what songs make you think of your babies/children

[robinredbreast]

mine
sweet little baby girl
my little girl -tim mcgraw
someone exactley like you -van morrison
chasing cars- snow patrol

scottish mummy- Mine is also cant get you out of my head, not sure if for same reason. Ds1 was under light treatent for jaundice and had an orange plastic thing around his head to protect his eyes. Everytime some one visited us they said how he looked like he should be in the kylie video

that tune from countdown..da da da, da da da , diddy diddy, duddy de dum pyooo...

i fell asleep to it most days when on mat leave and we both did once dd arrived ....am just so uncool!

Chasing cars - Snow Patrol for me too (many an hour was spend trying to rock DS to sleep to it).

And Scissor Sisters - I don't feel like dancing (danced to it when I was in labour and with DS now!)

Perfect Day, Lou Reed

oh, and You're Pretty Good Looking, white stripes

sittin on the dock - otis
black velvet - alanah
easy like sunday mornin' - faith no more

my guy because ds3 is called ....guess what?we always sing along.

Pollywolly, mine should be the theme tune to Deal or No Deal. Both consultant and proud father were watching it as baby arrived...

"The first time ever I saw your face' by Roberta flack.

i wonder now, how I never thought before that it was about a mother seeing her child for the first time

blub!

Oh and "I'm sticking with you" has been one of Ds's favourite songs ever.

also "insominia" by Faithless

vulgar i never realised that and now i'm sitting here with goosebumps...

I'll be there - Jackson 5, overjoyed stevie Wonder, neon lights kraftwerk, whole gorillaz album - strange mix but used to soothe very fractious newborn, could not listen to now without blubbing don't think!

RobinRB - that Tim McGraw song just made me cry! Do you know which album it's on as would love to get it for dp for Christmas.

pollywollybauble-I get goosebumps too. It's such a beautiful song.

Couple of Kooks - David Bowie Played this when I had baby blues when dd was a few days old and cried all day, played it again when ds was born last year and cried all day too. In fact if I put it on now i will probably cry again

Whoops forgot to say I played this, my last post makes it sound like I had a private audience with David Bowie!

Kooks was written for his son wasn't it Lucy5?

Lucy5 - Ialways thought that Kooks was a lovely song to listen to while PG or caring for a newborn. But have never actually owned a copy of it. And Athlete's Wires used to make me blubber because it was out when DS was a newborn (he was fine but once I worked out that the song was about a struggling premie I just used to howl every time I heard it - total new mother emotional wuss).

aerosmith' dont wanna miss a thing'

' i could stay awake just to hear you breathing, watch you smile while you are sleeping, while your far away and dreaming,' makes me cry though! xx

Yes it was. It's funny how a song can get to you, isn't it?

skye boat song - it's my nighttime song when pacing/cuddling with screaming/unwell child.

hi-ho hi-ho its off to work we go - it's our tidy up time song (and I think I still cant believe they fall for it!)

Jack Johnson, In between Dreams- listened to the album so many times during 9th month of pg, then over and over once dd was born.
She loves that album, and always calms instantly I put it on.
Dh likes 'If I could' most....

"A brand new baby was born yesterday,
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said, your tears are like mine"

Another vote for Aerosmith here, it gives me a lump in my throat every time! Also Coldplay "The Scientist" was out when DS was newborn, and the lines "Nobody said it was easy, no-one ever said it would be this hard" really resonated with me!

When DS was born we were listening to Dusty Springfield "I'm Coming Home Again" so that's also one of his songs, and now he's 5 he really loves it!

That Christmas carol, Joy to the World. Don't know why - it made me well up every time I heard it during dd1's first Christmas.

I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack always made me cry when I was pregnant. I daren't listen to it now.
