How to pick the line that becomes the canvas

The canvas captures one moment, not the whole song. Three rules:

  1. Pick 2–4 lines, not the whole verse. Anything longer reads as wallpaper, not art.
  2. Pick the line you both said "that's us" to. Not necessarily the chorus — often it's a bridge or pre-chorus line.
  3. Add the date and names. The lyric is universal; the date and names make it yours.
