room with light. Candles were used so that people could see what they were doing. And that’s all there was to it. Today we all have access to electricity and candles have lost their functional use. But they still have their appeal. They are wildly popular now for things like decorations, relaxation, aroma therapy and even romance.

Candles make a room instantly more cozy. You may have put all the furniture in place but add just a few candles with their varieties of shapes and colors to give it that last little something.  And candles don’t just look and smell good. They can be burned to change an ordinary room into that friendly corner or that romantic hideaway. Electric lights are ordinary lamps work perfectly, but the color and feel you get from candles just can’t be matched by electricity. Candles temper the hard lines of a room and cause everyone to get quiet as they are captured by the wonder of the flame.

When referring to romance, almost everyone thinks of candlelight dinners. They are perfect for people who want to get close and talk. After the candles are lit the TV is usually turned off, and then two people can converse and truly get to know one another. Candles also help encourage those romantic remarks can get a man over an uncomfortable moment. He can always count on the candle to inspire the complement about how nice she looks.

Candles are also popular song topics. For example, you’ve probably heard of Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” and Joan Kennedy’s “Candle in the Window.” Don’t forget also “Light My Candle,” by Rent; “Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You,” by Joe Sun; “Light One Candle,” sung by Peter, Paul and Mary; and “One Candle One Flame,” by Linda Sobo. A couple of other songs that refer to candles are “Big Deal,” by Leann Rimes; “These Dreams,” by Heart; “Stand,” by Rascal Flatts, and “Ice Ice Baby,” by Vanilla Ice.
