Help My One Wedding Job.

[Trem]

So my only job to do for the wedding besides turn up is to find 4 songs to be played. 1 as the guests wait, 1 as Samm walks in, 1 as we sign the thingy and 1 as we leave.

My suggestions so far have not been met with approval, I wanted Aerosmith Dude Looks Like A Lady for when she walks in and Van Halens Jump for when we sign the pre divorce thing.

We don't like shit like Celine Dion or owt like that or I guess traditional sloppy bullshit like Candle in the Wind or something.

We both love Pearl Jam, Counting Crows and basically anything along them lines but I am coming to a dead end even finding 1 tune.

So fellow Freddys this is your chance to be a part of something quite big in my life, feel free to suggest anything at all not strictly related to the music we like, hell if I had never took a chance on Aereogramme I would of never heard them so suggest anything.

Appreciate any ideas on this.

Ta luvs.

 

[Mabs]

and whats wrong with the traditional music available ?

 

[Tom]

I suggest this for the 'waiting' music:

YouTube - The The - Infected - Out of the Blue (Into the Fire)

 

[Trem]

Great song and band Tom but not really apt

Would love Pearl Jam Oceans at some stage but can't place it.

YouTube - Pearl Jam - Oceans

Thinking of the Fray Look After You for somewhere as well

YouTube - (The Fray) Look After You - Clana

 

[nath]

1 as Samm walks in

YouTube - aphex twin - come to daddy

Sorted.

 

[Damini]

Well, this is a fairly obvious choice for me for when you sign, or when you leave...


YouTube - PEARL JAM - LOVE REIGN OVER ME

For when Sam walks in...

YouTube - the reason

Or alternatively (maybe a bit cheesy, but I like it)

YouTube - Toploader - Achilles Heel

 

[mank!]

1 as the guests wait, 1 as Samm walks in, 1 as we sign the thingy and 1 as we leave.

YouTube - Sea of Love by Cat Power (Acoustic Version)

or anything else off the juno soundtrack...

 

[TdC]

mank is correct.

 

[Kryten]

Not sure for yourself but at our wedding we had Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell played on the way out and Queens' A Kind of Magic on the way in. We were only just about allowed the first one as 1 month previous to getting marraige they finally scrapped the daft rule that said you were not allowed music with religious meanings - so no Robbie Williams' Angels, George Michael, Faith etc.

 

[mank!]

mank is correct.

trem and samm should blatantly do this at the altar

YouTube - Anyone Else But You - Michael Cera and Ellen Page

 

[bob269]

Snow Patrol's Run is a fav of mine, Prolly not appropriate tho.

Also Radiohead Exit Music (For A Film)

Maybe Our Lady Peace - Bring Back The Sun

 

[Trem]

I like Our Lady Peace will have a listen.

Also Samm loves Juno so I will sniff that soundtrack out.

Keep 'em coming.

A high possibility of 1 is Elbow Starlings and maybe Newborn especially for the first line 'I'll be the corpse in your bath tub......useless'

 

[bob269]

It's probably best to go for something easy on the ears for the guests waiting, something like Moby.

Something off his Animal Rights album then?

 

[bob269]

Something off his Animal Rights album then?

Lol, "Face it" was going thru my mind when i suggested it, altho something off the Play album would be more appropriate

 

[Himse]

YouTube - Cannibal Corpse - "Make Them Suffer" Metal Blade Records

 

[ECA]

1 as the guests wait,

YouTube - waiting - Green Day - music video

or

YouTube - ELLEGARDEN Marry Me

1 as Samm walks in,

YouTube - Don't Stop Me Now


1 as we sign the thingy


um lost here tbh.


and 1 as we leave.

YouTube - Michael Jackson - Beat It

 

[Trem]

A positive developement as far as my humour goes.

Samm has agreed to Van Halen Jump as we leave

So we need 3 more and none of them can be bloody Michael Jackson, Evil Cow

Greenday has me thinking though, Time of Your Life maybe.

Divorce imo

Basket Case maybe?

 

[leviathane]

hehe how bout this?

YouTube - M.I.A. PAPER PLANES official video

 

[dysfunction]

Guns n Roses Sweet Child of Mine.

YouTube - Guns.N.Roses-Sweet Child O'Mine

Rolling Stones You start me up

YouTube - Start Me Up - The Rolling Stones (HQ Audio)

 

[bob269]

I take it you wont be playing the full 4-6mins of the chosen song but just an epic portion of it (unless you choose Blur's Song 2 in which case probably all of it)?

Also, if you are burning your own cd don't forget to normalize the tracks to avoid any nasty surprises

 

[Overdriven]

Waiting music:

Metallica - Orion

YouTube - METALLICA - ORION(STUDIO VERSION)

 

[Aoami]

YouTube - Bright Eyes - "First Day of My Life"

Perhaps a bit cheesey but might fit in somewhere!

 

[leviathane]

Could always go for the delightful Soulfly with jump da fck up.

 

[elisera]

We are having the same problem for our wedding Trem..

As we are both into Rock/Metal it is hard to find something of a compromise..

The only good thing is alot of bands now produce acoustic versions of tracks so we will probably have a bit of Nightwish, some Green Day and some Foo Fighters (Everlong acoustic is really good)

 

[Tom]

YouTube - Pink Floyd - Bike

This would make an excellent bit of music to leave to

 

[mank!]

YouTube - Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up

YouTube - Wilco - California Stars
(ignore the video)

 

[bob269]

How about a bit of classic Elbow?


Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes
In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles

Bring that minute back
We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins
I share it all with you
Powder blue

Stumble through the crowds together
They're trying to ignore us. That's o.k.
I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin
Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed
In our sin

Bring that minute back
We never get so close to death
Makes you so alive
I share it all with you
Powder blue
