Song (lyrics) suggestions for my wedding...
I'm getting married in June and I got the green light to have some lyrics of a PJ song be one of the readings during the ceremony (granted the boss like it, of course). I thought about Hail Hail, but I already know the lyrics aren't "pretty enough" for her. Any suggestions?
BTW, she ok'd "picture in a frame" as our first dance song. I just wanted to share that because I'm pretty stoked about it.

I kid (maybe).
Uh, how about "Just Breathe"?
"I would have fallen from the sky 'til you, parachutes have opened now"
"Wish the world could go again with love, one can seem to have it all...what a different life had I not found this love with you"
No time to be void, or save up on life, you've got to spend it all
That part's great, it's the egg rolling and stuff I don't think she'd like. Just breathe might work, I was hoping for something a little more obscure though.
That's a good one that I hadn't thought about. Thanks!
To say the song is "about death" is not really accurate. It's about living. And it's definitely a love song. Sure, death is mentioned in the song, but not in the sense that it's something that's impending.
Hell, when Ed played the song in St. Louis, he dedicated it to a couple who were about to have their first baby and he told a story about the birth of his first daughter.
"Hold me 'til I die" isn't all that different from "'til death do us part."
YMMV.
This broken wheel is coming undone
And the roads exploding
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you,...
Love is a tower
And you're the key
Leading me higher
When you let me in
Keeping us close,... so close
On down the line
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you
You are a tower of
Strength to me
The darkening hour
Sees light again
Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah
Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are... you are
Love is a tower
Of strength to me
I am the shoreline
But you're the sea
You are.

Just kidding Congrats
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Na na na na na na
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
Na na na na na na
CHORUS:
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
repeat chorus

Love can keep on moving,... in both directions...
How to be happy and true...
Is the quest we're taking on together...
There's a light,... when my baby's in my arms...
And I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air
Yes I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air
Or Amongst the Waves:
Once outside the undertow
Just you & me & nothing more
If not for love I would be drowning
I’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved
Gotta say it now
Better loud
Than too late
"So if you've got a heart and give it away, and someone breaks it, fuck 'em."
"Crazy but I'm relieved this time
Begging for sweet relief of blessing in disguise
Dying behind these tired eyes
I've been losing sleep, please come to me tonight
Hands on a miracle, I got my hands on a miracle
Leave it or not, hands on a miracle
And there ain't no way, let you take it away
Everything that we survived
Its gonna be alright, just lucky we're alive
Got no vision I've been blind
Searchin' everywhere, you're right here in my sights
Hands on a miracle, I got my hands on a miracle
Leave it or not, hands on a miracle
And there ain't no way, let you take it away
Hands on a miracle, I got my hands on a miracle
Leave it or not, hands on a miracle
I got my hands on a miracle
And there ain't no way, let you take it away
Take it away, take it

Gotta agree w this evolution person w the strange profile pic. If you think this song is appropriate for the beginning of a union aka marriage youve got to be kidding or youre just really "interesting". Ive been to some shows and ed as either dedicated it someone who lost someone or someone who almost did (cancer survivor). I am all about freedom of interpretation but this song doesnt hide much. Literal and metaphorical references to DEATH throughout. Maybe just breathe would be a good 25th or 50th anniversary song but a bit depressing for a wedding. Cmon man.
