The line "Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it" gets me every time.

[@mcrguitar316]

Daughter are so underrated

[@electricindigo3732]

ikr

[@MattiaMirabello]

+MCR Guitar I hope they stay like this. Don't wanna their music ruined for $$$$

[@xxsummer619]

Yeah

[@Annapaz25]

By whom?

[@KnigthMare69]

Underrated is very different from just being a hidden gem not known by everyone

[@Ba4x]

its always nice hearing a band grow up as you also age.

[@santapho]

It is also nice to grow yourself in spite of your liking band aging...

[@MrCzytnik]

They sounds soo much better live than on album.

[@jeremybaker5205]

i thought the same. i prefer this version.

[@Diesel-gp2zz]

Not for me! Their album was mix so precisely, the CD versions are so much perfectly mixed!

[@anthonycreach9338]

Yes it's better !

[@anthonycreach9338]

@@Diesel-gp2zz yes, the mix is very goog and crazy. But guitars in live are magicals

[@allysongil1963]

I want to float away to this song...I want to float in space and hear nothing but this..and I want to be nothing but this song.

[@evgenianovikova1339]

what you just described is so familiar

[@TheeNam3less]

Daughter is a gateway to a different world.

[@Pipikins321]

Ive never heard a song that captivates an emotional situation so well. I lost my grandma who has severe Alzheimers last year, this captures the pain, the sadness, the guilt.... all of it. And the skill it takes to articulate such feelings...... well done Elena and gang x

[@succulentcoconut5036]

2019 and it still hits hard asf. Elena's voice really be playing with my feelings more than the last Avengers movie and Game Of Thrones season.

[@diegomontoya8889]

I own two of their albums and was blessed to have been able to attend their L.A. show at the Ace Hotel on Friday March 25th. This was the first time I have ever seen them live. It was essentially a two hour dream of sonic rhythms and beautiful melodies and harmonies. If you are new to listening to daughter, here's what I recommend. After a long day, sit in your living room or your car, but it has to be dark. If it is dark and raining outside, even better. Then play the song "Smother" off of their album "Not to Disappear". Just close your eyes and listen. All the aforementioned elements that make them great are in this song. You will forever be chasing this first 'high' after this.

[@jordandionne2814]

Smother is from If you leave

[@breaththrou]

Diego Montoya Listen to Youth during a 12 am car ride.

[@pikasfed]

I reccomend the version of smother they did live in 2016 at Montreux Jazz Festival

[@Bicyclefarms]

Dude

[@ravengstrom5122]

Euphoria and sadness, blended together.

[@gabemon12]

I need to stop listening to this. It hurts me, a lot.

[@helenafish5979]

I agree.

[@gideongannon2128]

a tip : you can watch series on instaflixxer. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@keenanjaime3590]

@Gideon Gannon Definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)

[@tristanahmad8931]

@Gideon Gannon Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

[@yunusemre-rm6xr]

Although I listen to their every single song with all my heart, I can't listen to this one. This really hurts a lot. All those memories.

[@harnusa]

Heartbreaking

[@walasiewicz]

And you know this song comes from her heart

[@skatterpro]

This really isn't what I usually gravitate towards. Good music is good music, and this is so profound that it transcends a lot of my own boundaries. I don't associate with the fear that is the subject here, but the fear itself cuts deep. Beautifully put.

[@abigailmcdowell4248]

First second of music and I realized how much better this was gonna be than the album version

[@primejudicator7817]

Can't. Stop. Playing. This.

[@t3lepath]

Daughter is so underrated band 💔 They are amazing. I fell in love in Elena's voice

[@theone4393]

Radiohead, Low roar, and now this Daughter, this is music!

[@buitenzorg8169]

So lucky I find this band ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@totalt6600]

The voice of the Heart.

[@SalmanSalahuddien]

How can I hit like every time I watch this?

[@wewantthestrokes]

perfection. really

[@issat6495]

Ahh it’s that song that just breaks my soul but relatable more than anything I’ve ever listened to, especially with the current situation, this really hits me to the core. It’s soul crushing it really is

[@passo1advocacia]

what a sound! Beautiful, greetings from brazil

[@dokee9816]

Daughter so so heartbreaking. And they're making children And they're making love With their old excuses We are built for reproduction But I find it soothing When I am confined I'm just fearing one day soon I'll lose my mind Then I'll lose my children Then I'll lose my love Then I'll sit in silence Let the pictures soak Out of televisions Float across the room Whisper into one ear And out the other one Then I'll take my clothes off And I'll walk around Because it's so nice outside And I like the way the sun feels And when it's dark I'll call out in the night for my mother But she isn't coming back for me 'Cause she's already gone But you will not tell me that 'Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it And you…

[@saramilena.]

big thanksss ❤

[@user-br1pm9rw7t]

Обожаю ее песни. I so like her songs

[@alexanderp.5019]

The best live I've ever seen, man, that's awesome!!!

[@Mark08138642]

shame they edited the hosts response put after...this touched my soul, her voice is up there with Hannah from London Grammar and Ben Howard you can almost taste the emotion and feeling in thier voice!! Quite a searching thing, but somehow it is peaceful at the same time and I'm not sure how they manage, we are blessed to be alive at such a time!!

[@PerBrito]

Perfect. ❤

[@7heavenlyvirtues]

love Daughter live

[@Joruzhia]

Yep This live is so much better than original perhaps because everybody plays in same room at the same time

[@kili5896]

Just saw them in Toronto last night, they are amazing live. I said a few years ago, they're going to be the next Radiohead. We'll see about that I guess. Their cover songs (Daft Punk, Bon Iver to mention a couple) are AMAZING.

[@NinjaZXRR]

too bad they broke up

[@shima0947]

​@@NinjaZXRRbroke up? What about their new "Stereo mind game" record?

[@k2thayle]

great performance of this song. better than the album version IMO

[@johnpomeroy6931]

Way better live I’ve gotta say. Beautiful.

[@user-kg5rk2cv1y]

Finally I've found the song with true minor chords!! So depressive and deep and I really love it! Thanks guys! p.s. Lucy is so adorable!

[@leviichabod]

beautiful as always

[@Arthur_dekker]

I love you daughter❤️

[@fiveeyes2802]

Cool! I am digging this tune!

[@walasiewicz]

agreed!!! they are fuckin awesome! this IS their best song too

[@walasiewicz]

they should jam it out just a pinch more live when the guitar parts come in but i love it

[@nv8639]

Is there somebody on bass guitar or keyboards that is not shown? I'm trying to figure out where the bass sound comes from

[@hornofvalere]

Elena Tonra's 5th and 6th strings are downtuned.

[@sicsempertyrannis9024]

Is that Lucy Rose on guitar/keyboard?

[@lifewithoutera]

Anybody know who the woman is on keyboard/guitar?

[@65belton]

.. Lucy Parnell ..

[@sicsempertyrannis9024]

@president camacho You sound guilty.

[@diegomontoya8889]

Correction, "Smother" is on the Album "If You Leave." My apologies... Both are great albums.

[@lptomtom]

How do you call this genre? I feel like I've heard this countless times before...it sounds so...weak, limp, feeble!

[@JohnWestIV]

+lptomtom Nu-gaze (modern shoegazing) or Dream Pop.

[@GioCrolla]

+lptomtom Indie pop/electronic/ambient I guess, it's a bit hard to define in a word but I don't think that inherently makes it bad or good, or weak or strong.

[@IgorAnisimovnolook]

+lptomtom indie-pop and contemporary folk.

[@kevinnel7038]

+Kevin Nel, Hammock, Mogwai... Daughter? Really??? :)
