What are everyone's first dance songs?

Polkadots_and_Pincurls, 15 July, 2010 at 12:56 Posted on Planning 0 92

I wanted to start a light-hearted post, as I can see a lot of you are having a stressful time atm. Oh dear, what I have to look forward to!

Even though I'm nowhere near wedding stage yet, himself and I have always said that our first dance would be to 'our' song - In Your Arms by The Last Goodnight.

(Btw, if you haven't heard it- it's not very well known- and you've the time, Youtube it, it's beautiful.)

What's everyone else's going to be?

    I think it is Natty... "Where ever you go, what ever you do, I will be right here waiting for you"... or something along those lines. Still a nice song tho.

    ETA... We are having " One day like this " by Elbow... Love it Love it!

    We are kind of leaning towards 'At Last' at the moment, The Beyonce version as opposed to the orginal Etta James one. It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.

    It sums up our relationship nicely, having both had a serious of nightmare relationships and getting married in our late 30's /early 40's sums things up really well!

    Natty - I think it is a break up song, yeah. It is very nice though, I must say.

    Trixylou - that is beautiful! Have you heard Feels Like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk? I think you'd like that too.

    We're having The Calling, 'Wherever you Will go', which starts with 'so lately, been wondering, who will be there to take my place, when i'm gone, you'll need love to light the shadows on your face'. Not the cheeriest of starts but it's always been our song (even before we actually got together) so i wouldnt choose anything else. On the plus side the chorus is a bit better but im not sure how il be ablle to stop myself crying when it starts, the guitar bit at the beginning always sets me off. I think as long as it means something to the both of you it doesn't really make a difference what the words are (unless its something totally inappropriate like ' a quick one when he's away' or something ?

    We're having Chasing Cars too- I think. It's taken us ages to decide as we don't really have "a song" (nothing appropriate for a first dance anyway!) but this song reminds us of when we were travelling around the world together (it was played at least 6 times a day, everywhere!) so it's the only one we could come up with that had both lovely words and some meaning to us.

    Ptoldriver, I think you're absolutely right - one of the lines in our song is 'I had no idea that we would die today' - bit odd, but the rest of the words are just beautiful.

    PMSL at the 'quick one' line, lol! You should be a song writer, deffo!

    That song actually exists! It's by The Who, just had a look at some of the lyrics

    "I missed you and I must admit
    I kissed a few and once did sit
    On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
    And later with him, had a nap"

    i'm now sat at my desk giggling ?

    We're struggling to choose our first dance, our choices are Michael Buble - Everything (we said this woudl be our first dance when we got engaged), The Style Council - You're The Best Thing (both me and OH have had bad relationships in the past and are big Paul Weller fans) or Hoobastank - The Reason (it's our song and we always fo it on Singstar)

    I love Adele - Make You Feel My Love, we're having this when we're signing the register, the first bar of music always has me in tears x

    My other half wants Jack Johnson - Better Together which I like but it's hard to dance to.

    Loving Chantal Kreviazuk... in fact the whole Dawsons Creek Soundtrack is great!
