Awww! Sweet Songs that Musicians Wrote For Their Kids

‘Beautiful Boy’ by John Lennon

Paul McCartney has said that “Beautiful Boy” is his favorite John Lennon song. Which says a lot. Lennon wrote the hit about his son Sean, who was the only child he shared with Yoko Ono. Unlike most of his hits which were more political, he opted for a McCartney type of simplicity.

The single has everything to do with the overwhelming feelings of love a mother or father has for their child. The song’s simplicity is what makes it so charming, with a hook of just “beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.”
