Any ideas?
 

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a powerpoint movie and I need some good sisterhood songs.......things that tug on the heartstrings and capture some of the bond, but not all sappy sappy tear jerker........any ideas?

"I will be here"-Steven Curtis Chapman

2 of our girls performed it at pref and it was wonderful!

Okay, this will be vague, but maybe someone will chime in with the title and artist...it was in some movie I saw recently (yes, I know that helps :p ) and the lyrics were "Feels like home to me...feels like home to me..."

I thought it was a beautiful song and would be great for recruitment!

That "feels like home to me" I think was used in a Dawson's Creek Episode. Go to www.dawsonscreekmusic.com to check it out.

Follow me by John Denver. Our chapter song. A tear-jerker! Let me know if you need the lyrics

that song by the Lighthouse Family..."High"

It's very moving, I think!
Also, that song by Simon and Garfunkel (I think it's called "Passages")

I think "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart makes a good slide show song. I played it in the senior slide show at my high school yearbook party right before graduation and even the guys were in tears.

"These are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs is always a good one.

"You Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me" from Aladdin! :)

"You've Got a Friend" James Taylor

"Lean on Me" or "Stand By Me"

"Feels like home" by Chantal Kreviazuk is good as someone mentioned above.

Another good song that is also from Dawson's Creek and has lyrics similar to "feels like home" is "Never Saw Blue Like That" by Shawn Colvin. I think Kappa uses it a lot because of the blue references.


Never Saw Blue Like That
Performed by Shawn Colvin
Written by Tom Kimmel, Jeff Franzel, Mark Luna


Today I took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill
Above the lake

And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away

And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say

And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

I can't believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen or heard you're name
And even now, I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain

And somethings are the way they are
And words just can't explain

Cause I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before

And it feels like now,
And it feels always,
And it feels like coming home

I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before

Our chapter song is "Now and Forever" by Carol King from "A League of Their Own"

Now and forever you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn’t we find the ecstasy
Didn’t we share the daylight
When you walked into my life

Now and forever I’ll remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken

We had a moment
Just one moment
That will last beyond the dream
Beyond the lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do
Oh we got to do
Now and forever I will always think of you

Didn’t we come together
Didn’t we live together
Didn’t we cry together
Didn’t we play together
Didn’t we love together
And together we lit up our world

I miss the tears
I miss the laughter
I miss the day we met
And all that followed after
Sometimes I wish I could always be with you
The way we used to do
(oh)
Now and forever I will always think of you
Now and forever I will always be with you
(oh)

Special song
 

This is my favorite song for things like this. A senior sang it at my first pref on the DG side and I just love it!

P.S. CDC Jenny encouraged the chapter I'm advising now (Beta Delta) to add Now and Forever to their pref ceremony last year and it was an awesome addition!

In My Life
The Beatles

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All this places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

Carole King - "You've Got A Friend"

not a DG but...
 

Pardon the forum crash, but Michelle Branch's song "You Set Me Free" always reminds me of my sisters. It was played during a sisterhood event that my new member class had and I've loved it ever since. It's a more upbeat song, in case you haven't heard it.

Michelle Branch
"You Set Me Free"

Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless

No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny

'Cause I wanted to fly,
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free

There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless

You're in my heart
The only light that shines
There in the dark

'Cause I wanted to fly,
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free

When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you

'Cause I wanted to fly,
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free

Do you know "Out of my Window?"
