Waltz-y modern song?

hansena3 · November 2011

So my fiance suggested the other day that we take some dance lessons and do kind of a waltz-y sort of song for our first dance, which was totally awesome! Does anyone have any suggestions for a song that's maybe post-1950 that would be good? I'd kind of like it to be able to function as just a regular slow dance song in case dance lessons don't work out so well :-P

I pretty much just googled this, but this link has a lot of suggestions:

ETA: There are also a lot of good showtune waltzes, and a couple of songs from Disney movies, if that sort of thing is to your taste. If not, nm.

"Could I Have This Dance?" by Anne Murray came to my mind right away. It's not what I would call modern by any means, but it is post-'50s, and I could picture either a waltz or a regular slow dance to it. Plus it's a great romantic song.

Rainbow Connection, Kermit the Frog

FI and I are probably going to use What a Wonderful World (Loius Armstrong), it is waltzy (1960s, may not be as modern as you are looking for tho)

Agree with CMGr re: What A Wonderful World. Definitely not a waltz.

My favorite is "River Waltz" by Cowboy Junkies.

Death Cab for Cutie - Stay Young, Go Dancing (clicky)

Released this year, has a waltz count and clocks in at 3 minutes even. Perfect.

Norah Jones- "Come Away with Me" has an easy to pickup waltz
