Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

My recap song was our first dance song (Amazed). Could you use yours as the recap?

Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

Use your first dance song for recap...

Like bearsbabe, we used our first dance song, which was 'At Last' by Etta James, as our recap song for our video. That was at the suggestion of the studio.
Here's some songs for you to consider:
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Could Not Ask for More - Edwin McCain
Someone Like You - Van Morrison

I am usually good at suggesting music, but for some reason, I can't think of anymore right now.
I'll think about it and post later - good luck!

We're using 'No more lonely nights' by Paul McCartney (Wings). It's a really pretty song and great for McCartney fans!

Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

Those were all really good suggestions. If you want something dramatic, you can you use The First Time Ever I saw Your Face - or if you want something more whimpsical -- 'Waste' by Phish can be really nice

Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

How about 'Grow Old Along with Me' or 'A Kiss to Build a Dream On' or 'L-O-V-E'. I also like someone else's respose of 'What a Wonderful World'

Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

i would use our first song for recap but then we will hear it twice... you know what I mean, the whole first dance will be on video and the song will be played there, the guy at cassarinos said people usually pic a diff song b/c the first song is on the video
I dont know but keep the suggestions coming
now I might lean toward, could not ask for more... by edwin mccain
I have that on my dj list
but keep posting :) I will let you know what I decide

'Ooh I love you' by the Climax Blues Band

'By Your Side' Sade

'Crazy Love' Van Morrison -- or there's a great remake off the 'She's Having a Baby' Soundtrack by Bryan Ferry that's amazing

Manhattans - 'Shining Star'
Bruce Hornsby & The Range - 'Every Little Kiss'
Harry Connick Jr. - 'With A Wink And A Smile'
Jennifer Day - 'Completely'

Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

Just FYI, the one vidoegrapher i met with said to pickthe longest song possible so you get more footage in the recap.

Re: what do you guys think of....

i went w/ all I have as the recap
its kinda long and has beautiful words and for a recap the beginning part is perfect for ceremony footage b/c it goes.....

you can say you love me, and Ill believe its true
trusting you is easy , cause I believe in you
there is nothing I would miss as long as were in love like this, all I have is all I need and it all comes down to you and me
how far away this world becomes in the harbour of each others arms

its really pretty
thanks for all the suggestions though, if I didnt pick that it would have been could not ask for me by edwin mccain
my close second

Re: what do you guys think of....

Also consider an instrumental song. Sometimes an instrumental song makes a more powerful impact

Re: help!!! need my recap song for the video

What about 'In My Life' by the Beatles? Could be nice if the recap includes lots of faces of love ones, etc? I also LOVE the song 'The Luckiest' by Ben Folds Five.
