It's Father's Day Weekend so it's a good time to take some time to share gratitude for fathers who have loved, taught and helped raise their children to be good and kind people. Share songs that are about fathers, children or that you want to send to your father whether he's here or looking down on you.
Weep for the Uvalde parents. They will never again hear the laughter of their children. For the grandparents, uncles, and aunts who will never again receive those precious hugs and kisses from their beloved grandchild, nephew, or niece.
This weekend's music thread is dedicated to the poor victims and their devastated families and friends in Uvalde. Songs about children, parents, family, love and life are the theme this weekend.

Recording their first song in 30 years, Pink Floyd (featuring two of the three surviving members of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour and Nick Mason), plays background behind the Ukrainian singer from the band Boombox, Andriy Khlyvnyuk, and his rendition of a Ukrainian ballad, "Hey Hey Rise Up". The song's profits go to help Ukraine. So this weekend's music thread is for songs dedicated to the incredibly brave and terribly suffering people of Ukraine.
