Songs.....that rock and say I love you....

[subaruforestermum]

Ok, so with Wedding plans well under way we are struggling to find 'the song' to walk down the isle to.....

So we decided to mix it up....

The first part we will play is Akon - Don't Matter...

Nobody want to see us together, but it dont matter NO, cos I got you babe.
Nobody want to see us together, nobody thought that we'd last forever, we saw them hoping and praying things between us dont get better.....

Then after we have said the vows and the 'kiss', or while saying the vows...we have decided on Hinder - Lips of an angel..... only the "Its really good to hear your voice saying my name it sounds so sweet...coming from the lips of an angel hearing those words it makes me weak".....

But we are stuck with a song, or songs to mix in with it...

I think the first part is a 'told you so' sort of thing to stick it to those like DF's parents who said and hoped we wouldnt last....

HELP...... We are alternate rock, hard rock....alternative.....type people....but cant find a suitable song.... Any suggestions....

Or verses from a song we can use...as most likely wont use the whole part of a song...

Does it sound a bit silly????

I like the idea, but having reservations, as it is becoming so hard to find songs to mix......

[Ashleigh<3]

What about something from Incubus?

The song 'Admiration' is beautiful with very sweet lyrics.

[jag5000]

off the top of my head these came to mind - no idea why, and no idea if they'd be any good but...

- better when we're together by Jack Johnson
"it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together"

- time of your life by Greenday
" It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life."
Hmmm.. maybe not.. I like the song tho!

not much help am I?? LOL

good luck! enjoy your wedding :)

[JATS]

Just going through my 'mush' music folder :o

Foo Fighters - Best of you
Led Zeppelin - Whole lotta love
INXS - Never tear us apart
Tupac - Do for love (just the chorus)
Puff Daddy - I'll be missing you
The Killers - Bones
Snow patrol - You're all I have
Avril Lavigne - When you're gone
Gwen Stefani - The real thing

I have several thousand more... am I getting warm?:o

[punkbaby]

We had nothing else matters :)

Dont wanna miss a thing - aerosmith
dance the night away - van halen

[Missy75]

Maybe not a rock song but an awesome love song, 'when I'm sleeping' by Leonardo's Bride. It goes...

"I love you even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes, you're everywhere"

Pretty sure you can find it on you tube.


I had always planned to have it at my wedding but ended up using some deep forest songs as it fit the theme better.

[subaruforestermum]

Some great suggestions ladies....

I am liking the INXS song....never tear us Apart....

It will be somethng so meaningful and better than just the one song...... Just have to find the right songs to mix...but yeah I really like some of these suggestions..Thanks you so much...

If anyone has anymore please add....

[onemummmy]

I love Queen so I wil suggest 'you're my best friend' I love this song!!

[subaruforestermum]

So it doesnt rock, but i was listening to ...and forgot her name...she has the album Spirit out, fro the UK, but is compared to Whitney Housten and Mariah Carey.....

..Lyrics are....'I dont care what they say I'm in love with you....'....

Anyone know the song and her name..

I think her name is Leonne or something..anyway...what are peoples thoughts on that song....

[JATS]

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF84pIhP5UM)

That it?

[subaruforestermum]

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF84pIhP5UM)

That it?

Yeah thats the one.......

Any thoughts on mixing that in....but then DF & I are more rock, heavy metal...sort of people, I like a broader range of music than he does....so I dont know if we should just go for straight out rock...or do what we planned....

[Little Gorilla]

It's not rock...but the newish Alicia Keyes song... might fit what you are trying to get across to people - it is exactly what I would want played at me and DP's wedding....


I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better


You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright


No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you


When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain


You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright


No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel


I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one


No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you


oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[JamesFrier]

[I love JJJ]

I recently got married and we played 'Love song' by The Cure.
Robert Smith (lead singer of The Cure) wrote this for his own wedding and he and his wofe are still going strong....a good omen!

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

[Freya]

Isn't lips of an angel about him having feelings for someone else and not his GF?

I love Green Eyes by Coldplay and Love LOVE LOVE For Someone by Beth Robertson.. That song melts my Heart. My sister had them at her wedding and everyone commented on how perfect they were.:yes:

[the_original_duchess]

im walking down the isle to white weding lol. but that just coz im strange

[mummajuice]

I can't remember what movie it's from (maybe Pulp Fiction) or who sings it (al green?), but the song is lets stay together



I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

[melly75]

What about Heaven -Bryan Adams


Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down

Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

N' baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've bin waitin' for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

Isn't lips of an angel about him having feelings for someone else and not his GF?

Yep which is why we were just going to take out one little section of it, not use the entire song.


im walking down the isle to white weding lol. but that just coz im strange

I had that in mind, so I must be strange too..lol...As it use to be one of my favs as a kid, but then it made me remember cruising in the old GT Ford with my father, and I started crying, so cant use it..... Billy Idol rocks, I seen him live at the ANZ stadium years ago....went off...

[earthfairy]

Love SOng by The Cure was a good suggestion or how about

"Patience" by Guns & Roses? (its mine & my DH's song):valentine:

or even "November Rain"?


I love this song - whenever i hear it i get goosebumps: -

"You & Me" By Lifehouse

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive

[nugget]

Turn my head by LIVE was playing when DH propesed, I love that song

[Myztik]

Tool - Part of Me

Maybe just the first verse lol..

I know you well.
you are a part of me.
I know you better than I know myself.
I know you best,
better than anyone.
I know you better than I know myself.



You don't judge.
You can't speak.
You can't leave.
You can't hurt me.
You're just here for me to use.


I know you best,
better than one might think.
I know you better than I know myself.
It's time for you
to make a sacrifice.
It's time to die a little.
Give it up.



You are a part of me.

[Myztik]

APC - Magdalena

Magdalena
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an
Earthly goddess

I lost my self control
Beyond compelled
To throw this dollar

Down before your
Holiest of altars

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem
A dollar at a time

For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you
My Magdalena

I bear witness
To this place
This prayer
So long forgotten

So pure
So rare
To witness
Such an earthly goddess

That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem
A dollar at a time

For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you
My black Madonna

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem
A dollar a time

For one taste
One taste
One taste of you
My Magdalena

[nugget]

I love a good old rock ballad too!

We have "Thankyou for loveing me" by Bon Jovi - AWESOME song.

I am a HUGE INXS fan, so also love "Never tear us apart".
