Wedding stuff - not on the wedding filter

[ca_amethyst]

Paging thatliardiego, barbie_toes, i_kissandra and any other friends that are really into music. I'm still trying to find a first dance song for Phil and I. After going through all the songs on my iPod (all 10,000+) and listening to the radio again (which I've not done much since the iPod purchase) for the past couple of weeks I'm lost and asking for suggestions. While I appreciate

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but... does it have to be a "love song" in the classic sense of what one usually would consider a "love song"?

[ca_amethyst]

No. It does not have to fit the classic definition of a love song. :)

[i_kissandra]

Just to get you started...

Stickshifts and Safety Belts - Cake
Turn Your Lights Down Low - Bob Marley (there are also a couple decent covers)
Aint No Sunshine - Bill Withers (lots of covers, but Bill Withers is the original, the best)
Besa Me (loads of covers of this one)
I Like It, I Love It - Tim McGraw
You and Me - Lifehouse
I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers
You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate
Only You - Yaz
You Can Leave Your Hat On - Joe Cocker
I Touch Myself - Divinyls
Rain or Shine (a classic love song - loads of covers)
I Would Die 4 You - Prince
Loving You Always - Los Lonely Boys ( LOVE this one)
Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ - Journey (oh come on - you knew that had to be on the list)
Fools in Love - Joe Jackson

Uno mas --

Love You Madly - Cake (another really good one - great lyrics, and you can dance to it)

I don't know how you feel about country, but have you listened to Keeper of the Stars? (Tracy Byrd, lyrics here.

[ca_amethyst]

I love country (much to Tammy's dismay when she rode 3000 miles with me). I've got Keeper of the Stars on my possible list, but it is on most of the 50 top requested lists and I was hoping to find something more original. Thanks for the suggestion.

what no Maiden?

I noticed you haven't asked for MY input on this particular part of the wedding planning *g*

Re: what no Maiden?

[ca_amethyst]

Can you see me dancing to a Metal love ballad? LOL

[daydreambeleevr]

I've always loved "The way you look tonight", Tony Bennett. If you do want to check something more "traditional", I'd look into Michael Buble or Harry Connick Jr.
