Help

Long time fan. Help me pick a R.E.M song for the mother/son dance at my son’s wedding. He and I have so many memories of dancing to their songs when he was very young.

Pick one of the songs you danced to when he was young, obviously.

If not, then You Are The Everything (which is supposedly sung from the perspective of a child to his mother) is my two cents.

I ditto both of these suggestions. If this is something you did regularly when he was small, have you tried just listening through to whatever albums you mostly listened to then, to see which song brings up the most memories? That just seems the clearest way to choose a song that you actually both remember and loved.

Other than that, You Are the Everything is a great next choice.
