I am preparing a video for my mom's 75th birthday. I need some ideas on music to go along with the pictures. Some ideas I already have: the song that starts, "Memories, pressed between the pages of my life". . . I don't know the name of it, and a song that I think is by Paul Anka, I think it has been on a Kodak commercial. These are the types of songs I am looking for, sweet, sentimental, having to do with memories of a person's life. Any ideas anyone has will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I'm not sure of the song you are refering too with the "memories" lyrics,but how about The Way We Were,the Barbara Streisand version being the most well known.

My Granny's B-day is coming up too, and I think I might copy your idea! (cheeky me)

Ummnn...
I think the song
"Those Were The Days", sung by 2,3 singers; male and female (with my fav version being of Shirley Bassey)won't be a bad idea. It is relating to memories and I'm sure your Mom must've liked this song at 'some'point in time.
I too can't seem to recall the memory song you are reffering to...
I hope you get to know it soon as possible!

Here's To The Night by Eve 6. It works for graduations, it might work...

I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan
Also done by Kenny Rogers, ( i like his voice better- on the CD "She Rides Wild Horses")

I'll Be There For You - The Rembrandts

"Lean on Me" (Bill Withers version, circa 1972

They're all good...oh and congratulations to your mom!

Another good song for someone your mother's age is "(We Will Have These ) Moments to Remember." I think that the Four Freshmen version had the biggest hit with this, although I could be wrong. Your mother's age also suggests several Sinatra songs: "It was a Very Good Year" seems to be the most appropriate.

Regarding the song "Those Were the Days, My Friend" - I like the Mary Hopkins version.

So,
DID you compile the video for your Mom afterall???
I'm curious too!

Aah as far as my saying that I might copy your idea_ it never happened!
You can say I was way too lazy!!!

I finished it up by getting her her fav cosmetic products big grin
She was delighted! and so, you can say, there was a happy ending at my end.

TooCurious,
