“Blue Monday” , by the Doors. It was written by Jim Morrison. He wanted to give it to Frank Sinatra when Sinatra married Mia Farrow.
Lonesome Moonlight Waltz by Bill Monroe.
No lyrics.
In fact, carnie is playing it right now.
“Stellar” by Incubus…It was our song before they got popular dammit!!
~Kittie
“Can’t Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon.
We’ll be celebrating 16 years of marriage on September 22 and that song still means the world to us! sigh!
“These Foolish Things” by Billie Holliday.
Perfect for a long, sweet, romantic dance.
“A cigerette that bears a lipstick’s traces,
an airline ticket to romantic places.
Oh, my heart has wings-
these foolish things remind me of you.”
Plus, it has a really long, beautiful intro that makes me all tingly.
The only alternative I would ever consider is “A Kiss to Build A Dream On” by Louis Armstrong, or “At Last” by Etta James. Come to think of it, all three are on our mix tape.
Our tastes in music are pretty different but my gf and I do occasionally agree on certain songs. Presently it’s ‘Exit Music (For a Film)’ by Radiohead.
Morbid, yes we know.
“Breathe, keep breathing
I can’t do this alone…
now we are one
in everlasting peace.”
First, check the sig. Read both pages of it. Then, ask Anniz herself if I’m female or not. ;)\
Sorry, bud, but I’m not female…

You needed me - Anne Murray.
The first song we sang for eachother and the song we got married to.
We don’t have a song that’s “our song,” though I keep wanting to tell people it’s “Every Breath you Take” by the Police just so they’ll all have the joy of telling me how inappropriate that is.
“Here, There & Everywhere” - The Beatles
(Followed closely by “I’ve Just Seen a Face” by same)
If I had to choose, “Two Princes” by Spin Doctors.
Not for the “deep, meaningful lyrical content” or anything, but it was on the radio a lot when we got together (summer of 1992), and it just coincides with driving around with the top down on a nice summer day without a care in the world. It brings back memories of good times of when we first got together.
My SO insists “our song” is Moon River, which was playing at the wedding where we met. OK, I don’t recall the song they played, but it was very old then, and I doubt if anyone has played it since, except the Mrs.
Actually this is mine and Mrs. robgruver’s song, but since we didn’t think her parents would let that fly during our reception we used Meatloaf’s Heaven Can Wait.
[sub]No comments about Meatloaf. I like Meatloaf dammit.[/sub]
“Bobcaygeon,” The Tragically Hip.
I love you, rob
My third post to this thread, already. :rolleyes:
-
I’m listening to Bobcaygeon right now, oddly enough.
-
Gun and I are trying to come up with an our song, but having difficulties deciding on anything. The fact that he doesn’t seem to know any music besides Led Zep, AC/DC, Aerosmith and Chuck Berry isn’t really helping.
Our wedding song is “Crush” by the Dave Matthews Band (not to be confused with “Crash”)
Some other songs that make us tingle b/c they remind us of special moments or when we first met:
"Baby I love your way" Peter Frampton
"Fade to Black" Metallica
"Don’t Close Your Eyes" Kix
Lots of GNR from the “Use Your Illusion” set as we played it constantly during our vehicle makeout sessions
“My Funny Valentine,” by Ella Fitzgerald, of course.
What a coincidence. I made a tape for my later-to-be-wife when I was in grad school and she’d just taken a job in her home state. We didn’t know we were going to fall in love yet.
Probably to cut that got her the most was EL&P’s In the Beginning.
The first dance song at our wedding was Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight.
Allison Krauss, singing When You Say Nothing At All. IIRC, the original is by Kenny Chesney.
Makes me all smiley and mushy hearing it now.
