InspiredBride Posted May 23, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm trying to compile a list of love songs for my wedding that could somehow related to sailing/cruising, even if it's just a few lyrics and not the whole song, and even if they only mention water or the ocean. Here's what I have so far... 1) Come Away With Me-Norah Jones 2) Sail Away- David Gray 3) Spirit on the Water- Bob Dylan 4) Wildflowers- Tom Petty Does anyone else have any ideas? If so, please post!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettyHazardous Posted May 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I know this is soo off topic but has anyone seen the movie made in manhattan? There's a song in that movie (I really can't remember where it is in the movie) but I think it's Norah Jones? I love that song but have no idea what it is... I could be waay off. I think they play during the love scene. Could someone try to tell me the name of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holstang Posted May 26, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I plan on making a CD for all my sailing guests with cruise-themed music to go with their welcome & info letter. These are what I've compiled so far- THE MATING GAME- BITTER SWEET- this song is in the Korbel NYE commercial TIDE IS HIGH- BLONDIE OCEAN BLUE- ABC TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE- EDDIE MONEY VACATION- GO GO’S COME AWAY WITH ME- NORA JONES SAIL AWAY- STYX SAILING - CHRISTOPHER CROSS WIDE, WIDE SEA- WHEN IN ROME SAIL AWAY- ENYA CRUISIN’ TOGETHER- SMOKEY ROBINSON DON’T ROCK THE BOAT- HUES CORPORATION S.O.S.- ABC FANTASTIC VOYAGE- LAKESIDE There's also a song from Supertramp called "Downstream" which I will be quoting in our programs: Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea It just felt so nice, you and me We didn't have a problem or a care And all around was silence, everywhere You are the reason I was born Be with you through all seasons I'll always hear you when you call We'll keep the love light shining Through each night and day A lonely life behind me Oh what a change you've made So down here on the ocean we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages When I took a boat Sunday To know you as I know you now That is all I need And we will get along somehow If we both believe So down here on the ocean we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages When I took a boat Sunday It works, since we're getting married on Sunday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizbeth927 Posted May 26, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2009 My husband and I danced our first dance to "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. It's a gorgeous love song about being lucky to be in love with your best friend. It also happens to mention water and the ocean! Everyone at our wedding thought it was absolutely perfect.

SoccerSweety515 Posted June 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Maybe "Into the Mystic"- Van Morrison... This may sound weird but they play it during the first dance in American Wedding (maybe not the classiest of movies but a really lovely song nonetheless) And I google searched "Maid in Manhattan soundtrack"... the only Norah Jones song that is listed is "Come Away With Me"... another really pretty song.

bree12345 Posted June 6, 2009 #13 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The other song I absolutely love and am trying to figure out a way to make it work is "The Water Is Wide." Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, and the Indigo Girls do a version that is beautiful. The song is a little slow though, and the traditional verses are kind of depressing! I am thinking about using these two verses in a program or something. "There is a ship that sails the sea She's loaded deep as deep can be But not as deep as the love I'm in I know not if I sink or swim The water is wide, I can't cross over And neither have I wings to fly Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I."
