 | 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. |
