I need a Birthday song.

[Lea]

Not the normal kinda thing tho. Not the one by The Beatles or anything like that. Just a nice song you might dedicate to someone that might make them feel happy and thought of.

I want to put it on my other kids FB she turns 25 today. We have a very close mother daughter relationship. She likes most kinds of music and loves the Cd's I make her so if you have a good idea of the kind of music I like it will give you a pretty good idea of acceptable genre's.

I'm thinking of something about growth, life, changes, future etc. It shouldn't be that hard but my mind is cluttered with other things right now and I just can't come up with anything.

I thought of The Circle Game by Mitchell but that one just doesn't feel quite right even tho I know she'd like it. Any suggestions you guys could make would be awesome

[Farin]

I noticed that the first songs I keep thinking of were either melancholic or downright depressing

how about My Rollercoaster by Kimya Dawson?

I have no idea what music you like. I also have a very short attention span and reading comprehension, and, thus, only read the title of this thread

"This Is The Day" - The The

Well... you didn't wake up this morning

Because you didn't go to bed

You were watching the whites of your eyes

Turn red

The calendar, on your wall, is ticking the days off

The calendar on your wall is ticking

the days off

You've been reading some old letters

You smile and think how much you've changed

All the money in the world

Couldn't bring back those days.

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,

You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.

THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.

THIS IS THE DAY -- Your life will surely change.

You could've done anything -- if you'd wanted

And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.

But the side of you they'll never see

Is when you're left alone with the memories

That hold your life together like

Glue

"Days Like This" - Van Morrison

When it's not always raining

there'll be days like this

When there's noone complaining

there'll be days like this

Everything falls into phase

like the flick of a switch

Well my momma told me

there'll be days like this

When you don't need to worry

there'll be days like this

When noone's in a hurry

there'll be days like this

When you don't get betrayed

by that old Judas kiss

Oh my momma told me

there'll be days like this

When you don't need an answer

there'll be days like this

When you don't meet a chancer

there'll be days like this

When all the parts of the puzzle

start to look like they fit

Then I must remember

there'll be days like this

When everyone is upfront

and they're not playing tricks

When you don't have no freeloaders

out to get their kicks in

When it's nobody's business

the way that you wanna live

I just have to remember

there'll be days like this

When noone steps on my dreams

there'll be days like this

When people understand what I mean

there'll be days like this

When you bring out the changes

of how everything is

Well my momma told me

there'll be days like this

Oh my momma told me

there'll be days like this

Well my momma told me

there'll be days like this

Oh my momma told me

there'll be days like this

Oh my momma told me

there'll be days like this

"These Are Days" - 10,000 Maniacs

These are the days

These are days you'll remember

Never before and never since, I promise

Will the whole world be warm as this

And as you feel it,

You'll know it's true

That you are blessed and lucky

It's true that you

Are touched by something

That will grow and bloom in you

These are days that you'll remember

When May is rushing over you

With desire to be part of the miracles

You see in every hour

You'll know it's true

That you are blessed and lucky

It's true that you are touched

By something that will grow and bloom in you

These are days

These are the days you might fill

With laughter until you break

These days you might feel

A shaft of light

Make its way across your face

And when you do

Then you'll know how it was meant to be

See the signs and know their meaning

It's true

Then you'll know how it was meant to be

Hear the signs and know they're speaking

To you, to you

In My Life ~ Beatles...One of my favorites...

[skybluesky]

I Hope You Dance is good, or a little more upbeat is This One's For the Girls by Martina McBride.

[Viaene]

If I could remember title and/or artist I would post here an alternate birthday song (at least in my country it's fairly unknown).

Maybe somebody else remembers:

A dark male jazz voice (kinda like Louis Armstrong) sings Happy Birthsday, a very cool jazz version
