Music Ideas for Family Video Montage??

It would be helpful if we knew what type of music he likes. If he likes rock, Sweet Child O Mine (Guns N Roses). Hero by Mariah Carey might be fitting. Greatest Love of All, Whitney Houston.

Louis Armstrong, "what a wonderful world"
I don't recall the artist, but there is a great country song called "my front porch looking in" that would be a great daddy song

israel kamakawiwo'ole "somewhere over the rainbow", it is so beautiful :)

Beautiful Day ----U2

For Good from "Wicked" Soundtrack

Time in a Bottle ---Jim Croce

This is the Time ---Billy Joel

Everything Grows---Raffi ---would be really cute to all the pictures of your children

ETA:
Good Life ---One Republic
Although it's recently been overplayed and over-used in commercials, years from now when you watch the video, no one will remember or even care about that, and it's a really great song for your purpose.

Beautiful Boy--John Lennon
What a Wonderful World--Louis Armstrong
Whenever I See Your Smiling Face--James Taylor
Somewhere Over the Rainbow-Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

And here's a list of another 30 good video song choices:

Cheesy suggestions:
Forever Young by Rod Stewart
Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog or Sarah Mclachlan
Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Classic suggestions:
anything Frank Sinatra like "All of Me", "Young at Heart", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "The World on a String", "You Make Me Feel So Young", "The Good Life"

Suggestions that my own husband would probably like ;-)
I Don't Wanna Stop or Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne
Thunderstruck by AC/DC
Star Wars theme
300 theme song
The Best by Joe Esposito (from Karate Kid)

Good luck! I'm sure your husband will love it!

I would use your husband's favorite music. It doesn't really have to be family or kid themed as long as he likes it.

How about some instrumental music? Piano music by Jim Brickman and George Winston works well as background music. Some classical music sets off a slide show nicely. How about Beethoven's 5th?

The Times of Your Life....Paul Anka

You Are So Beautiful....Joe Cocker

I like Mercy me I can only Imagine it was playing on the radio when i went into labor with my son so it's special to me.

You are the sunshine of my life--stevie wonder?

Elizabeth mitchell--- three little birds

My oldest daughter and I did a video for my husband last year. I found a song on you tube called "Your my Hero" by Teresa James. Here's our's, I'm sure you can still find the song to download.

Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift

Seasons of love...not sure who sings it!

Hi A.,

If u haven't chosen a song yet, I would suggest These Are The Moments by Edwin McCain. Part of the lyrics that have always touched me:

And these are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive.
And these are the moments, I'll remember all my life.
I've found all I've Waited for,
And I could not ask for more.

Good luck with ur song choice! And let us know what u end up using. :)

"Time of Our Lives" by Tyrone Wells
"Cosmic Love" by Florence & the Machine
"Good Riddance" by Green Day

"Daughters" by John Mayer is a great one!! Also "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.

Does he have a favorite band or genre of music that would also bring out the nostalgia of his own childhood as well? How about "Bridge Over Troubled Water" I can't think of better lyrics for a parent to a child.... I get teary just thinking about it.

Beatles "Imagine"
Des'ree "You Gotta Be"
Luther Vandross "Dance With My Father" - sorta sad though...

Carly Simon-You Are My Sunshine

Sheryl Crow-All I Wanna Do

Sara McLachlan-Ice Cream, "Your love is better than ice cream"
