Let's Dance In Style, Let's Dance for Awhile - Lyric Day (and a photo too!)

So yesterday was my second wedding anniversary. For the fact lovers out there, the traditional gift for a 2nd wedding anniversary is cotton. So I thought I'd buy husbando a t-shirt - just a token present - that he could wear climbing. Unfortunately I slightly ruined the surprise by asking husbando what size he takes in t-shirts. Oh dear.....I made up for it by cooking steak for dinner.

Anyway, lyric day....I thought I'd pick something we had at our wedding. We had lots of traditional wedding music - I walked down the aisle to Pachbel's Canon in D, we had our first dance to Sinatra's Moon River. Rather less conventionally we walked out of the service to Starlight by Muse. However the song I've picked is one we signed the register to. It's song we both loved since we first got together in 2002 and every time I hear it, I get all choked up. Even last night when it came on the playlist during dinner.

So here it is - Forever Young by Youth Group

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sand-pit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men.

Can you imagine when this race is run
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody, some are the beat
Sooner or later they all be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs that we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?"

I can't really explain why we love this song - it's not particularly romantic or weddingy - but it was used on The O.C which we both also watched and it just reminds me of being 20 and in love. So it seemed fitting to use it in our wedding as it's also just an awesome song.

In case you wonder what else was on the Spotify playlist last night, here's the short list:

Welcome Home Son - Radical Face

Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine

Starlight - Muse

Moon River - Frank Sinatra

Black & Gold - Sam Sparro

Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley (this is our favourite Elvis song but is rather inappropriate wahhh!)

Sugar Town - Nancy Sination

Finally, here's a little picture of me on my wedding day too....

Hope you're all having fab tuesdays wherever you are, reading this. Feel free to share your ear worm, favourite song, songs from your weddings, whatever music you're listening to today, in the comments box!
