Wedding Songs

Are Amos Lee Songs fit for a wedding?

You are a big fan of a particular singer and you think will be awesome to play some of his songs on the best day of your life. Listen to the lyrics and see if they are fit for the occasion and for expressing your feelings. I’m addressing below especially to Amos Lee’s fans.




For those who don’t know, Amos Lee is a 27 years old American singer and song writer from Pennsylvania. He is also a famous guitarist who sings different musical styles such as folk, jazz and soul. Amos Lee has recorded three alums called Amos Lee , released in 2005, Supply and Demand , released in 2006 and Last Days at the Lodge , released in June 2008. The fourth album, Mission Bell, will be released in January 2011.

Lee has been on the same stage with big names in the music industry such as Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello. Amos Lee performs together with the Fred Berman, drummer, and the Jaroplayed, bassist. His music is considered to be a fusion of folk and soul.

Speaking about wedding music, if you are an Amos Lee fan and you want to include some of his songs into your wedding reception, it’s good to know that not all his lyrics are good for your wedding reception. Only some of his songs can fit perfectly to some of the most important moments of the wedding reception such as the first dance or the father-daughter dance.

Lee inspires his music from great classics like Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers and from 70s folk legends like John Prine and James Taylor. Most of his songs are peaceful, but some of them speak about the fallen world that we are leaving in. Let’s see what songs from his repertoire can be played at your wedding reception.

Arms of a Woman, a stunning classic ballad, the third single on his debut album and Colors, another song from the same album are good choices for the first dance of the newlyweds and the father-daughter dance. The first is a tender song about a man missing his loved one. “Colors” was also played on the soundtrack of Just like Heaven movie and on the final season of Grey’s Anatomy.

Baby I Want You recorded on the Last Days at the Lodge album is also a tender and slow song frequently played as a first wedding dance song.

Sweet Pea from Lee’s second album, Supply and Demand is considered to be one of the best choices for a father-daughter dance because its lyrics express the strong relationship between a father and his daughter. The song was also used in 2007 in some television commercials for a phone company.

All my friends, the last song from his first album, can be played as a tribute brought to your closest friends and best men.  You can use it for the last dances of the evening to thank them for their participation and help.

Check all his songs and pay attention to his upcoming album called Mission Bell. You might find interesting tracks there. Stay with me could be something nice for your event.
