The song is called "Your daddy's eyes" and is a ballad from the POV of a father who's ex doesn't allow him to get to know his own child. I wrote that song with a friend of mine in mind who actually went through all of that and five years after his daughter was born, still hasn't met her in person. That friend of mine also happens to be a great singer, so I asked him to do the vocals on the song. It is the B-side of his current single and it will also be on my own upcoming album "The Return to Blueberry hill" The story of this song began a few years ago, Big Rey and his then girlfriend were expecting their first child but without an explanation, the said girlfriend left him and basically is ignoring all attempts even through court order for him to even meet his own daughter. By chance I ran into that woman and saw the girl and one thing that I saw straight away was how much she looked like Big Rey, even down to the eyes. I played guitar, Bass, 12 string guitar and mandolin, while drums, classical guitar and further guitar duties were handled by Maarten Driessen and Jacques Joosten, the whole thing was recorded in Maarten Driessen's studio The song is mine, registered and all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6PzjEGtgBM#t=123 Spring is in the air See the fun is everywhere The flowers are growing high see the children in the park as they are playing until dark The birds are in the sky Sometimes I wonder how it feels to hold your hand for you I would travel all across the land I see their parents take them away to somewhere safe It breaks my heart but I must be forever brave 'Cause you don't know me 'cause your mother won't allow you so Are you just like me? Oh how I really would love to know Love to take you down to school where they teach you all the rules get you ready for the world Buy you dresses oh so fair put pink ribbons in your hair You'll be a perfect girl Tell you stories before you go to sleep at night My little princess, I'll be your king and everything's right And don't worry about the nightmares that could appear Give me a hug, you're safe because your daddy is here. But you don't know me 'Cause your mother won't allow you so Are you just like me? Oh how I really want to know Not even born I was forced to say goodbye The pictures shown Have a glimpse of paradise Because those pictures show that you have your daddy's eyes. |
