Finding "Our" Song

Over Mother's Day weekend we went to the coast. We shipped out the dog, brought my parents along and managed to pack everything but the kitchen sink. We had a fantastic time! It was so nice to be away! One night, because my parents were to there to hold down the fort, hubby and I went to a newer coffee place in the tiny town of Gold Beach. It had amazing art on the walls but because they were newer they didn't have hot chocolate or Italian sodas. How hard is it to buy club soda and chocolate packets? Anyway, they were having a band there that night. It was three men who were pretty decent actually. It was a great and fun atmosphere and we loved being a part of it. Towards the end of the evening the band asked for requests. My husband loves the song, "Georgia." He wanted me to suggest it but the problem I have speaking up in that sort of situation is if I say something and I'm not heard and then having to repeat it. I never said my fears were justified. So my non-blogging, never read my blog husband decided to YONF me and sure enough before the evening was finished I had requested the song, the band played the song, and my husband loved hearing. I was talking to him saying how cool it would be to be able to request "our song." The problem though is we don't have one. We tried coming up with some, "At Last," was mentioned but I don't think that fits us well. We both love Marley and we listen to it often but I didn't think "I Shot the Sheriff," was a good choice for being our song. So any suggestions? Do you have a special song with your spouse? Help me find one!

Our song is You're The Inspiration (Chicago) I know that's an old song but we love it. It has been our song for 16 years.

First off, I have to say I also HATE repeating myself in a group setting like that. So awkward! Adam and I don't have a song either! Or maybe every song is our song. Adam is ALWAYS singing. :)

I have the song without the Spouse..."A little less conversation", by Elvis. Don't anyone steal it either. I figured my mom would frown upon, "I like Big Butts" by Sir Mixalot.

Our song is "Storybook Story" from "Princess Bride." We chose it because (a) Jason LOVES that song, and (b) people were always telling me that I lived in a storybook world, and that I'd have to wake up someday. Whatever.

When I was pregant with my oldest, I read a magazine article about a mom who chose a song for each of her children, and sang it every day while she was pregnant. She swore that each child's song had a calming effect on them as infants. I loved the idea, and chose a song for each of my kids too, but didn't sing it daily, and I don't think anything but prescription sedatives would have clamed my children as infants. HOWEVER, now that they're older, they each know what their own song is, and they love hearing them and singing along.

For you and GG, how about "Come on Baby, Light my Fire(works)"?

Our song is Forever and Ever Amen by Randy Travis. But a song can be anything that evokes emotion in you two. Something that makes you think of the other person when you hear it. Go for a Marley...man!
