Awesome Father’s Day Rock Songs – Eric Clapton – My Father’s Eyes

Author Mike Anthony

This Father’s Day, take some time to be with Dad or at least listen to some music with him! Let’s take a look at Awesome Father’s Day Rock Songs – Eric Clapton – My Father’s Eyes

I love the fact that Clapton never shied away from fusing sounds from different genres into his music. He has always been masterful at adding different styles and mixing it all to be rock. This song may not be that hard rockin’ or anything like that, but it’s got some tasty guitar lyrics and fascinating lyrics from Clapton. 

I think this song is especially emotional for those who have lost a Father or whose Dad is getting much older.  No matter how big we get, we all yearn to look in our Father’s Eyes and feel love and comfort and just an amount of ease in our minds. 

The song is so well done and has a laid-back groove, but it hits so well.  It’s also interesting to note that these lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways.  One of which is that Father could be a Higher Power or anyone we look up to for peace and comfort. It’s cool when you think about it.

Clapton is a true legend.  He’s been part of so many projects and his solo material is epic as well.  What a musician! 

As I mentioned, this song hits home if you lost your Dad or he’s aging or even ill.  And if that’s the case I wish you peace on this Father’s Day.  Think of him fondly and the great memories you have.  And if he’s still around be sure to talk or sit with him even just for a few minutes.  It’s worth it.  And enjoy to all you Dads!

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.

5 More Rock Mashups You Need To Hear

I’ve talked about some interesting music you need to listen to before.  But it’s time for 5 More Rock Mashups you need to hear.  This comes fresh off the official release of a brand-new one.

Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett just released an official mash-up to hype up their summer tour. “Hate Myself for Loving You Oughta Know” was produced by DJ Cummerbund and it combines Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You” with Morissette’s “You Oughta Know,” plus for good measure, a tad bit of “I Love Rock ‘n Roll.” It’s pretty cool and had me thinking, there are so many great ones out there, that we should take a look at more.

I’ve always been intrigued by mashups.  I’m not exactly sure why, but maybe because it’s taking multiple awesome songs and putting them together for something really fun.  Or maybe it’s because I don’t know how it’s done LOL.  I know music, I play drums…..but I can’t figure out how you can tell what songs would mix together well.

It’s almost like these folks that make these know exactly what they’re doing and they hear a song before they get started and think to themselves, “Oh, that might fit together with X, Y, or Z.”

Again, I really don’t know how it’s done, but when it comes together well….it makes you chuckle and possibly even rock out.  I’m usually amazed by it and love hearing new ones.  So I figured I’d show you some cool ones that you may not have seen or heard before.

These have me thinking, maybe I’ll try to make one someday soon.  But I need to ask somebody how the hell this works hahaha.  Until I get my own worked out, here are 5 more rock mashups you need to hear!

  • Alanis Morissette And Joan Jett

    This is the one that just came out that promotes the tour. It sounds really well done. Professional level, and it works really well! https://youtu.be/0P3shkZvO3o?si=aPjUrkKSKS-uPCZF

  • Mastadon and Justin Timberlake

    Like Mastadon’s heaviness, but want some funky dance vocals layered over it?  Oh well you’re in luck, because that’s what you get here.  JT never sounded so good! https://youtu.be/wrkYwLbPg8M?si=NhXDIlwuEHAvE5pU

  • Slipknot and Spice Girls

    Can this be real?  Am I having a fever dream?  No, it’s real.  And it creeps me out how well it works.  Slipknot over the hypnotic 90’s anthem from the British pop group!

  • Avenged Sevenfold and Katy Perry

    It’s a summertime pop jam from Katy Perry with vocals from M. Shadows!  Worlds collide with pop and metal meeting.  It works and it’s trippy! https://youtu.be/zgO7i40-Ce8?si=3t6OuwwZm9_JfKQb

  • Korn and The Lion King

    This one is very odd.  Almost too strange.  But kind of cool how they got Jonathan Davis’ vocals to fit over the music.  Worth a listen if not anything else. https://youtu.be/KzA0rJ_hVXc?si=GGYzw4N9Ydx6c_h3
