wondermom Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hello everyone, I am trying to make a slide show of my mom with my kids to help them remember her. I have done these shows in the past for my kids' birthdays and they turn out pretty cute. I really want to make this special for them. I am looking for song suggestions. I want to keep this as upbeat as possible. My mom was so loving, energetic, and fun with my kids and I want to portray that but still have a sentimental value to it too. I am open to anything. It can be oldies or songs of today. Please give me your ideas! Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyn Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 MY WISH BY RASCHAL FLATS.... I just love this song... I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you wanna go, and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile. But more than anything, more than anything... My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. I hope you never look back, but you never forget, all the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, [and you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, and always give more than you take. But More than anything, yeah, more than anything... My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah. My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well not sure if you want something this emotional. There is a country song by Diamond Rio called God Only Cries For The Living. Then of coarse I'm not sure how or if it would fit your mom but I always thought the song My Way by Frank Sinatra says a lot about the lives we have lived.

Carleen Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 The melody is a bit on the somber side, but this song has always touched me because of it's message that although we suffer now, beautiful things are ahead for us. Might not be what you are looking for, as it's not very upbeat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O9VKd6eWT0 Superchick "Beauty From Pain" The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night And then the darkness surrounds me I know i'm alive but i feel like i've died And all that's left is to accept that it's over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that i made I try to keep warm but i just grow colder I feel like i'm slipping away After all this has passed, i still will remain After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today, Someday i'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain My whole world is the pain inside me The best i can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place And though i can't understand why this happened I know that i will when i look back someday And see how you've brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames After all this has passed, i still will remain After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today, Someday i'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain Here i am, at the end of me Tryin to hold to what i can't see I forgot how to hope This night's been so long I cling to Your promise There will be a dawn After all this has passed, i still will remain After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today, Someday i'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
