Daughter by Peter Blegvad

[@evelau]

I'm glad someone covered this song and finally woke some people to the amazing talent of Peter Blegvad. I like his music and his drawings immensely. Amazingly talented man.

So beautiful and sweet I love this song so much it really makes me appreciate my dad and this artist Peter is so talented!

[@jamescassara1341]

Hard to think Loudon Wainwright didn't write this. He's made it his own and it so encapsulates the family dynamics he's spent 40 plus years singing about.

So true

Thank-you! I'm using this for my daughters father daughter dance.

Wish there was more Blegvad stuff online; come to think of it I wish he was still releasing such cracking songs as this. The man's another vastly under-rated songwriter like Robyn Hitchcock and Lloyd Cole.

llooooll the funny thing is dat i just listened dis song now at the tv from the movie "knockned up" and i fell in love instantently and only god knows how im deep inside the "boom boom boom - dancehall" music but now i know i can lov these ones too...^^^

Absolutely Beautiful song, the lyrics are brilliant, for me it expresses how a parent feels about their child and the unconditional bond between them, this song is very special to me and my dad, so thank you for a truly amazing song xx

[@norseraider314]

im gonna be a dad any day now and this song has become a favorite of mine

[@imramblindad]

Beautiful song. I had no idea this wasn't Mr. Wainwright III's original song . . . I love this version. The finger-style guitar really suits the whole feel of it. Hah, this song makes me, an immature 20-something with a minimum wage job and no home, want to be a father.

[@eldeRobe]

You posted this comment 12 years ago, so I hope you achieved your wish to be a father. I, too, was an immature 20 year old more than 40 years ago, but was fortunate to meet my wife, get my act together, and experience the joy of the birth of my daughter when I was 27 years old. She's 34 now but will always be my baby. This song brings back my fondest memories of seeing my baby flourish and become a woman. She's a licensed attorney now and is getting married in a few months. I hope she gets to experience the same joy.

[@weaintdointhis]

Best version

[@bearteeka4782]

Fantastic. Glad I found this since if you listen to his kids, Loudon doesn't really live up to the lyrics.

[@stevessoony2010]

I dedicate this to my sweet one!

[@mybreathmymusic]

[@lovablebubble7]

"that's my daughter in the water/ everything she knows I taught her".

[@MSKOWALSKIK]

Thats my daughter in the Water

[@bluepikachu500]

Does this remind anyone else of Dust In The Wind by Kansas?

[@CMichealB86]

Knock up led me here

[@sohambasak4888]

same for me also sir...just now i watched knocked up...

[@dreamwell2020]

It's very difficult to decide whether this one is better than this version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g36VgJmBq72XqKM Hint: Both are correct answers.

[@dobbsiancant]

don't be daft.
