So in case you were wondering, C & I enjoy dark and dreary and sometimes depressing music (it reminds us of the rain in Seattle ;)-). But I'm having troubles figuring out what song to dance to first. We've narrowed our choices down to 2 solid ones. Though we keep changing our minds on which to go first and/or finding new music we love just as much.
Our one constant love is Opeth (a Swedish metal band). But we keep having these passionate love affairs with a Finnish cello band called Apocalyptica. We can't make up our minds. Opeth is our longest love that we'll never cast aside and can always count on having open arms to welcome us back, more in love than before. But there's strong lust for Apocalyptica. To the point where we just want to rip off their clothes and pin them against the wall of an alley (okay... thinking of a romance novel... sorry!).
Problem:
Opeth's lyrics... will probably offend people. Not that it's crude or anything, it's just, not love inspired. Most of the time it's dreary feelings and death, it's not something someone would think to hear at a wedding. Especially when they growl. **mmmm, growl for me Mikael** So the song we chose is non-lyrical, but... it doesn't get the same feeling from us as the song we LOVE LOVE LOVE of Apocalyptica.
Apocalyptica... I don't know or care about meanings behind books/music/shows/movies. I just don't care. I don't take something I enjoy and make it painful for myself. I just enjoy it. So I don't know if the lyrics are ... bad? What do you think?
I'm givin' up the ghost of love
Endure shadows cast on devotion
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet
I won't give up I'm possessed by her
I'm bearing a cross
She's turned into my curse
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet, I want you
I won't let you go
And I need you
How I needed you
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet.

It reads like a love song.. sorta.. like a dramatic love song.. to me anyway, but it's performed in a way we ... *breathe* I dunno.. in a way we'd jump them in the alley. haha.
Tell me what you think?
Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy (non lyrical)
Apocalyptica with vocals by Ville Valo from HIM and Lauri Ylonen from The Rasmus:
We don't like HIM or The Rasmus (bummer, b/c they are the best in this video/song), but we don't hold back loving great music. I don't write the best ever every day (<---obviously), so I don't expect myself to appreciate someone's music 100% of the time...
Anyway, we're not going to do the traditional "I'll always love you. forever and ever and ever with little hearts and bows and frog kisses" kind of songs. (What's frog kisses???) Or really anything all that traditional... sorta. I dunno. We're not doing specific music that way. lol Trust me, our "song" used to be Amazed by..... Lonestar? It hasn't been that for so long... like 4 -1/2 years!
I'm kind of leaning more towards Apocalyptica first song and Patterns in the Ivy as the last song. What do you think? And PLEASE! I KNOW that it's our wedding and whatever we choose will be great, but... why would I be asking if that's the answer I'm looking for? Be as honest to me as I am to everyone please?! That's why I am the way I am... A whole different topic for later!! lol.
HELP!?

I think the video tainted my thoughts about the ap. song. the melancholic sound was dreamy, but the words had a negative connotation. Without the words . . .and without the video it was good.
