making wedding cd...need track suggestions
so far i've got:
1. Fly me to the moon (our song) 2. Sunshine of my life (me and mom) 3. Lullaby - Billy joel (bride and f.o.b.) that's where i'm at. We'd really like a song by elliott smith, since he's our favorite artist, but has he written any songs about love that have a happy ending? here are our other ideas for bands that belong on the cd: Elvis Costello Neil Young Beatles Rush Chicago Hall n' Oates (cheese, please) Journey (more cheese) Doors Hawaiian song (that's where we'll be going) thanks for your help! |
Bon Jovi - Thank You For Loving Me
|
K-Ci & JoJo - "All My Life"
|
U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For :p
Seriously, Preston Smith - Oh, I Love You So (from the "Cocktail" Soundtrack) |
"By your Side" - Sade
-k ### |
U2 - "Drowning Man" (seriously)
Noel Paul Stookey - "There is Love (Wedding Song)" (but good luck finding it on disc . . .) |
Lonestar - Amazed (it was my wedding song!)
|
we just did this as our favor.
We used the first dance song. Then the two parent dances, which I still haven't stopped receiving compliments on the Father-daughter dance, nobody heard of it before our wedding. Even my cousing used it just three weeks later after hearing it. It was "My Little Girl" Steve Kinvan sings it, but Gloria something wrote it. You can hear the whole song at www.imadj.com just click on my wedding, song suggestions, parent dances. I think it's the first one. Anyway for the rest of the songs we let the parents choose a love song, and we chose one (Frank Valli "Cant take my eyes off of you). Then had the each member of the wedding pary choose a love song. We then made a nice cover, and had the track listing with the person that chose the song. Some were: The Beatles "all you need is love" Etta James "At Last" Selena ? Bryan Adams "everything I do" Alan Jackson Neil Diamond "Hello Again" Elvis "Blue Hawaii" (her parent's pick, and we also went there for our honeymoon). I'll look up the whole track listing later if you want when I get home. Which islands are you going to? By far our highlight of the trip was doing the bike ride down the volcano on Maui on the sunrise tour. |
Honestly - Stryper
Your Everything - Keith Urban |
Neil Young - Harvest Moon
Chicago - Your the Inspiration Journey - Open Arms |
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (Elevator Version). Great alternate version of this song, with full orchestra (Note, this is not the S&M version with the San Francisco Symphony, it was released as a B-Side to one of their singles years ago).

By far our highlight of the trip was doing the bike ride down the volcano on Maui on the sunrise tour. i've got about 30 minutes of songs so far, and wouldn't mind seeing what else you had on your cd. i'll definitely look into 'blue hawaii' and use 'all you need is love'. We're going to Maui and Kuaui. Looking forward to it. The wedding's two months from today! Here's what i've got so far: 1. The simpson's theme (we're going to have a band play the theme and substitute our name for it). 2. Fly me to the moon - Sinatra (our song) 3. Lullaby - Billy joel 4. Sunshine of my life - Stevie 5. Tomorrow Tomorrow - Elliott Smith 6. Funkytown! (it can't be all mushy gushy) 7. Pump it Up - Elvis Costello (needs a little rock and roll) 8. Beginnings - Chicago 9. Tiny Bubbles - our hawaii homage |
