2.14.09 love songs

Friends of SingleGirl are getting hitched, and are trying to find "their song." When you don't have a couple-y song, it can be pretty intimidating to find one that not only fits both of you, but that you'd be OK with your grandma dancing to. (For example, maybe Baby Got Back isn't a great choice...but maybe it is!) I started scrolling down my iTunes library to find my favorite love songs, and here's a selection of them. (In no particular order, except the rough alphabetizing from iTunes.)

1. Shawn Colvin's cover of the Talking Heads This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
2. Alice Peacock - You're my Northern Star
3. Ani DiFranco - As Is
4. The Blue Nile - Tomorrow Morning
5. BT - Simply Being Loved
6. David Gray - Sail Away
7. Dido - Thank You
8. Ella Fitzgerald -I'm Just a Lucky So-And-So
9. Elliot Smith - Say Yes
10. Feist - Brandy Alexander
11. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
12. Jonatha Brooke - If I Told You
13. Nick Cave - Into My Arms
14. Once Blue - Amateur
15. Patty Griffin - One Big Love
16. Peter Mulvey's cover of The Waterboys The Whole of the Moon
17. Pink Martini - Let's Never Stop Falling In Love
18. REM - You Are The Everything
19. Regina Spektor - Fidelity
