FMIL picked the mother/son song

And it is pretty morbid LOL I am NOT going to say anything because she really wants to use this song and it is an Irish Wedding song. I think she feels overwhelmed by my big Italian family and she wants to use something from her culture, lol.

Anyway, I am sure no one at the reception will notice but I am *pretty* sure it is about the mother dying.

My Son ()

My son, you were the seed of life in me
and now, I can’t believe the man I see
with pride, I watched you grow up
you wanted so much to change the world for me

My son, you gave my simple life its key
Through you I see God’s love and mystery
you build up my life with your sweet music
It’s written in the song, this melody belongs
to you and me my son

My son, I taught you everything I know
for soon, one day I’ll have to let you go
I would gladly die, if it saved you from the heartache
the fear and all the bad breaks
that tear your world apart

My son, you faced the truth and you stood tall
but now we face the hardest truth of all
I must say goodbye, but you must go on living
and when my life is through I’ll always be with you
my one and only son....
I watch you now with pride
what more is there to life
than you and me my son?

this line is definitely a son the mom in the song is kicking it:

but now we face the hardest truth of all
I must say goodbye, but you must go on living
and when my life is through I’ll always be with you


well---whatever works for her---if she's happy and your FH is okay with it--maybe ppl won't notice the end as much...

Wow, that's a pretty deep song.
Slightly morbid, but if it makes your FMIL happy then so be it!!!!!

What is your parents song going to be?

Can you tell FH that this song is about a mother dying?

oh no definitely, no one will notice.

i mentione it to FH and he made a morbid joke about how maybe this is her way of telling us something ( his family is very morbid like that )

eek though, pretty deep. I mean its not like she picked it out from the music and I searched for the lyrics - she SENT them to me so she read them too. . .

Maybe FH marrying me is slowly killing her. . .

I chose an italian song called Figlia Mia

about your last line. Hmmm i guess she just likes everything else the song says but yeah wonder why she would use it when it ends that way.

funny thing is that the song that i chose in italian - when you look at the lyrics its about how the dad wants to protect his daughter from the wolves in the world and that when his daughter leaves she will only encounter evil

LOL

but overall its about how he loves her and wants to protect her but when she met this guy he knew that she was no longer his little girl any more

he was right though, ha ha dads know!!

yeah see thats what i meant, in italian the word wolf is actually used more commonly to describe the way a person is...here its used but not as much and you definitely wouldn't just call someone a wolf.

The Irish are famous for their depressing music. FH says that in old Irish culture, they love to be miserable.
