i'll be singing at a good friend's wedding, but i don't want it to be a typical song about the singer falling in love..
i need a nice slow-but-catchy and not too common song that is not in "I" or "Me"..
something like "what a wonderful world".. "somewhere over the rainbow"... but not these..=p
does anyone know any other song like that?

thanks in advance wub.gif

What about "The Prayer"? Seems to be very popular at weddings.

Sing the acoustic version of Everlong by Foo Fighters. Not a typical song like the ones you mentioned, and is actually pretty damn romantic. Here are the lyrics, and a link to an acoustic performance by the artist. I bolded the chorus, because it's the most moving part, lol! (The song is normally a lot faster.)


Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I've thrown myself into
And out of the red, out of her head, she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head, she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breath out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head, I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
Got to promise not to stop when I say when

Also, if you play guitar... here's a video that teaches you how to play this song.

Electric Slide. It's a stable at weddings. Don't go reinventing the wheel if you don't need to.
I won't bother since I won't read the rules and they won't accommodate.

Die alone, Morning Lullabies, The Way I am and You and I by Ingrid Michaelson =) (her voice makes the songs extra special, don't know how your voice is though lol)

I woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head.
Spackled some butter over my whole grain bread.
Something tastes different, maybe it's my tongue.
Something tatstes different, suddenly I'm not so young.

I'm just a stranger, even to myself.
A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.
Don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him.
Don't be a fool girl, you're not above him.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.


Kiss the boys as they walk by, call me their baby.
But little do they know, I'm just a maybe.
Maybe my baby will be the one to leave sore.
Maybe my baby will settle the score.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
now I know I can't love anyone but you.
but you make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

What have I become?
Something soft and really quite dumb.
Because I've fallen, oh, 'cause I've fall- fallen, oh 'cause I've fall-fall-fallen
So far away from the place where I started from.

I never thought I could love anyone.
I never thought I could love anyone.
I never thought I could love anyone.
But you....
But you....
But you....
But you....
But you .... but you ...make me think that maybe I won't
die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

Ingrid Michaelson- You and I
(<3 this song)



Don't you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do want bunnies do with you if you know what I mean

Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the shelf

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I


Morning Lullabies- Ingrid Michaelson

Yesterday
I woke up
With your head on my arm
My hand was numb
Circulation gone
But I dared not move the pretty sleeping one

The sun had painted
Patterns on your face
As you breathed Sunday air
You rolled onto
My open arm
I became your pillow; you let me smooth your hair

I will sing you morning lullabies
You are beautiful and peaceful this way
I know you have to close your eyes on everyone
Let me help you, I'll sing you to sleep
With morning lullabies

Let me lie in the curve
Of your body tonight
And I will hear you tumble into sleep
I will watch you heal, watch you heal with me

I will sing you morning lullabies
You are beautiful and peaceful this way
I know you have to close your eyes on everyone
Let me help you, to sing you sleep
With morning lullabies

I know you have to close
Your eyes on everyone
Let me help you I'll sing you to sleep
With morning lulla-bye, bye, baby
Close your eyes and I will sing you
Morning lullabies
And I will sing you
Morning lullabies


The Way I am- Ingrid Michaelson

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

'Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

'Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com

I'd buy you Rogaine *when* you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.

Ryan Tedder- The Look (It's acoustic, it's really nice)

Is it possible maybe to have a love so strong
That nothing could ever compare
I'm holding back nothing just for the look in your eyes
So baby don't be surprised

Well I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes

*small guitar break*

Impossible, maybe, but worth one last try
I'm waiting on your reply
I'm sitting here patiently just for the chance that I might be able to hold you tight
And I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes

Now time is all that we have
So won't you let me inside your perfect world for one night
Just open up for me
Girl I swear that I will be everything you've ever thought a man should be

And I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your...

I can see the way you're lookin' back at me
Oooh... Could it be that you see what you want to see
Just let your eyes believe it
I'll never lie to you, in my arms you will be, forever and I...
I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes...

ALSO The Shake- Kisschasy

The scratching of paper and pen reminds me
of a song I wrote two years back.
I remember each and every line like a photo
glued to the lids of my eyes.

The shiver of my wheezing chest reminds me
of the way I felt two years back.
And as we lose all track of time I feel her
breathe like ice on the tip of my spine.

The shake before I sleep, the shake before
I sleep, the shake before I sleep.
The shake before I sleep, the shake before
I sleep, the shake before I sleep.

I wait for the bed to get warm as my eyes
adjust to the darkest light form.
And as I start to drift away you’re the shake
that pulls me back to this state.

The shake before I sleep, the shake before
I sleep, the shake before I sleep.
The shake before I sleep, the shake before
I sleep, the shake before I sleep.

You’re the shake

ALSO MICHAEL BUBLE- EVERYTHING (This song is absolute LOVE) everybody go gaga for this song lol. And Jack Johnson?- better together.

I sang Steven Curtis Chapman's I will be here at a wedding before. It's a very nice song that sounds great with just one instrument (either guitar or piano or both, or the instrumental).

I really like Elvis Presley's "Falling in Love" though it's not a wedding song. It's beautiful though. Good luck.

Do you know Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, Aladdin, Mulan, etc.)?
This is what she sang at her wedding.


Two Words
Artist: Lea Salonga
Lyricist: Freddie Santos
Composer: Louie Ocampo
Arranger: Gerard Salonga


In a while, in a word,
Every moment now returns.
For a while, seen or heard,
How each memory softly burns.
Facing you who brings me new tomorrows,
I thank God for yesterdays,
How they led me to this very hour,
How they led me to this place...

Every touch, every smile,
You have given me in care.
Keep in heart, always I'll,
Now be treasuring everywhere.
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I hold this moment true?
No trace of sadness,
Always with gladness...
'I DO...'

(instrumental)

Now a song that speaks of now and ever,
Beckons me to someone new,
Unexpected, unexplored, unseen,
Filled with promise coming through.
In a while, in a word,
You and I forever change,
Love so clear, never blurred,
Has me feeling wondrous, strange,
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I face each moment true?
No trace of sadness, always with gladness,
'I DO...'

Never with sadness...
Always with gladness...
'I...DO....'

Here's a nice wedding song:
The Love I Found In You - Jim Brickman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhxXmbM4pok

Simple, yet full of meaning.
  I believe that I'll wake up one morning and not miss him anymore.
I'll finally understand that when he broke my heart, it was for a reason, one I just don't understand yet.
But when I do, I'll know that he messed up and not me.
