A Quick One About Music
I've just started looking into music for the wedding, and while I honestly care more about the music playing during the party, I did have a cursory look at what song could accompany me when I walk down the aisle.
Those who've already been through this process will know this reaction, I think, but: HOLY CRAP THERE IS SO MUCH MUSIC OUT THERE WHERE DO I EVEN START.
I've only been looking at this bit for a couple of days and I found a lot of possibilities. My idea was to come up with a shortlist, re-listen to my shortlist to shorten the shortlist, then run the list past Blake and the A-Team.
Then that moment happens when an idea pops into your head, and all you can think is, "why didn't I think of this before?" And you have your doubts because what if it doesn't sound as good as I remember, or sound as good as it could, or doesn't really match my story, or has some negative connotations, or any other of a laundry list of reasons why a song wouldn't be for me?
Then, thanks to the internet, you find that song and you listen to it. And for lots of reasons impossible to put into words, you burst into tears when you hear it. Because it's perfect, because it's you, because it sounds beautiful.
Needless to say this very sudden and unexpected emotional reaction told me that I had found the perfect song. Knowing me I will keep looking anyway, just to compare, but I'm pretty confident I've found it.
