I mean...it could work. No song is 100% made from someone (as in, someone not related to the songwriter, etc)...
But it does say, "Son" and "Man"... if I were a guest, I would notice that. But if really means a lot to you, who cares?
I don't think it would be weird at all... I doubt most people would notice or mind that it's from a guy, honestly. :)
Ya, I guess the best option would be to have a band instead of DJ so it can be done live and changed ;-) Alas, not in the budget... lol
Personally, I wouldn't think as a guest and this one is as perfect for you as they come for you. It's special to you, so I say use it and don't think twice.
if u like the song then go ahead and use it.. as a guest i probably would realise it.. but in the end its your day and should choose music that moves you
I honestly don;'t think your guests will notice or care. Sure the song is sung by a guy but the sentiment is the same regardless of gender.
Would it make sense for you and your husband to have the father/daughter dance at the same time as a mother/son dance to this song? That would solve the problem, but not if your fiance doesnt have the same feelings for his dad.
Listening to the song, rather than reading it, it really isnt very noticeable, so I would probably just use it anyway and not worry about it :)
What about asking your DJ to cut out the problematic verses (or edit it yourself if you're DIYing your reception music)? Many songs are probably too long anyway. We have to cut out a single verse of our father-daughter song, which is Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. For almost the entire song, it's very g-rated sweet, and totally not clear whether he's singing about a daughter or a love interest, but in the very last verse there's a line about makin' love. Ew, that's gotta go -- but we can't change the song, it means too much to us.
BUT, as a guest I might notice only because I'm a bride-to-be. I doubt most people would.
You could always have the DJ say something when he announces the father daughter dance, making a lighthearted comment or saying just change the words of son to daughter in your heads.
@futurediplomatswife: There's a Radio Edit version of Brown Eyed Girl available that changes the "makin' love in the grass, behind the stadium" line to "runnin and a laughin, behind the staduim..." FYI

Sorry, there are no users yet.
My top fave right now (for a long time) for the father/daughter dance is Keith Urban's "Song for Dad."
Most is great. And it works, he does love my mother, brother, and me. That's our family exactly. I LOVE this song and it tears me up thinking about how much love my dad has for us every time I hear it. The problem? It's obviously from a dude.
(Awkward points in bold.)
Would this be weird for the father/DAUGHTER dance?
Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys
When I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize
The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did
He always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have
The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
He's in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone
And I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright"
Yes it is
The older I get
The more I can see
That he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
Oh I hope I see
I hope everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
A little more of my father in me
I hope everyday I see in me
In me
In me
I hope everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
