    For My Wedding isn't my favorite song of Don's either, but I can tolerate listening to it more than the other. lol I'm just not a fan of the speaking parts of the song for some reason.

    I cast my vote for Everything Is Different Now.

    It's a nice sentiment, and I realize the creepy sound of the verse is supposed to provide a great contrast to the bright sound of the chorus, an alignment of melody and theme. In many ways, that works. However, the creepiness is still a turn off for me. Additionally, the ending is rather repetitive.

    Finally - and I know it's not reflective of the quality of the song - but I can't help but remember the horrific video when I hear it, and thus associate a headless stripper displaying her crotch to Don when he sings the line "I hate to tell you this, but I'm very, very happy." ::SHUDDER::

    I vote for "For My Wedding."

    I love the lines "To want what I have, to take what I'm given with grace - for this I pray." It's so true (and so true that I need to pray for it!!) and Don sings that part so beautifully.

    However the pacing of the song is a little slow, and the melody a little simplistic for me. It's a pretty song, but is it really one of the Very Best of Don's songs? In my opinion, there are many that deserve to be included on the album ahead of this one. I think Goodbye to a River, Month of Sundays, Talking to the Moon, Lilah, and Come Rain or Come Shine are all better than this song.
