Forced to switch song

I originally hired my soloist to sing 'Make me Whole' by Amel Larrieux during the lighting of the unity candle. We have searched everywhere and cannot find the background music to this song My DJ, who we are using for the ceremony and reception can't even find it. Anyone that's familiar with her music knows that she is more so an 'underground' artist. I spoke to my soloist today and she suggested the song 'for you i will' by Monica. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions are welcomed. Here are the lyrics...

For You I Will
Monica



Verse 1:
When your feeling lost in the night,
When you feel your world's just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough,
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better,
I'll be there to protect you,
See you through,
I'll be there and there is nothing
I won't do.

Chorus:
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will let you wait for all times
Promise you,
For you I will.

Verse 2:
I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No these arms won't let you down,
If there is a mountain to move
I'll move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe,
I'll stand beside you, all around

Chorus:
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon (yeah, yeah)
I will be your hero your strength
anything you need (I will be..)
I will be the sun in your sky
I will let you wait for all times
Promise you
For you I will

For you I will, lay my life on the line
For you I will find your heart
For you I will die
With every breathe, with all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me (put you're faith in me)
And I'll have to leave it be

I will cross the ocean for you (I will cross the ocean for you)
I will go and bring you the moon
Promise you (Promise you)
For you I will, I will, I will, I will,

I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need, (Anything you need)
I will be the sun in your sky (yeah, yeah)
I will let you wait for all times
Promise you (I promise you)
For you I will (Ooooh)
I promise you
For you I will

I only picked processional music and the recessional. Everything else is just talking.

That sux Andrea! Sorry for the added stress!!!

We are doing 'One Hand, One Heart', the theme song from A West Side Story (my fave movie). The words fit perfectly for the moment but it depends on whether or not you like that type of music.

Lyrics:

Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow:
Only death will part us now.

Make of our lives one life,
Day after day, one life.

Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart;
Even death won't part us now.



I know it sounds a bit redundant but it sounds beautiful!!!! HTH!

Yeah. I really want a solo done being that all of our music will be recorded. My soloist has the sheet music but not the background music

Re: Forced to switch song

you can always try to find someone who can make you an arrangement....even if you go into a local music store that has lessons, someone there may write music on the side. I know of someone who is able to do make an arrangement although I'd have to ask them first and I don't know what they'd charge. FM me if you're interested though.
