The Way I Am

October 3rd, 2007 @ 12:56 pm by Mrs. Bee

Ever since Mr. and Mrs. Monkey danced to The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson for their first dance, I’ve been playing the song on repeat.  Here they are clapping during the parts of the song where there are claps! (I hope you guys don’t mind that I posted this - your first dance was too adorable!)

Alternating on the other side…

The song was featured on the Grey’s Anatomy soundtrack. Here’s a great live performance on Carson Daly.

The Way I Am

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I’d find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I’ll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.

This sweet song is addicting! :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have had this song stuck in my head, but only the part that is in that commercial. It has been driving me nuts that I didn’t know who it was. I LOVE the tone to her voice.
I’m off to iTunes now.

Ok now I don’t feel like a freak for putting it on repeat when I found out what the song acutally was the other day. While in repeat mode, I was just thinking how great it would be for our first dance song or if I am brave enough, actually sing the song to my sweetie.

I attended the Monkeys’ wedding as well and loved their first dance and the song too! It’s been on repeat ever since Mr. Monkey told me the name and artist of the song. =)

My fiance and I never had a “song,” but ever since we heard the song on the Grey’s Anatomy and went to several of Ingrid Michaelson’s shows, we fell in love with her voice. It was no question that this would be our first dance song. I’m glad she’s getting more recognition cause all her songs are great.

I was going to choose this song for my first song too. She was actually on the radio here in Dallas the other day and I actually texted myself her name and the name of the song.

I love it!

It’s on an Old Navy commercial, too, and I’ve had it stuck in my head and torturing people by poorly singing/humming it… and NOW I know what it is! Thank you!!!

Ingrid is my favorite! First heard her on Grey’s Anatomy, bought the CD immediately on iTunes, and played it on repeat OVER AND OVER AND OVER again for a very long time. I saw her live at a teeny tiny bar/performance space a few months ago, and it was fantastic!

We used this in our wedding after I heard a snippet of it on Greys. Now that it is on the Old Navy commercial, my husband and I are PISSED! It just isn’t the same.

Sue says:

This is going to be my first dance song also, my wedding is in April. Fell in love with it after hearing it on Greys as well. Not thrilled that it’s now the Old Navy song :T Happy for Ingrid tho. She’s awsome.
