Hello folks I am getting wed shortly, and was wondering if any of you have any suggestions for a first wedding dance tune? I know it should be special to me and the future wife etc...but i have spent an age trying to pick...Joe Arthur, Ron Sexsmith, Tom McRae and the like, all close to the wife's heart, but the lyrics are a bit on the sadder side of life. thanks PQ

Tammy Wynette "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" I dunno, first dance wedding song is too personal a thing, I think you've gotta figure it out yourself.

Damien Rice, the blowers daughter But make sure you have first dance before you serve the cake, lest you have a vommit-fest on your hands.

cheers folks Parton, the wife to be is panicing about orders of ceremony, flowers, shoulder shimmer glitter, the wee things ye put on the table for the guests that they forget to take and all those kinds of lovely things. have half written a cheesy number (never written a tune before in my life), friend says he will record it and play it...not sure what to do. will keep the ipod on shuffle for the next week and see what happens thanks PQ

Good luck with the wedding..! It is a personal choice but I think "Wild Horses" would be lovely.

I'm having the same problems myself, getting married in a few weeks and we still can't decide whether to go with "Freewheel" by Duke Special/"Time after Time" by Cyndi Lauper and Sarah Brightman or (now for something completely different as they say) "Parachutes" by Something Happens. I'd say go with your own recording though, I would if I could.

Its an occasional conversation for myself & my lady, post a few beers of course. She wants some Patsy Cline tune (apparently she has more than one !), whereas I'd opt for Springsteen's 'If I should fall behind'.

I'd suggest Corrine Bailey Rae's "Just Like a Star" and Sade's "By Your Side". (Call me a soppy git!)

Lads, lads, lads.....I can't believe nobody's suggested The Beach Boys "God Only Knows." Possibly the most beautiful love song ever. My other choice would be The Pretender's version of "I Go To Sleep." Gorgeous song, great lyrics.

Congrats Folks - Mully, surely yours should be "Don't wanna go home Don't wanna go hoooooome This is the best trip I've ever been on" Peter, if you want a quickie, or even a fast song I'd go for Nick Cave's Breathless It's up in the morning and on the downs Little white clouds like gambolling lambs And I am breathless over you And the red-breasted robin beats his wings His throat it trembles when he sings For he is helpless before you The happy hooded bluebells bow And bend their heads all a-down Heavied by the early morning dew At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook The fishes leap up to take a look For they are breathless over you Still your hands And still your heart For still your face comes shining through And all the morning glows anew Still your mind Still your soul For still, the fare of love is true And I am breathless without you The wind circles among the trees And it bangs about the new-made leaves For it is breathless without you The fox chases the rabbit round The rabbit hides beneath the ground For he is defenceless without you The sky of daytime dies away And all the earthly things they stop to play For we are all breathless without you I listen to my juddering bones The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs And I am breathless without you Still your hands And still your heart For still your face comes shining through And all the morning glows anew Still your soul Still your mind Still, the fire of love is true And I am breathless without you

But if you'd prefer it nice and slow........... By the time the best singer ever has finished crooning this into your lady's ear, she'll be putty in your hands. You'll never have to wash another dish again. And all the bridesmaids will want to shag you. I had to type all this out so I want an invitation too. :-) I'll mail you the MP3 if you'd like to hear it Mark Eitzel - Saved Your warm embraces thrill me In your arms I fall like a star Rain or shine, come what may In your arms the cold seems far away And there's no safety in this world I have no time for good luck charms But I still long for your touch 'Cos I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved in your arms. An empty heart is like an empty house Filled with old ghosts and little else And secrets that everyone but me knows That without love, nothing grows And there's no safety in this world I have no time for good luck charms But I still long for your touch 'Cos I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved in your arms. In your arms. I don't think about consequences I only know what my heart senses And it pulls me like an arrow straight to you, love It pulls me to what is true, love And there's no safety in this world I have no time for good luck charms But I still long for your touch 'Cos I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved I know I'm saved in your arms. In your arms.
