Playing For Keeps


So, I've had two friends ask me to make wedding playlists for them within the past couple of weeks. Aside from Nobel Peace Prizes and having kids and stuff, I can't think of anything that would make a man more proud than to be asked to provide the music that will be played at someone's wedding. Ha. They have definitely come to the right place. I'm really not one to brag, but I will admit to having impeccable taste in music. But, let's face it. I'm entirely biased...

Now, let's get back to business. I was listening to an old favorite last night. Okay, maybe I'm not being completely honest. I was listening to an old favorite last night, but I wasn't the only one listening to it. Mindy was also listening to it and she may or may not have been in my arms while it was playing. Crap, we may have even been slow dancing to it—I know, I know, but a guy's gotta have a little romance in his life, right? Anyway, this one is one of my all time favorites. It comes to us from Peter Bradley Adams and is called "Keep Us".

I love it because if you listen to the lyrics, it's not so much a song as it is a prayer. I can only hope to have the same desires when I am wed and lying in bed with my bride. But seriously, if I were told to choose 20 of my favorite songs ever, this would be on that list.



Peter's got some other crazy smooth songs you should look up. I love Song for Viola, Ohio and Los Angeles. Check them out. You'll be glad you did.
