Song of the Week (i): Cat's In The Cradle


The first 'Song of the Week' for this week is“Cats in the Cradle”by the late American singer-songwriter Harry Chapin,

A huge hit in the early 1970’s, there have been numerous versions through the years, some of which have re-entered the charts.

As will become clear, the theme of the song is fatherhood, and the impact a certain kind of fatherhood can have on the development of children.
