I hate weddings. I hate all the traditions around weddings and I think commercial businesses play on the desire to maintain those traditions as an excuse for extracting money from people. My wedding was on a beach and I wore shorts! Gee, I guess we could have played some Beach Boys tunes now that I think of it. Lol! |
Kristen Chenoweth ”Fathers and daughters” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7gDvtSErPc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLGE1h-raLo |
Personally, I'd stay away from anything that explicitly mentions fathers/daughters, and go with a song that you both jointly enjoy and is meaningful to you in some real way. Maybe something you would play when she was a kid or something... e.g. My wife and I had our first dance to "It's a Big Ol' Goofy World" by John Prine because, while it does mention "a big old goofy man Dancing with a big old goofy girl" it's not about that and it was a song we both love and fit the vibe we wanted. https://genius.com/John-prine-its-a-big-old-goofy-world-lyrics |
My daughter and I danced to this at her wedding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg8Z69B6RFQ Absolutely a wonderful, heartfelt tune. Not a dry eye in the place... |
Is there any song that two of you have memories of? It does not have to have a theme for wedding or whatever. Something two of you used to sing together? Even if it is Twinkle, twinkle, little star. It is about two of you, not about the lyrics written by someone you have probably never met. She is your daughter and you are her father. That is what matters. |
My daughter and I danced to Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey. We are both Morrison fans and she always liked that song. She had asked me to make a song list for the DJ and I had this one down for our dance and when I told her she said already had it down for our dance too. It is also nice and slow for us non-dancer Dads. |
My daughter and I danced to KC & Sunshine Band's "Boogie Shoes," but that was something of an inside joke and probably not one anyone else wants to replicate. But it was special to us. Which, by the way, is likely to be the case for you too -- anything you pick will immediately become special. Congratulations … or belated congratulations, as the case may be. |
