Father/Daughter Dance

Chelsea, on April 21, 2017 at 1:42 PM Posted in Planning 0 30

My dad wants a classic rock song for our father/daughter dance, but I cannot for the life of me find an appropriate one! I feel like I have to be missing the obvious here lol. What are you dancing to with your father/mother/special someone?

    If you're looking for rock how about Sweet Child O' Mine, Here for You, or You're My Best Friend?

    @WWJo, thanks for the recommendations! Are you referring to Here for You by Neil Young?

    Daddy and I are going to dance to "Sweet Pea" by Amos Lee. Not a rock song, though.

    No way on Brown Eyed Girl. Not appropriate for father daughter at all.

    The song doesn't have to be about a father and a daughter. Just pick a song he likes.

    I'm dancing to "Waterloo Sunset" with my FFIL... nothing to do with our relationship. Just a song we both love. Smiley smile

    @likeberry, good call haha!

    It's truly shameful I haven't been able to nail one down since it's pretty much the only thing I listen to.

    @Melissa, while I love Stevie Nicks, I feel like this song is too depressing for the occasion considering it's about her mother dying.

    ETA: and yes, I know it doesn't need to be about a father and daughter, I'm just having a tough time finding one that has the right tone. I know I'm probably overthinking.

    I never realized it was about her mother dying. I've always loved the song and my dad is a Stevie Nicks fan. I was at a wedding once and it was the father/daughter dance! Well, let's see if I can come up with another 'great' idea!! LOL

    Haha no worries, I didn't know either until recently. My SO is a huge Stevie fan and we were listening to it on vinyl one day and he told me the story behind it lol

    Ok - let's try this again:

    In My Life - Beatles

    Wildflowers - Tom Petty

    @Melissa, so funny story, I'm wrong! (Rather, my SO obviously doesn't know what he is talking about lol). I just looked up landslide and there's an article from Stevie and it's totally not about her mom dying. So, whoops and my bad!

    However, I really like the Tom Petty suggestion! Dad and I used to listen to Tom all the time when I was little!

    We are dancing to Love Me Tender because my dad loves Elvis Smiley smile You can always find a softer version of a classic rock song too. My mom and brother danced to a remake of Simple Man by Shinedown that was much more appropriate for their dance than the original.

    I'm walking down the aisle to "In My Life" by the Beatles in memory of my dad. It would make a great father-daughter dance song as well!
