Rush song for wedding?

[theanalogmiddleagedman]

OK - with all the spooning and forking threads, I thought of this one. One of my good friends is getting married this fall. A group of us thought that we should pick a Rush song for the Mother/Son dance. Both he and his sister, as well as several members of my family are huge fans and we though this would be fun.

 

We were trying to pick a slower song with an appropriate message (ie not Losing It or The Pass), but any suggestions would be taken kindly. We are arguing over the following:

 

The Garden

Bravado

Panacea

 

Has anyone ever played Rush at their wedding and have any suggestions?

[Lerxster]

We named the tables after Rush songs. It was my wife's idea. We were at the Limelight table :D

 

We played some Rush tunes during dinner and after, but no slow dancing to Rush.

[Tombstone Mountain]

dude...the only dancing that occurs during a Rush song is bad dancing. However SCOG is a great strip song. Just between us...i say Entre Nous

[drbirdsong]

Mom and Son? In The Mood!!!

[hcm]

Hope is beautiful. The Garden is pretty. Rivendell is pretty too.

[Ancient Ways]

Unless both are huge fans its a bad idea.

[RushBoingo]

_{In the end?}

[theanalogmiddleagedman]

Well, his sister is the one that wants it for him and his mom is on board.

 

I like all the ideas, especially In the Mood. That would be hysterical.

I highly suggest the Didacts and Narpets section of The Fountain of Lamneth. It isn't very long, so I would record it in a loop and play it 15-20 times in a row.

At my wedding reception, my best man and I got up in front of everyone and played a duel guitar medley. We finished with Return Of The Prince.

[jfauser]

The acoustic version of Resist.

[Tinwoodsman]

don't do it! Rush does NOT do wedding songs!

Cold Fire! This is for the Bride and Groom of course. :D Edited July 3, 2013 by mandydog

Sweet Miracle.

 

That is all.

[ytserush]

^{These were played at our wedding.}

^{Madrigal -- Rush}

^{Time Stand Still -- Rush}

^{The Spirit Of Radio -- Rush}

^{Witch Hunt -- Rush}

^{With a bunch more songs available now, I'd consider many of those too.}

[Chicken hawk]

OH yes i like the idea of SWEET miracle..... :guitar:

 

but how can you dance to any RUSH songs?

Very carefully (rimshot) Thank you, I'll be here all week... :P

 

Oh, and Chain Lightning might work too...

 

"Reflected in another source of light

When the moment dies

The spark still flies

Reflected in another pair of eyes"

[Spindrift82]

I think Time Stands Still is the best Rush wedding song.

[Sark]

I don't know about Mother/ son, but I think Ghost of a Chance would make a good bride/groom song.

[Xanadoood]

Entre Nous

 

But I wouldn't tell anyone it's Rush.

[JohnnyBlaze]

I hate the part in the wedding reception where they got the long train thang going. That bit might be tolerable if there's some Rush then

[LedRush]

Entre Nous or Time Stand Still. Not the Garden...it's too long and will grow awkward, even though it's a great and beautiful song.

[LedRush]

Also, the message of Bravado isn't good for this occasion.

[theanalogmiddleagedman]

I think Entre Nous and Time Stand Still are leading, Two of my favorites, for sure!

Suppose the bride could walk down the aisle to the intro of xanadu but yeah i always found cold fire to be dead romantic too
