  • Fantastic Customer But... Need Some Help

    So my current job entails alot of engraving. Recently, I've been asked to help plan an entire wedding (for someone I don't really know). This is not actually my job, but it's a great challenge, and I want to do it. I like these customers. They've spent alot of money with me in the past, and helped to increase my bonus ALOT. So I wanna do it right for them.

    (If you're a MySpace Friend of mine, ignore this, because you've already gotten the plea.)

    The problem is this: I am not a Romantic Person by nature. However, this couple wants every single gift to be uniquely engraved. The best suggestion I could offer them was to use songs. As soon as I said that, they wanted every piece engraved with a unique and appropriate phrase (from a song) for the gift-receipiant. Provided that:
    Each phrase is not immediately recognizeable.
    So that seems to rule out anything by Luther Vandross, Brian Adams, Whitney Houston, Bill Withers, Richard Marx, Lionel Richie, and Dionne Warwick.

    Here's what I need: Songs that have great lines and/or cuplets in them relevent to a bridal party and such. Songs for mum and sisters, brothers, bridesmaids, groomsmen, ushers, flowergirls, ring-bearers, receptionists, friends and family.
    I had a great suggestion from a MySpace Friend for the Dadsie of the Bride; it was from "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac (with an addition):
    "I've been afraid of changing because I built my life around you. But time makes you bolder. Children get older, and I'm getting older, too. But you were always my first love."
    That's the kind of input I'm looking for. I really value these customers and I want to do this.
    Any love songs or whatever (even if it's a couple lines in Cannibal Corpse that could fit) would be totally helpful.

    Any Music Lovers up to the challenge?

    I can't offer you anything up front, but if you visit www.sing365.com, it has hundreds of bands and their lyrics.

    You might find something there that would work.
    Total surrender

    Your skin is like water on a burning beach
    And it brings me relief

      Hmmm. Sounds like a good challenge.

      How about Tesla "love song" Or maybe Etta James 'At Last"? Maybe Led Zeppelin "Thank You"? Firehouse "Love of a lifetime"? Those are the songs that immediatly pop into mind. Good luck!

        You could always try Tom Waits - Little trip to Heaven

        "Your my North Star when I'm lost and feeling blue
        Your my sun that's breaking through, it's true"

        or

        "Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love
        Banana moon is shining in the sky"

        or

        "Thanking my lucky stars that I found you
        When I see your constellation, your my inspiration
        And it's you"

        or Other side of the World (also Tom Waits)

        "in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
        and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world."

              We're on the edge of forever and we're never gonna fall

              Piece of the Action by Meat Loaf
              Felt like a prisoner 'til I looked in your eyes
              and saw a million wide open doors

              Baby let's be golden today

              Meat Loaf

              I treasure your love

              Out of the Frying Pan (And into the fire) by Meat Loaf
              Then I saw you like a summer dream
              And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said

              Bat out of Hell by Meat Loaf
              Oh Baby you're the only thing in this whole world
              that's pure and good and right
              And wherever you are and wherever you go
              There's always going to be some light


              But when the day is done
              And the sun goes down
              And the moonlight's shining through
              Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
              I'll come crawling on back to you.

              You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth by Meat Loaf

              So close no matter how far
              Couldn't be much more from the heart
              Forever trusting who we are
              And nothing else matters

              Moon Baby by Godsmack
              Let's take a blast to the Moon Baby

              Don't go changing to try to please me
              You never let me down before.
              Don't imagine you're too familiar
              And I don't see you anymore

              You always have my unspoken passion
              Meeeeoooow.....
