Mother/son dance song recommendations for a unique situation

Tyler C., on April 17, 2021 at 11:24 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4

So I happen to have a unique situation and need suggestions for songs. My mother had a very terrible home life, and due to her age and lack of own parental support, she was unable to raise me and provide a decent life. So at age 3, she left me with my dad. I was lucky enough to have an amazing father and his wonderful mother help raise me. After 18 years of Birthday and Christmas wishes of wanting my mother, we reconnected, and I am so lucky to now have a relationship with her. Our plan is to have me do a dance with each my mother and my father's mother, as both of them mean a lot to me, one as my real mother and the other as my life-long mother figure. I have the song for my grandmother picked out, but I am not sure what song to have my mother and I dance to. I don't want it to be a superficial song, because obviously she was not there for my childhood. But my mother has done more than enough to make up for it, so I imagine there is some song out there that would more accurately reflect our story. Any thoughts?

    Glass - Thompson Square

    Up Where We Belong - Joe Coker & Jennifer Warner’s

    Always on my mind - lots of versions

    Together Again - Emmylou Harris

    Halo - Beyond

    A Song for You - Donny Hathaway originally, and lots of other versions

    I belong- Kathryn Scott

    Somewhere Over the Rainbow - a classic, but speaks to the feeling of things getting better that your story represents.
