Fleetwood / Stevie wedding song

[cristochango]

what would be a good wedding song for the first dance

[LikeAWillow]

I think out of Fleetwood Mac songs, Crystal would make a nice choice. From Stevie songs, Leather and Lace.

Stevie's performance of "At Last"

[thatgirlwasme]

My husband and I recently danced to "Songbird" as our last dance at our wedding. I know it's not a Stevie song, but I thought since FM used it to close their shows we could use it to close our wedding. It was nice!

I agree that "At Last" would be nice. Stevie songs are hard as there are not many wedding-y ones.

Aww, cute!

Yep, I agree - it's hard to find good Stevie songs that are all happy and let's-start-a-life-together... they're pretty much all about sadness/heartache.

"At Last" would be good though - I love Stevie's version! Powerful vocals!!

Crystal was our wedding song. :)

Congratulations! That's a great choice.

[BellaDonna]

Me & my husband got married last June and we had "Leather and Lace" as our song. :xoxo: I would have loved to have had "Crystal" too, but it just didn't happen.

[daniellaaarisen]

It's decided.

I do not care what my future husband says-- "Crystal" IS my wedding song, without a doubt. :)

Lyrics

Well I was sitting down talking to myself again
I pick up the phone you're on the other end
Sometimes to talk to you is all I need
To make me feel at home again
We can talk away the time like it was yesterday
You make me feel like I feel when I sit down and play


*And I understand it's not how we planned
But we'll make it
Just call me inspiration
I remember your voice at the station
You whispered to me at the station
Just call me inspiration


And you put down the phone I feel so alone
Sometimes I just can't stand it
But it's all worthwhile when I see that smile
I feel like I'm up a mile high


*Repeat


We'll these past few weeks I've had time to remember
Those times we spent together


The days we just decided to stay inside
To be with one another
And those times they mean so much to me
And you have to know how much you mean to me
And I really really want you to be with me
Cause I love you


*Repeat


Just call me inspiration
Just call me inspiration

I think this might be the only song close enough to be a wedding song only because of the end of it.

:laugh: Me too, me too!!!

"I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love... that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew... in the crystalline knowledge of you"

^If that isn't perfectly suitable then I don't know what is!

Now that we're planning future weddings (lol)... would you use Buckingham Nicks version of the song or the version on the white album with FM?? I haven't decided that part yet. :p

White album version, for sure. Something about my wedding has to be white.


:eek:

The part of Crystal that (still!) makes me tear up and cinched it for both of us:


How the faces of love have changed turning
the pages
And I have changed oh, but you...you remain
ageless

I always thought this song would be a great closer for a concert.

[goldustsongbird]

:eek:

lol irl. :D

[Lala]

Crystal and Without You are really the only two songs I can think of that are positive about love. I'd like to incorporate both into my wedding one day...

And I thought I was the only one!!! My wife and I used "Songbird" as the last dance at our wedding as well. That was almost 11 years ago, but hey, what the hell!!:thumbsup:

[sjpdg]

Now I originally thought this thread was about what song should be played at a wedding of Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks!!!!! LOL!!!!!

So, my vote would be "Beauty and the Beast"!!!! :-)

[cbBen]

How about Unconditional Love? She didn't write it but it's on her Street Angel album.

[dclick]

My wife & I danced to the old Mac song "Need Your Love So Bad". We're still together 18 years later!

[daniellaaarisen]

I think I'd do the Buckingham Nicks version-- unfiltrated, soft, pure.. I donno. I'm really into the symbolism of everything and I love the idea of the original "Crystal" being THEIR song and not Fleetwood Mac's... the band that made and broke them simultaneously. Yes, I think these type of things through WAY too deeply... but the purity of it amazes me.

"Songbird" would be a great closer.

[Chrislit18]

Although it's not a Stevie song, I plan on having Mystified as my wedding song. Idgaf what my future husband says-but at the rate I'm going, I've been successful at turning guys into FM...haha

but if you pick Crystal, I agree in that B/N is wayy superior to the White Album version.

Otther Mac (not necessarily Stevie) songs:
Warm Ways (maybe)
Songbird (although I'd never consider it)
Wish You Were Here (odd but I like it)

and as for Stevie:
leather and lace
I sing for the things (again odd-but I like it)
sleeping Angel

overall there's a meager amount of good wedding songs from Stevie/Mac. Many of stevies songs have to do with longing or losing- and if I found a love, I couldn't see using a song like that at my wedding. But the ones listed may be pretty good :)

Why did you list a song to play at your wedding if you said you'd never consider it? I'm confused. And how the heck are you? How are you spending your Summer? Enjoying all the rain we've been getting?

[Chrislit18]

Well I figured many others listed it. I think tr only reason I wouldn't want it is b/c of Tom cruise and Katie holmes using it lol.

OT: my summer is going good. A lot of hanging out, card playing, movies, and malls. Yeah rain sucks lol. How bout you Vivfox?

I have been working harder at advancing my career and spending money on myself and my family. I've been getting an hour long massage once a week since April. The rain doesn't bother me all that much cause I have a million hobbies to keep myself busy indoors and I love being on my computer. I had to use other peoples computers for 9 months as mine was not working. Then when I finally saved up enough paper, I got it fixed and I'm hooked on it like a drug. I've been burning tons of CD's, clearing out my computer. Luckily for me NONE of my files were destroyed, unlike what has happened to a lot of Ledgies.

It's decided.

Quite the strong statement there!!:p

[golddustdrummer]

I already have my heart set on "Leather and Lace"

picking a song is easy.
finding a guy I actually want to spend the rest of my life with...not so much.

I hear you there...

Leather and Lace is a great pick.

[daniellaaarisen]

Since I'm kinda against the marital thing to begin with, any potential husband of mine will know better than to mess with the little decisions.... like wedding songs, kids names...

:)

[LikeAWillow]

:)

You know, the small stuff :laugh:

[Mad4stevie]

I danced to "At Last" for my first dance and "Landslide" for the father/daughter dance. It was perfect!!

[softsilverchain]

Our first song was Leather and Lace and we also had the last song be Songbird... however the dj decided to play AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long right after Songbird.

Ahahaha... that kind of kills the sweet, soft Songbird. Oh well.

[blemelin]

When my friend, Gina, got married, she had me perform Landslide when the mothers were escorted to the front of the church. Everyone found it quite moving. Of course, the mamas teared up quite a bit. All that business about children getting older...

[steviefan99]

I walked down the isle recently to songbird played on piano.

Also father/daughter danced to Landslide :)

haha mine are already picked out too.
my mom can't wait to have grandkids...but for now she will just have to make due with a grandcat named Deuce.
He goes by Dootie and calls her Meemaws.

(at this rate, I'll just be the crazy cat lady forever! lol)

I walked down the aisle to Songbird too, instrumental. My first dance was At Last, but used the original version (husband owes me a do-over!) One of our last played songs was Never Forget. My Mom used Leather & Lace as her first dance song.

[gypsy4life]

..when I get married...it WILL be Crystal!!!

[mylittledemon]

what would be a good wedding song for the first dance

My wife and I didn't dance to any Fleetwood Mac songs... but while the band wasn't playing we did have "Stephanie" (Buckingham Nicks) on the iPod playing over the PA... and I believe the SYW version of "Bleed to Love Her" and I *think* Say You Love Me might have been on there, too. ;)

[mylittledemon]

PS...Haha, wife just reminded me that Stevie Nicks' version of "At Last" was on there too! :D

[LukeA]

Who gets married anymore? ;)

[cbBen]

Crystal
Without You
and yes... Candlebright

I'd include Frozen Love but for that one line: "You are not happy but what is love?"

What a tormented young soul must Lindsey have been, to be unhappy even with a life of love and music with Stevie Nicks circa 1972. A thing of rare beauty, but of even rarer talent.

[MoonWaterPoet]

About 5 years ago I made a 'Wedding Song' cd for one of my sisters who got married then... The Stevie related songs I put on the cd were:

"Magnet & Steel" ~ Walter Egan & Stevie Nicks
"Leather & Lace" ~ Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
"Whenever I Call You Friend" ~ Kenny Loggins & Stevie Nicks
"At Last" ~ Stevie Nicks
"Sleeping Angel" ~ Stevie Nicks


Donnie Wayne ~

[paleshadow]

"As Long As You Follow" would be a nice choice.

[cbBen]

Without You (Coffee Plant demo) is the #1 song for this occasion.
Leather & Lace is great, but please with Henley's verse edited out -- and the acoustic guitar demo is the one


And how about Sisters Of The Moon? Isn't that song more or less about soul mating?

[silvasprings]

I know this probably sounds insane but how about a totally non-wedding wedding, i'm thinking I can't wait for walking down the aisle...
Can't you see it... it would be all dramatic and 80's like the beginning of the video..lol
Obviously my future wife (thats if i find one) will not agree with this,

But I want a totally corny 80's wedding lol, perhaps we could chuck in some billy idol...?
