Subject: Bluegrass wedding songs From: AnneMC Date: 27 Jun 04 - 05:39 AM Can anyone suggest some bluegrass songs for a simple wedding service for an informal second marriage. Thanks, Anne |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: Gern Date: 27 Jun 04 - 09:44 AM I guess the standard cheating songs are out, which eliminates quite a few. How about "Married by the Bible, Divorced by the Law?" Seriously, some old country love standards work well in bluegrass weddings: try "I Love You Because" or "Have I Told You Lately that I Love You." |

Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: Eve Goldberg Date: 27 Jun 04 - 03:15 PM Well, one we almost used was a song by Laurie Lewis called "Love Chooses You." It's a beautiful love song. |

Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: GUEST,Vectis Date: 27 Jun 04 - 07:02 PM How about 'they're burning down the house I was brung up in' if one of them changes their mind? Only Kidding |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: GUEST,Steve Date: 27 Jun 04 - 09:59 PM Before I Met You is a beautiful song, unless ya do it the way Lester & Earl did it. That sounds like a march |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: Mark Clark Date: 27 Jun 04 - 11:19 PM We used to do I've Got A Never-ending Love For You on occasions such as anniversaries and weddings. There is a great bluegrass arrangement of the tune that includes a dramatic full stop and a measure (four groups of four notes each) of chromatic ascending banjo in the bridge. - Mark Never Ending Loveby Delaney Bramlettperformed by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends I've got a never-ending love for you From now on that's all I want to do From the first time we met I knew I'd have a never-ending love for you I've got a never-ending love for you From now on that's all I want to do From the first time we met I knew I'd have a never-ending love for you (bridge) After all this time of bein' alone We can love one another, give for each other From now on It's so good I can hardly stand it (full stop and banjo riff) Never-ending love for you From now on that's all I want to do From the first time we met I knew I'd sing my never-ending song of love for you After all this time of bein' alone We can love one another, live for each other From now on It's so good I can hardly stand it (full stop and banjo riff) Never-ending love for you From now on that's al I want to do From the first time we met I knew I'd sing my never-ending song of love for you I've got a never-ending love for you |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: GUEST,Bex McK Date: 28 Jun 04 - 08:22 AM "My Dear Someone" (as seen on Down from the Mountain) by Gillian Welch/David Rawlings is a fantatic old fashioned love song. |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: GUEST,Sid Gilbert Date: 12 Feb 17 - 05:51 PM I traced her little footprints in the snow is nice ,but I don't know how it would be for a Wedding song.I'm going to check Jimmy Martin's songs. |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: GUEST,Sid Gilbert Date: 12 Feb 17 - 06:28 PM I'll be loving you might do .after this I know why I grew up depressed in the Appalachians,not many happy love songs.If your not from the area remember to pronounce it Appa Latch ians |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: gillymor Date: 12 Feb 17 - 09:00 PM The OP is from June of '04 but I will recommend "Good Woman's Love". |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: Felipa Date: 13 Feb 17 - 06:28 AM more country than bluegrass, "you're my best friend" as sung by Don Williams, though it sort of jumps the gun if the couple dont already have children: "You're My Best Friend" You placed gold on my finger You brought love like I've never known You gave life to our children And to me a reason to go on. You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all you're my best friend. When I need hope and inspiration You're always strong when I'm tired and weak I could search This whole world over You'll still be everything that I need. You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all you're my best friend. You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean But most of all you're my best friend... ---- I attended a wedding where the band played the Tennessee Waltz; thankfully no-one sang the lyrics. |

Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: gillymor Date: 13 Feb 17 - 02:13 PM Herb Pedersen's beautiful "Wait a Minute" might work. It's kind of hard to think of love songs written by Bluegrass artists because it seems most are of the cheatin' or lost love variety. Stanley Brother's "How Mountain Girls Can Love" might go over at the reception. |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: GUEST,Jerry Crossley Date: 13 Feb 17 - 05:30 PM Til the End of the World Runs Round (I'll keep on loving you) by Flatt and Scruggs surely? |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: gillymor Date: 13 Feb 17 - 08:19 PM Right, Jerry and speaking of Flatt and Scruggs their cover of the Carter Family's "You Are My Flower" might do. |
Subject: RE: Bluegrass wedding songs From: Thompson Date: 14 Feb 17 - 02:30 AM You could also avoid the one with the lyric Yonder stands my own true love And she's all dressed in red And she's the darling of my heart And I wish my wife was dead. I was going to suggest You Are My Sunshine but looking at the lyrics it's pretty cloudy too! In fact, bluegrass songs generally are a downer, though tunefully so. |
