Date + CD help. (everyone please read !!)

Ok, first let me tell you the scenario. I'm taking my girl out within the next few weeks sometime. We're dressin up (suit / dress) and I'm headed down to Miami (or Fort Lauderdale) to have dinner. After that, I would like go out to the beach and dance. Yes, I said dance - underneath the stars (hopefully it'll be a clear night) - just the two of us. Kick off our shoes & [my] socks. I have a portable mini boombox / radio / whatever you call them that has a CD player on it.

What I need y'alls (yes, I'm from TX) help with is making a CD. I have some songs listed - actually 34 in a temp folder right now, but I will be cutting that down tremendously. I need some ideas on some good slow dancing songs. No rap or R & B (even though these are good). Well, I might have a few R & B songs on there (I already made a bedroom R & B CD for her and titled it Si Duck Shun (seduction))

Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight
Survivor - The Search is Over
Jeff Healey Band - Angel Eyes
James Taylor - You've Got a Friend
Linda Rondstat & Aaron Neville - I Don't Know Much
Debbie Gibson - Lost in Your Eyes
Edwin McCain - I'll Be

There's a few more, but I don't have time to list them right now. So, if anyone has any ideas, please share.

Also, if anyone knows of any nice places in Fort Lauderdale or Miami that are good places to eat at, list those too. I'm goin to start askin some of the guys I work with that are from that area where to go as well. Or any other ideas to add to the date. (Flower's have already been picked out).

Thanks to everyone for the input.......

PS - No, I'm not proposing...yet :D

PPS - Same girl that I created that necklace thread for - by the way, I ended up getting the 3rd one (3 diamond pendant).

If you want to impress her...big time...take her to The Forge in Miami Beach..not far from South Beach. Then there is a club on South Beach right on the beach called Nikkis Beach Club. You can sway and play or rock till you drop.

Sade - "By your side" is an awesome slow song to dance to...check it out.

Ok... time for the heavy artillery!

"Have I Told You Lately" - Rod Stewart
"Lady In Red, The" - Chris DeBurgh
"Unforgettable" - Natalie & Nat King Cole
"When A Man Loves A Woman" - Michael Bolton
"Endless Love" - Diana Ross/Lionel Richie

And the biggest gun of them all:

"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" - Righteous Brothers

(come on, how can anyone think of a slow dance and not immediately have "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" come to mind!)

Red

Limp Bizkit - No Sex.

Add that.

Limp Bizkit- Nookie !!!!

Pantera - This Love!!

No seriously though, how about some Nina Simone! Something like "sugar in my bowl".

Good call Red...

How could i forget "Lady in Red" & "Endless Love" (Happy Gilmore was just on last night too). Was about to look on my Michael Bolton Greatest Hits CD tomorrow.

All of the ones I have listed are my random MP3's that aren't on any full CD's. I'll check all my full CD's tomorrow and see what I can find. I do know there is this one song by Lifehouse on No Name Face - track 11 & 12 are both awesome, so I'll probably add those too.

But Red, she hasn't lost that love & feeling....she's got it - for me :D

Good deal!

Ahhh but remember your HS prom dance :) I don't think there is a single woman on this planet that doesn't just melt and turn to jello in your arms when that song come on the dance floor :D

Ahhh memories!

Red

If you really want her to melt tough you need:

"Unchained Melody" - Righteous Brothers

(remember the movie Ghost?)

turns her into J E L L O ! :)

Red

yeah, when you mentioned Righteous Bros. earlier, I immediately thought of Unchained Melody, so I'll add that.

Al Green- Lets stay together and some Barry White...

I have a few Barry White on the long list, but not really leaning towards them right now. I'll have to check out Al Green.

Im a little bitch, but how about NSYNC "This I Promise You". I had that in my wedding. Boys 2 Men, "Ill make love to you", but if you aint fuckin dont go with that one. Elvis "Cant help falling in love with you". UB40 version is good too.

U2 - All I Want is You
Commodores - Three Times a Lady
Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
The Eagles - Desperado
Vertical Horizon - Best I Ever Had
Extreme - More Than Words
Radiohead - High and Dry
Kid Rock - Only God Knows Why
Matthew Good Band - Apparitions
Spandau Ballet - True
Otis Redding - Sittin on the Dock of the Bay
Pearl Jam - Daughter
REM - Everybody Hurts
Rolling Stones - Wild Horses

ok, Debbie Gibson has to go first off....lol...how about "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles? Or "The Dance" by Garth Brooks?

I agree with Big Rush, ditch the Debbie! Otherwise, don't forget some Chicago, maybe You're the Inspiration or Hard Habit to Break. um, some others...

Avril L...With You
Bon Jovi...Always or Bed of Roses
Bruce Sprinsteen...I wish I were Blind or The Rising
Collective Soul...Precious Declaration or Listen or Love Lifted Me
Dave Matthews/Santana....Love of my Life
Donna Lewis/Richard Marx....At the Beginning
Kenny Chesney....On the coast of Somewhere Beautiful (yep, country..sorry)
Lifehouse...Hanging by a Moment
Rob Thomas/Santa...Smooth
White Lion...Hungry

okok i'm stopping now...good luck man!!!


kc

If you don't include the dance by Garth you are not realizing your full potential. Whatever their feelings towards country, chicks live for that song once they hear it.

Well, someone's touchy lately.

Must be "that time" again...

mnkc - these songs are good, but most have too fast of a tempo. looking for stuff that i can slow dance to. like you would at a wedding. but mentioning Richard Marx reminds me of that one song from Robin Hood soundtrack - Everything I Do, I Do It For You.

BigGreen - I'm not sure yet if I want to add any country to this. Yes, I'm from TX, and she calls me her little cowboy, but I've already made her 2 country CD's with awesome songs on it, so that's mainly why I'm trying to steer clear of country for this go round.

Excess - how could I forget Extreme's "More Than Words". Good call.

i'm getting close to finishing it up, so I'll put my final list up in a bit.

the garth brooks song from the sound track hopefloats...GOOD song...
and im gonna agree with EXCESS on this one... WILD HORSESby the sundays...

How long do you plan on dancing for you got enough songs to go from sunset to sunrise..:lol: :lol:

B

Wild Horses by the sundays def has my vote....but jewel also does a live version of it that is very classy and widely available on kazaa and the like. Go ahead and laugh at this one clowns, but "she's like the wind" by Patrick Swayze (yes, THE patrick swayze) is a good one as well. And finally, an underrated classic is the instrumental version of the St. Elmo's Fire theme song...

Wild Horses grabs a vote from me as well. Mazzy Star's Fade into You works well. Never met a woman who didn't love that song.

BG-Patrick Swayze? I guess I can't knock it untill I've heard the rythmic groove tones from Mr Road House.

How about "I swear" by John Michael Montgumry <- not sure of the spelling or by All 4 one

I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE MENTIONED 'TITANIC' my heart will go on,,journey/faithfully,,,bet midler/the rose,,,toni braxton/unbreak my heart,,,seal/kiss from a roze,,, whitesnake/is this love,,,

Here are some good ones. Have fun bro.
Tim McGraw - "My best friend" (This one is awsome)
Tim McGraw - "she is my kind of rain"
Faith Hill/Tim McGraw - "Its your love"
Garth brooks - "To make you feel my love" (Think the one adaptations was talking about)
Clint Black - "something that we do"
John Michael Mongomery - "I get to come home to you"

king samson when did you start listening to country

Fire House ---- love of a life time
