Re: Whats your song with your dad?

Since I was born my mom wanted it to be 'can't smile without you' by barry manilow ... it was 'our song' i guess cuz it was popular the year I was born I think and mymom always thought of me when she heard it. but it's not really danceable and my band doesn't know it - we didn't want to play a recorded song for such a big moment. so we are dancing to 'just the way you are' by billy joel. we listened to billy joel all the time growing up, on car trips, at home, etc and a couple lines are just really appropriate for us.

i loved 'i loved her first' too but again, my band doesn't know it.

Not 100% yet, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be 'Daddy's Little Girl'....I know it's completely overused, but it's what my dad always used to sing to me when I was little....

We used 'Your Joy' by Chrisette Michelle. Its a beautiful song and she has a great voice! She is an acquaintance of DH and friends with some guys in his band. Im not sure if her cd is readily available in music stores, but I believe you can buy it on itunes. Its a perfect father daughter song.

If the song is really imporant to you, you should ask the band to learn it. They still have enough time- Im sure they would be happy to do it- its one more song they can have for other events.

We have them learning a few other things, and they really only learn 3-4 songs per wedding, which is understandable. Plus, like I said, it's not really danceable ... it's a weird tempo. I am playing it at the cocktail hour - we are making a cd to play - it's really my mom who thinks of it as 'our song' - and she doesn't know I am playing it so she will probably get all choked up

I'm using Father and Daughter by Paul Simon. I didn't want anything too mushy and I love the lyrics.

Not that this will help anyone decide, but my Dad is a musician and when I was born he wrote me a song (aptly titled 'Jessie'). He went into a studio and recorded it before the wedding and our band took a break and played that as our dance.
