  • Wedding Song Remake – Lovesong by Adele or Jes

    “Lovesong” (also referred to as “Love Song”) is a song originally recorded by the English band, The Cure. Adele recorded a version of this song for her “21” Album, slowing it down and making it much more sentimental. Adele had first heard this song at her first concert ever, which happened to be The Cure. Cure lead singer Robert Smith originally wrote this as a wedding present for his fiancée, Mary, shortly before their marriage. American artist, Jes, also recorded a cover of this song. Whilst her original cover was a dance version, she also recorded an acoustic version which like Adele’s cover makes it much more sentimental. Both these versions would be perfect as background music at a wedding or a first dance.

    Lovesong

    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

    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’ll always love you

  • Wedding Songs – I Choose You by Sara Bareilles

    The first time I heard “I Choose You” by Sara Bareilles’, I knew that it was perfect for an unforgettable First Dance or a cheerful walk down the aisle. This sweet tune will provide the perfect backdrop to your day, but it is the lyrics that are the real star here.

    I Choose You

    Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
    Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
    I can’t say I’d even notice it was absent
    Cause I could live by the light in your eyes I’ll unfold before you
    Would have strung together
    The very first words
    Of a lifelong love letter

    Tell the world that we finally got it all right
    I choose you
    I will become yours and you will become mine
    I choose you
    I choose you
    (Yeah)

    There was a time when I would have believed them
    If they told me that you could not come true
    Just love’s illusion
    But then you found me and everything changed
    And I believe in something again

    My whole heart
    Will be yours forever
    This is a beautiful start
    To a lifelong love letter

    Tell the world that we finally got it all right
    I choose you
    I will become yours and you will become mine
    I choose you
    I choose you

    We are not perfect
    We’ll learn from our mistakes
    And as long as it takes
    I will prove my love to you

    I am not scared of the elements
    I am under-prepared, but I am willing
    And even better
    I get to be the other half of you

    Tell the world that we finally got it all right
    I choose you
    I will become yours and you will become mine
    I choose you
    I choose you

  • Wedding Song Remake – Marry Me by Martina McBride & Pat Monahan

    “Marry Me” is the title of a song written by Pat Monahan and recorded by his group Train. Train recorded two versions of this song (see separate post here). Country music artist Martina McBride recorded a duet version with Pat Monahan for her eleventh studio album, Eleven. It was released as the third single from the album on March 26, 2012. The female voice takes the song to another dimension and the fact that it is a duet with Pat Monahan, the original singer, makes it more than just a cover. The two voices are akin to a bride and groom singing to each other, and whilst the original is already widely used at weddings, this version is a great alternative.

    Marry Me

    Forever can never be long enough for me
    To feel like I’ve had long enough with you
    Forget the world now we won’t let them see
    But there’s one thing left to do

    Now that the weight has lifted
    Love has surely shifted my way

    Marry me
    Today and every day
    Marry me
    If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
    Say you will
    Mm-hmm
    Say you will
    Mm-hmm

    Together could never be close enough for me
    To feel like I am close enough to you
    You’ll wear white and I’ll wear out the words “I love you”
    And “you’re beautiful”
    Now that the wait is over
    And love and has finally shown her my way

    Marry me
    Today and every day
    Marry me
    If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
    Say you will
    Mm-hmm
    Say you will
    Mm-hmm

    Promise me
    You’ll always be
    Happy by my side
    I promise to
    Sing to you
    When all the music dies

    Marry me
    Today and everyday
    Marry me
    If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
    Say you will
    I will
    Come on say you will
    You know I will
    Marry me
