interesting to find out - ours is 'sunshine on leith' by the proclaimers - surprisingly romantic actually!

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2006 13:28

Oops, sorry about the fanny references, this pop up vulva of HC's must be catching

MrsBadger · 26/01/2006 13:38

Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes

We don't really have a song but
Shania Twain-Still the one always makes me think of our rough times before dd's
Before we were an item, i was dp's lodger and he put a song on for me oneday and said it made him think of me.
It was,
I don't know how to love him-(from Jesus Christ Superstar)
I just sat string into space thinking....WHOAAAAA!!

Davis bowie couple of kooks reminds me of dd in the early days. My dh bought it me forxmas 12 days after she was born, it also happened to be the day that the baby blues kicked in and I listened to it about 20 times and sobbed.

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story

If you stay you won't be sorry

'Cause we believe in you

Soon you'll grow so take a chance

With a couple of Kooks

Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things

to keep you warm and dry

And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry

I bought you a pair of shoes

A trumpet you can blow

And a book of rules

On what to say to people

when they pick on you

'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty Kookie too

[CHORUS]

And if you ever have to go to school

Remember how they messed up

this old fool

Don't pick fights with the bullies

or the cads

'Cause I'm not much cop at punching other people's Dads

And if the homework brings you down

Then we'll throw it on the fire

And take the car downtown

[CHORUS (repeat ad inf.)]

Our song to our beautiful Dd1. xx
'Isn't she Lovely' by Stevie Wonder

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love.

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
boy, i'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what god has done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love.

We like oldies in our house - and in the car she always says to daddy 'turn that rubbish off daddy and put the four tops on' !!!
Thats my girl!!!

CheekymonkeysGreatestHits · 27/01/2006 22:16

Our song to DS is Circle of life, We have two - On the wings of love by Jeffrey Osborne and Shania Twain Still the one.

tweetyfish · 28/01/2006 13:09

Metallica's Nothing Else Matters... a beautiful song!

SHHHH · 29/01/2006 19:09

Sadeyedladyofthelowlands BTW the song you like is : These words (think thats the title) by natasha beddingfield.

Our wedding song was "if you're not the one" by daniel beddingfield.

Our all time fave song though is the one from romeo&julie...sung by desree...think it's called kissing you. Awww that song makes me fall in love all over again with dh.
I would have loved it as our wedding song but dh wasn't keen on a 1st dance in front of everyone and I didn't want to ruin the emotion it gives me now!!! Plus wanted "our personal" song iykwim.

ShaysMummy · 29/01/2006 19:23

ours is bryan adams- summer of '69. certain words are very special..
'standing on your mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait forever'
'spent my evenings down at the drive-in, and that's where i met you...' the whole story of the song (make sense?!) is similar to our crazy dating days when dh was a boyracer!!
also dh chose 'lady in red' for our dance on wedding day. cheesy, but he said i should listen to the words.
greenday 'wake me up when september ends' and elton & tupac 'ghetto gospel' when ds1 was being born.
i think it is amazing how songs hold memories so well, anyone else think that?

jambuttie · 29/01/2006 20:14

we got married to ronan- when you say nothing at all.

I had it playing for me walking down the aisle and our 1st song.

I still get teary when I hear it

jambuttie · 29/01/2006 20:17

Too my 3 boys I sing them "you are my sunshine" followed by barney " I love you"

They sing James Blunt to mummy and yes I do cry.

We were at a family party with around 80 guests and this song came on, all 3 of my boys were shouting mummy and came to get me, and just sang it.

Well they know most of it ds1 is 4 and the twins are 2

Thats ma boys[proud]

Maddison · 29/01/2006 22:06

We have loads of songs, the one played at our wedding was Ronan Keating 'When you say nothing at all', but 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls reminds me of when we first met. He made a tape for me instead of writing a love letter - unfortunately I've lost the tape and can't remember what else was on it!

I also used to play Sixpence None The Richer 'Kiss Me' all the time when we first met aswell and belt it out as loud as I could when I was driving

Maddison · 29/01/2006 22:08

Aww DH loves me so much he has just put 'kiss me' on! Bless him!

crazydazy · 29/01/2006 22:11

Kiss me is our song too Maddison....first film we went to see whats "She's all that" and that was the song in it....awww makes me smile now.....

bramblina · 29/01/2006 22:15

I can't fight this feeling by REO speedwagon. Just typing it gives me goosbumps. DH just sang it to me one day for no reason( he usually needs a reason for things like that) from beginning to end, staring at me, I didn't even know he knew it, let alone the words. Love the memory, thanks for bringing up the subject!
Can anyone remind me of the words to Lonestar's Amazed, I know I love it but now I'm singing REO and can't think of any other!

hellomama · 29/01/2006 22:16

'You're just to good to be true - can't take my eyes off of you... you feel like heaven to touch, I want to hold you so much...'

Thats our song and i just LOVE the Lauryn Hill version. Beautiful.

Tabs · 29/01/2006 22:18

Ours is 'Love Can Build a Bridge' by the Judds. Was supposed to be our first dance at our wedding but my stupid dad lost the CD during the day. My brother then went and used it at his wedding last year - talk about rubbing salt in the wound.

crazydazy · 29/01/2006 22:21

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I?ve never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don?t know how you do what you do
I?m so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I?m amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

I don?t know how you do what you do
I?m so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I?m amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I?m so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I?m amazed by you

bramblina · 29/01/2006 22:24

Oh my! That has brought tears to my eyes, thank you!!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/01/2006 22:42

OH i LOVE iris by the goo goo dolls.

Ours is Set You Free by N Trance - it was a much played song at the time we got together. Plus Fairground by Simply Red.

Plus the words in this song describe what DP means to me.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cuz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cuz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith'cuz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
