Any fan of U2 has contemplated playing one of, or some of, their best hits at their wedding. Trouble is, a lot of the music that this band has produced does not align very well with that of a wedding. Its a shame that not all of them are most suitable.
Enter the WWU2FD? (What would a U2 fan do?) movement!
That is why we decided to spend some time researching across the discography of U2, looking specifically for those that we could add to our own wedding playlist.
We will be sharing those recommended songs with you here today.
So lets get started.
All I Want Is You
The lyrics you will love:
“You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold,
Your story to remain untold,
Your love not to grow cold,
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you”
Beautiful Day
The lyrics you will love:
“It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful day…
Touch me
Take me to that other place”
If You Wear That Velvet Dress
The lyrics you will love:
“Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It’s her daylight that gets me through”
With Or Without You
The lyrics you will love:
“See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I’ll wait for you
…
With or without you
With or without you, ah, ah
I can’t live
With or without you”
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
The lyrics you will love:
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you”
Love Is Blindness
The lyrics you will love:
“Love is blindness
I don’t want to see
Won’t you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness”
A Man And A Woman
The lyrics you will love:
“And you’re the one, there’s no-one else
It makes me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman”
Heartland
The lyrics you will love:
“See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love”
Two Hearts Beat As One
The lyrics you will love:
“Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts”
Always Forever Now
The lyrics you will love:
“Well if you dream then dream out loud, always
Eternally yours, always
I want you”
Finally
The U2 songs listed above have all been carefully selected. In fact, many of them are even suggested in many of the U2 fan forums!
One of the main benefits of playing U2 at your wedding, is that your guests will have unlikely heard the songs before; making them that bit extra special and unique.
Plus, each can serve as a great track to put on at different times.
For example, if you are looking for a first dance song – look no further than ‘All I Want Is You‘.
Nevertheless, give yourself a refresh and listen to them all again. Consider the lyrics and choose one of/several of that you think resonate best with you, as a couple.
