Good "Son" Songs
 

I am throwing together a video of my 7 month old and need background music that has something to do with the subject of the video...His name is Luke in case there are any (non-star wars) Luke songs...

I already have Arms wide open so that is the general type of tune I am looking for.

John Lennon: Beautiful Boy

Harry Chapin: The Cat's in the Cradle
Cat Stevens: Father and Son

don't ya think "The Cat's in the Craddle" is a little depressing?

House at Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins

Yeah, save that one for his H.S. graduation video. :)

:up: Lennon

Barenaked Ladies- What a Good Boy
Alison Krauss- Baby Mine


Cat Stevens- The Wind is a great tune for this sort of thing.

"Bridge" by Queensryche

It's about a absent father trying to suddenly "bridge" the gap between him and his son.


...ok maybe not.

Didn't Tommy Lee have a piano piece dedicated to his son? I thinkit's on the THEATER OF PAIN cd from Motley Crue

Actually Motley had BRANDON (A name I personally hate) on Generation Swine...Whist I love the Crue I can't stand this song (or the fact that they had the nerve to play it in concert)

Dr Dean is right about BRANDON

You're thinking of HOME SWEET HOME, I think

Johnny Cash: A Boy Named Sue

If you can find it, "My First Child" by Nil Lara is a simply beautiful song that may fit (especially if Luke is your first child).

I have a son
Growing inside
I've seen the response of God in me
Coming to life
Kicking me strong
Draining my blood

You're my first child
I'll show you no harm
I'll teach you my love

Waking at night
Wanting caress
I'll keep you warm beside my bed
Together we'll rest
Deep in your sleep
My body's your glove

You're my first child
I'll show you no harm
I'll teach you my love

arrorro mi nino arrorro mi amor

Smelling my skin
Feeling my face
I'll feed you each and every time
You cry into space
Holding my hands
Clutching my heart

You're my first child
I'll show you no harm
I'll teach you my love

Growing away
Taking my soul

You're my first child
I'll lose you someday
To some other love

You're my first child
I'll lose you someday
To some other love

I'll lose you someday

arrorro mi nino arrorro mi amor
duermete pedazo de mi corazon...

I'll lose you someday...

You can find a lot of good "son" songs on the Buena Vista Social Club CD:

If you want even more, Ibrahim Ferrer has a solo CD of son songs.

I second this song. I'm 23 and this song makes me want to have kids.
