Song for Mother and Son dance

Mike28, on April 28, 2015 at 4:38 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 36

Hello,

I have asked my mother what song she would like to dance to for groom and mother dance. She gave me a pretty long list with no preference of which song. I have narrowed it down to 4 songs and would like to get some outside opinions. The 4 songs I have narrowed it down to are:

Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd

https://youtu.be/sMmTkKz60W8

My Wish by Rascal Flatts

https://youtu.be/xz32I_GbpeU

Mother Like Mine by The Band Perry

https://youtu.be/Yh8AejdapNc

The First Lady In My Life by Paul Todd

https://youtu.be/5tm4INLxQgY

Let me hear what you think and maybe I'll be able to narrow down the choices a little more. Thanks!

    I just love My Wish by Rascal Flatts. But Simple Man is a great song for mother son dances also. I can see your dilemma, these are all great songs!

    Out of those, I'd pick Simple Man.

    FH and his mom have it narrowed down to All To You by Scott Keo and Mom by Garth Brooks

    Oh gosh, FH's friend danced to a cover of Simple Man with his mom a few summers ago. It was so beautiful! Maybe I'm just too much of a mush though haha.

    I like mother like mine the best. It also happens to be the most reasonable length-wise-- 3:30 minutes is about all any of your guests are going to want to spend watching you and your mom dance. If you pick one of the others, I would talk to your DJ about maybe cutting them down so they aren't quite so long.

    I didn't really think about the length of the song. Thanks for that advice

    I'm not really familiar with any of those except Simple Man and I find it horribly depressing for a wedding. FBIL and FMIL used it for their dance and FH and I still laugh about it. The lyrics also obviously say "my only son" and obviously he's not her only son.

    These are all great song choices. I like Rascal Flats.

    FH chose a Portuguese song to dance with his mom. I'm Portuguese but don't speak it so I have no idea what the lyrics are. I played it for one of my friends to hear. She started crying and said FH picked a beautiful song. I guess he picked a good one!

    FH and his mom are dancing to Simple Man but the Shinedown version. We went to a Shinedown concert and she came with us, that's the only reason we aren't doing the Lynyrd one. She also likes My Wish by Rascal Flatts and I LOVE that one but Simple Man just has a special meaning to them. Although its really long.

    @Ruth do you happen to know the name of the song? My brother danced to a Portuguese song with my mom and I wonder if its the same one. Everyone was in tears. My sister did one with my dad but I don't want to do the same.
