Father Daughter song...what do you think and advice on song.

Devon, on April 25, 2016 at 5:18 PM Posted in Planning 0 13

Do NOT want a country song (not a country fan at all) or a sappy father daughter song (that's just not us) My 3yr old daughter just had her first dance recital this weekend and this was one of the songs the older girls did. I've been struggling with finding one and this one just clicked. What do you think? Just keep racking my brain.

    The song you posted is really beautiful, and an excellent choice. The list we provide our couples includes the following suggestions for Father Daughter dances:

    Natalie Merchant - Kind and Generous

    Edwin McCain - Walk With You

    The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun

    James Taylor - You’ve Got a Friend

    Simon & Garfunkel - The 59th Street Bridge Song

    Maybe think about some of his favorite songs and pick one that you could dance to. I'll probably pick a Johnny cash or James Taylor song.

    My sister used a David Allen Cole song: you never even called me by my name. One of my dads favorites, it was cute! But older country.

    Not sure if you're on mobile or not, but on a desk/laptop you can see the song list here on WW. I'm on mobile so I don't think I can post the link

    My dad and I are dancing to The Beatles In My Life.. it reminds me of when we I was little and we used to listen to it. Maybe think of something you guys used to listen to or a song he likes.

    We picked a country song lol. My dad loves country and every time I hear this song it makes me cry! We are dancing to "I loved her first" by Heartland.

    Were doing "My little girl" by Tim McGraw. I'm not normally a big country fan either, but the lyrics really hit the nail on the head for us. It was between that and "I turn to you" by Christina Aguilera.

    I think it matches what you're going for, not sappy and not country. I know you don't like sappy country songs but here's one Smiley smile

    Update, dad doesn't really care for that song. He looked up songs last night and sent one to me. He is a big Cheap Trick fan and growing up my parents played it a lot around the house so I include them in one of my "classic rock" bands I really like. It's the lead singer singing with his daughter live. After he sent it to me I told him "YEP, that's it. You know I have always like Cheap Trick".

    Funny thing too is my parents first dance was to Cheap Trick - The Flame.

    It's a long song (6min) so going to have it edited a bit to make it shorter. Delete the guitar solo & towards the end when they start to repeat just fade out. Thinking we should be able to get it under 4 minutes. So what do ya think?

    Another one we both really like it Old Man from Neil Young but my mom thinks it's probably not a best choice, but also likes it
