Favorite Mama Song

[2happymamas]

I love the song A Woman's Work by Kate Bush. It makes me want to cry everytime I hear it and I cannot help but to think of mothers. Does anyone else like this one?

What songs do you hear that make you think about parenting? Oh yeah, I also like Somewhere over the Rainbow by Iz.

[PiePie]

several songs by Sweet Honey in the Rock.

[zaftigmama]

Forever Young by Rod Stewart

[Autumn Breeze]

Somewhere over the Rainbow (and What a Wonderful World) by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'

Always reminds me of Mark Green and ER though, seeing him with his daughters in my head.

And the Dixie Chicks are my all time favorite band so, lots of thoes:

Wide Open Spaces
With Out You
God Speed (Sweet Dreams) : every time, makes me think of my son. :
Lullabye (which is like my dd's song since I first heard it on her first birthday)

[Flor]

Zion by Lauren Hill

[EmPaige]

i love "a woman's work" also and "apron strings" also from the she's having a baby soundtrack...

[ColoradoMama]

Hands down - "In My Daughter's Eyes"

[Learnintolaugh]

Somebody's Hero, by Jamie O'Neal. I get tears every time.

[Finch]

I can't listen to some of the songs listed here because they have been played at someone's memorial service and as a tribute to a child that has passed. It just absolutely kills me to hear them.

[Guava~Lush]

Zion by Lauren Hill

Yes, exactly that. When I was preggers and not married, I listened to that song all the time! I was so hormonal, *sniff*.

[EmPaige]

also smile by laurie berkner -probably because i have a littl eboy and a little girl

[UnschoolnMa]

There are several for me but this is off the top of my head:

Mama by Boyz II Men

Forever Young by Rod Stewart

I Hope You Dance by Leanne Womack

My Wish by Rascall Flats

Don't Forget to Remember Me by Carrie Underwood

When You Come Back Down by Nickel Creek

Here's a link to the video for 'This Woman's Work'. Very powerful. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vln-_DrYvR0

I can't find a link to one with film clips from 'She's Having a Baby'. Anyone got one?

[elizaveta]

I love this woman's work! I didn't know it was in a movie until after I delivered my dd and happened to be stuck sitting around nursing alot of my spare time and saw part of the movie! And it's funny because when I was in labour that song was stuck in my head!

[Momtwice]

Wonder by Natalie Merchant

[aprons_and_acorns]

Lots of good songs here!! I think I need to make a mama mix cd.

One of my favorite songs about being a parent is Lord Protect My Child by Bob Dylan.

What a wonderful song! Susan Tedeschi does a beautiful cover of it!

Has anyone heard "'Fore She Was Mama" - it's a new country song and very cute! Makes me think of my mama (and myself a bit )

Here's a link to lyrics: http://jennyhaha.blogspot.com/2006/1...-was-mama.html

There is this great free search for MP3s on Blogs...

I hadn't heard lots of these and were able to find some of them online and listen to them for free!

Just thought I would share.

'Precious' by Annie Lennox. I never felt much about that song oringally. Now I have a daughter and I start to cry everytime I hear it knowing I am in the joy of motherhood.

I have to chime in the song 'No Matter What' from Broadway's 'Beauty & The Beast. It describes my relationship with my Dad to a "T".

YES! I can't believe I forgot to mention that one! I used to sing it to dd all the time when she was a baby. I still sing it to all of them from time to time.
