When my DD was at primary school every time the parents were gathered for anything (school show/ year end/ meeting etc) the head teacher would make a slide show of photos of the children and accompany it with music, with the sole purpose of making parents cry! grin

I can't remember the song that was always played and now it is really annoying me, please help!

It is along the same lines of "lean on me" but now I have that in my head I can't think of anything else.

So think cheesy, about children working together, growing up, inspirational, with the aim of making parents emotional..what song comes to mind??

Please help, it's driving me insane!

But think it's too obvious!!

He ain't heavy, he's my brother?

BeGoodElliot Tue 26-Feb-13 16:09:43

No not James Tayor, more cheesey I think.

I keep thinking it is Lean on me, but it's not, but I have that permanently in my head now which I think is what is stopping me from remembering the actual song! grin

Never walk alone - is that it?

one more step along the world I go? I don't think it is from your description but it's the one guaranteed to have me in tears.

BabsAndTheRu Tue 26-Feb-13 16:16:04

What a wonderful world

FellatioNels0n Tue 26-Feb-13 16:16:14

Who's singing? Male? Female? Fast, poppy song? Slow ballad?

My money's on this

BeGoodElliot Tue 26-Feb-13 16:18:13

Nope, they are all good, but no!

Honestly, I can't believe I can't think of it, I sat through it for 7 years, I have such a terrible memory.

I think maybe it is about achieving potential. I realise I'm not giving you much to go on here, so thanks for trying! grin

can you ring the school and ask them?

BeaWheesht Tue 26-Feb-13 16:20:20

Get by with a little help from my friends

BabsAndTheRu Tue 26-Feb-13 16:21:38

Man, this is totally bugging me now, got to find out. Does it mention friends in it at all. Was thinking along the lines of the Joe Cocker version of I'll get by with a little help from my friends

BabsAndTheRu Tue 26-Feb-13 16:22:25

Great minds BeaWheesht

Has anyone said You've Got A Friend In Me (the Toy Story one)?

Sorry if it's been suggested, I can't click on you tube links at work

BeGoodElliot Tue 26-Feb-13 16:25:30

None of those sorry.

But something in side so strong is good, it's along those sort of lines, similar to that and lean on me. It's a man singing.

I think if I phoned the school they would think I was insane! Although I am starting to feel insane! grin

Think I got a photo dvd when DD left, so I will look that out, it's bound to have music on it!

Stand By Me....Ben E King?
