When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
A month ago, I asked my Plurk buddies, “What song would you like to slow-dance to with your special someone?” Their answers will make you go “awww.”
“All My Life”
“Thank You” by Led Zeppelin
“You to Me Are Everything”
“At Last” by Etta James
“When You Know” by Shawn Colvin
“Kapag Sinabi Ko Sa ‘Yo” by Gary Granada
“Love” by Michael Buble
“You Are My Special Angel” by Bobby Helms
“My One and Only Love” by Sting
“Someone to Watch Over Me” by Sting
“Apologize” by Timbaland
“The Way You Look Tonight”
“All I Want Is You” by U2
“When We Dance” by Sting
“Ordinary Love” MYMP cover
“Good Enough” by Sarah McLachlan
“I Will Show You Love” by Kevin Payne
“My Skin” by Natalie Merchant
“Lady in Red”
“When I Fall In Love” by Miles Davis
“Fix You” by Coldplay
“Best Friends” by The Perishers
“Sweet Thing” by Mary J. Blige
“Broken” by Lifehouse
“Space Between” by Dave Matthews
“Reasons To Love You” by Meiko
“Love Song” Tori Amos cover
“Every Little Thing” by Dishwalla
“Time of My Life”
“She’s Like the Wind” from “Dirty Dancing”
“Fields of Gold” by Eva Cassidy
“Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton
“Someone like you” by Van Morrison or Shawn Colvin (my absolute faaavorite)
Here’s the Shawn Colvin version:
Don’t you feel mushy just reading this list of songs? It’d be great to put them all together and file under a playlist labeled “Slow Dance” or as a mixtape when you want too woo someone. This is great for weddings too.
Thanks to Mitch, kaiskeebeat, CalvinHobbes, cafevida, Jayme, frannywanny, xtianne, valkyrieangie, FutureThinGuy, Lynn, morks, The Evil One, Sasha, PleadGuilty, promdiMom, xingkit and missyosigirl for sharing your answers. You Plurkers rock. 
Title is a line from Sting’s “When We Dance.” Original image is by scottsnyde.

it’s very smooth and relaxing, parang pang background music sa isang movie

You are so Beautiful by Joe Cocker is missing from that list! And don’t get me started on slow dances, I have yet to think of one for the wedding. Have you ever heard of Tom Waits? I love his song: Waltzing Matilda

bigla kong naalala yung years when i used to attend parties. Hindi ako marunong sumayaw pero pag sweet na, sumasayaw na ko. Wala naman akong gagawin kundi tumayo at yakapin yung kasayaw ko eh. how hard can that be?
August 19th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
that’s a very good list!
too bad hubby got both left feet… he didn’t like dancing at all, let alone slow dance. “,)

More than six months ago, on our wedding day, we danced to The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson. It was so much fun. We had a blast!

How I would love to have a CD compilation of those songs.
