15-Songs-About-Fathers-to-Celebrate-his-Day-photo8

8. Independence Day • The River (1980) • Bruce Springsteen
Independence Day is the familiar tale of father and son clashing. As the son grows up and  becomes his own man, he realizes it’s time to leave home. Best Line: I guess that we were just too much of the same kind.

9. Beautiful Boy • Double Fantasy (1980) • John Lennon
John Lennon’s lullaby to his son, Sean, is all the more poignant because it appeared on his last album. Best Line: Life is just what happens to you While you’re busy making other plans.
