Top 5 Slow Dance Songs

I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance

Prom can be a very special night for a couple. The night has its ebbs and flows (family photo taking is definitely an ebb, or maybe a flow, whichever is the bad one). Quite possibly the one slow dance of the night has the potential to be the peak, and in my case it definitely was. I went to Prom with my then girlfriend, Jenny, and the slow dance was by far the highlight of the night. It was five years ago and yet I still have a distinct image of that moment and man was I a horrible dancer (still am). So here is a list of songs that will almost guarantee an equally as special moment

5) Jonas Brothers "When You Look Me in the Eyes"

Is this one the greatest slow dance slow songs of all-time? Probably not. But those boys are just too adorable. Not to mention that Joe is right around Prom going age. Who would be a better slow dance partner?


4) John Legend "Slow Dance"

"Slow Dance" is the most meta of slow dance songs. What can be better than a slow dance song named "Slow Dance" about slow dancing. Otherwise, the song is just phenomenal, great groove and some feel good lyrics. Nothing can inspire your date to get up and dance than Legend preaching to forget all your worries "and let the music make you move."

OMG Sam Cooke made the list. So cool! :D
I do like the Jonas Brothers!
I really don't care for any of those songs, just not my style.
Actually, on my prom most of the slow songs were country {I'm not
a fan} and an Aerosmith song. Since it was kinda of awkward with
my guyfriend I didn't really want to so we didn't. To me, it was
more like the songs you play on the way to from from prom in the
car. Because in prom, half of the time it was preppy people
deciding on what music was to be played {hence more country, rap,
and barely any 80s [i like]} even though I was a prom committe
member. We played stuff from The Beatles - The Who - Rob Zombie -
Sean Paul - Tears For Fears, and other random stuff lol.
I love these songs and artists. My most favorites are The Jonas
Brothers, John Legend and John Mayer.
All songs listed are definitely good for slow dancing. I don't
think it really matters if you can dance or not. It's the fact
that you do TRY to dance with your girlfriend/boyfriend. I myself
can dance, my boyfriend can't.
i feel a bit sad, i have no idea what any of these songs are. =O
The Jonas Brothers have awesome songs! I love them! I also love
the words 2 "When You look me in the eyes".
I thinks I know some of those songs, got to find and listen the
rest.
Oldies but goodies for prom.
I learned that John Mayer's "Gravity" is the song he's been trying
to write during his entire career.
My prom only played 2 slow songs, and they were back to back. I
only remember one, which was "Open Arms" by Journey -- AWESOME
slow song :D
Love the song "Gravity", by John Mayer! Can't stop listening to it
over and over again.. I'm haappy it is on the kiwibox's top 5 slow
songs... =)
Etta has a great voice and puts emotion in each song. She is in my
morning Zune playlist.
I love these songs but lets be real kids now have no idea who Sam
Cooke and Etta James are. Beautiful songs none the less.
Ahhh... the slow dance. I remember that basically all we did was
hold on to each other and sway. Kinda hard to call it dancing.
Worst song to dance to? Stairway to Heaven!
I don't remember any slow songs at my prom either. It would have
been nice to have one or two I think. As for these songs.. the
only one I know is the last.... I might know gravity but im not to
sure.
I hope they play "When you look me in the eyes."
At my prom, there was no slow songs. Maybe the last song of the
night possibly? Prom is suppose to be elegant, but its also meant
to be a fun time! The Last social event of the year, and for most,
of their high school experience!
I know Jonas Brothers "When You Look Me in the Eyes" (good song)
and I my have heard John Mayer "Gravity" but I need to look into
the others.
I am ashamed to say I have no clue about most of these songs so I
think I need to go listen to these songs. I love the slow dances
because there is nothing better than to be wrapped up with the one
you love and forgetting about everyone else around you.
Slow songs are great for wedding songs and Etta James' is nice.
Slow dancing can be fun when you're with someone you care about.
Personally at my prom I don't think I did it at all and if I did
it was likely with a friend, but I still had a good time.

I like almost all of John Mayer's and John Legend songs so those
two are perfectly at home on this list.
I haven't heard some of these, but I love slow songs.. I will be
checking these out on youtube!
I love the Jonas Brothers song.
John Mayer is my total fav of those!
