Awesome Father’s Day Rock Songs – John Lennon – Beautiful Boy

Author Mike Anthony

For this Father’s Day, maybe you can listen to a song with Dad? It’s a cool bonding experience.  So, let’s take a look At Awesome Father’s Day Rock Songs – John Lennon – Beautiful Boy

Father’s Day is almost here and regardless of whether you were planning on getting Dad a gift, you should at least give him a call.  You never know how long he’ll be around, so chat with him for a few minutes.  He might make you both feel good.

That said, we’re taking a look at some songs that are fitting for the holiday.  Today we focus on a classic by John Lennon, Beautiful Boy.  Sure, having your dad be John Lennon is pretty cool in and of itself, but hearing these lyrics is really what it’s all about.  It’s a beautiful portrait he paints with his words.  This is everything a father should want and do for his son.  Protect him, love him, be there to calm him down.

It doesn’t hurt of course that this is a great track that is super catchy.  And yeah, written by one of the best lyricists ever.  It’s special.  And you can’t help but think of your child when you hear it if you’re a Dad.  And kids can’t help but long for that kind of love from their own parents.

John Lennon was a true legend, and his songwriting is sorely missed.  It’s a shame that he was taken too soon.  But at least we have songs like this to go back to.

Not all of us have the best relationship with our own Dad, or maybe he left this world already. Regardless, you can’t help but listen to this one and feel that all-consuming love.  It’s something we all want and need and it’s beautiful to hear it in this song!

Mike is all about having fun each afternoon. He brings you concert tickets, some fun trivia, and of course the best bands. Other interests outside of being at WDHA are drums, movies, and my family. Also, like most radio personalities, he loves live music. There's nothing like a live show to hype him up! His all-time favorite band is Metallica. But according to him, the list of others is pretty lengthy.

Top 5 Five Great Rock Songs with Cities or States In The Title

Cities or States In The Title Of Five Great Rock Songs.  That’s what we’re going to take a look at today.  There are probably more songs than you would think.  It was a recent question of the day and I got so many responses where I was like “Oh yeah….I forgot about that one!”  LOL

At 4 pm weekdays, I post a question of the day to the DHA Facebook page.  I let that sit for a bit as the answers come in and then at 5 pm, I choose some of the answers to put together a block of music for the drive home.  Yesterday I asked listeners to name songs with Cities of States in the title.

As I mentioned, there were some surprises from songs I didn’t think of or ones that I forgot about.  Some listeners had lists put together and I was just happy that I didn’t have to answer my own question because I drew a blank!

Artists love having the focus of a city or State in the title because it draws more of a connection to the listener of the music.  Maybe the artist is from that place, played it live, or just likes it there, it gives another bond besides the actual music itself!  Listeners like to hear the place they live in get a shout-out because it makes them feel kind of cool.

Think how exciting it is to be at a Bruce show and have him mention Jersey or an area in one of his songs and then you think to yourself how cool it is that one of our own made it to the big time!  It’s an exciting feeling and one that is undeniable.  Even hearing about other states and cities is cool because you sort of feel connected to the lyrics.  That’s the powerful thing about lyrics and music in general.

Let’s take a look at some Cities or States In The title of five great rock songs.

  • JERSEY GIRL - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

    All bout a woman in Jersey sung by one of our own! It’s great to hear. And especially great to listen to the crowd go crazy! To the Jersey Side!!!!

  • MISSISSIPPI QUEEN - MOUNTAIN

    That riff is so iconic and down and dirty.  It just feels so good.  When the vocals come in, you know you’re in for a treat!  Short and sweet – such a classic!

  • NEW YORK GROOVE - ACE FREHLEY

    This is a legendary tune from a legendary musician.  Space Ace makes you feel like you’re from NY whether you are or not!  It’s one that you need to sing along with!

  • CALIFORNIA GIRLS - DAVID LEE ROTH

    It’s a wonderful cover from Dave.  It’s full of cheese yet swagger and sounds reinvigorated.  Always a lot of fun.  Plus, it gets you in a summer kind of mood!

     

  • DETROIT ROCK CITY - KISS

    It’s one of their classics.  A real rocker from an amazing album!  Lots of fun to listen to and shows what the band can do.
