Ok I need some help. I'm getting married in December and we are having alot of trouble decding on a good song for our wedding. We are both into stuff like Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails....now I know it's a long shot, but can you think of a good love song by a newer band along the same lines as these that has an appropriate wedding song?

Do a search for 100 greatest love songs of all time.
Here you can see the lot of typical love songs.

And in there are a couple of groups that you would be agreeable to.
(the songs were annoying in my opnion, but my fiancee liked them alot
and as you will become fully aware, "it's not our wedding day, it's her wedding day".........

If no good song can be found, go grab an old 40s tune and at least make the old folks there happy.......

My bride-to-be likes Shiniah Twain a lot. Why don't you give some of her stuff a listen.

I have been to too many weddings where I wanted to kill the couple for picking the LAMEST songs. Next one using "Up Where We Belong" gets it in the kidneys!:|

That said, what do you want to say to each other with this song. DO NOT consider what others may think of your choice! They're not the ones getting hitched. If you want to go super-ironic and use "Creep" (I'm a creep/I'm a weirdo/What the hell am I doing here?/I don't belong here) then go for it.

If/when my g/f and I do the deed, we're prolly gonna use "Heroes" by Bowie. We were at a wedding with lousy music and she mentioned that that would be a better song.

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day


Works for me.:)

When I got married, I was going to surprise my wife with a song of my own...
Imagine...
A cross between "the wedding song" (you know... here comes the bride... blah.)
and The Imperial March from Star Wars....

She said she'd kill me. ;)

I got married last July. The song that we used was from Tal Bachman titled "Beside You". Here are the lyrics.

"Beside You"
(Tal Bachman)

Throughout the passing years
As all the world seems ever changing
We share the same smiles and tears
Of life, with love that's so far ranging

And after all is said and done
I'll be the one beside you
I'll be your love and loyal friend
Until the end, beside you

Each flower bends with time
Each leaf descends with every autumn
But you and I will find
Our love won't die or be forgotten

(Chorus)

When you and I are grey
When youth has gone and life is dimming
I promise that I'll stay
Beside you, like we were beginning

(Chorus)

Creed - With My Arms Wide Open

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open
