[Thank You, Always] Western Songs I Want to Give on Father’s Day (1–10)
Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)Billy Joel
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.

The song Jax released in 2021 is a heartwarming track that explores true love, inspired by the loving relationship between her parents.
The ideal love she seeks is patient, gentle, and grows stronger with time—like the love her father showed her mother.
From small gestures of affection to building a relationship rooted in mutual respect and understanding, and finding joy and humor in everyday life, it thoughtfully portrays a sustainable form of love.
Filled with deep gratitude and admiration, it’s a perfect listen when you want to express your love to someone special.

The song reminds us of the value of those who support us when life isn’t going well.

Fathers Day SongAbochi
Singer Abocchi, known for his gentle vocals, released a song themed around fathers called “Fathers Day Song.” As the title suggests, it’s perfectly suited for Father’s Day.
The lyrics express gratitude to fathers who always work hard for their families and celebrate Father’s Day.
It’s a relaxed, acoustic-style song, and since it’s short, it seems ideal for surprising someone by singing it together or using it as background music for videos.
DadTyler Wood
If you want to express gratitude to your father who has supported you since you were young, I recommend the song “Dad.” It was created in 2018 by Tyler Woods, an American singer-songwriter who is also highly regarded as a producer.
The warm band sound unfolding at a slow tempo is striking, and his tender, heartfelt vocals are soothing as well.
It’s a song overflowing with thanks to a father who has always been there for you.
Why not give it as a gift to convey feelings you don’t normally say?
Daddy’s SonTrey Pendley
Trey Pendley’s song “Daddy’s Son,” by the American country musician, is a moving number themed around the bond between father and child.
As the protagonist grows, he comes to recognize the fighting spirit and protective nature he inherited from his father.
His gratitude for the constant support he’s received and his wish to one day be like his dad leave a strong impression.
Filled with a message that resonates with many, this track is perfect not only as a Father’s Day gift but also for expressing everyday appreciation.
Why not listen to it together with your father?
Song Of My FatherUrban Rescue
A piece enveloped in deep prayer and silence.
It’s a track included on “Wild Heart” by Urban Rescue, a Christian music group from Los Angeles, USA.
The words woven by leader Jordan Frye teach us the importance of sensing God’s presence and listening closely to His voice.
When you look up at the night sky, when you face hardship, you can hear God calling from the depths of your heart.
When you answer that voice, your soul is filled with joy, and you can overcome any trial.
Such a message of deep prayer is embedded in this song.
Why not listen to it quietly? You will surely feel the great presence of the “Father” who watches over you.
