Music Meme - Day 23

Day 23. A song that you want to play at your wedding

If you ask Mark this question, I'm 98% sure he will say Indigo Girls - Power of Two. It's a pretty song and it's very romantic.

However, there's a 2% chance he would say this one, and I think I would too.

Matthew Sweet - We're the Same

When Mark and I first met, we worked together at Toys R Us. I was always trying to talk to him and make him laugh, but usually I was more of a pest. (For the record, I was the worst employee ever.) But, at some point, that changed. I had finally made it on to his radar.

He had heard me talk about Matthew Sweet, who I was really in to at the time. As a gesture, he bought me his current album, 100% Fun. I already owned it, so I told him to keep it and listen to it himself. We both totally got in to it. In a way, that album is sort of the soundtrack to our courtship. Gross, did I just say "courtship"?!

I would love to hear this at our wedding.

I don’t have to speak, and you know what I’m thinking
You don’t need to hear what I say,
I don’t have to ask, ’cause you’ll guess what I’m seeking
You don’t need to hide what you know

Very close runner up:
Imperial Teen - Butch
It's really stupid and fun. It ends with the whole band yelling "I Like You!" over and over again.

Sweet (no pun intended)! So that was in 1995? What's the age difference between you two?

95 sounds right.
Fun Fact: We're exactly 14.5 years apart. His birthday is my half-birthday and my birthday is his half.

I still want to do the big Mark post. I want to include old pictures, so it's taking a little longer than I thought it would.

Yay! I'm waiting eagerly. :)

Love Matthew Sweet....

Very cool.
100% Fun, Altered Beast and Girlfriend are classics!
A lot of his other stuff, including his newer cover albums, is neat as well.
