Music: Best songs about the singer's relationship with their parents

[MVP of West Hollywd]

It can either be appreciative song or fk you dad type of song. It doesn't have to be autobiographical, but no songs from the parents pov about their kids.

....sorry, wasn't about Eddie's parents, but of a child, my mistake.

I think it's close enough, with "don't call me daughter" being from kid perspective.

Dishonorable mention to Ed Sheeran who has two dead mom songs (Supermarket Flowers and Visiting Hours) despite his being alive.

I’m pretty sure Supermarket Flowers was written about his grandmother, and Visiting Hours was apparently inspired by the death of his friend, Michael Gudinski.
