We Will Still Need A Song

A little while ago, I was listening to music and adding to my list of songs (we'll be using an iPod for our wedding reception, so I started a list of songs to download) and I realized I don't know what Richard and I will dance to for our first dance as a married couple. We don't have "a song". We're just not... song-having people. I suppose this isn't really a valid issue yet, since we haven't "officially" begun the planning process, but it still struck me as... not good.

This issue reminded me of a song:

We Will Still Need A Song by Hawksley Workman

Baby you're drunk and acting tough
I know you're sad
You're not the only one who feels like that now

And maybe anger is your only choice
But maybe heart and fist and human voice
Might be the better way
Be the way

Cause we, we will still need a song
To carry our love away
To carry it away
We will still need a song
To carry our hearts away
To carry them away

Don't let another tear be in your eyes
We can die in peace knowing we tried
To change our own ways

The poets let a generation down
And modern music could be the healing sound
It's the only way
Only way

Cause we, we will still need a song
To carry our love away
To carry it away
We will still need a song
To dance on our wedding day
To carry it away

And we will still need a song (we will still need)
To carry ourselves (to carry ourselves)
To carry ourselves

And we, we will still need a song
To carry our hearts away
To carry them away
We will still need a song
To dance on our wedding day
To carry it away

Last chance..........
(apparently the website I found these lyrics on really didn't know what went next...)

Cause we, we will still need a song
To carry our love away
We will still need a song
To dance on our wedding day
To carry it away
