I told you, I come up with the weirdest ideas sometimes. This time, the theme is family members as in father, mother, sister, brother, etc. I started out with quite a few songs and to make the list shorter, I had to cut out a few really good ones because I decided not to include songs I've posted in the past or more than one per artist, but these that are left are still all awesome. In my opinion, of course. Also, I seem to have an abundance of daughter, mother, and brother songs but not much else. Hmm... Anyway, sixteen lovely songs are waiting for you below this cut!

  • Britta Persson - A Dad for You
It's so sad you never got to know your dad. He must have been a great man 'cause he gave the world you.

  • The Cardigans - Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)
The song you sing today wasn't always in your head. The words you're trying to say are the ones you shouldn't have said.

  • Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter
Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?

  • Death Cab for Cutie - Brothers on a Hotel Bed
I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men 'cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides like brothers on a hotel bed.

  • The Eames Era - Little Brother
Don't beg me not to stay 'cause I was going to leave anyway.

  • The Elected - C'mon Mom
You're a fucking liar and I'm leaving and you can keep all the friends that you made through me. I'm lying too - I can't leave home alone. I'd rather cut all these losses and not take another bet for a bright new fucking day.

  • Elliott Smith - Christian Brothers
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear.

  • Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton - Detective Daughter
There are so many skirts under the table. None of these long legs are mine. She calls around, finds me crying. Wish I were capable of lying sometimes.

  • Feist - It's Cool to Love Your Family
In the Copenhague, a city morgue, the dead sleep in metal slips, called and last, and someone loved them once and someone loves them still and someone misses them and someone always will.

  • Kate Bush - Mother Stands for Comfort
It breaks the cage and fear escapes and takes possession just like a crowd rioting inside: make me do this, make me do that, make me do this, make me do that. Am I the cat that takes the bird? To her the hunted, not the hunter.

  • Kristin Hersh - Uncle June and Aunt Kiyoti
Hit the road and shine a light. I think we're going to find the path tonight. Shooting star and the moon is bad; it's the best damn omen that we ever had.

  • Over the Rhine - Everyman's Daughter
Look inside for the elusive goldmine. Broken glass and a little cheap wine is all that I can find and bundles of contradictions, my heart full of loose connections, hands across my eyes.

  • Patty Griffin - Mother of God
I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor but one day I won't live here anymore and someone will wonder who lived here before and went on their way.

  • Regina Spektor - Pavlov's Daughter
I hear you turning your thoughts off and I turn mine off too. The only thing I hear is you and you don't sound nice and you don't sound right and you don't sound good and you don't sound right.

  • Rilo Kiley - A Better Son/Daughter
The lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap and it teases you for weeks in its absence but you'll fight and you'll make it through. You'll fake it if you have and you'll show up for work with a smile.

  • Tori Amos - Father Lucifer
He says he reckons I'm a watercolor stain. He says I run and then I run from him and then I run. He didn't see me watching from the aeroplane. He wiped a tear and then he threw away our apple seed.
