I just have to say, I think this forum is so cool.....

During the ceremony, we''re going to have a friend sing "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds.

For our first dance, our song will be "I Can''t Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli.
 
Earlier in our realtionship (which will be 4 years August 13th yay

can't wait!) we both picked out a song for each other. Mine for him was "Amazed" by Lonestar. He really does amaze me even after all this time!

I know that may sound cheesy but he is my angel that God sent just for me! His song to me was "To make you feel my love" by Garth Brooks...ah...I get goose bumps when he sings this to me. I'M IN LOVE!

here it is...

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love


When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong


I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love


The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet


I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love



This past Valentines we danced in his living room to this, "our song." This may just be our "First dance" song...we will see
 
Awesome thread...Thanks to Kiziki84 for bumping it up. =) M and I have a lot of songs that are special to us (aka songs we always scream the words to in the car) but we don''t have a traditional song. I Don''t Wanna Miss A Thing is the first song we slow danced to (at a wedding), and I''m a HUGE Aerosmith fan, so that''s the closest thing. However, Shake A Tail Feather by Ray Charles/Blues Brothers is really our song. Weird huh? If you''re wondering, when we were at that wedding M requested that song along with a few others...when it came on he grabbed me and started swinging me all around the dance floor. It was glorious (I''m a big dancer and I LOVE it when guys dance!) We''ve said that when we do get married it should be our first dance because it would be fun and it''s so us...if you''ve never heard it, it''s upbeat and impossible to sit still when you hear it. That''s us! A fun-loving couple of big kids!

I''ll be your dream, I''ll be your wish, I''ll be your fantasy. I''ll be your hope, I''ll be your love, be everything that you need, I''ll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply doo...........


LOVE THAT SONG! makes me wanna cry.....lol
 
We don''t really have an "our song," but the one that always makes me think of him in "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. He plays it on the guitar AND sings it, and the first time I heard him do it, I think I fell in love right there and then
30.gif
.

Another one we both love, and that will probably be the song we play right after the ceremony, is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" by the Hawaiian singer Israel (Iz) Kamakawiwo''ole (phew! Had to look that one up!). It''s such a happy song with the plucky ukelele, but the way he sings it has so much poignancy and wistfulness to it. When I told him I wanted to play that he asked if I really wanted him to be crying his eyes out in the middle of our wedding! I said it would make two of us.


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true.

Someday i wish upon a star
Wakeup where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That''s where you''ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why oh why can''t i

Well i see trees of green and red roses too
I''ll watch them bloom for me and you
And i think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well i see skies of blue and
I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And i think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
I also one the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do
They''re really saying I I love you

I hear babies cry and i watch them grow
They''ll learn much more then we''ll know
And i think to myself what a wonderful world
World

Someday i wish upon a star
Wakeup where the clouds are far behind me
Well trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That''s where you''ll find me

Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh why can''t I

I LOVE Peter Gabriel! He has so many songs that really touch me on a deep level. 'In Your Eyes', 'Blood of Eden', 'Don't Give Up', "Mercy Street', 'Biko', and the entire 'Passion' soundtrack... marvelous! He's one of my favorites.

We've already chosen our wedding music (and I'm a LIW!). It was a no-brainer, really, because it bizzarely prevalent during our initial courtship, and really summed up our feelings for one another. It's Sigur Ros' 'Untitled' album. It will be playing during our wedding. For something completely without language, it certainly pinpoints feelings with uncanny accuracy. We love his music, because it sounds like he's distilled love into song, in all it's exhilaration, storminess, bittersweetness, warmth, longing, and comfort. So articulate for something without formal words!

However, our 'song' isn't from the 'Untitled' album, it's 'Glosoli' from their 'Takk' album.



 
Nicky wrote me a song (he''s a jazz guitarist), but it doesn''t have any lyrics. The melody really does speak for itself!

We have so many other "songs" that it''s hard to pick. But I guess our first official song was...

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let''s take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It''s been too long since we took the time
No-one''s to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It''s like we both are falling in love again
It''ll be just like starting over, starting over

Everyday we used to make it love
Why can''t we be making love nice and easy
It''s time to spread our wings and fly
Don''t let another day go by my love
It''ll be just like starting over, starting over

Why don''t we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We''ll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling

It''s been too long since we took the time
No-one''s to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It''s like we both are falling in love again
It''ll be just like starting over, starting over

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let''s take a chance and fly away somewhere

Starting over

Galateia, I had to go dig out my "So" CD because I haven''t listened in ages. Mercy Street sends chills down my spine.

I haven''t heard much from Sigur Ros, but what I have heard I''ve loved. So atmospheric. I keep meaning to download one of the albums from iTunes. Is there one in particular you''d recommend?

If you are going for an entire album, ''Untitled'' all the way. It''s also known as '' ( ) '' but ''parentheses'' is a bit more awkward as a title, methinks. #3 is like a love letter written to your far-off sweetheart, full of wistful delicate longing, and #6 (or is it #8? I get confused... none of them have titles!
29.gif
) is like the emotional storm in those moments where you feel actuely how much you love him...

Erm. Right.
32.gif
Back to the matter at hand. Sorry about that.

''Takk'' is pretty too, but a bit more typical, structure-wise, and less... dreamy? If you''re going for a full album, definitely ( ).

Do let me know what you think of it if you go for it!
 
Haha. Great topic. I''m glad it''s re-surfaced for us newer girls.

I don''t consider this "our song" as much as "my song." When I''m sad, or just need uplifting, or when either of us is being silly, Paul will sing me my song. Do you guys remember that "My Buddy" doll back in the 80s? It was a boy doll, targeted toward boys. Girls had "Kid Sister." Anyway, one night on the phone Paul and I were talking about old commercials, and how funny it is that jingles stick in our minds, but things we really *ought* to remember doesn''t nearly as well. Go figure.

Anyway, he changed "my buddy" to "my baby" for that song. It goes like this:

My baby, my baby.
Wherever she goes, I''m gonna go.
My baby, my baby.
My baby & me.

Short, sweet, and he sings it in this really funny nasaly voice. I adore it. I can be in a horendous mood, and yeah, just that song reminds me of the gift I have in my silly, loving, adorable boy. I love "my song!"

Our song, though, well, we have a couple that we identify as precious and sweet and reflective of us. "I tip my hat to the maker of the stars" is one, another is "God bless the broken road that led me straight to you." I love those songs!

I''m thinking of walking down the isle to "Broken Road." He doesn''t know it yet, but I think I will. I sort want it playing really quietly, and there is another version besides the Rascal Flatts one *I love them!!* where a girl is singing, and it''s just a bit softer, and I really am so glad that this road I''ve been walking down led me to the most fabulous man for me.
 
Selkie, I love Iz''s version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I was thinking that could be my dance with my daddy!
 
Our song is (Sittin'' on) the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding. When my bf and I had a magical night when we first kissed. Among other things, there was a random guy who sang that whole song to us. It''s a sentimental song for the both of us.
 
Our first song was the goo goo dolls "Iris". We have a couple more now that we adore like "the way you look tonight"

I am so surprised that I haven''t seen Sade yet....Here is ours! Our best friends played it at their wedding as their first dance, you would have thought we were the ones getting married the way we dancing all by ourselves in the back of the room....I LOVE this song!

SADE - Lovers Rock Lyrics

[1] - I am in the wilderness
You are in the music
In the man''s car next to me
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won''t fall apart completely

[2] - When I need to be rescued
And I need a place to swim
I have a rock to cling to in the storm
When no one can hear me calling
I have you I can sing to

[3] - And in all this
And in all my life

[4] - You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You''re the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 3]
[Repeat 4]
[Repeat 4]


I''m AMAZED there''s only one other Sade song on here! Anyways, we''re thinking of using Sade''s By your Side. It gives me chills, esp. when he sings it to me. (But I do love the idea of Somewhere over the Rainbow by Iz as well...we love that song!).

You think I’d leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I’d leave you when your down on your knees?
I wouldn’t do that
I’ll do you right when your wronged
I-----ohhh, ohhh

If only you could see into me


Oh, when your cold
I’ll be there to hold you tight to me
When your on the outside baby and you can’t get in
I will show you, you''re so much better than you know
When your lost, when you''re alone and you can’t get back again
I will find you darling I’ll bring you home
If you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time you’ll be fine
You think I’d leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I’d leave you down when your down on your knees
I wouldn’t do that
I’ll do you right when you''re wronged
I-----i, ohhhh, ohhh

If only you could see into me


Oh when you''re cold
I’ll be there
To hold you tight to me
Oh when you''re alone
I’ll be there by your side baby
Repeat 1x
 
scarlet16, I love that Sade song!! In fact, I just pulled it up in iTunes and turned it on after I read your post.
 
My b/f and I don''t so much have a "song"--we have more like a ridiculously long soundtrack.
 
Our song is "Oooh Baby I Love Your Way," but I don't know that I want that at our wedding...We'll have to see. My honey's been singing it to me since the beginning. Usually he makes up his own words though and they're goofy ones about us
9.gif
. Sigh, just thinking about him makes me smile

. Yay love.

ETA:

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
I can see them under the pine
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
 
I think ours will be Lyle Lovett - Nobody Knows Me. I don''t really like anything else he''s done, but this song to me sums up the comfort and intimacy of finding the right person to be with.

And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby
And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby
But it was a dream made to order
South of the border
And nobody knows me like my baby
And she cried man how could you do it
And I swore that there weren''t nothing to it
But nobody knows me like my baby
And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby
And I like cream in my coffee
And I hate to be alone on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
 
Another great one - though he doesn''t like Dave Matthews so it won''t fly for our wedding - with beautiful lyrics is Dave Matthews, "I''ll Back You Up".

I remember thinking
I''ll go on forever only knowing
I''ll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would you like to dance
Around the world with me
I''ll be falling all about my own thing
And I know you''re the heaviest weight
When you''re not here that''s hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest view
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I''ll back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
I''ll be falling all about my own thing
And i know your the heaviest weight
When your not here that''s hung
Around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest view
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I''ll back you up
 
So he''s been making me a "Love 4 One" CD every year for the past four years, and the last couple I''ve gotten two...corny I know, but sweet. So we have no good "our song."

In a genius combined effort, we figured out that he''s going to write me a poem and have his brother in law sing it and play the guitar...and that first dance will be the first time I along with everyone else get to hear it.

I am freaking excited. how much more special can it get?
 
We both just love Marc Cohn- have been to several concerts of his together, and I remember realizing that I was truly in love with my FI at the second concert of his we went to, a few months into our relationship...so, its only appropriate that our song be "True Companion," by good ole'' Marc himself. I just love this song!

Baby Ive been searching like everybody else
Cant say nothing different about myself
Sometimes Im an angel
And sometimes Im cruel
And when it comes to love
Im just another fool
Yes, Ill climb a mountain
Im gonna swim the sea
There aint no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
Im asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion

So dont you dare and try to walk away
Ive got my heart set on our wedding day
Ive got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that its you allright
And when I take your hand
Ill watch my heart set sail
Ill take my trembling fingers
And Ill lift up your veil
Then Ill take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
Ill still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this earth
Ill be with the angels standin
Ill be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

 
This will date me but oh well.

More than This

I could feel at the time
there was no way of knowing
fallen leaves in the night
who can say where they''re blowing?
as free as the wind
and hopefully learning
why the Sea on the Tide
has no way of turning...
More than this...
there is nothing
more than this...
tell me one thing
more than this...
there is nothing
It was fun for a while
there was no way of knowing
like a dream in the night
who can say where we''re going?
no care in the world
maybe I''m learning
why the Sea on the Tide
has no way of turning...
More than this...
there is nothing
more than this...
tell me one thing
more than this...
-sicu More than This
