If you are searching for a song that reflects the strong connection between a mother and her son, you are in the right place. Below you will find the top mother son wedding songs which are proper to play at a wedding reception.
The first song that made it to our top it’s called “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and it’s performed by Simon and Garfunkel. This song it’s a classic and a Grammy award winner. It was released back in 1970, and although we find ourselves 41 years later, this song managed to remain one of our favorites. This song will also make a success the dance between a father and his daughter. It’s actually a song that marks the relationship between a parent and his child.
Now I’ll take you 12 years later, back in 1982 when Bette Midler released her single called “Wind Beneath My Wings”. This is a romantic song which became customary at wedding receptions. This happened because of the strong lyrics that reflect the power of love, especially the parental love. 1960 was also a big year for the single “Stand by Me”. The first band who rewrote this song was The Staples Singers, and in 1986, Ben E. King used it as a soundtrack for a movie called “Stand by Me”. The song combines a nice rhythm with sentimental lyrics. Another Grammy winner, it’s the song “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion. The artist it’s actually so famous because of this song, mostly because the lyrics are very touching. They talk about unconditional love and they were used as a soundtrack for the movie “Up Close & Personal”, back in 1997.
What The Beatles left behind them may be considered a work of art. The song called “In My Life” reached the top 500 songs of all time, and it’s considered by Paul McCartney as being one of their best songs. Combining grace with love lyrics, this song won’t fail you no matter what type of event you are planning. If you want your song to sound as a tribute to parental love, you should choose the song called “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You”. You will find two versions of this song, one performed by Van Morrison and the other one by Rod Steward. They both are amazing and will make your dance a never-to-be-forgotten one.
In the end of my top mother son wedding songs, I would like to tell you about one more song, called “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”. This song performed by Roberta Flack first appeared in 1973 and received a Grammy award. The lyrics concentrate on the moment when a mother sees her child for the first time. It’s a very emotional song that can be found also in other versions performed by artists like Elvis Presley or Mel Torme.
