1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Kurumba – Father’s LoveD. Imman
When people think of Indian films, the first images that come to mind are often romance and flashy dance numbers.
Contrary to that preconception, however, a serious sci-fi film that drew attention in some regions was the 2018 release Tik Tik Tik.
Without getting into specific plot details here, I recommend listening to the theme song Kurumba (Father’s Love), especially with the fact in mind that the son of the protagonist played by Jayam Ravi is portrayed by Jayam Ravi’s real-life son.
If possible, why not enjoy the film together as a family as well?
OutfitDrive-By Truckers
A song written by Jason Isbell, guitarist for the alternative Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers based in Athens, Georgia.
It is included on the 2003 album Decoration Day.
The song was inspired by advice he received from his father.

SkippingEddie Vedder
A song included on the album “Every Mother Counts,” which was produced by an organization that provides education and support to reduce maternal mortality worldwide to raise funds for their campaign.

Tears in HeavenEric Clapton
Eric Clapton handled the soundtrack for the 1991 film “RUSH.” Released as its theme song was the classic “Tears in Heaven.” The song was dedicated to his son, who died at the age of four and a half; creating it is said to have helped Clapton overcome his grief and return to making music.
It’s a Father’s Day–perfect ballad that conveys the deep love of a father.
