A Song For a Girl

[DaveC]

There's a conference at an event I'm going to in mid-May, and there's a talent show one of those nights. I intend to sing a song and play the guitar with it, and dedicate it to a special girl. But I'm right confused as to which I should sing! I've got it short-listed to this (but not restricted to these):

Mother (Pink Floyd)
So Cruel
Tryin To Throw Your Arms Around The World
All I Want Is You

So help me out, which should I do? Any suggestions for other songs U2 or otherwise are appreciated.

If I knew how to make a poll I would.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

aww how sweet. who is her favorite artist?

 

[martha]

So Cruel

This might probably wouldn't be the song to choose if you like her.

that's what i was thinking......but All I want Is You sounds good....although I can't really think of any other happy U2 love songs.

Hey Desire would be nice....but that wouldn't sound good for a solo act!

 

[AngelofLarrydom]

what about Wild Honey

I think it's one of my favorite
"happy" songs from U2

Hmm...I just realized that. Good point. Scratch "So Cruel" from the list.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yeah i dunno about mother either... wouldn't be a song i'd dedicate to a girl i liked, but hey, that's just me

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

oh... and any song that says "and a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" wouldn't be my first choice either... so it looks like you're stuck with all i want is you

 

[Bonochick]

Yeah, and most argue that AIWIY isn't a love song (though I personally see it as such from my own analysis).

 

[Stories for Boys]

well, aiwiy is as close as you're gonna get...plus, only u2 freaks such as us think about these things...i vote for that...

plus, if a guy played it for me, i'd die from an overdose of ness...

 

[DaveC]

yeah i dunno about mother either... wouldn't be a song i'd dedicate to a girl i liked, but hey, that's just me

Well a friend suggested it to me, so I put it on the list anyways...

Well it looks like the winner is AllI Want Is You

Unless there are any other suggestions....

the scientist- coldplay

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Richard Ashcroft - C'mon People

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

the scientist would be perfect if you have recently broken up with a girl and want her back.

actually i would pass out if any guy played a coldplay song for me.

 

[HeartlandSoul]

U2 "Drowning Man" - very romantic

 

[hiphop]

I?d skip Mother by Pink Floyd, although it is a very beautiful deep song; but not exactly what I would play to girl. if it has to be the Floyd, Wish You Were Here would be more classical.

From your list, I?d definitely choose All I Want Is You.

There are others to consider, though - what about Romeo and Juliet by the Dire Straits? Or Letter To Hermoine by David Bowie?

There are numerous love songs by U2. The First Time is beautiful too. Anyway, if you know how to play All I Want Is You already, I would stick with that and practise.

true love waits

 

[DaveC]

true love waits

Uh...I'm not doing this to seduce her.

 

[DaveC]

Oh, and by the way, I already know The First Time too, and I like that one a lot too! Hmm...

 

[pax]

"Jewel Box" by Jeff Buckley.

Although yeah, if a guy played AIWIY for me... ::melt::

 

[SkeeK]

in a little while

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

Uh...I'm not doing this to seduce her.

true love waits is the name of a song.

 

[Elvis Presley]

true love waits is the name of a song.

 

[Gickies Gageeze]

 

[DaveC]

Oh. My bad.



Anyways, I think I'm gonna go with Romeo and Juliet.

Thanks for the help y'all

ooh...that's a good one. also by him "everybody here wants you" is awesome ...but you've already chosen and all so...

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

I thought the title of this thread was referring to the song

"song for the girl" by Matthew Good.

Which, conincidently, is a really good song...

 

[Lemonboy]

I can?t believe noone has mentioned "Sweetest thing"!
