Middle son is doing music GCSE (it's the equivalent of a GCSE) and set the task of, with his group/band, identifying a song suitable for a wedding (then practice and perform it).

 

So you wonderful people let the suggestions come in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My first suggestion was Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles, which was swiftly rejected...

On a serious note…

 

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (wife picked that for ours)

 

And a few weddings I played at had that Twilight song…”a thousand years”.

 

there you go…

 

Not “closer” by NIN.

Weddings are a strange one because you have to cater for all ages. Pop songs are usually best for weddings. Cover songs by bands that are not dangerous, like Travis or Van Morrison.

I'm assuming it's a first dance type affair? That's always tricky as couples tend to pick a song that means something to them.

 

If it helps, when we got married we nearly went with the acoustic version of Everlong by the Foo Fighters, but in the end decided on Muse's cover of I Can't Take My Eyes Off You, mostly because it's fun.

Great choice. We do the original version as we have a horn section and it's great to get the crowd involved.
