Parents Day Songs
Cats In The Cradle - Harry Chapin
WOW! This is the first word that should escape your lips when you hear this legendary song by Harry Chapin. The meaning and melody attached to the song makes this masterpiece a very powerful piece of music. 'Cats In The Cradle' draws its inspiration from the misfortune of parents missing out on the younger years of their child. The song speaks of a father who misses out on most of his son's growing years, a sad situation indeed, but then it still helps convey the love that exists between father and son. The Harry Chapin version of this song makes for the original one, but if you are looking for a heavier version of the same song, you might want to give Ugly Kid Joe's take on this song a listen.
The Messenger - Linkin Park
Don't be too surprised! Although Linkin Park borders on the heavier side of music, the band still has a softer side to them and 'The Messenger' is the perfect example of this side. The song is an acoustic number, mostly only dominated by the guitar and the sounds of a piano. This song from the album 'A Thousand Suns' is really the most unexpected track on the record. Chester Bennington sings his heart out. In fact, raw is the best way to describe this song which is a comfort prayer of sorts from a father to his children. As far as the lyrics go, these are the lines that will catch your attention the most - "Remember you're loved, and you always will be, this melody will bring you right back home, when life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind, when life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind". Play this song for your parents and watch them relate to it like no one else can!

'Legend' has it that Ozzy Osbourne, when on tour, used to call his wife up and tell her he's coming home, this, however, is inside story, no one needs to know anything. The song and the lyrics to the same still make for an excellent tribute to mothers all over the word.
