    well it's a cover but 'throw your arms around me' held a special place for me. speaks to me of building a relationship. "shed your skin lets get started"

    We used PJ's slow Vegas rendition of 'Can't Help Falling In Love.'
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3MXZ_qdKDU
    'I want to hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'

  • My wife walked down the isle to Tuolumme and Picture in a Frame. Most of my guests didnt know who Eddie/Pearl Jam was and they thought the music was amazing. I still have people asking me for copies of the music!

    Cheers

    Agreed!

    Why deny
    All the troubles when combined
    With the missing links
    It don't feel like
    Home now,...

    That you're gone
    All the troubles
    suddenly explained infinitum
    You're always wishing and
    Never here at
    Home

    You
    All the dreams we shared and
    Lights we turned on
    But the house is getting dark

    And I don't want to know your past
    But together share the dawn
    And I won't need

    Nothing else
    Cause when we're dead
    We would've had it all

    And died
    I would've fallen from the sky
    Til you
    Parachutes have opened now

    Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
    come so low with the kneeling
    Please know that
    I got

    All the friends I'm needing
    Before my light goes out
    As the doors are closing now

    And far away will be my home
    And to grasp this, I don't know
    And I don't need

    Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today
    And love,... Wish the world could go again with love
    One cant seem to have enough
    And war,.... Break the sky and tell me what it's for
    I'll travel there on my own
    And love,.... What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

  • Personally, I'm very partial to the idea of somehow using Thin Air in any ceremony I eventually take part in...
    If Adam and Eve had Taco Bell they would have never eaten that filthy fruit...

    something about Love Boat Captain rubs me the right way. It gets up there in tempo but the words are fitting.

    Around The Bend was the last dance at my wedding reception; people loved it. I also considered using Parachutes and Thin Air.

  • I think someone about a week or two ago ended up going with EV's humming version of "Guaranteed."

    You could also check out the Bumpin' Uglies thread... :D
  • Save You, or Hail Hail
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."

    im getting married next week, september 20th, and we're going to be playing picture in a frame as our last dance. We wrestled with the thought of thin air as our first song, but we decided on Open Window by Sarah Harmer as or first dance.
    I hope you have a great wedding!!!

    AWW! Congrats on the upcoming wedding!! :) I've always thought that Forever by Ben Harper would be the PERFECT wedding song.

    Not talking about a year , no not three of four
    I don't want that kind of forever in my life any more
    forever allways seem to be around when things begin
    but , forever never seems to be around when things end
    (ch)
    So give me your forever
    please your forever
    not another day less will do
    from you

    People spend so much of there time every single day
    running 'round all over town giving there forever away
    but no ,not me i won't let my for ever roam
    and now i hope that i can find my forever a home
    (ch)
    like a handless clockwith numbers on an infinte of time
    no not the forever found only in the mind
    forever allways seems to be around when things begin
    but forever never seems to be around when things end

  • My wife and I left the reception to a live version of "Untitled"

    Paraphrasing it

    I got a car, I've got some gas
    oh let's get out of here
    get out of here fast
    let's go the ocean road
    where everyone goes
    if i go, i dont want
    to go alone

    I hope you get this message
    or you're not home
    I could've been there
    15 minutes ago
    no need to pack
    we make it up as we go along
    if i go i dont want
    to go alone ... with you I could never be alone
  • a friend of mine got married, and hes wife walked down the isle to 'soldier of love' .. it was weird at the time but people liked it
    ..how did it come to this?
  • Low Light-Stone wrote it for his wife.
    You Are-Matt wrote it for his wife.
    Lukin-Eddie wrote it about his stalker.
  • Low Light-Stone wrote it for his wife.
    You Are-Matt wrote it for his wife.
    Lukin-Eddie wrote it about his stalker.


    i'm going to get in the great debate here, but I'm pretty sure Low Light is Jeff's song,

    I think you want to reference Thin Air here
    'I'm like an opening band for the sun'
  • Yea "Low Light" is a response to "Pilate". Jeff wrote both.

    But we're using "Low Light" as our first dance and on our montage video. I'm going to slow it down a few BPM though but it's always been our #1 PJ song.
