Parent/Child Relationship

Love this tune...

I randomly heard Cat’s in the Cradle (original version) the other day, and it got stuck in my head (as it almost always does, every time). It got me thinking about what other songs exist about the relationship between a parent and child (from either POV).

I came up with 3 good ones right away…

Cat‘s in the Cradle (Harry Chapin)
Parents Just Don’t Understand (Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff)
Just the Two of Us (Will Smith)

The inclusion of two Will Smith songs, each from the opposite POV, still makes me chuckle, 20+ years after the release of his parental POV version.

What other songs are there with this theme? Positive or negative, inspiring or depressing.

The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics is the quintessential Father Son relationship song
