'Dad Song' by Nate Goering: A Serenade to Fathers and the Love They Pass Down


In Nate Goering's 'Dad Song', Nate pays tribute to fathers, from fathers and grandfathers (and/or people that have embraced and loved us like a father would/should) to a Heavenly Father. Nate shares how he struggled to capture the full depth of his feelings for his dad in this song, and I think that is a challenge we all face: how can we express the inexpressible? How do we find the right words to express the love and gratitude we have for those who've shaped us? 

Nate Goering - Dad SongAs you listen to 'Dad Song', you realize that it isn't just about Nate and his dad. It's about us. It's about the tidbits of wisdom that have been passed on to us, the support we've received to reach the milestones in our lives, and the unconditional love that guides us. This song reflects the many ways that love and life lessons flow through us, from the advice on turning a screw to the embrace that says 'you're found.' It's in the corny jokes we can't help but laugh at, the heavy things even strong hands can't fix, and in the realization that, in writing our lives, we honor those who've penned chapters before us. Maybe it's just me, but my thoughts expand the scope to include a Heavenly Father who continues to pen the chapters of my life.

Our lives are filled with 'dad songs,' moments and memories that we can pass along. Nate encourages us to cherish these treasures, to embrace the echoes of love in everyday life, and to remember that every action, every decision, carries a piece of those who have touched our hearts. Through 'Dad Song,' we see that our lives are a homage to their legacy - a song that never really ends.

I hope that this song reminds you of the priceless impact of love, guidance, and legacy that can also be found in your life. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find your own voice in Nate's melody, seeing the ways your life sings a 'dad song' too.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller: A Tender Tribute to a Loyal Friend

Beneath this gentle Americana-style song, "Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller, is the heartbreak of a seven-year-old boy. The day his grandson had to say goodbye to his dog, Tucker, he asked Stephen, "Will you write a song for Tucker? Can we pretend he's still around?" How can you not say "Yes" to such a request?  This song offers comfort by simply being honest. Instead of dramatizing the grief, the message sits with it and invites the listener to reflect as well. It's lines like "Sing the song to Tucker, sing to all dogs gone away" that remind us that precious memories endure. Have you ever asked yourself how to comfort a grieving child? I know that these situations often remind me that we're all searching for hope after more than one loss! On top of that, how can you extend that hope to a grieving child? Even in situations like the loss of a dear four-legged pet, there is a message of faith to be found: "Sing to God, the...
