Hi Ladies!

I'm new to this board but need a little help from you girls if possible :) I've been scowering the internet for a unique, modern, "cool" rock/alternative song we can slow dance to for our first dance. I had my heart set on Kings of Leon, but can't find anything that's perfect (I loved "The Face" by my fiance didn't so much).

Any suggestions of bands/songs for me?

Thanks!!

    "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane

    "Season of Love" by Shiny Toy Guns

    "So Much Love" by The Rocket Summer

    "No One's Gonna Love You" Band of Horses (even though this could be interpreted as a break up song, it's still beautiful)

    "You Belong Here" by Anberlin

    "You are Mine" by Mute Math

    "A Thousand Winters Melting" by The Myriad

    "Starlight" by Muse

    A lot of these a probably a bit more poppy than what you're looking for, but i hope they help. sorry your fiance didn't like the kings of leon song, it's a good song.

    Our first dance will be "A Walk Through Hell" by Say Anything. Im not entirely sure how our families will take it... but we love it.

    We also debated
    Say Anything- I Want to Know Your Plans
    Bright Eyes- First Day Of My Life
    Kings Of Leon- Use Somebody
    Brandi Carlile- The Story
