First dance song
Hey ladies,
FI and I are in the process of picking our first dance song. Music is very important to him. He's practically picking every song that the DJ will play (and I am only "allowed" 5 songs! - no biggie, music's his thing!).
So he always makes mixed cd's for me. He just made one with songs that he thinks would be good first dance songs. One of them is a Black Crowes song, his favorite band. And I love it, its called "Miracle to me" Here are the lyrics:
So come on off of your rooftop
Come on down to the street
Ive got something to tell you
Youre secret I will keep
Tell me why have you been crying
Why wont you look me in the eye
Im just trying to help you
I just need to know why
Please wont you let me try
Chorus:
Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, be my friend
Be a miracle to me
I want to sleep in your moonglow
In my mind youre smile I keep
Head over heels I go
Like a dream from a peaceful sleep
This time I know Im in deep
As you can see the first stanza sounds kinda like she is going to jump! I did live in an attic apartment before we moved in together! Other than that, its a beautiful song. Would that be horrible to dance to?
Don't be afraid to tell me if it is!
Thanks!

I believe the first dance is about you two. I am not fimilar with the song but if the music and lyrics speak to you, then that's all that matters.
My first dance song is not a typical choice either but it reminds me of when my FI proposed. I think the lyrics of your song seem appropriate.
I feel bad for all those people who use songs that are not about love at all like "every breath you take" by the Police or "this one goes out to the one I love" by REM.
I hope none of you were planning on using those two.
I just listened to it on Napster- it's nice! I don't really think anyone will read into the first verse, and the general meaning of the song is straight up sweet and passionate. It really is about love and being a miracle to someone... not like, as Sarah mentioned, EBYT is about a stalker, not about love :)
If you're planning to do a dance (not just the junior high shuffle, like most of us :)) make sure to practice- the time and tempo changes a couple times. It's also a little long (almost 5 minutes!)- think about if you're going to have anyone join you for the dance, or maybe fade out at an earlier part of the song.
It's a sweet song. Very touching and moving! It definately is a beautiful song so don't worry. And don't worry about what others might think because if it means something to you and your FI then that is all that should matter.
Hey I didn't know EBYT was about a stalker? Now when I hear it, it's going to creep me out.
I think Jay and I's first dance will be to Amazed by Lonestar. Our "song" is actually Bryan Adam's Heaven (we heard it right before we got married) but our first dance is to Amazed. I just fell in love with it when it came out and vowed that it was going to be the song I first dance to on my wedding day.
Not to Hijack the post, but We are doing Me and You by Kenny Chesney, which is a rather short song. I don't think I want the Bridal party joining in, but I don't think I want them to have a completely separate song. Is it ok to not have a bridal party dance? The DJ said I could make my decision up until the very last minute, but what do you think?
Absolutely you don't have to have a bridal party dance! We're not having one. Perhaps if all of our BP were involved with someone, we'd have them all dance with their significant others, but that doesn't work for us. I personally hate the awkward dances between the BP members. Plus, it's one less scheduled thing to take up time from the real fun :) Don't stress about it- and your BP will probably thank you!
SWEET! That is what I was thinking anyway, I can only think of one time I did not feel awkward during the BP dance! Thanks!
