The new Pearl Jam song "Something Special" is about being a parent. It strikes a chord with me especially with kids the same age Eddie has.

We got "Cats in the Cradle" which always strikes a chord with me.

What other songs are there about being a parent?

Not a song about being a parent. Everyone associates it with George Strait's daughter, but the guy who wrote it didn't even know who George was at the time.

Well that's how it's associated so does it really matter?
