Check out 8 perfect songs to dedicate to big daddy this Father's Day:
1. Daddy’s Hands – Holly Dunn
A nostalgia for many, “Daddy’s Hands”, a classic by American country singer Holly Dunn, is a song that mainly portrays the burdens carried by a family man.
Throughout the lyrics, we see several passages such as “reachin’ out to hold me, when I had a nightmare” (“reaching out to hug me, when I had a nightmare”), “I’ll always remember the love in daddy’s hands.” remember the love in daddy’s hands”), which praise paternal love, and others like “I remember daddy’s hands workin’; ‘til they bled, Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed” (“I remember daddy's hands working until they bled, Sacrificing selflessly just to keep us all fed”), recognizing the sacrifice of parents to keep the family .
Still, the song also mentions that, even when our parents' hands were not necessarily gentle, in every attitude, there was love. An important and profound reflection for all listeners.
2. Superman (It’s not easy) (Superman – No é Fácil) – Five for Fighting
Here, we have a song that does not explicitly portray the father-son relationship, but it is still a great choice for Father's Day, as it portrays the difficult battles of a superhero, who, for For many, their greatest representation in real life is their own father figure.
The 4th verse of the song tells us: “Even heroes have the right to bleed” (“Even heroes have the right to bleed”) and “Even heroes have the right to dream” (“Even heroes have the right to dream ”). These verses, which simplify the song's theme, suggest that our parents, our greatest superheroes, do not need to maintain their position as saviors at all times, but rather that they also have the right to feel fragile. p>
So, if you want to send the message that you will take care of your father no matter what comes this Father's Day, this song is the perfect one.
3. I Hope You Dance – Lee Ann Womack
“I Hope You Dance”, which has its lyrics based on good wishes, can also be a great option for Father's Day this year, as it portrays the hope of the lyrical self (the “narrator” of the song) that the one to whom music is dedicated should not be discouraged by difficulties and do not let the love and dedication to his loved ones leave him empty-handed.
“And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance… I hope you dance.”
“And when you have the choice to sit or dance
I hope you dance… I hope you dance.”
Although it does not refer to a father figure, this song can represent all the good intentions and desires we have towards our parents, and our hope that they never stop enjoying the best side of life. Wouldn't it make a beautiful tribute?
4. Father – Fábio Jr
This couldn't be left off our list! The greatest Brazilian Father's Day anthem, “Father”, by Fábio Jr., composed by the singer, portrays, more than the love of a son for his father, a request for reconciliation.
The lyrical self, in the song, did not have a good relationship with his father, however, in an insecure way, he asks the two to resume their bond of love, throughout very beautiful lyrics:
“Dad
I grew up and there was no other way
I just want to lean against your chest
To ask you to come home
And play grandpa with my son
On the carpet from the living room”
