So I'm a slacker and I am just getting around to doing this for his 2nd birthday instead of his first like most people. But the good part is, y'all have already done them so I can steal your song ideas. Any suggestions?
I just watched a friend's and she used the Dixie Chick's Lullaby. I really liked it, but it seemed kind of long and I wanted to use at least 2-3 songs.
Re: What song did you use for birthday slideshow?
Oh...yes. This song WILL make you cry. My dad chose it for our father/daughter dance at my wedding. Needless to say-- full blown tears.
I just Googled it and got all teary eyed just READING the first line.... "I remember when you fit in the palm of my hand."
But it is perfect, just what I was looking for. Now I need a more upbeat one to put next. Off to listen to the Elton John one mentioned....
Nina Storey "It's Your Birthday"
Love it!
Beautiful Boy by John Lennon?
These Are Days by 10,000 Maniacs / Natalie Merchant
"Angel" by Jack Johnson. Its a little short but we had it on repeat and it turned out great.
From This Moment by Shania Twain.
LOVE it.
We had 3. St. Judy's Comet by Paul Simon, Lord Protect My Child by Susan Tedeschi and Birthday by the Beatles.
Beautiful Boy by John Lennon was also in the running. I think we'll use it this year. It seems very good for a 2 year old.
