Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine....which is the song from Friday Night Lights (the movie)

[Timdawgg]

WOULD - By Alice In Chains

[MattG12]

Pharoahe Monch - Got You, My Life, No Mercy, Simon Says, Oh No!

[Redz]

Harvest Moon by Neil Young

Some perfect songs require a girlfriend....Harvest Moon is one of them....very intense beauty.......good pick.......

Said it somewhere in this thread, but that was my wedding song.  Great song - and yes, very sentimental.

We had one request for the band "NO BUFFETT!"

Lo and behold, the band must have run out of songs and started playing Buffett.  No one else seemed too bothered by it, so we decided it was not necessary to bash the singer over the head with a chair. We were prepared to do so however.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.


edit: just noticed this was the album thread, not the song thread, but yes indeed the whole album Harvest Moon is a beauty.

edit edit: just noticed that this was in fact the song thread...so, uhhh, yeh...what was my point?

Nice choice, BT, I like Johnson's version, too ... and believe it or not, that tune was written by Barry Manilow, (but I'll take Keith Sweat any day). Just goes to show ... blue is blue, the shade don't matter, man! TP
