In addition, each song has some sort of lesson or moral in regards to being a father. The ten songs on this list were chosen to represent different aspects of fatherhood. In addition, Country music speaks to the uglier parts of fatherhood like divorce and absenteeism, and the love as well as the fear that comes with raising a child. Country music has a lot to say about dads and how they teach their kids. Speaking from my own experience my dad taught me things that my mom never could have. However, not everybody is as lucky as me because increasingly kids are raised by single mothers, in 2010 about 24% of kids grew up without a father. One of the people who I look up to most is my dad and if I can become half the man he is then I know that I will make it in this world.

They both need and want to work and continuing “growing up” themselves while offering support and encouragement to their kids. Macklemore may be a rapper and traveling the world, but most parents face a similar dilemma. He captures a father’s need both to be at home with his kid and the need to be out in the world gaining experience. I would try to shield your innocence from timeīut the part of life I gave you isn’t mine Celine Dion, perennial puller of heartstrings and singer of “My Heart Will Go On” (which encompasses the romantic fantasies of every preteen girl in the 90’s), can do it like no one else. No sappy song list is complete without this diva. Zac Brown sings this sentiment perfectly. There are very few relationships as powerful and long lasting as a father’s love for his little girl.

It’s every parent’s wish to see their kids succeed, to reach their individual dreams and feel fulfillment. The truth is, as humans of any age, we’re both. It’s a beautiful, painful circle of life type song that makes us ache for both the parent and the child. We dare you to listen to this one and not cry. I’ve never really done this, now I know what scared is” You’re both so in love and so afraid that molding a human being is beyond your capabilities. There’s no fear like going one day from believing you have all the tools to get by to the next when, holding an innocent baby, you realize the world is a little scary. This is all beautifully captured by the words, “I get to be the one.” They won’t remember their very first steps, but we will. They won’t remember the ways they changed our families and our lives when they came into the world, but we will. I pointed to the sky and now you wanna flyĮvery parent knows it’s not the kids who are lucky. It’s something every parent both yearns for and dreads, their child being healthy enough and brave enough to go it alone. This song sums up how a baby goes from crying at night to pulling their chubby hands away in a bid to do it on their own.
The choreography and the story about the little girl finding out she was adopted hit us right in the feels. We first saw this song on America’s SYTYCD. Ellie Goulding’s “How Long Will I Love You”
I just can’t with the mixture of Taylor’s sweet, pre-Reputation voice and the chorus, which is every good parenting feeling.ĩ. If you’re needing that extra boost from a sweet song about your baby growing up and branching out any of the following will do.
