Alternative/Rock/Met al Songs Written For/About Babies

GemmieWho

I'm due my first baby (a little girl ) 20th December, and for my husbands up coming birthday I'm trying to make a mix CD of various songs written about or for babies.

I know there's lots of songs out there, but I'm looking specifically for songs that are rock/metal/alternative.

So far I have:
With Arms Wide Open by Creed
Miracle by Shinedown
Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses
Come Alive by Foo Fighters
Magnolia by Hoobastank
Harlow's Song by Good Charlotte

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Good list so far :-)
I know this is slightly off-topic, but can I recommend the lullaby versions of Metallica songs?

For your babies - Simply Red.

You're welcome!

To be honest, if it was me, I'd make his birthday about him in his own right and save the CD for when he actually becomes a father. He's probably had a lot of baby stuff lately and I doubt he'll have much attention as a man (rather than a father) in the next few months. It might be nice to celebrate without the baby stuff. Just a thought though.

It's his birthday.... get him something he wants, for him alone.

This sounds like your hormones are making you all sentimental - there'll be more than enough emotion when bubs comes along.

Let him have his birthday for him alone.

what you want is a song that will give him an idea of life when becoming a father , whilst at the same time suggesting at a possible name for the child , with that in mind ... the beastie boys , no sleep til brooklyn

It's HIS birthday not his 'hey, you're going to be a dad' day...

Wouldn't he prefer a bottle of whiskey, xbox game, trainers or whatever blokes fancy?

The CD is a nice idea as a gift when the baby is born BUT not for his birthday which should be just about him.
