Nobody!!! How could I have forgotten? Yes Runar, perfect music, perfect lyrics. I´m so excited for you :-) It sounds like it´s going to be a beautiful wedding.

wouldn´t I Do It For Your Love be a good song?

I Do It For Your Love has the right lyrics but I kinda feel that the atmosphere of the song is too pessimistic, maybe I´m just nitpicking here but for me it seems that it would be more fitting for sad movie with this kinda romantic bittersweet overshadow but not a wedding in the summer under the midnight sun. Thanks for the tip though.

I agree, it´s a bit melancholic. It´s a bit of a challenge with Paul´s songs actually cos they´re so multifaceted. It´s hard to find something with the right lyrics and the right melody / atmosphere. And then there are some songs where half the verses would be great but the other half not so great cos it´s bittersweet.
"A wedding in the summer under the midnight sun" - wow that sounds like a dream Runar!

"I Do It For Your Love" is, as most songs on the album Still crazy, not sweet at all and about Simon`s divorce. "Love emerges and it disappears". No wedding song.

Nobody is great, and Song For The Asking too. Runar should sing it for his wife Late In The Evening.

Yeah, I´m really looking forward to it. I chose to do it in the garden on the farm where my grandparents live(I´m an atheist so I don´t like the idea of doing it in the church), the place were I spent a lot of time when I was a kid. The place is great, with all those trees and grass and Old building.

Thanks for the help and I have to say that I really envy you of your meetings and connection with Paul. I went to London in 2006 to see him and again in Reykavik in 2008 but I never met him.

But that is the very essence of marriage, that despite being Old and saggy and rows that person is still who you want to be with!

Dear people,

I guess the only songs that have a clear positive perspective on the bond between two people are those he wrote just prior to his latest marriage: Proof (albeit a bit cynical) and The Coast. Nobody would be a bit too much about suffering loneliness and longing. Darling Lorraine, as Kelly rightly states, I deem highly inappropriate since it deals with a very arrogant man who doesn´t discover his Love until he learns about her impending death.
