Now I'm thinking 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica


But I might use a string quartet version of that during the ceremony for me to walk down the aisle to..

THANK GOODNESS I have plenty of time to decide on the music!

That is the song we are using :)

There is a version by Bif Naked that is a bit more soft, and not as harsh if you want to look into that.

Thanks! I'm going to look into that!!

We mostly like a lot of metal so choosing a song to slow dance to has been slightly difficult. He's more metal I'm more into old school goth music but love metal too.

Thanks Girls! I going to each one tonight!!



even if you don't have a 'song', do you have a certain artist that you guys really like? the song we picked wasn't technically 'our song', but we went through all of the artists albums till we found one that was perfect.

Use a Cradle of Filth song!

Yeah, I couldn't see us dancing to something like Celine Dion. I want to be very different. =D

Re: First Dance Songs

Your Everything by Keith Urban

The first time I looked
In your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched
My face I felt
What I'd never felt with anyone else

I want to give back what
You've given to me
And I want to witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me
Who I really am
I wanna be more than just your man

CHORUS
I wanna be the wind that fills your sail
Be the hand that lifts your veil
Be the moon that moves your tides
The sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of
And more...so much more
I wanna be your everything

When you wake up
I'll be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark
You can reach out to me
I'll cherish your words
I'll finish your thoughts
I'll be your compass, baby
When you get lost

CHORUS

I'll be the wheel that never rusts
Be the spark that lights you up
All that you've been dreaming of
And more...so much more
I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything

Re: First Dance Songs

I am having Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse

I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me

Chorus:
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) we know that we will be together because our love is strong

How about All of My Love - Led Zepplin
It's slow but still has that intensity of metal....

I LOVE THIS SONG...we saw them perform it at Rocklahoma last year!! I cried.. I would love to have this song...but FH refuses to use an 80's power ballad since all of our friends make fun of us for LOVING the HAIR BANDS! HAHA!!!

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Re: First Dance Songs

So I'm obsessed with Bon Jovi. The only question was which Bon Jovi song I was going have. I tried to find his version of Can't Help Falling In Love but I could only find clips of it, I don't think he ever actually sings the whole thing. Then last year, long before I was engaged I found this song and couldn't stop crying. I knew it was 'The One' as soon as I watched the video on you tube. You guys have to see the video

All About Loving You lyrics

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes

[Chorus:]
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way

[Chorus:]
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

You can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus:]
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

All about lovin' you

cradle of filth's her ghost in the fog! lol i could just picture FH and I dancing to that!! I was thinking the cure's love song, Smashing Pumpkins' Today or Goo Goo Dolls' Iris

Re: First Dance Songs

Smashing Pumpkins 'Today' is a great song for a wedding. I wanted to come out to that, but FH wanted Social D, and I am just head over heels for Mike Ness...*Drools*.

We should make a rocker brides thread lol

Re: First Dance Songs

i'm leaning towards Van Morrison -- Someone Like You


Ive been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
Ive been travelling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. someone exactly
Like you.


Ive been travellin a hard road
Lookin for someone exactly like you
Ive been carryin my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come
Shining through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. someone exactly
Like you.


Ive been doin some soul searching
To find out where youre at
Ive been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you... etc.


Ive been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different
Drum.
But just lately I have
Realised
The best is yet to come.
Someone like you... etc.

Re: First Dance Songs

that would be awesome!!! lol we could all share music and stuff and it will be helpful! for us to get a better idea of a first dance that's driving me crazy since i didn't want anything that slow cause FH is 6'1'' and I am 5 even lol

Re: First Dance Songs

Just the way you are-Billy Joel.

I'm not a fan, but FH is. Poor guy has to get SOMETHING he wants out of this wedding.

Feels Like Home - Chantal Kreviazuk

'Feels Like Home'

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong



I first heard that on Dawson's Creek. I was going to use that as my wedding song but my sister laid claim to it first.

Re: First Dance Songs

I let FH pick the song...we both love old school R&B .. he chose Truly - Lionel Richie (which I love) he said the words were just so true for him..

I'm going to dedicate a special song to him later in the evening....
