Brother/Sister Dance

Hi all - my father passed away and I am having my 26 yo brother (younger) walk me down the aisle. We are very close. My question is...what is an appropriate brother/sister dance song? We do not want Unforgettable, What A Wonderful World or Wind Beneath My Wings. My brother is an excellent dancer, believe or not, so we could kick things up a notch, ala Queen's 'You're My Best Friend' or Seals and Croft's 'Diamond Girl.' Any thoughts? Are the lyrics to these songs too romantic?

Re: Brother/Sister Dance

I'm not sure what you mean by kick it up a notch, do you mean you want something fast beat and funky?

Anyway here are a few nice songs that are appropriate for brother/sister dance:

Elton John's 'Your song'
Kenny Rogers 'Through the Years' (I love this song, just thinking of it, gives me chills)
Paul Anka 'Times of your Life'

Good luck! I think this is such a nice idea

PS - These are all slow, I'm not really sure what you meant in your post, sorry, hope I helped

Re: Brother/Sister Dance

I wanted a dance with my 2 brothers as well and spent weeks thinking about an 'appropriate' song
We then realized that we were driving ourselves crazy and gave up thinking about it for awhile
I still need to pick something and I just dont know what myself..

maybe James Taylor.. you've got a friend?

Hmmm....I will think about it. I think you should kick it up a notch. Since it is not a traditional dad/daughter thing then go with a faster song.

Re: Brother/Sister Dance

I danced with my brother at my wedding we used 'I Turn to You' by Christina Aguilera

Edit to Say: I thought this song was perfect because its not romantic and it sounds more like a good friendship song.
