When you’re choosing wedding songs, you want to make sure that you check the lyrics. At first glance, the title may be catchy and the tune is nice, but the lyrics might not be exactly what you want to dance to. The other thing you want to look into is the premiss of the song. While everything up to this point may seem great, knowing why the song was written may change your mind about it.

Three songs that are seemingly appropriate, but when digging a little deeper may not, are “Perfect Day”, “Every Breath You Take” and “On Bended Knee”.

Perfect Day by Lou Reeds

Pefect Day has a great tune and tempo and seemingly appropriate lyrics at first glance. However, when you dig into the premiss of this song, many people think that it is about Lou Reed’s drug addiction. The final line of the song also just kind of ruins the whole thing: “you’re going to reap just what you sow”.

Every Breath You Take by the Police

Every Breath You Take by the Police also seems like a great song for a wedding.  However, if you search around, you will find that most people think this song is about Sting’s breakup with his first wife.  Breaking up is not the sentiment you’ll want on your wedding day.

On Bended Knee by Boys II Men

While this song may seem like a good one at first, it’s actually about a guy begging his girlfriend to come back to him.  Again, this is not a message that should be played at a wedding.
