Mother and Son Songs Help! Sorry so long!

Mrs. Traves, on October 13, 2011 at 11:52 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

Okay my FH has his real mom and step mom, his step mom has raised him since he was very young, but was a rough time with her for all his siblings. Ever since his real dad and step mom have been separated their relationship is much better. For his real mom, who lives in Canada, he only gets to see her once or twice a year but is an okay relationship. How can we find songs that are not to motherly, emotionally for him to dance to? Does any one have some suggestions? All songs I listen to are either too much or something! Thanks in advance!

    My husband and his mom danced to the same song as me and my stepdad-at the same time (Have a Little Faith in me by Joe Cocker). I danced to Blessed by Elton John with my bio dad. We also considered God only Knows by the Beach Boys. I also love Blackbird by the Beatles. Also Here for you by Neil Young, True Colors by Eva Cassidy or The Wonder of You by Elvis Presley...

    If you want less traditional songs, check out the offbeat bride website, there are lots of good suggestions there: http://offbeatbride.com/2007/06/non-sappy-fatherdaughter-dance-songs

    Good luck!

    What about “ In my life” or “ Amazing Grace”......Or you can choose “ Sweet child o mine” ….....These songs are not so emotional but perfect for the mother-son dance.......

    My DH danced to "Simple Man" by Shinedown (or you can use the original Lynard Skynard version).

    We did four songs for family. My HUSBAND Smiley smile and I danced to God Bless the Broken Road by Rascall Flatts. I also danced with my father to Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart. I danced with my 10 year old son to Natural Woman by Anita Franklin and my husband danced with his daughter to In my daughter's eyes by Martina McBride. The last song/ dance had my sister, Mom, and I along with my husband in tears.

    You could just do something totally off the wall and fun like Rock Lobster or the Time Warp from Rocky Horror Pic Show - something that has everyone laughing instead of analyzing the emotional value of the dance

    MY FH and his mom is dancing to, Return to sender, by Elvis Prestley, its kind of a joke, but they love it. (She told me I can't return him lol) Good Luck finding a song and you could always ask your DJ If your having one!
