First dance song

autumnbelle · 08-04-2016 10:01PM #1

Hey just looking for a bit of inspiration, what was or will be your first dance song? I'm trying to pin down a song- we have a band with two guys in it with guitars and they will learn a song and sing it acoustic for us. I HATE dancing!!!ðŸ˜‚

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

We had If I should fall behind, Bruce Springstein
Heard on Ian Dempsey talking on today Fm this morning about Absolute Beginners- David Bowie as a 1st dance tune, that would have been class!

If you don't have a song that is special to you both, or even a song that's special to one of you then I would pick something that will be easy for you to shuffle around to for 4 minutes. Have I told you lately that I love you by rod Stewart should make everyone feel warm and squishy inside

I'm having Oasis- Stop Crying Your Heart Out. I don't have a bride yet, mind you, but she'll have to accept it. Or else pay for the band herself.

Someone like you by Van Morrison is very nice too
Read the lyrics of any song you pick first
Some songs sound romantic but they're actually far from it
Avoid Halelujia for example

I had Van Morrison 'some one like you' as my first dance i really liked it but i really wanted 'Lonestar Amazed' love that song however my band couldn't do it at the last minute. I was gutted it is a very romantic song.

Peter Gabriel, the book of love.

Have a listen to all of the words. It's beautiful and very fitting. That will either be the song I walk down the aisle to or our first dance.

sullivk · 08-04-2016 11:32PM

We had You're my Best Friend by Queen ðŸ˜Š

Cortina_MK_IV · 08-04-2016 11:41PM

I had Patience by Guns N' Roses. I wanted Used to Love Her (But I Had to Kill Her) (also Guns N' Roses) but the wife didn't agree.

That was my first dance!

Preset No.3 · 09-04-2016 01:10PM

I have said this before and I will say it again. First dance doesn't have to be I love you you love me etc!!!

For instance, my wedding tonight the couple are going with Love Inc - Superstar!!!!

That's their song and their choice!

What was playing on the radio before you went on your first date? Or the first kiss, maybe it's that big song from your first holiday.

Songs have different meanings to everybody. For instance I've play the Ellie Goulding version of how long will I love you as a first dance but I've also carried a coffin to that song.

We had wonderful tonight, tbh I'm quite proud of picking it out

TG1 · 09-04-2016 01:25PM

I know someone who had elbow - one day like this. Always thought that was a really lovely choice.

Epicbutterfly · 09-04-2016 01:28PM

Another favourite is Ray LaMontagne You are the Best Thing... Friend had it at their wedding last year... Great choice

It's easy to shuffle around too but it's a bit too morose tbh for me in that it's about Claptons chronic alcoholism

The last 3 weddings I have been to didn't have romantic-worded songs, they were songs that meant something to the couples. The last one I went to had a kings of leon song as that was the topic of conversation which brought the couple together on the night they met! Another wedding had "Happy Together" by the Turtles. Can't remember the last one but I remember thinking at the time of it playing that it was an unusual choice but worked well for the couple.

Or "Some girls are bigger than others" either. Includes the line "Some girls mothers are bigger then other girls mothers" . Legend.

HamsterFace · 09-04-2016 06:53PM

We're thinking of Little Trip to Heaven by Tom Waits but not sure if it'll be easy to dance to

If you hate dancing would you not just skip the first dance? We didn't do one at our wedding. I really like dancing, but I find that awkward shuffle in front of everyone that most first dances are painfully cringey, so we didn't bother with it!
