Trivia
Lagu balada ikonik ini dirilis pada tahun 2011 sebagai bagian dari soundtrack film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Menariknya, Christina Perri menulis lagu ini setelah menonton cuplikan awal film tersebut karena ia adalah penggemar berat seri Twilight.
Lagu ini melambangkan cinta abadi antara karakter Bella dan Edward, namun maknanya berkembang menjadi jauh lebih luas. Berkat liriknya yang emosional dan melodi piano yang menyentuh, “A Thousand Years” kini menjadi salah satu lagu paling populer di dunia untuk pengiring pengantin berjalan menuju altar (wedding march) di berbagai acara pernikahan.
