For our "birth" slideshow -- our photographer asked what music we want and I hadn't put any thought into it at all. Anyone have any ideas?

My first instinct is Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I have no idea why. I love the version from "50 First Dates".

I've seen a few with "Give me Jesus" by Jeremy Camp

I also like "Beautiful One" by Jeremy Camp

Stacey -- I love that song too! Unfort, my SIL used it.

Erin -- I'm off to check out both of those right now!

I also love somewhere over the rainbow...but since that won't work, that singer also has a version of Wonderful World?

I'm thinking either Ordinary Miracle (Sarah MacLachlan) or I've Always Loved You (Third Day) -- anyone familiar with either of those?

I think Ordinary Miracle would work GREAT!! I'm not familiar w/ the other song you mentioned.

I like them both. We say The Best Thing by Relient K is Annie's song.

Third Day is great - so many of their songs would be perfect!

Have you heard How He Loves? My sister is using it for their baby dedication video. The chorus is great.

Ordinary Miracle is a beautiful song and I love Sarah McLachlan's voice and music.

For Charlotte's adoption day video/slideshow I used the Phil Collins song You'll Be in My Heart from Tarzan. It is very fitting for birth/adoption.

For Cooper's first birthday video/slideshow I used Let Them Be Little by Billy Dean. It makes me tear up every time I hear it, but it's kind of a memory/looking back song so it may not be the best choice for birth.

For Charlotte's first birthday video/slideshow I used All My Life by Rosie Thomas which really expressed my feelings for her - the joy and the sense of sadness I felt for her birthmother. It talks about how long I've been waiting for her and how I wish I could have known her mother...seemed perfect for her. (I actually think it might be a love song, but it worked for birthday/adoption/celebration.)
