hmmmmm I love this. A lot. A lot a lot.

I can’t wait to HEAR it since I didn’t listen tonight. It’s nearly 2am and I’m in my room and I don’t want to chance waking kiddos.

But I love the words.

definitely a sweet simple, powerful message. Yes, the bridge is a little weird. The lyrics are great, but to me, it doesn’t change enough from the verse….(didn’t you just tell me that?)

I would totally rework the melody on that part. But that’s just me.

i like this song.

la de dah dah dah was nice. made it feel light, not heavey; child-like without sounding childish.

makes me think of a little girl in her white sun dress with a little dirt on her face standing in the yard outside the house with that single tear from each eye streaked down her cheeks after she’s done something wrong and expects to get in trouble for it. and daddy’s standing there to forgive here mistake and love her and these are the words he would want to say to her if he thought she’d understand it… words he’d want her to hear later in life when the mistakes are bigger.

don’t touch the lyrics. just make the music video. and make it in the sticks of south georgia.

la de dah dah dah was the MOST FUN surprise in this song.

I’m saying this with the preface that I know NOTHING about songwriting… but it didn’t feel too wordy to me, because I like all the words; it felt like the third verse was the only place it got jumbled… but that felt more like a rhythm problem than a word problem?

I listened to this right when I woke up (ok, when I finally managed to get myself out of bed) this morning, and it struck me in a way I can’t really describe…probably because it was exactly what I needed to hear.

Listening to it again, the same holds true.

For some reason, the word “scatter” really resonates in my head.

nice… now write one for a boy & choose a name for our son [we need some help] and dedicate it to him (hey, you’ve got til June)
good comments so far, so I’ll just say keep up the good work and can’t wait to hear the final product

LOVE the chorus.

agreeing with the others about pulling back on the wordiness of the verses. (and maybe reworking the melody on the verse too only a little).

i like the name daisy. i really do. if we have another girl someday…

Al: Yes. I sat there and thought: I hear dada’s, but that’s SO not my style. Decided to keep ‘em because they fit the whimsy of the song.
