Recommend a song - something like 'Feeling Good'

Sirrel Squirrel · 25 Oct 2007 at 21:07

I'm trying to find a song to go with a wedding video, I want something with a beat like the one in Muse's version of 'Feeling Good'.

So really I'm after something with nice lyrics but a good beat, I've been looking through my song collection and all I can find is 'Crazy' by Gnarles Barkley, any other suggestions?

How about 'Englishman in New York' can't remember if it's Sting and/or The Police

Sirrel Squirrel · 25 Oct 2007 at 21:28

Na I don't really like Sting, beat needs to be a bit faster too

Propellerheads - On Her majesty's Secret Service or History Repeating (with Dame Shirley Bassey)
Has the big orchestra noise but probably not the lyrics.

Clubbed to death :cool:

None of those go with the video really, don't think clubbed to death will go down to well lol, any other ideas?

Gilly · 27 Oct 2007 at 12:04

Why would it not go down well? :confused:

It worked on the Matrix soundtrack. People would know it without knowing where from, it has classical pieces mixed into it, it has a good beat. It meets every requirement :confused:

Don't really want a song called Clubbed to Death on a wedding video lol

Sirrel Squirrel · 27 Oct 2007 at 14:12

Don't get me wrong it's an awesome song but I think it could be considered a sad song

Crazy doesn't really fit with a wedding video tbh either, maybe save that one for the divorce.

Sirrel Squirrel · 27 Oct 2007 at 18:25

lol, I was just trying to describe the sort of beat I'm after

Have you heard Please please Please let me get what I want - its another cover by Muse, really great.

Very hard to find anything similar to Feeling Good - its a great cover.

...Don't know how soppy you want the song to be but what about:
'Truly Madly Deeply' - Savage Garden.

Lyrics seem to fit a wedding and the beat isn't too fast.

Or maybe:

mavity - Embrace
Kiss from a rose - Seal
Better Together - Jack Johnson

REM - Its the end of the world as we know it

Coming up with a song that will not sound cheesy in a few years will be extremely hard to do.

Anyway my suggestions
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Moby - In my heart

Maybe something by Hans Zimmer, you dont need lyrics to invoke emotion.

already got that Moby track on there and I've used Somewhere Over The Rainbow on a wedding vid I did for my uncle lol. Both superb tracks.

I'll try and find that Muse cover and I'll check out your suggestions alle. Cheers

Like it, I've heard the song before but didn't know it was by them, I'll try and get that on the vid.
