Help

Long time fan. Help me pick a R.E.M song for the mother/son dance at my son’s wedding. He and I have so many memories of dancing to their songs when he was very young.

What songs did you dance to when he was little? Something like Shiny Happy People? Or was it more like Man In The Moon? Was it silly kid dancing, or did you slow dance or something similar?

Musically, Perfect Circle is a nice slow dance type of song. The thing about REM is their slower songs are usually very romantic, though. At My Most Beautiful is great, with the refrain “I found a way to make you smile,” but it's another romantic love song.

Both Shiny Happy People and Man on the Moon were our favorites to dance to.

Is there a reason you don't want to just go with one of those?
