Music that celebrates a baby/having a baby/loving something special etc

[bumbly]

please help!!!

any suggestions would be so so so appreciated!

was thinking of any genre...

Top of the World - Carpenters

Such a feelin's coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if its a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that Ive seen

I'm on the top of the world looking
down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that Ive found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

That's true about Fix You - and it makes me cry.

Flowers in the window by Travis - about pregnancy.

Playing on the radio - purely coincidentally - when I had dd was Van Morrison Have I told you lately - "Fill my life with gladness, take away all the sadness"

Paul Weller - Moon on your pyjamas.

was just going to suggest JCB song..

Listening to it on Youtube and blubbing now

My Darling Child - Sinead O Connor.

I love Kooks by David Bowie too

Beautiful Boy, John Lennon
Shhh Baby, Rory Macleod
On Children, Sweet Honey in the Rock
Little Rock n Roller, Steve Earle
The Father's Song, written by Ewan MacColl but my favourite version is by Dick Gaughan (though it does have at least one swear word in it)

By the way - this is a lovely idea, what a great friend you are. I'd have loved this as a gift.

dont know kooks am so intrigued what does it mean??

Kooks

Sweet child o mine-Guns and Roses!

Elton John - Your Song

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Can't remeber who by!

I'm in a soppy mood at the moment

FunnyFunnyby the Sweet

First Time Ever... was written by Ewan MacColl I think, it's been covered by loads of people but the version by him and his second wife Peggy Seeger is pretty good.

Mother by Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders (this was the first song I put on my labour ward mixtape) it';s a bit feisty rather than soppy tho.
ANd yet another vote for Kooks which is gorgeous.

Aww! Was just googling and found this:

WHEN A MAN NEEDS A WOMAN (Beach Boys)

You know it makes you nervous
When you wait for your boy
You wait nine months for a bundle of joy
There's a baby
Yes, there's a baby about to be born

And someday I'll put my son on my knee
And his little eyes will be looking at me
Then I'll tell him
When a man needs a woman
They make things like you, my son

When a man needs a woman
They make things like you, my son

A man needs a woman
Like a woman needs a man
When the two get together, oh oh oh
Pretty soon we'll be a family of three
Then it's not gonna be just you and me
We'll share all the goodies
With the one we bring in the world

When a man needs a woman
They make things like you, my son

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just thought of one - mother's pride geroge michael - thought i'd share!

Gosh, if you google there's loads!

"With Arms Wide Open"
by Creed

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

what search do you google???

Loving You.. . is easy 'cos you're beautiful...

Was written by a mum for her LOs.

Zion by Lauren Hill about her baby.
