    Yay for DMB songs!

    We are dancing our first dance to a DMB song...not sure I want to spill which one!

    We are having dinner music be old school...Frank Sinatra, etc.  So DMB won't be in our dinner playlist.  Also, not sure how much of their music is good for dancing...I will play You & Me for a dance song... any other good ones to use during reception?

    What about I"ll back you up?  So romantic!

    not really worried about being able to dance to the songs... pretty small reception with not alot of dancing.. im more worried about the lyrics (receptions in gym of church) i know dave doesnt swear alot on his cds but some of his lyrics (crash) could be taken the wrong way lol

     

    so far we have you and me being played during wedding... 1st dance is steady as we go and then also "oh" and 1 sweet world being played

    Even though you are a USC fan...I'll give you my opinion :)  (born and raised Bruin here)

    I love love love Satellite.  I wish my FH didn't hate DMB so that we could play it!  The lyrics are so sweet!  I know its not a conventional love song, but it could work.

    My favorite DMB song of all time is Two Step...its way too fast for a first dance, but it could be played at some point during your reception.  Again, the lyrics blow me away:

    Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
    You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
    Love, you drive me to distraction
    Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
    Or more if not for this,
    Our flesh and blood
    It ties you and me right up
    Tie me down

    Celebrate we will
    Because life is short but sweet for certain
    We're climbing two by two
    To be sure these days continue
    These things we cannot change

    Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
    Grown tired of water all the time
    You quench my heart and you quench my mind

    Celebrate we will
    Because life is short but
    Sweet for certain
    We're climbing two by two
    To be sure these days continue
    The things we cannot
    Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
    These days continue, things we cannot change

    Oh, my love I came to you
    With best intentions
    You laid down and gave to me
    Just what I'm seeking

    Celebrate we will
    Because life is short
    But sweet for certain
    We're climbing two by two
    To be sure these days continue
    Things we cannot change...
    Things we cannot change

    Haha!  I always forget about South Carolina...I can get behind the Gamecocks!  (As a UCLA girl, when I hear USC, the first thing that comes into my mind is Southern Cal)

    Crash is a great song. Almost anything by DMB is great! All of the songs are so sincere, genuine and... meaningful. I just love Dave Matthews Band!

    You and Me- for sure.

    Some of the lyrics to Crash are a bit inappropriate.

    @usc4ever15: YAY! I am a Gamecock too! I actually work at USC. GO COCKS!

     

    And Two Step and You and Me are AWESOME songs. I also like #41 it sounds romantic but when you read and understand the lyrics...not so much.
