@breedmitch You just took me back to my middle school days! :)
Journey? Bleck! Steve Perry’s voice makes me throw up in my mouth.
Sorry, I got nothing in the way of slow songs. I just had to declare my hate for Journey.
Love Story by Taylor Swift.
Er, maybe that’s not really slow enough. Kids seem to dig it, though.
No one bt Allicia Keys…. new enough that they’ll recognize it.
I’m sure the Jonas Brothers have something. Isn’t that what middle school kids listen to?
You have to go super cliché and play Stairway to Heaven last :P
Oh god, I’m so old…
Angel- Aerosmith
I’ll Stand by You- The Pretenders
Pictures of you- The Cure
Always- Bon Jovi
Wonderful Tonight- Clapton
I’ll Be There- Jackson Five
Wild Horses- The Stones or that cover by that woman…
I know those aren’t current but I think they’re timeless ;)
Yah I dunno if my middle school songs would help you any, since that was a solid 10 years ago now.
I know that some of these were your favourites, but im looking for stuff written/recorded within the past 5–10 years.
I included recent songs, but I don’t think it would hurt for the younger people to hear a couple of the classic classics, at least, which I have linked to versions you can listen to.

Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson
Take a Bow by Rhianna

Shit, that’s as far as I can get into my library before I get tired.
@TitsMcGhee um… i thought “how’s it gonna be” was by Third Eye Blind… in fact i’m sure it is… i just checked my old CD’s.
Still.. great list and MAD LURVE for Mazzy Star! and Jason Mraz & Blink 182…. San Diego Musicians Rawk!
@Dr_C: Ah, shit, you’re right. I knew it was one of those late nineties pop rock guys with numbers in their name.
@TitsMcGhee
It’s a middle school dance, they are going to think R.E.M. is a the rival of M&M’s! I got 90% of those songs in my ipod, i guess for middle school you should look for something more mmm… more disney! like hannah montana and stuff… with that playlist, we are inducing the poor kids to under age drinking lol
@flameboi: I think Hannah Montana is a for an age group a bit younger than middle schoolers… the 6–12 crowd is more like it.
Slow songs for middle-school? What is next? Condoms for elementary schools?
Instead, for grades 6–8 how about uniforms for all, and ice cream socials? America is going down the wrong hyper-sexualized
oblivious path…
Middle School dances make me think of K-Ci and JoJo
When I was in middle school the slow dances were to Beth by Kiss, Babe by Styx, and Slow Dancing by Johnny Rivers. Wait, did I just date myself?
@SuperMouse : Awwww, I LOVE Beth!
@Crusader : I know! Before you know it, they’re going to be fornicating in the parking lot and reading issues of Cosmo in English!
Tearsdrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift. I have heard it on both country and pop stations.
Home by Daughtry
End of the Road by Boyz II Men.
Oh wait, you mean middle school now… nevermind.
Colour My World – Chicago
Fall for you by secondehand serenade it was me and my bffs first dance song
well i know this is way past this date but i know some of the slow dance songs they play at our middle school dances..
Irreplaceable- beyone
love story- taylor swift
with you- chris brown
all the songs along those lines.. they do play songs from disney like hannah montana but most of them are bands like paramore, boys like girls, and all that stuff! hope i helped for anything that can happen in the future!! (:
huckleberry-toby keith im thirteen that one is pretty popular so it strawberry wine by denana carter
Drops of Jupiter
Rocket man
Stairway to heaven
I totally agree with fallfor you by second hand serenade and I’ll be by Edwin McCain also Chris brown with you but also some good songs are I’m yours by Jason mraz and any slower solja boy like kiss me through the phone and Taylor swift but heck no on Hannah Montana I also have to say even though I love his music don’t play Justin bieber but also u could play any rascal flatts but watch which song u pick because about 75% of there songs are about breakups but all of these songs and artist work for a middle school demographic trust me I’m a 13 year old 8th grader… But like I said watch some of the songs because most middle schoolers get their songs in a relationships by there first slow dance with that special guy… Hope. That helps
Alrighty… I had a middle school dance last night and two of the song’s that I remember the DJ’s playing were…
Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing (by Aerosmith)
When A Man Loves A Woman (by Percy Sledge)
And, YES! I’m in Junior High and I even thought these were good songs! As did most of my friends! Hope I helped! :)
Okay, whoever is Crusader that was probably the dumbest answer i’ve ever seen on here. FYI lots of middle schools have slow dances. Should all kids be isolated? Thats how sexist people are influenced. Welcome to Earth “Crusader”!!

We {Well, the 7th graders did. I’m a 6th for like 3 days} had a dance on Friday and my sister’s friend said that song from Twilight was really romantic.
I believe it’s Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine.
I’d dance to it, especially if it was a slow dance.
