Father-daughter dance song

Nicole, on December 3, 2017 at 4:45 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 11

Has anyone picked an unconventional father-daughter dance song? My Father's Eyes by Eric Clapton has always had a different meaning to me than the song was actually meant to be and I've been playing with the idea of choosing it as the song I dance to with my dad. I'm worried that it will perceived wrong since the original meaning is kind of sad. Has anyone else chosen a song that didn't have the same meaning in actuality that it meant to you?

    Just remember it's your day and if the song is special to you and your dad, use it and be proud that you two can share a connection through the song.. it's one you'll never forget! Smiley smile

    The song is about his father who he never knew, so if I heard it I might think you guys had a rocky relationship or that you just got reconciled. However, most people won't be paying that close attention.

    My grandfather (who raised me) and I are dancing to Delta Dawn. I have no idea what the song means. But growing up every Sunday morning I'd come in in my church dress and stand on his toes and he'd sing Hailee Dawn to me.

    It's such a good memory to me and I don't think anyone will pay enough attention to care.

    My dad and i are dancing to "Butterfly Kisses". He was so excited when i told him! He used to play that song for me when i was little and gave me butterfly kisses before bed. If it has a special meaning to you and your dad, go for it

    My dad and I will be dancing to "The River" by Garth Brooks. We had a rocky relationship for a long time but in the last few years have become pretty close. To me the song is about following your heart and staying true to yourself, and I know that's what he has always wanted for me.

    We are dancing to wild flowers by Tom Petty and I think it's about an ex girlfriend, but my dad and I love Tom Petty and I love the song so I'm doing it anyway!

    You do what's meaningful to you and your father.

    We went with Sweet Child O' Mine, covered by Jasmine Thompson. Sort of different, but it worked for us

    We danced to "Until the Summer Comes" by The Steel Wheels. My dad was a SAH dad while my mom worked, and as a child I was an extremely picky eater ... so the opening lyrics "Hey, hey, can I go out and play ma? See, I ate all my dinner....." had particular meaning for us. No one else attending got it, but it made him laugh so it was the perfect song for us.
