We Must be in Love

This post is actually dedicated to one of my B.L.A.C.K. brothers who is gettin married this weekend (congrats M. Moore...do it big homie!). As he and I had a conversation about the whole marriage deal, it made me think, which songs would define my wedding? Now I know that there are PLENTY o songs out there that could convert as wedding songs, but I believe that wedding music should be specific to the couple that's getting married.



Now I know that I'd have to compromise some things, because my tastes aren't going to always directly line up with my wife's; but there are some songs that are MUSTS in my wedding. Now everything is not going to be all slow dances, and tearjerkers. But these songs are those that I would recommend in ANY wedding (now the reception..thats' a whole different post right there.

In my opinion, music for the wedding should fit the occasion at hand. A serious moment where you and your bride (or groom) to be are about to join as one under the eyes of God. Me personally, I don't think that coming down the aisle to some uptempo beat (insert any of the millions on deck) should be incorporated into your ceremony. You may get a few side eyes from the guests, and definitely the evil eye from the mothers. lol. Not a good way to start off relations with your new in-laws. LOL

But below are some songs that I would love to have in my wedding (if I ever have one...I'm still prayin on that one. lol)

Boyz II Men - I Do: This song is definitely a wedding song. I mean, if you listen to the lyrics, they pretty much give you the vows to say. LOL

Kenny Lattimore - For You: Classic wedding song. If you really love this woman, then this song will show everyone through song.

Jaheim - Forever: A nice ghetto swing to it...but still appropriate for all age limits.

Intro - Ribbon in the Sky: Now I know folx will not feel me on this one, but guess what, I think that Intro's version was better than Stevie's. *shrugs*

Beyoncè & Luther - The Closer I Get to You: Now I tried to get away from Luther, since we all know that the majority of his slow ballads were wedding/baby makers lmao, but hey, we gotta give the man props when props are due.

Brian McKnight - Never Felt This Way: This here...coupled with a beautiful bride, will have not a DRY EYE in the building if played while she's walking down the aisle. Alicia Keys did a wonderful version of this song as well, but only as an interlude.

and even this one:

will work out what you want to say to her, especially if you can't figure out the right words for her. Just listen to Jesse....he can give you some pointers (as long as you don't plaigarize his song).

The way you walk
the way you talk
the way you say my name, your smile
The way you move,
the way you soothe me
the way you sing softly through the night
Every morning you rise
and open your eyes
I just wanna be with you baby
I just wanna be yours
From this day forth.

The Greatest Sex......songs

As I'm sitting here, listening to music, a certain wave is definitely coming over me. So tonight, I'm gonna post about some music that could definitely take you "there" with that special someone.

First off, I'm gonna start off with one of my current personal favorites: Mr. Raheem DeVaughn. Two songs that I would recommend adding to ANY sex CD that you create would be "You" and "Love Drug".


I mean look at this small excerpt from "Love Drug": You appear as though you're from Columbia. You's keep it tight for me like Ziplocs. And I just got high when we lip lock... and you just got high when we lip lock. So you search for me with a flashlight, in the daylight... cause I'm your get right. So no one serves you up girl like I can. I'm your Mr. Midnight pusher man. I mean doggone...after reading that, I feel like I need a cigarette...a cigar, some weed...SOMETHIN. He definitely will give you everything you want, and more of what you need, in order to set the mood where you tryin to get it.

Next, we'll move on to Maxwell: Sumthin, Sumthin (Mellosmoothe Remix). Now it's bad enough that this particular song was created for one of the most LOVE FILLED movies in all of life: Love Jones, but I think he knew that draws would be droppin while gettin your swerve on to this song. This is one of those songs that will never fall off the "Sex Play" list on the iPod

Another blast from the past would be Kut Klose's "I Like". This is a joint from the early 90's that started exuding sex from the first beat drop. I love it because even though it's almost 20 years old, it still can get the mood right and tight before you realize what's happenin.




Another personal favorite would be Beyonce's "Speechless". From the moment she starts singing this song, it's dripping with all kinds of sexual tension for even the most hardened of hearts. Any man/woman who makes an attempt at seduction while playing this song, will definitely enjoy the end results. What makes this song even more great is the fact that she gives you a nice climatic ending to the song, and when she's finished, she ends it on the high that only Bey will give you - the afterglow. Definitely an A+ for Mrs. Carter on this effort!

And to round out this post, I must end with Ne-Yo. This man can write music for the best of em, but he will give you a nice sex song himself, that will have you making sure that you don't need to wipe yourself down. A perfect example of that are the following lyrics from "Say It": Your body whispering from under the sheets I hear it moaning, begging loud and clearly I'm rather fluent in the language it speaks But it's your mouth I want to tell it to me. OK...I'm not sure who told Ne-Yo that these lyrics are permissable for anyone under the age of 23 to hear these, but there's gotta be a law against this. Glad I'm well above that age. LOL.

All in all, there are many songs out there that will help you set the mood just right. Depending on your age, and your song preference, you could put together the right collaboration that could keep you locked indoors for quite some time during the night. I just hope that you buckle up....something tells me with those types of songs, it'll be a wild ride.
