Song for Friday



This isn't from my cycle in this morning but came on last night, as I was holding little Lucas, trying to get him to go to sleep. As the song started, he succumbed and sank into a deep slumber. Holding his warm, little body, in my arms, this great song made me feel hugely paternal and emotional about fatherhood. The repeated line 'it's you and me...daddy' stuck hard in my throat.
And the video is no less sentimental and I love the magnificent father-figure of Donald Sutherland.
As I listened and held Lucas, I thought too about Pete and Karen and about baby Milo, who they've just welcomed into the world and I'd like to dedicate this song to him.
