“The reason I make music is I want my music to help people feel justified in whatever they’re feeling, especially if they’re going through hard times,” Maeson said. According to a press release, the album came together during a series of “free-flowing, highly experimental sessions” in Nashville, Los Angeles and Austin. The album was mainly produced by Maeson’s longtime collaborator James Flannigan (MARINA, Broods). It’s something that’s been in his music from the beginning, but time has only strengthened his skills. Maeson, a Nashville-based musician, has lyrics that are raw and vulnerable in a way that only a truly skilled artist can obtain. A few moments in this album did that for me.

You can collaborate with your significant other on a track that speaks to your unique love story and everything you envision for your future together, a la Dan + Shay’s “From the Ground Up.” Or you can ask your partner what they’ve dreamed about for your entrance: What song would they sing to you in a perfect world?Īhead, check out 87 of the best songs to walk you down the aisle and right on into forever.Matt Maeson dropped his sophomore album “ Never Had To Leave” on Friday and it’s so good it makes my heart hurt.ĭo you ever get those tingly sessions in your brain when you listen to really good music? That’s known as frisson, a brief moment of emotional excitement. Another option is to tease your vows to come with a song that celebrates the love and admiration you have for the person at the other end of the aisle. Another option is to have just about any song you love remixed into one with a slower, more walkable pace (this is an especially good option if you’ll be hiring live musicians to performing during your ceremony). If you tend to take a more classic approach to big-day traditions, you may want to simply opt for an instrumental or acoustic prelude or a classic wedding march. When choosing the song you’ll walk down the aisle to, you can go about it in a number of different ways. This song will play in the background as you’re walking down the aisle, so if you want to consider it your theme song, you absolutely can-we encourage it! Couples also get to choose their own entrance song for the ceremony. If you ask any married couple about their wedding-day soundtrack, chances are they’d be able to recall at least a few of the songs that starred in their day, including everything from the jams that hyped them up while they were getting ready to their memorable first dance tune to their touching parent dance songs.
