Thank You for the Venom

A bright punk rock song that blows away a pensive mood can be really great.

Since this track captures My Chemical Romance at their peak, many people might find it nostalgic.

They’re a rock band from New Jersey, USA, and it’s said the band name was coined by bassist Mikey Way.

It reportedly comes from Irvine Welsh’s cult novel “Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance.”

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “Thank You”

The phrase “thank you,” which is also the title of the song, is surprisingly hard to say to our mothers and family members we’re with every day.

How about using this song on Mother’s Day to express your gratitude—the “thank you” you don’t usually say?

Everclear – Father Of Mine (Official Music Video)

Everclear is a rock band from Oregon, known as a leading act in alternative rock and post-grunge.

Their raw, realistic lyrics leave a strong impression, and their powerful messages are loved by rock enthusiasts around the world.

Among their songs, the one I’d recommend for Father’s Day is “Father of Mine.” It portrays a child raised in a single-father household, expressing the resolve: “I’m not going to be like my dad—I’ll build a happy, harmonious family of my own.”

Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)Billy Joel84rank/position

Billy Joel – Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) (Official Video)

A love song “from a father to his daughter” by Billy Joel, the world-renowned singer-songwriter born in New York, USA.

Released in 1993, it’s included on River of Dreams, which was Billy’s only original album of the ’90s, and is a masterpiece built around a beautiful piano accompaniment.

As the Japanese title “Nemuritsuku Kimi e” (“Lullabye [Goodnight, My Angel]”) suggests, it is a lullaby whose lyrics and melody, written from a father’s tender, loving perspective toward his beloved daughter, offer a cleansing, moving experience.

Father–daughter time may not come often, but on the special occasion of Father’s Day, listening to this song together might help you put your feelings of gratitude into words.
