"Fly" by Sara Groves
The first dance at our wedding. Check out these lyrics:
Oh how the little things
Strengthen my tiny wings
Help me to take on the world
When you love me there's nothing I wouldn't try
I might even fly
I mean. Right??
"P.M.'s Love Theme" from Love Actually
"I Only Have Eyes For You" The Flamingo
This one has the added bonus of being romantic and dreamy to me while also reminding me of Buffy. I love that episode because it was when Angel was missing his soul and we got the aching breathless moment together when everything was good again... and then... he was evil Angel again. Curses.
"Love Song for a Savior" Jars of Clay
"So This is Love" from Cinderella
Until my husband-to-be proved uncooperative this was the song I wanted for my first wedding dance. I always thought it was SO romantic and it really has such a great, sort of retro, vibe.
"So Are You to Me" Eastmountainsouth
I'm going to go ahead and admit that I first heard this song watching an episode of "Alias," but that doesn't make the lyrics any less gorgeous, or her voice less heartbreaking.
This song will forever remind me of a dance at Sadie's, sophomore year of high school, with the boy I had a truly earth-shattering crush on. I was dancing on the ceiling, people. Never in my life have I been more thrilled to hear the opening strains of a six minute song.
Sidenote- lots of TV/movie references, I know. It's how I first experienced love!
"In Your Eyes" Peter Gabriel
This song will forever remind me of a dance at Sadie's, sophomore year of high school, with the boy I had a truly earth-shattering crush on. I was dancing on the ceiling, people. Never in my life have I been more thrilled to hear the opening strains of a six minute song.
"Your Hand in Mine" Explosions in the Sky
No lyrics at all, but anyone who has ever seen Friday Night Lights can't help but be instantly moved by it.Sidenote- lots of TV/movie references, I know. It's how I first experienced love!
I love "In Your Eyes" and Buffy! I must admit, though, that I forgot "Love Song for a Savior" is a love song! Ever since a good friend identified it as the song that reminded him of me, I've thought of it as my theme song. :)
ReplyDeleteUm... I want a theme song!! That is awesome.
DeleteI can't wait to come and listen to these songs later on. Totally agree with the Peter Gabriel one. Loooooove.
ReplyDeleteYeah you really can't deny that one.
DeleteI cannot believe I forgot to add "In Your Eyes" to my list! Yes! LOVE.
ReplyDelete(And you're a peach! So happy we're friends on Instagram!)
Me too! Can't wait to see what everyone else has posted... I love finding new music.
DeleteI don't even remember that part from Cinderella! I'm so excited I have a little girl so I can revisit all the Disney classics with her! I love "I Only have Eyes for you!" I never knew what that Jars of Clay song was called, but I always really enjoy it when it comes on the radio, it's just so...peaceful? Know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list!
I am all about the Disney movies (with or without my daughter around to watch them with me...oh well!). And I totally know what you mean about the Jars of Clay song-- "peaceful" is absolutely the right word for it.
