Song

[anonymous]

We are holding a fundraiser and we are looking for appropriate song ideas for the video presentation which will feature our 5 yr old daughter. Last year we used "My Daughters Eyes" & "I hope you dance". We are considering changing our songs this year. We want it to be something that people can relate to, so that when they hear it on the radio they will remember the event/cause/our daughter. It is as much about raising money as it is about awareness. Any ideas?

There is an Australian Band who have a song on CD titled "65 Roses" and also they have another song called "can somebody help" about a little girl with CF. The band is called "The Wolverines".

Whitney Heuston's 'I believe the children are our future...' I cant remember how the rest of that goes so maybe its not appropriate, Im not sure! Shamrock

 

[NoDayButToday]

I think that Whitney Houston song is called "The Greatest Love Of All"

Another great song is "Angels in Waiting", it is by Tammy Cochran...shes a country singer. She actually wrote the song about her 2 brothers who died with CF...It is a beautiful song!

Angel's in waiting is a fabulous song. I love country music, and love the song it makes me cry.there's another song called lacy's song, It's about a liitle girl asking about heaven. The little girl asks if when she gets to heaven can she touch the milkly way, and help the angels pour out the rain . she asks some other questions but It's a song worth listening to if your interested

I think Lacy's song is by Buddy Jewel, a country singer.

 

[Jenni]

Yes, Lacy's song is by Buddy Jewel Sorry I forgot to say that.

I recommend Coll's trademark signoff (and song) "No Day But Today" - Coll is that the title of the song? Another good song from the musical rent is "Seasons of Love".

Hey guys, when my daughter was born, " How can I live without you?" was a big hit. Five years later, it is still our song, cause I know, I couldn't live without her!!!!!!! "And Still" ! is another favorite, however, all of your choices are heart warming. take care

 

[NoDayButToday]

It's actually called "Another Day" from Rent. 'Seasons of Love' is probably the most famous song from Rent and would work well too.

" This is the air I breathe" is an awesome spiritual uplifting song!!! I do not know its original author, but I heard a girl with CF sing this before she spoke of her disease and it was incredible moving!!!"
