I don't know too many Stevie songs that could go as wedding songs. I know Landslide is picked a lot, especially for the father-daughter dance. Leather and Lace might be ok if the bride and groom are kind of opposites of each other. I was also thinking of Love Is, and although not many people like the song, Unconditional Love. Rooms on Fire might make a good song. But, I don't see how Beauty and the Beast is very fitting as a wedding song...unless you wanna call your husband/wife a "beast." I think, for comedy purposes, it would be fun to play Whole Lotta Trouble as your wedding song. On a side note of that, when my sister was engaged to this guy I didn't really like, I said I was going to sing at her wedding: "Has she lost her mind, can she see or is she blind..." the Black Sabbath song, just those lines though. Then, I'd play Whole Lotta Trouble as a dedication.

The more I think about it, the more I like Rooms on Fire as a wedding song.

"Unconditional Love" is a great suggestion, Sorcerer.... and I'd add "Sleeping Angel" to the list.

For me, that's Stevie most romantic song.

In yesterday's edition of the NY Daily News, there was a little story on a couple who recently got married.. this is a weekly thing that the paper does every Sunday. Anyway, as I was reading the color scheme and the honeymoon location.. I came across their wedding song. How cool I thought it was that one of their songs was Leather and Lace.

My friend Karen DID use "Leather & Lace" as her first-dance song at her wedding. I think I'd use that second, and Stevie's verson of "At Last" first, that song has always been one of my all-time faves and Stevie singing it just gives it that special touch.

I totally agree Johnny, I think that too. I would choose that one as a wedding song as well. I think these lyrics work great for a lasting marriage (a RARITY these days.

):

"Well, someday when we're older
And my hair is silver gray
A braid with all of the love that you have
Like a soft silver chain"

On the sleeping angle thing I wouldnt use it for a wedding the lyrics are great but the song has kind of a sad sound stevie sounds kindof like shes crying whenshes singing it. plus I have the whole Fast Times... Associtaion with that song. Great song but not a song that i would play to dance with to the person I am about to spent the rest of my life with. but thats not a factor for at least 10 years as im still just a soph in HS.

I think that I would choose 'Bleed to Love Her' or 'Crystal' at mine...'Sweet Girl' is another that comes to mind since I'm a music major, but if I'm getting married, then it does kind of reject the underlying theme of the song. But ultimatly, it comes down to what me and my intended agree on. And since she is more of a Audio Adrenaline fan than Mac, I don't know how it would turn out...although, I am slowly turning her...

Audio Adrenaline ROCK!! I have their second album, Don't Censor Me...love it!!

Although, DC Talk is my fave Christian group.

Hey, I like Audio A too, just that the Mac is above them and I'm showing her more of my music styles...speaking of which, I must recommend a group called Stratovarius and their song Anthem of the World...it is pretty cool...melodic rock-metal...only downside is the vocalist likes the high notes too much...

Sounds cool to me, I'll try to check it out!! I hate that high notes line tho because I was just saying today how I didn't like Mariah Carey's new song because she sings it high the whole time...but still, I will check it out!! Thanks man!

Another thing you may want to check out is the video to Hunting High and Low. It has a really great theme and it shows the outrageous drummer and guitarist. The guy is HUGE!!!

wondergirl9847 · #27 10-23-2002, 07:44 PM

Hunting High and Low?? That is an A-Ha song...is it a cover? I LOVE A-HA and that song/album!! Where do I find this video? Kaaza or Launch.com?

MikeD · #28 10-24-2002, 09:04 AM

It's not a cover, but it has a rather similar theme. Basically, The video is about a Coporate Exec realizing that he doesn't have what he wanted in life and begins looking for it. I found my version on Kaaza because all of the ones on personal websites had been pulled.

wondergirl9847 · #29 10-24-2002, 06:19 PM

Thanks for the info, Mike!!

Sounds cool!

Do I have permission to blush? This is probably the most favorable response I've had from my eclectic music tastes in a while. And to think this sprung from a discussion on songs for weddings...a subject that I used to avoid a lot. Man, The Mac has some strange influence...
