Looking for advice for a song for my FI and his mom to dance to. We've been struggling because the suggestions that come up when you search for this kind of thing tend to have really personal and emotional lyrics about how much they mean to each other and how the mom's always been there and always will be there for the son and whatnot.
My FI and his mom don't hate each other or anything, they get along, but they're not particularly close. His parents divorced when he was 10 and his dad had primary custody. He didn't like his then-stepdad so he almost never saw his mom as a teenager. Since graduating high school a decade ago, he probably sees his mom a dozen times a year at most, and most of those are family holidays. They just never had much of a relationship; his dad was always the one who was there when he needed something. To this day he's 100x more similar in personality to his dad than his mom. He still wants to have a dance with her - it's his mom and he loves her - but he just thinks it would be kind of wrong or "fake" to have a sappy emotional typical mother/son song when they didn't have that kind of a relationship.
So I guess my question is, has anyone been in this situation or does anyone just know of a mother/son dance song that would fit their relationship? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!!
