But you can translate this message to every kind of relation. Sometimes we just don't talk with people, who are so close to us. Who see us suffering. And we just don't talk to them, thinking we're alone. lol
Doesn't matter if daughter or father or husband and wife or whatever... GREAT SONG! LIVE WAY BETTER THAN STUDIO!
pretty cool, He rote this song to Melanie, while he and Melanie's mother were going through their divorce, and years later she's performing it with him
Even though i love both version of this song live (the other is secret world live) ive always liked this more. Maybe coz it means more that he is singing it with mel. Love it.
This song was written for Melanie. They had a difficult time when she was younger and he was out touring all the time. I think I heard him say this on his documentary Growing Up.
im pretty sure this song wasnt written about melanie but his other daughter who's name escapes me. still a very touching song though to sing on stage with one of his daughters
I much prefer Melanie to Paula Cole in this song. Paula Cole's voice is too strident in this song. She is a wonderful singer with a wonderful voice, but I prefer her singing alone. She doesn't blend with other voices very well. Peter and Melanie's voices were *made* to fit together. Brilliant.
Eyes speakOf course, there is no doubt that Paula Cole has a much better voice. But this song has been written for his daughter Melanie, and now they sing this song together! Look at Melanies eyes! Theres a moving moment in this video at 4:44 until the end of the song. Sorry but when Paula Cole has sung this tune, though her beautiful voice, has never had this expression in the eyes and never seemed fragile like what we see of Melanie in this video. Thanks for this post!
I saw his Secret World tour and no offense to his daughter but Paula Cole did a lot better on this. I feel the same way about the drummer as well. He just doesn't have what Manu had. Great video though.
this is such an amazing song. i was hoping he would play it when i saw him, but he didn't. he did a great show by the way. this was always one of my favorite songs of his.
este es el grito desesperado de miles de pobres en Colombia que mantienen a sus hijos en las calles, desplazados de sus hogares, en las ciudades viendo la espalda de los señoritos que no hacen nada por solucionarlo...
I know that Peter wrote that song for his daughter but I'm not sure if it was Melanie or Anna. Either way, that was quite moving hearing the two of them sing it.
Ver a Melanie emocionada cuando termina el tema me conmueve el alma. Se nota que ama mucho a su padre, bueno, él debe ser un hombre maravilloso. THANKS!!!
wow did she sing that song like she owned it

Meh, they were about the same. The force of the song is Peter, not the girl. As for the drummer, that new guy is kick ass.

Yeah, but the song is about his daughter and their lack of communication at the time.

I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away
