I came up with this great idea to make a cd for my mom for Mother’s Day. I had a blast googling songs about mothers and daughters and motherhood in general. Did you know the Spice Girls had a Mom song? It didn’t make the cd cut. Neither did Boyz 2 Men or Tupac. But it was nice to know they all loved their mamas enough to write a song. Here’s my final playlist. Maybe I’ll elaborate about some of them in later posts.
In My Life from the Providence soundtrack (not the Beatles version… Providence was “our” show)
Thanks to You – Tyler Collins (never heard before my Google search but great song)
Kind and Generous by Natalie Merchant (because she is kind and generous)
The Perfect Fan – Backstreet Boys (what can I say, its a sweet song)
Butterfly Fly Away – Miley Cyrus (speaks to me in not only a mom way but also as the daughter)
You’re Gonna Be - Reba McEntire (all about the hopes and dreams a mama has for her baby)
Ride- Martina McBride (because we all should ride)
Somebody’s Hero – Jamie O’Neal (because my mom is my hero of course!)
Slipping Through My Fingers – ABBA (go find my previous post about this one.. sniff sniff)
Baby Don’t You Cry (The Pie Song) from the Waitress soundtrack (perfect lullaby)
Angels – Randy Travis (another I’d never heard before my search)
Thank You Mom – Good Charlotte (always and forever)
In My Daughter’s Eyes – Martina McBride (duh)
Ready Set Don’t Go – Billy Cyrus & Miley Cyrus (another tearjerker – we’re sappy people)
Don’t Forget to Remember Me – Carrie Underwood
Pray for You – Sara Evans (lots of country mama songs out there)
You Can’t Lose Me – Faith Hill
The Best Day – Taylor Swift (makes me all happy, brings back memories, and makes me sad at the same time)
I printed out all the lyrics so she’d have them to look at as she listened to the CD. Took me hours but I know it wasn’t time wasted. She’ll cherish it for a long time to come. Question is, how do I top that next year??
