10 Popular Wedding Songs that is actually UNSUITABLE for your Big Day (English & Chinese Wedding Songs)
Dear Readers,
So that day i was whatsapp-ing my BFF Margaret asking her which song did she picked for her 1st March-in and she reply me “Beautiful in White” so I was thinking, ahhh.. Tats a nice song.. Not bad.. But she havent got a clue for 2nd-march in song so I went to my “Wedding Song Playlist” in my youtube and thought to myself this..
“Hmm alot of ppl only think of which song is suitable and just use any common wedding song available but you all got actually look into the deeper meaning of the song? Is it really that suitable?”
So here I am to share my opinions on the song suitable to be on the “Wedding Song Playlist”!!
Actually when planning my own #CasperlynWedding Wedding Song Playlist, I already realise a few commonly used wedding songs aren’t really so suitable. Although I used one of them which I will mention below later on.
Below is the Top 10 Song which I think we brides and grooms shouldn’t really use them. I will give reasons too but mainly because of the lyrics.
Disclaimer: *This list is actually created solely by me, if there is any coincidence, it means not just me alone thinks that this song is not suitable! Then if you realise this song only Gerlyn Ong say is not suitable and you still wanna use, then go ahead lah.. Coz is your wedding mah.* So let me literate again, this list is created based on my personal opinion. You can beg to differ and I accept constructive comments if you really wanna “fight” or “defend” for the song. If I accept your reasoning or being convinced by you then I will take down the song from this blog. Otherwise, the song mentioned in this blog post are not suitable for weddings in my opinion.
Then hor, when I mention Popular Wedding Song it means I heard it on other people wedding or I know brides have been using this song. Obviously I dun give you the song which is already not used in wedding liao mah.. Like e.g “You give love a bad name” or “分手快乐” this 2 obviously people not using for wedding liao!
So if you are ready, let me start my list of “UNSUITABLE Wedding Song Playlist”
#1 A Thousand Years
(Chorus)
I have died every day waiting for you

Erm… Seriously? Wedding day you die here die there? And the word “died” was mentioned at least 3 times!!! Seriously.. Not recommended..
I know you will say this is like love you for a thousand years but wedding day mai die here die there la.. Jus inauspicious!!! Choy Choy Choy!
#2 My Heart will go on
Obviously if you watched titanic you know that Jack and Rose in the end are not together because death did do them apart… And then Rose got married in the end.. But her heart still missing Jack.
Obviously this song is about missing an ex-lover whom you will never be together with! True?
You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.

Picture the beautiful and heart-warming moment… But.. still… The lyrics really cmi…

Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

#5 Thinking Out Loud
The whole song was ok… Really ok.. This song is actually given to me by a bride-to-be friend asking me to help her access the suitability.. Then i tell her is ok… Except only 1 word in the lyrics.
I’m thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

#6 喜欢你 – Beyond or 邓紫棋 version
Is about losing your love ones commonly known as “EX” and hoping you can hold their hand or touch their face just like YESTERDAY! Dun believe? See my Canto Chinese to Singlish Translation!

已往片刻欢笑仍挂在脸上 (Last time de loving moments can still make me smile now)
愿你此刻可会知 是我衷心的说声 (I hope now you will know, the deepest thoughts in my heart.)
喜欢你 那双眼动人 笑声更迷人 (I like you, those memirising eyes, your laughters so irresitable)

This song is about a not fated and not meant to be together song! But why still many people use this for wedding?!
Let me translate it….

合:海鸟跟鱼相爱 只是一场意外 (Bird and fish in love, is jus an accident)
合:我们的爱 (给的爱) 差异一直存在 (回不来) (Our love, difference is always there…)
合:风中尘埃 (等待)竟累积成伤害 (Wind and dust accumulate become hurting)
合:当初彼此(妳我都) 不够成熟坦白 (不应该) (Last time, we both not matured enough and not frank, we shouldn’t)
合:热情不在 (你的)笑容勉强不来 (Passion no long around, smiles cannot be forced)
合:爱深埋珊瑚海 (love bury deep into the deep coral sea…)

This song is like pushing the guy to another girl lo.. And still mus bless them?! Seriously?
Please don’t use this song jus because the melody is nice or because they repeat “很爱很爱你“ for at least 10 times!!! You mus read the lyrics!!!!
Ok… So after this post you might say I am a little too over sensitive or even nit-picking the lyrics but well… is your big day. Once in a lifetime. You wouldn’t want a song to ruin that precious moment right? Don’t underestimate the power of a song especially its lyrics. Hahahhahaa! Everytime ah, when people want to choose wedding song, event songs, or even songs for their montage, usually they will ask me.. Coz I really read the lyrics… So for those we need help and wanted to hear my advice, you can email me gerzworld@gmail.com. I will definitely reply you if I see your email.
Send me your song name + singer name and I will help you see if your song is suitable. LOLOLS!
