Songs written for a child or children

[lorislp]

Name some songs that are written as a dedication for a child or children

[Ouisch]

Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" was written for his son, Connor.  "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon was for his son, Sean.

"Just the Two of Us" by Will Smith and "Little James" by Oasis. "Hey Jude" was written by Paul for Julian Lennon to console him during John's divorce from his first wife.

[Steph84]

Damn. Garyyokel got there first with Hey Jude.

Also, Blurry by Puddle of Mudd was about the lead singer's son I think, and also Tyler's Song by Coal Chamber was for one of their son's.

dont forget about the song 'ben' by michael jackson......or was that dedicated to an animal???

[CatMcGibney]

Think Ben was about a rat wasn't it?? How about Daniel by Elton John?

Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder  and Clair by GilbertO'Sullivan.

[brachiopod]

Aah, yes, Gilbert O'Sullivan....
"Claire, the moment I met you I swear..."

And didn't we swear the moment we first heard this pile of *!$*<!*.!

dont let the son go down on me...

[rubbergenius]

'Kooks' by David Bowie from the Hurdy Gurdy album - about the birth of his son Zowie.

[brachiopod]

You mean "Hunky Dory"?

[Chessman]

The lead of the group 'The Four Pennies' wrote 'Juliet' after his new born daughter in the late sixties, it became their only big hit. (showing my age now).

[k8tkoo]

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure Wires by Athlete was written by one of them for his baby daughter who was in intensive care or something. Hence the "you've got wires coming out of your skin" etc

[Co-co]

Thin Lizzy`s My Sarah???  Not too sure if was for a child or lover.

[Penny]

k8tkoo - you're not wrong...it was written about his premature baby. a lot of people think it's about someone that tried to commit suicide until they hear the line 'first night of your life, curled up on your own'

i love that song :)
