Hi all here is my latest. May ring true for those that have raised children.
All comments welcome.

Daughter dont go

Don’t go to the city of reputed renown the evil's there will take you down.
There’s all sorts of rabble with their sleazy designs, daughter don’t you go to town.

Think of what you doing and don’t hesitate or honey all night long be pacing the floor

Hear my words of wisdom and avoid those chains There’s no need to walk out the door. No! No! No! There’s no need to walk out the door

Bridge

...........................................................................
What will you do when your trapped within the darkness. No! No! No!
What will you do when your lost there all on your own.
...........................................................................

I raised you as my own since your sweet mother died.
Always kept you close by my side.

There’s no other kin that's been closer to me, Oh daughter don’t you make me
cry.


Better take your chances and you run back home, the devils got his evil vice.
Best call to the heavens and beg your release, no one’s gonna hear you crying. Oh no no no. No ones gonna hear you crying. No ones gonna hear you crying.

Hello Rob,

I liked this a lot! To my ears, it has a late 1960s vibe. The additional reverb is perfect for this song. Strong vocal and perfect backing tracks.

We have 2 daughters - 46 and 48 years old. Fortunately, no real problems with either of them. but your message is good one.

Wishing you the best. Hope all is well in Oz.

Alan

Hi Rob,

Very good song and yes it's true.
Never mind how old they are and if it's a daughter or a son (I have a son) you always worry (a bit).
So... very good lyrics and vocals!

Cool song, Rob. I heard the late 60's vibe that Alan mentioned - sort of like The Animals, but updated. Good mix. Good vocal...

That's an interesting arrangement, vocal and lyric.

Different in many good ways.

As I'm sure we all have, we've seen friends and families that were fortunate
with no problems in this area and others that lived through hell.

Good message song and a nice production to present it with.

Enjoyed it!

Wow, you nailed this! It definitely sounds reminiscent of music from the 60's to me. It's got a mesmerizing groove, and not to mention - holy moly, is this tune ever catchy! By the end of it my foot was tapping, and I was definitely singing along to that chorus in my head (only in my head though, so as to preserve the sanity of my co workers).

I really, really liked this. Great job, and thanks so much for sharing smile

Rob,
There`s a nice moody atmosphere ( yes, I got that Animals vibe Floyd mentioned too!) and a driving beat going on behind your excellent lyrics. Your vocal is good - really sounds like you`ve walked the walk on the advice here... which definitely hits the mark with this dad.

This song really has a vintage feel to it. It looks like I'm not the only one that thinks this! Seems it reminds people of a 60s vibe. Maybe that's the vintage vibe that I'm getting from it.

I really love this arrangement, and I really like the overall style choices that you've made here. I think the vocals are also on point. You really did a fantastic job on this one!

Thanks for sharing.


Cheers,
Ember
