I’ve never heard of Lifehouse, but, watching a repeat of Gavin & Stacey last night, I heard a song that I immediately thought would make a perfect first dance song. Singing the lyrics to myself, I googled them and discovered it was You and Me by Lifehouse. It’s a waltz (I expect it to turn up on Strictly Come Dancing at some point too) with a repeated refrain of “I just can’t take my eyes off you”. Oh and the song is nowhere near as scary as the fizzogs on the band (well, two of them, anyway)…
