I am planning to sing for a wedding coming up and I have been asked to sing this song as a solo. I don't know this couple and I think they want it to sound like the recording. After I heard it I said out loud "all righty then" and decided I'd have to get my groove on for this one.
I've been asked to sing at several weddings through the years and sometimes some rather interesting song choices have come up. Here are some wedding songs I've sung and memories I have:
"We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters- that was a fine song until you get to the fast groovy part and the organ is accompanying you.
"How Beautiful"- a very popular wedding selection and beautiful song... that is, unless you forget the whole verse about the bride in it. That was embarrassing.
and the only song I've ever refused to sing at a wedding: "It's Your Love" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. I refused to sing the first lines in church- "holdin' you close, touchin' your skin, asking you to do what you've been doin' all over again" The couple got someone else to sing it instead. ha!
Songs Ben and I had at our wedding: I Stand In Awe, Great is Thy Faithfulness, How Could I Ask For More, and the final song I Love You for Sentimental Reasons.

good luck, MERE. I don't think that would be an easy song to sing. You can do it though! I have faith in you.

Hey, you forgot the song that you sang at my wedding... How unfair! :-)
I just had to come out of blog-lurking to post this comment :-)
By the way, you do have to get your groove on to sing that song! Just don;t mention anything about a dog like she did :-)
Much love from "the other" side of the world.
Olya, I haven't forgotten. I loved that song. That's why it's not in my "blooper" section of memories. Yeah, I'd better not mention that the lady wrote the song for a dog huh? :)
