My brother writes songs, and has very cleverly put some of them up on the worldwide interwebby net thing for people to listen to.My favourite is 'A Girl Like You'. Have a listen. My brother sang it at his own yellow-flowered wedding in Sweden - land of herring, meatballs and ABBA. It was summer, we were near a lake surrounded by trees, and it didn't get dark all night. The meal was eaten with good cheer, the speeches were warm with love and the guests sang songs round the table, as is Swedish tradition.
Later the lights dimmed and glasses were refreshed, the band picked up their instruments and my brother sang this song. When he got to the line "I thank you for believing and for being my wife" the band paused, all eyes fell on his beautiful new bride, and everyone cheered.
Magic.
Oh that is so sweet. I bet she cried. I would have cried. :D

ReplyDeleteI never knew it was possible to put your own songs on the internet. I'll have to give it a try myself. I have albums of unreleased tracks of myself and Judy singing the blues.

ReplyDeleteVery impressed by the wedding serenade - at my own I found just speaking difficult, never mind singing.
