Im getting married in 4 weeks and want to have a PJ song as our 1st dance. Its hard to find a song that would work. Any suggestions? I love "Come Back" but having a hard time convincing the future wife.

    Live (slow version) cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love".

    p.s. If you can't agree on a Pearl Jam song, she's probably not the one. Nice girl no doubt. Just not THE one.

    HArvest Moon Cover may be good choice. They played for a couple at Borgota who had just got married. Eddie brought them on stage.

    Rookie question: Where can the live version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" be found? Is it a boot?

    I am a die-hard fan and think come back is a terrible choice. Come on :).

    Agreed on Can't Help Falling in Love.

    But I'd personally go for Amongst the Waves. Then again, I've been married for 15 years :D
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I also think Come Back is a bad choice... It is, afterall, a song about losing someone.

    Yeah it's a pretty song but Come Back is practically like using Black.

    I guess Faithfull would be hard to dance to. :D

    I just got married and had "just Breathe" as our first dance. People loved it, so did we!

    Comeback is an awesome tune for a wedding, my friends first dance is to just breathe also an awesome tune. Its hard to depict what slow P.J song you should have as sometimes the message isn't always one of true happiness I mean I know alot of women who have listened to nothingman, said its a beautiful song and then cried. COMEBACK! DUDE!

    Surprised no one said Love Boat Captain. Then I'd say Thin Air and Just Breathe...

    Or if you don't like your spouse....Leash and Don't Gimme no Lip

    Definately Just Breathe or LBC!!! If I was the marrying type (which I am NOT) then those two songs would definately be played!!

    i got married in 2007 and had a hard time picking a Pearl Jam song . We went with a Ben Harper song called "Beloved One" Excellent song and very original. Been to lots of weddings and all play the same music.

    People who play Nothing Man at there wedding are idiots. Great Song love it to death but not intended for a wedding.

    Maybe this is ignorant, but what is Roskilde? I would like to know what LBC is about? I thought it was about love with a beautiful reference to The Beatles.

    I know LBC has a reference to Roskilde but I think as a whole the song is a love song.

    What about Love Reign o'er Me or You Are (two of my favourite songs - might be a bit too hard core for the oldies though)
    all you need is love, love is all you need
