Hi guys, how y'all doin?

I'm getting married a fortnight tomorrow, and we still haven't sorted out the most important thing - our first dance.

Of cource, it has to be Travis, because we've both loved them from the year dot and have lots of fond gig memories together. But I wondered if I could get an outsiders point of view - what would make a perfect Travis wedding song? I've listened to everything a hundred times, for research puroposes, of course :-) But I still can't decide.

Please help me!

Yeah, I'd go with "Closer" or "Flowers In The Window"...

A lot of Travis songs are about love lost or feeling lonely, so it's sorta hard if you're listening to the lyrics. For some reason, I've always imagined dancing to "The Connection" at my wedding...not as a first song, but just as one of the songs. I think it has this really cool retro feel and the drum beat is great to dance to...that and "Selfish Jean" because it's just so fun! :)

Congrats!

Maybe Indefinitely? If you think of it being about being together forever?

I was thinking about "More Than Us" as well, but then I realized Fran sings..."I'm not really sure if this is love, no, not anymore..." LoL!

Congrats!

It's hard to think of songs that work for the first dance since that traditionally is slow and some of the slow ones are wrestling with love issues. Not exactly what you want to be saying with your song choice, I'm sure! : )

My suggestions (in order of preference):

1. Humpty Dumpty Love Song
2. Indefinitely (not a straight out love song but "I wanna stay here/indefinitely" is a good sentiment)
3. I Love You Anyways


Good luck. I'm sure two Travis fans will pick the song that feels right for the two of you.

Edit: I do love "More Than Us" a whole whole lot.

I love you anyways

'you were on my mind
inside a cinema
you looked so beautiful
I almost had to go
and when I got outside
I thought of you again
I think you should be framed
in some fine art gallery
i know you'd disagree with me
but I love you anyways'

the rhythm is great for dancing

-

humpty dumpty love song

'coz all i need is you
i just need you
yeah you got the glue
so i'm gonna give my heart to you'

very sweet one

-

indefinitely

'i'm gonna stay here indefinitely
and I wanna stay here
so jest let me be'

you can sing this one
it would be more romantic

-

but I think indefinitely is the best for the first dance
coz this is SOOOOOOO romantic!
BTW, Congrats!

Fuck all that slow shit, get some 'Happy' on the go and have some fun.

Mischievous me thought about being pre-emptive and popping Battleships on, but I'm sure you'll be rate.

I agree with everyone's suggestions. I'm trying to think of another suitable song but nothing else comes to mind.

songs like Happy can be added
but not for the first dance
first dance should be romantic
