He has been searching for that special person to make his life complete and he finally found it. He realizes this is so precious and hard to find, and expresses in the song how grateful he is because of it. In life, we all want to find that special person.

We love this song because it has a timeless, vintage feel to it. Even though it came out in 2008, it sounds like it could have been made in 1968!

The amount of soul in the vocal is so moving, and the arrangement of this song is fantastic. There&#8217;s a juxtaposition of the 6\/8 and 4\/4 time signatures which gives the tune an upbeat feel. A lot of couples we have worked with are somewhat uncomfortable with long first dances where everyone is watching them. Glory of Love is concise, and has a lot of little moving parts to keep things interesting. &#8221;<\/p> <p><em><strong>&#8211; Dave,\u00a0<a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-enabled listing-mentionable-disabled\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-listing=\"4707\">Parkside Drive<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p> <p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UjT2ZN06QMs\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p> <hr \/> <h2>&#8220;Let&#8217;s Stay Together&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0Al Green<\/h2> <p>&#8220;What can I say, it&#8217;s a classic, maybe even cliche but at the end of the day a first dance should have meaning or evoke a certain feeling.

The lyrics depict stories which many couples can relate to. Musically, it has a warmth to it, created by the sonic elements.

After our band went to go see John Mayer at the ACC last week we decided that it would be\u00a0 &#8220;You&#8217;re Going to Live Forever in Me&#8221; from his latest album. The lyrics and theme of the song are wistful and romantic but not too cheesy! It&#8217;s also presented in a beautifully sparse way that really highlights the intimacy of the moment.
