Father's Day
A Father's Day song he won't put in a drawer
In the US and the UK, Father's Day comes on the third Sunday of June, usually with a barbecue he insists on running himself. And with it come the usual presents: the tie he'll never wear, the aftershave he already owns three bottles of, the mug that says «World's Best Dad». He says thank you anyway, because that's who he is. This year you can genuinely surprise him, with a song written for him and his day.
Dads often aren't great with words, neither saying them nor hearing them. A song helps: it says what would get stuck in your throat at the table, and it says it in tune. Tell us what he taught you, his obsessions, the lines he has repeated forever. Pick garage rock, soul or acoustic, read the lyrics, listen to the free preview and play it once the grill is off.

What to tell us about your dad
- His dad sayings: «Turn that light off, I'm not paying for it», «Go ask your mother».
- Something he taught you without saying a word: riding a bike, changing a tire, losing gracefully.
- How you celebrate: the barbecue, the fishing trip, the video call if you live far apart.
- If he's a new dad: his first Father's Day with a baby in his arms deserves a verse of its own.
