I was just wondering what the best "first dance" wedding songs you've heard or used. Some people use songs that they enjoyed as a couple, and then looking back a few years later at the tape, it seemed inappropriate and they wished they had chosen better. I'm looking for a great song for my wedding that has all the meaning in the words and one that most people (the parents and grandparents) will enjoy as it is a big day for them too.

Anything more than that you can remember ? Rock/dance/metal song? Group/solo female?

This is a long shot, but maybe it's "Sic Transit Gloria - Glory fades" by Brand New? Keep the noise low, she doesn't wanna blow it. She stripped from head to toe and then left him with his shoulder out. Go get your heartbeat. It beats me straight into the ground. You don't recover from a night like this. Our victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless. A hand moves in the dark to her zipper. And a boy best in tourniquet sheets barely whispers, "This is so messed up." Upon arrival the guests had all stared. Dripping wet and clearly depressed, he'd headed straight for the stairs. No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch, unprepared for a life filled with lies and failing relationships. (Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.) He keeps his hands low, he doesn't wanna blow it. He's wet from head to toe and his eyes give her the up and the down. His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up. Get the body on the bed like it's flowered and he starts going down. The people, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to settle. Die young and save yourself. They take all the taste out. It used to be the reason that we're even, now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself. She hits the lights. This doesn't seem quite fair. Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't feel so prepared. She's breathing quiet and smooth, he's gasping for air. "This is the first and last time", he said. She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels like. He is the lamb, she is the slaughter. She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her. Nothing that he touches is really having an effect. He whispers that he loves her, but she's probably only looking for... (Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing old.) So much more than he could ever give. A life full of lies and failing relationships. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He waits for it to end and for the aching in his guts to subside. The people, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to settle. Die young and save yourself. They take all the taste out. It used to be the reason that we're even, now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself. Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing old. The people, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to settle. Die young and save yourself. They take all the taste out. It used to be the reason that we're even, now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself.

Pure Shores - All Saints From the movie "The Beach"

Have you heard the song again? Or do you remember more lyrics? Anything?

They really are harmless - let them be. Certainly better than alot of other new acts out there...Rather have my kids listen to that than alot of the stuff I listen to

I'm afraid it's neither...

Nope, not Sweet Lullaby. It's going to drive me nuts though! ::

Moby - Play Coldplay - Parachutes Travis - The invisible band Incubus - Morning View Deftones - Around the fur Cafe Del Mar Volume 7

Thanks guys, but it's neither It's more dancy and upbeat, and there is a distinctive tune with bits of drums and bird sounds. It's such a good song and I've got a tiny bit on tape, but would like to find and purchase the MP3 or the album Sounds a bit like it could be Deep Forest. But I don't know.

I've been looking for this song for about 5 years now...it's a jungle/dance kinda track with drum beats, soothing kind of melody and rainforest bird sounds in the background in some bits. It's a very big long shot, but someone said they have heard it on a Buddha Bar album. Any ideas? There are no lyrics so I have no clue!!

"aha yeah yeah oowee alright, aha yeah yeah owee Yolanda...."

Run baby run by Sheryl Crow and Janie got a gun by Aerosmith come to mind.

Was it a dance track called "Yolanda"? I remember one around 95/96 by Reality. "Oh yeah, and by the way she's the best - Yolanda is fresh!"
