It’s a great song with an epic 80’s build up and production style. I think people can almost universally agree that Carly Rae Jepsen is the most indie cred of the modern pop divas and acceptable to audiences both hip and square. I’ll give you guys an easy one with this one. If the song doesn’t make you cry, the video will, with all sorts of great MTV style outtakes of Boy George in his prime. Hopefully, you all remember Boy George from the 80’s and this is his colab with Amy Winehouse producer Mark Ronson. I wish I had more space to talk about a few other contenders we’ve gotten in this category including Father John Misty “Everyman Needs a Companion” and Sufjan Stevens “Futile Devices” but this one, my gosh. We’re slowly accumulating quite a few LGBT clients and this one really killed me. “Wild Horses” was originally written by The Flying Burrito Brothers but made famous by The Rolling Stones. We’ve had more than a few weddings along these lines including one where we literally drove to Joshua Tree to do an all Gram Parson’s themed event and stayed in the hotel where he died. And you can’t talk about 70’s country rock without mentioning Gram Parsons of The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Byrds. We get a lot of country weddings, but more often than not they are more of the hipster alt country 70’s variety. The Flying Burrito Brothers – “Wild Horses” We’ve done a couple of different takes on the idea including a classic folk wedding, a summer of love wedding, and a couple of Wes Anderson style baroque pop weddings. We live in California, and so we get a lot of clients that want to riff on that and give their family the real California experience. I used this one to set up the moment before the processional once and it brought the house down. We get a lot of clients that pick things like Mazzy Star “Fade Into You” which sort of blend folk elements and 90’s indie reverb. In the annals of epic songs that will make you cry, this one’s got to be way at the top.

James Murphy really knows how to steal from the masters. It’s kind of afrobeat and super good in the same way as Talking Heads “This Must Be the Place” only way more energetic and upbeat. I had actually never listened all the way to the end of the record to hear it. We actually get a lot of clients that are other DJ’s and this one the clients came up with. This is my new favorite wedding last song. And way better than the folks who for some reason request “Once in a Lifetime.” I get it, it’s kind of a real heart breaking, end of a long journey kind of song. We even had a wedding where the couple had turned it into a giant neon sign for everyone to take pictures in front of. This one must be our single most requested ceremony song. If that bassline played like a lead doesn’t make you cry, I don’t know what will. We get a lot of punk rock clients and this one is an irrefutable classic among a certain set. It was also the last song we played at our friend’s wedding in 2007 and the processional at our first client’s wedding in 2014. This is the song our company is named after.
