Queen – Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Official Video)

This song has a vaguely Elvis Presley-like melody, with Freddie Mercury expressing love in a rich, sexy lower register.

The way the lyrics treat love as a single, unified entity is delightfully ironic.

This song used in the 1994 film “When a Man Loves a Woman” was sung by Michael Bolton as a cover, but I recommend his version because it doesn’t feel as dated.

I love the key change partway through.

The lyrics are about how a man will sacrifice anything for love.

Chicago, the rock band known to all, delivers a gem of a ballad tenderly wrapped in everlasting love and gratitude.

Its refreshing piano tones and warmly resonant melody line stir emotions that bring a lump to your throat.

Released in October 1984 and reaching No.

3 on the U.S.

Billboard chart the following January, this major hit appears on the album Chicago 17.

It gracefully weaves deep feelings and appreciation for a loved one, celebrating the wonder of fateful love.

Perfect for making life’s important moments even more memorable, it’s a popular choice for special occasions—such as a first dance at a wedding.

Fly Me To The MoonFrank Sinatra

Everyone must have heard it at least once.

The soothing, deep voice of jazz legend Frank Sinatra is truly comforting.

I think it would create a romantic atmosphere at a wedding or reception.

It might also work well as background music for the candle-lighting ceremony.

Better TogetherJack Johnson

This is a song by Jack Johnson, a singer-songwriter from Hawaii.

Its laid-back sound evokes Hawaii’s blue ocean, and the honest, heartfelt lyrics make it a soothing track.

If you use this song as background music and incorporate a first dance like at American weddings, it could add a nice, distinctive touch to your event.
