We dont have 'a song'

Me and OH dont really have a romantic song.....

How did you chose your first dance?

'our song' is 'hero or everlong' by the foo fighters - not a first dance song...

How do you decide what to have, surely it has to be special to both of you???

Ahhhh I have loads that 'remind' me of OH but he is as emotinal as a stone and I dont think has any that remind me of him (dont get me wrong 99% of the time I dont mind)

What are you doing/having?

Argh! Gaptreed.

"Our songs" are Buck Rogers by Feeder and Teenage Dirtbag. Not ideal.

H2B isn't soppy - though he did randomly suggest the power of love by frankie goes to hollywood - so we're now thinking disappear by INXS because the silly tune will make us smile and the words do make sense.

A few days ago though someone posted about Everlong as a first dance song and I think the general consensus was it was fine.

We have no idea what song to have. The only song that's a bit special is 'come what may' from Moulin Rouge. We had been going out for about 4 months and H2B was going to NZ to see some friends who had been travelling out there (all booked before we met). He saw the film and told me to see it before he got home as he loved it. He sent me a dozen red roses cos he missed me so much and when he got home he told me he loved me. Said he realised it whilst he was out there and got all emotional at the film and hearing that song. (awww, some of you are probably feeling a bit by now, LOL) Anyway h2b isn't really that romantic though, i have to hint a lot for him to buy me flowers, unless it's a special occaion then he does pull his finger out.

I do love this song but i think it's a bit cheesy and slow so we are a bit stuck. It depends what you want, do you want something slow and romantic or a bit faster that you can have a bit of a jig to. You could write down your top 5 songs each and work from that. My all time fave songs are 'knock on wood' by Amy Stewart, 'Bittersweet Symphony' bythe Verve and 'Lady Marmalade' (the original), hardly first dance songs but i love them.

I think as long as it means something to you both then sod anyone else. So that could be a rock or dance number. Even if it's something that makes you both laugh or smile when you here it.x

H2B actually picked out first dance song, as soon as i asked him what he thought, he had ran upstairs and picked their album up and had it in the stereo! Luckily for him i loved it and know i keep hearing it all over the place.

Anyways its Lifehouse - You and Me
Lyrics-
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

xx

Miss sparrow... thats a lovely song, wasnt sure which one it was until 'you tubed' it.

We dont have 'a song' either. H2b is very fussy and a bit of a music 'snob' so he keeps turning his nose up at anything I suggest.

I know it's 'normal' to have a romantic first dance song but if thta's simply not "you" as a couple, then go with something else. My SIL had "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Show as her first dance as she knew it was about the only thing he'd actually gaet up and dance too!! Just go with what feels right x

Amanda - thta's a lovely choice!! We can't decide at all - but oinly because we're both soppy and there are oo many to choose from....lol!!

How about "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher - (never mind that they ended up divorced or anything like that!), it's a timeless classic song the way I look at it!

Bamba xx

Our first dance is : Al Green- Lets stay together
We both love Pulp Fiction and its quite romantic hehe =]

Ours is "First day of my life" by Bright Eyes. Such an amazing song and the lyrics are beautiful.

Don't worry if your song isn't the usual "wedding" song - it's whatever makes you smile and happy, and one that you will remember xx

Top choice Shaarotto - that's our first dance too!!! Goes with the whole Motown vibe we're having throughout the day xxx

We're having Daughtry - Life After You, not a typical first dance song, its a make up song, but we both love the song and the chorus is perfect.
MissSparrow, i love lifehouse too, but couldnt persuade h2b xx

ooo i love daughtry. We are having bon jovi thank you for loving me coz 'our song' is actually island in the stream but h2b said he wanted something more romantic and love bon jovis lyrics.
x

I wanted Bright Eyes 1st Day too! And Al Green's Lets Stay together! My H2B wants something really jazzy so that we can properly throw each other around the dance floor! He wants Hallelujah I love Her So by Ray Charles (famous womaniser!!)
'Our song' is You Say It Best by Ronan or She by Elvis Costello, but they're both a bit soppy for us!

we are having Cascada - everytime we touch (slow version). This was the 1st concert we saw together and I love the words
