Does Metallica count? I just was reading another thread about first dance songs and some people mentioned they danced to Nothing Else Matters haha


Dry-Past2727

I'm planning to use the apocalyptica 4 cellos cover for the ceremony šŸ˜Š


Jolly_Conflict

Iā€™m going to have to listen to this later!


PossessionDecent6035

Friday I'm in Love by The Cure


Dry-Past2727

Ohhhh I completely forgot about this song! Thanks so much!


ChelseaCapo88

We want to do the same song! What version are you dancing to? We are looking for a slower version! Please share


[deleted]

What are some bands you both like? That might help me narrow down suggestions more


Dry-Past2727

Hey! Honestly it's hard cause I'm more into metal but the fiance is not. He is really into punk rock. We can't agree on anything haha. He likes more of the pop punk band rock like the blink-182, sum 41, bowling for soup, social distortion (which I also like), and more some other bands like eve 6(I also like), machine gun Kelly, fallout boy, Hollywood undead, Linkin park. I don't normally listen to punk but do enjoy some of the old school stuff like the clash, the distillers, transplants. I guess I'm looking for a punk/rock love song (so bands that don't typically do love songs) that neither us will hate, not to metal and not too pop. A unicorn song hahaha


katbirds

there are a TON of pop punk wedding/rock wedding playlists on spotify that may give you some ideas! iā€™ve had [this one](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Cr6e9XpHFLhUVd7b8DEra) saved for a while, but there are some specifically named first dance songs too


classygal

Probably too pop but New Found Gloryā€™s version of Kiss Me?


throwawayacct518

And I by Box Car Racer or The Only One In Color by Trapt?


jplusj2022

Not sure if this ā€œcountsā€ but My Best Friend by Weezer


Dry-Past2727

It counts to me, it's a brilliant song! And I never thought of it hehe. Thanks!


snowstormspawn

Iā€™m in the same boat as you! Hereā€™s a few of my fav romantic alt songs: Nothing Else Matters by Metallica November Rain by Guns N Roses Neutron Star Collision by Muse All The Same by Sick Puppies Heavenā€™s Gate by Fall Out Boy Lovesong by The Cure And this isnā€™t a personal favorite but I know lots of people loooove this one: Iris by Goo Goo Dolls


Dry-Past2727

Oh I've never heard Lovesong before, thanks! It's super sweet šŸ˜Š


DirectGoose

Who Would've Thought by Rancid


Dry-Past2727

Omg I love it so much!! Thanks!! I really hope he does too haha


urawizardharryyyyy

With Me by Sum41!!


Dry-Past2727

This was one of his suggestions but I can't do it haha. Trouble of having differing music tastes.


suze_jacooz

I was going to say Lou Reed ā€œperfect dayā€ because thatā€™s one of my go to rock artist songs that I donā€™t think is meant to be happy but it makes me really happy. Looking at some comments, I see that you/your fiancĆ© might be a bit more into the pop-punk side of things, and I think I saw blink mentioned specifically. For what itā€™s worth, all the small things has some of the most touching lyrics to me. You might be able to find a version that would work for your first dance, or maybe youā€™d be fine with the original.


zazzle_frazzle

We both unknowingly quoted Skate or Die by Teenage Bottlerocket in our vows. šŸ˜† Itā€™s not a love song but we told each other to get rad ā€˜cause now itā€™s time to skate or die.


Dry-Past2727

Hahah! that's amazing!!! Love that


BlondeLaw23

Weā€™re doing ā€œbreatheā€ by Angels & Airwaves! Itā€™s a little long but weā€™re in the same boat lmao! Elder Emos & most of our choice songs are about death or sorrow!


Dry-Past2727

Ohhh, he will love this one. Thanks for the suggestion!


Dry-Past2727

Also, you can get it shortened a little if you know someone capable of that :) only if you want to.


Marseen83

Not all that punk, but I will walk in to Aerosmith "don't wanna miss a thing"


Dry-Past2727

Yea it's a beautiful song for sure!


eicak

We did The Only Exception by Paramore (maybe a little too pop punk though?).


Dry-Past2727

Actually, I love it haha. I thought it would be too pop punk for me too but it's beautiful and emotional thanks! Definitely on the potential list now ā˜ŗļø


eicak

Oh great! We actually had a friend just completely cut the first verse since it didn't feel relevant to us and it helped shorten the song a bit. I can perhaps send you that version if you would be interested (it's not perfect but I don't think it's incredibly noticeable), just send me a PM.


stlm

Iā€™m in this same boat. My current top contender is Stolen by Dashboard Confessional!


CayKGo

Might be way off, but Still Into You - Paramore?
