Dum Dum Da Dum

Do you know how many “wedding” songs there are out there? Jesus Lord in Heaven, it is an uncountable number. And it doesn’t help that I only know approximately 1% of them already, and therefore have to track them down on YouTube and other such sites, submitting myself to listening to them over and over and trying to distinguish one from another and then remember which ones I like the most, even though many of them sound extremely similar to my untrained ear. I would like to have some “nice” music while I walk the aisle, while people are waiting for that big moment, and etc. etc., but beyond that I have no requirements and absolutely no understanding of the selection process (not to mention no musical ability or selectivity). I think organ music is scary, but piano is nice (?).

Speaking of YouTube, you would not believe how many random people like to tape themselves playing piano and organ music and then post it online. Pick a song and just YouTube it. Do it. You will have so many choices, you won’t even believe it. If you want to listen to a second grader’s recital rendition, a professional performance, or a 75 year old’s living room hobby, complete with dying plants and hideous upholstery in the background, you can. This probably is not helping me decide which songs I like, considering the whole “video” part of it is so distracting. Good procrastination, though.
