    just ask ed to play your wedding... he owes you one

    He will for $50,000 per hour. At least that's what his agent quoted a friend of my wife's husband when he called seeing if he was available or willing to do it. hahahahahahaha

    really? I know who's playing at my wedding. ;)

    i still havent worked out why people want a song about fucking someone in the middle of the night for a booty call and never seeing them again as a wedding song.

    Is it about a booty call.....or does it just seem to be that way. Maybe it's about cherishing every second you have with someone because the next moment of life isnt guaranteed. That's how ive always thought of it. What does everyone else think?

    It makes me think of yawning and how mundane some songs are.

  • Its FINALLY In studio!

    I kinda of like the mystique that it was never recorded live and to be honest maybe i miss the sound of the screaming fans, but this studio version is really beautiful.

    I guess you can play it at your wedding now, but to be honest, i think i would still go for a live version.
  • Thanks everyone for posting about this. It's Jan 2016 and my hubby-to-be and I want to use this for our first dance! He's Australian, and I'm the huge PJ fan. It's such a meaningful thing that we can share! But I'm still not quite satisfied with the versions I've found. Thanks to those posting above. If anyone else has good ones besides where he duets with Neil and Mark... please help :)

    i still havent worked out why people want a song about fucking someone in the middle of the night for a booty call and never seeing them again as a wedding song.

    It's wedding song-ish if you don't listen to the lyrics, I guess. Because you're right, it's about a booty call.

    There is the studio version Ed recorded with Neil Finn for the album of H&C covers a couple of years ago. It's a good version as long as you don't mind that Neil sings the 2nd verse and some harmonies between the two of them. I debated this for my wedding song last year, but the now wife voted for Future Days instead...I was just happy she let PJ song be played!

    Song is definitely to me about love and intimacy and capturing a moment in time, not about a (Booty call). To me it is a very romantic song. The definitive original performance from St. Pete 94 still gives me goose bumps to this day.. So many great performances since then as well....

    Ed comments before that performance that it reminds him of summer...

    You will make me laugh and make me cry
    And we will never forget it
    You will make me call your name
    And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
    And we may never meet again
    So shed your skin and let's get started


    Some beautiful lyrics in my opinion... beautiful imagery...
