Let's get Nuptualized
Just because I couldn't figure out how to work both Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead into the wedding ceremony music doesn't mean they won't be present. I'm putting them all on a playlist that will play before the ceremony as the guests come in.
There's a catch. Ever heard of The Vitamin String Quartet? They basically redo a bunch of popular music as a string quartet. Most of it is gorgeous stuff. (There is a really iffy "Tribute to Pretty Hate Machine" that I'm just not fond of.) I'm using their arraignments of songs for my Pre-wedding playlist.
So the Pre-wedding music playlist is:
Today (Originally by the Smashing Pumpkins)
Here Comes Your Man (Originally by The Pixies)
Chasing Cars (Originally by Snow Patrol)
Just Like Heaven (Originally by the Cure)
Nothing Else Matters (Originally by Metallica)
The Fragile (Originally by Nine Inch Nails)
Airbag (Originally by Radiohead)
Beautiful Day (Originally by U2)
Paranoid Android (Originally by Radiohead)
In Your Eyes (Originally by Peter Gabriel)
In My Place (Originally by Coldplay)
Transatlanticism (Originally by Death Cab for Cutie)
I do regret that the Vitamin String Quartet version of NIN's "Ringfinger" is wretched. I would have put it up for a little bit of irony.
Most of them are off the Modern Wedding Compilation album with a few nods to specific albums. I have, in their entirity, the Nine Inch Nails and the Strung Out on OK Computer one.
I keep messing around with the order of the songs. I can't quite decide which one should follow which. Some of them don't "end" very well, The Fragile is kind of abrupt. I also wanted to kind of sneak the cooler ones towards the end so that my friends that are most likely to be last minute guys will get to hear some of them.
I will say this that Just Like Heaven is my Favorite on the playlist.
