02 Nov 07 - 10:36 AM (#2185027) Subject: Help:music for an Anniversary slide show From: GUEST,Janie Looking for suggestions for a song to put with a slide show for our parent's 60th anniversary. Doesn't have to be folk. Kenny Rogers "Through the Years" is the only thing we have found so far. Would be very nice to have some other choices. Many thanks. Janie & Annie |

02 Nov 07 - 11:26 AM (#2185056) Subject: RE: Help:music for an Anniversary slide show From: Jeri Do they have an 'our song'? Another idea might be a medley of songs from each decade. What sort of music do they like? |

02 Nov 07 - 11:54 AM (#2185075) Subject: RE: Help:music for an Anniversary slide show From: Cool Beans If they have a sense of humor, "You're Timeless To Me" from the musical "Hairspray." It's right on point, sung by an old married couple (both played by men), but not exactly your romantic ballad. Sample lyric: "You're fat and old, but baby, boring you aint!" |

02 Nov 07 - 10:30 PM (#2185433) Subject: RE: Help:music for an Anniversary slide show From: topical tom I would recommend one of the most beautiful love songs ever penned, Ewan MacColl's "The First Time Ever I Saw your Face"The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the night and the empty skies my love To the night and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth turn in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command my love That was there at my command The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine I thought our joy would fill the earth And would last till the end of time my love And would last till the end of time The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the night and the empty skies my love To the night and the empty skies * Celine Dion lyricsAll The Way |

Time After Time Writer(s): cahn/styne What good are words I say to you? They can't convey to you what's in my heart If you could hear instead The things I've left unsaid Time after time I tell myself that i'm So lucky to be loving you So lucky to be The one you run to see In the evening, when the day is through I only know what I know The passing years will show You've kept my love so young, so new And time after time You'll hear me say that i'm So lucky to be loving you |

Should be easy to find those. Was either of them in the military? Whatever 'service' song is appropriate. |

03 Nov 07 - 03:32 AM (#2185491) Subject: LYR ADD: Could I have this dance - Anne Murray From: katlaughing I've always liked this one by Anne Murray: Could I Have This Dance I'll always remember the song they were playin', The first time we danced and I knew, As we swayed to the music and held to each other, I fell in love with you. Could I have this dance for the rest of my life? Would you be my partner every night? When we're together, it feels so right. Could I have this dance for the rest of my life? I'll always remember that magic moment, When I held you close to me. 'Cause we moved together, I knew forever, You're all I'll ever need Could I have this dance for the rest of my life? Would you be my partner every night? When we're together, it feels so right. Could I have this dance for the rest of my life? Repeat Chorus |

03 Nov 07 - 03:51 AM (#2185496) Subject: RE: Help:music for an Anniversary slide show From: Mr Red one I use regularly on wedding videos which usually have a slide show sequence (eg a la Nero) is Salur d'Amour (Elgar) it was a love song to his wife (discuss). the advantage is that without words people can comment - and they will. The length is about right but if you do more slides than I would - consider Chanson de Matin (Elgar) it has the same feel. They were, in effect, Elgar's first hits. He sold them for about �100 which was a fair amount of money. |
