It's Officially #Crimson and Clover

[HelloAngel]

That's the risk you take when you post something in IO.

Perhaps - but not every semi-interesting thread needs to be bombarded with nonsense if it actually calls for discussion.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I don't know what the hell I want for my wedding song. Maybe because I am against getting married as of late. lol

 

[Giant Lemon]

I promised my roommates that I will play "The Safety Dance" at my wedding, and I will stick to that promise.

As for love songs, I think I'd like "In My Life" by the Beatles or something like "Just the Way You Look Tonight" or "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." I like the old classics.

 

[Lilly]

It's sorta sick - but Muse "Unintended"

It's really gorgeous.



*thinks of more

 

[Ody]

Sorry, this just shows my ignorance, but I thought this thread was about:

Jimmy Eat World

Crimson and Clover
Over, and Over

(Did they cover that song?)

I wanna always feel like part of this was mine.
I wanna fall in love tonight...

On topic: I would not have Jimmy Eat World played at my wedding, if I should ever get married.

 

[Basstrap]

NOW I KNOW WHAT ELLIOTT SMITH IS SINGING ABOUT!!

the radio was playing "crimson and clover"
london bridge is safe and sound
no matter what you keep repeating
nothing's gonna drag me down

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I appreciate humor you guys - but can we please keep this thread on topic?

i did.

i'm a good mod...atsselfonhead:

 

[Sicy]

I dont think I've ever seen a thread in IO stay on topic

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I dont think I've ever seen a thread in IO stay on topic

me either.

i just noticed my smilie messed itself all up. i guess i shoulda said atsselfonhead:

 

[daisybean]

I won't have a wedding song...but only because I probably won't have a wedding.



But since we aren't dealing with reality, I'd say, and this is a weird choice, but "Bent" by Matchbox 20 or twenty...anyway it's a more realistic love song...

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces

Start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Oh oh, I got one....


True Companion, and I'll be goddamned if I can't remember who sings it.


I'd better leave this thread now, before I start crying again.

 

[HelloAngel]

I'd better leave this thread now, before I start crying again.

What?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Just kindda depressed about the "L" word today.

 

[zonelistener]

It's a nice day, for a white wedding."

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Marc Cohn sings it.


I just d/l the goddamn thing.


Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Cant say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel and sometimes I'm cruel
But when it comes to loving I'm just another fool

Yes I've climbed a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of god, girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out,
out across this canyon

I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion

So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of you girl in white
Made my descision that its you alright
When I take your hand, I watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers, and I'll lift up your veil
Then I'll take you home and with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
Whoa true companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm,
Just like that couple on the corner do
Cause girl I will always be in love with you
When I look in your eyes, I still see that spark
Until the shadows fall, until the room grows dark

Then when I leave this earth I'll be with the angels standing
I'll be out there watiing for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

april i have the song too. it makes me all weepy everytime i hear it.

 

[Bonochick]

April, have you ever heard "Wedding Day" by Rosie Thomas? It's sad...but in a positive, strong way, I think.

If you go there and click on "Albums", you can listen to it.

So much for love, I guess
I?ve been wronged, but it?s all right
Cuz I?m moving on
I?ve got my car all packed
With cassette tapes and sweaters
And loose change and cheap cigarettes
I?m gonna drive through the hills
Put my hand out the window
And sing ?til I run out of words
I?m gonna stop at every truck stop
Make small talk with the waiters and truck driving men
I?m gonna fall asleep in the back seat
With no one around but me and my friends
It?s gonna be so great
It?s gonna be just like my wedding day

Yeah, I?ve had enough of love
It feels good to give up, so good to be good to myself
I?m gonna get on the highway with no destination
But plenty of visions in mind
I?m gonna drive to the ocean
Go skinny-dippin?, blow kisses to Venus and Mars
I?m gonna stop at every bar
And flirt with the cowboys in front of their girlfriends
It?s gonna be so great
It?s gonna be just like my wedding day

So much for love, I guess
I?ve been wronged, but it?s all right
Cuz I?m moving on
I?m gonna drive over hills, over mountains
And canyons and boys that keep bringing me down
I?m gonna drive under skyline and sunshine
Drink good wine at vineyards
And get asked to dance
I?m gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by never ever again
It?s gonna be so great
It?s gonna be so great
It?s gonna be just like my wedding day

gah for weepy songs, but it is great

I will probably play "One" at my wedding. I know, I know it's not really a love song, but it's my favourite. It's brought me through so many tough times and I want to be able to share it with everyone I know as they witness such an important stage in my life.
