  • I'm a P.Gabriel fan and stumbled upon your video. All I can say is your Dad should be proud.

  • really nice...i hope in some years my children makes me a present like this...

  • I honestly don't understand how this video can have ANY dislikes, even if it's a small amount like 4. This was beautiful. Your father is a lucky man to have a daughter caring enough to put this together. If I ever had a daughter and she did something like this for me, I wouldn't be able to hold it together...

  • Lovely, nothing but Lovely

  • Herzige Idee:-) (lovely idea!)

  • Don't tell anyone, but that made me cry a little. That was beautiful. Bravo

  • This is so appropriate: You making this beautiful video for your dad and using this particular song, where Peter Gabriel sings with his daughter Melanie. :)

  • Que lindo regalo para tu Papá!!! Que maravilla este tema de Gabriel.

    Que bien lo combinaste.

    Gracias por compartirlo.

  • Really nice video :)

  • DEAR ELIZABETH CASS .... MARRIED WITH ME !! I LOVE YOU :-)

  • HI.

    I came from searching for the scrubs theme over Peter Gabriel to your video.

    I'am a metal singer from Germany and i can say this was realy touching me and it's the best version that i found beside the scrubs good bye scene (respeckt). I hope you all doing well.

    Thank's

    Metal on

  • what a cute video i must admit i didn't read it was for fathers day and got so nervous it was going to say rest in peace at the end that i almost started crying hahahah

  • Really beautiful! So sweet!

  • awesome, goosebumps. I try my best every day to be the best father I can. I hope my daughter will feel the same way about me, as you do of yours.

  • this song is what love sounds like!!!!!!! makes me think of my daddy, hes in Afghanistan.

  • Touching and inspiring. I have a 9 yr. old daughter from a failed relationship (I see her once a week or so) and this moves me. Thanks-- anytime a great song is applied to filmed footage (like Gabriel's "Father to Son" especially) relating to something personal, is always a match made in heaven. Be well... :) (I'm a professional pianist/keyboardist in Boston)

  • When my daughter was born in 1985 I had never been happier in my life.We had tried for 7 years but couldn't conceive----I filmed her exactly as this--with utter joy that I was blessed to a father to such a sweet,loving child.

    10 years ago,at age 16,she was suddenly and instantly taken from us.In that time I've not been capable to play the hours and hours of her life..that's right there in front of me.I still won't be able to--but that was us in your movie---thank you.

  • this is truly awesome you must love your father really much....

  • Im cryin now .. Love it .. just amazing ..

  • fantastic tribute. (and I, clearly, don't even know you). Beautiful. Really nice. Good on you. All of you

  • What a lucky daddy!  Beautiful!

  • Holy cow. I'm 17 years old male, high school extreme athlete and I'm just balling. holy cow that's just so touching. whoever you are, the 15 year old girl, you truly know what love is. i'm just speechless of how amazing you are. You're father can easily say "That's my daughter, isn't she amazing?"

  • It's very touchy song.

  • I had to be cold heart raccoon to be not crying after viewing this touching video.

  • This VIdeo didnt make me cry..... just leak awesome... =P hahaha FANTASTIC JOB! =D

  • This is a very special video. It touches my soul and brings back memories of my own father, gone for 25 years now. I hold him in my heart, always. No work in the world - neither artistic genius no scientific discovery, athletic prowess nor financial success - can come close to the importance of raising a child.

    Your father has been given a remarkable tribute here. He is richly blessed!

  • this is one of the most beautiful video's I have ever seen. Your relationship with your dad is amazing. xxx

  • Isnt it really nice how people can be so nice =) video was lovely, and the comments are beautiful :-) usely see agressive comments, i think this video means sumfin to all of us, god bless you all xxxx

  • Love it. :-) blessxxx

  • be very proud and very thankful.........beautiful

  • Sorry Magnetic Fields... your version (which of course is the ORIGINAL) is quite good... but Peter Gabriels's cover version simply is the best... by far! I saw him performing it in Berlin in March 2010... it was one of the most touching concerts of my life. My band and I tried to cover the song - you can hear it on my channel ;-)

  • Wow! amazing! I miss my dad so much. I lost him in February. He must be so proud of you. Great video.

  • There are many different cover versions of the Magnetic Fields' original (for instance there is an interesting one on my channel), but Peter Gabriel's version is by far just simply the very best!

  • Wow, that song together with your video was like a one-two punch to my heart! You've left me with a bizarre sort of happy melancholy(?). If you aren't into professional video production (yet), you should seriously consider it! Really well done.

  • Your dad is a lucky guy.

  • Very special tribute, more touching that PG original video on this supeerb song, as they say " PRICELESS" congratulations to your father, you are a sensible lady

  • Your father must be so proud of you. Thanks for sharing this on here, its perfect.

  • You did such a great job...I like this better than any other video of this song. What a great gift of love...

  • your father must be fortunate to have a daughter like you : ) good job

  • oh, I love this song! ♥

    you made this for your dad? that's so sweet! I wish I would have thought of it!

  • im sure your father loved it..nice work :)

  • this video is amazing =) 

  • That's amazing...what did your father say?beautiful...

  • This is a beautiful work of art (and a parcel of your life with your father). My father died unexpectedly in 2003, and I still miss him. I talk to him often, even today. I wish everyone could have a close, loving relationship with their parents - especially before time runs out. I thank you for this wonderful gift that you decided to share with the world.

  • soooooo cute, really*

  • family is the most importent thing of the world we are all childrens of love

  • this was so cute:D for some strange reason i really liked how the video footage was recorded from a tv:P this song always brings tears to my eyes..

  • Absolutely charming! I was just looking for Peter Gabriel videos and came upon this one. Really lovely. (And to echo a sentiment written by another poster...I too, wish I had the type of relationship with MY father, as you do with yours.)

    All best wishes and love to you and your family. :)

  • We got to see PG last night at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. This song brought tears to my eyes last night, and even more tears to my eyes this morning watching your beautiful, touching tribute. Having a daughter myself, trust me when I tell you Elizabeth that as much as you love your Dad, it is dwarfed in comparison to the love I'm sure he has for you. You're tribute does him proud.

  • wonderful

    bravo

    g

  • Great video! I don't know you, or your dad, and this video brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing it!

  • That is an amazing video. Instead of just watching this video... you feel it. Beautifully done.

  • That is an amazing video. Instead of just watching this video... you feel it.  Beautifully done.

  • beautiful!

  • Simply amazing video. You'd have to have ice water in your veins to not be impacted by this. The Irony to me is so many people don't understand or like these lyrics. It's an amazing song and Peter Gabriel does a masterful job on the vocals. The love you both shared for each other is a wonderful thing. I wish you all the best.

  • maybe one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

  • Great job Elizabeth . Very touching I haven't talked to my parents in years, and was never close .....beautiful to see the real love you have for each other.

  • Great job Elizabeth . Very touching I haven't talked to my parents in years, and was never close .....beautiful to see the real love you have for each other.

  • Tears this video moves me my father has parkinsons im crying

  • color blind productions huh?

    i might give them a call ;)

  • yeah, I made this when I was about 15 and I used to put that in front of my videos just being silly :)

  • i almost never leave a remark, but this time i just had to say - amazing

  • wow, nicely done, your father must be one swell guy.

  • I think you are the best daughter in the world. And, from the pics in the video, your father is the greatest. We need more people like you. Thank you for the video!

  • Thank you for this video, it is amazing, it touched me when i watched it. :-)

  • Watching this video, my loneliness, seems to disappear, I miss my father, I miss my son, but when I remember them, It makes me feel alive again... Thank you for warm up my heart again...

  • Wonderful video - great daughter and obviously loving daddy. Thank u for sharing this.

  • I love your video. I watch it when I'm feeling down. It makes me wish I had this kind of relationship with my own father.

  • The most touching video i saw on YouTube.

    You really love your dad ! I think you made the perfect choice of music.

    Thank you for that video :)

  • Wau......................

  • I love this video and song. great job, and I am sure your dad was very happy!

  • This is really ... beautiful ... I dont know how to express myself ... simply great.

  • Its ... so much beautiful ... really ... I dont know how to express it. Simply great!

  • Your father must be so proud of you. 'Be easy?' who in the world would ever say anything bad about it? If anyone ever does, understand that they do not understand. And, they deserve our pitty.

  • Thank You for all the comments! some are so touching they bring tears to my eyes!

    Good luck to everyone :)

    Elizabeth!

  • Seeing your great relationship with your father brings tears to mine.

    Would love to have a relationship with my dad like that.

    Thanks for posting your video.

  • Thank you for made and posted this video. I wish that you always have this kind of love in your heart, and your father and mother can always be around.

    It´s the first time since many years, that something made me cry. I thought that my heart was frozen for a long time, but maybe, not anymore. I miss my father, and I miss my son, this loneliness it seems to disappear, when I watch your video. One, an inspiration for life, the other, my only light, and a promess for the future. Thanks again.

  • i miss my dad. after i finish school i will visit him. i only see him every 2 years. hes in romania and im in germany. i got a special chance and im going to make my dad proud. i make fun of other people probably cuz they have a dad.

  • Thank you.

    ...thank you both so very much.

  • Great parents make for great kids -- who then make great parents in their turn.

    Too many people don't really appreciate what they have until too late. You & your dad are both blessed to know what you have right now. Thanks for reminding all of us to appreciate what we have.

    Cheers.

  • I'm so lame but it made me tear up! Great idea sweetie! Very awesome work :)

  • You dont choose a good father, you are blessed with one. And it is clear you have an exceptional father. My hope and prayer is that I too can measure up to the standard that yours as placed for me. And thank you for the upload, it made me blubber like a little, which in turn made me think on my Daughter Grace.

  • An absolutely amazing job, You could've not picked a better song, and you're imagery is wonderful. You are truly an artist. Excellent job.

  • Beautiful...of all the things humans can give one another love is the greatest. Love is free but it's also priceless. Thanks for sharing it.

  • You really did an amazing job with this, wow, I am absolutely floored.

  • that was so beautiful

  • Your father is the luckiest man in the world, and it appears that you are the luckiest woman in the world. For those such as me, who grew up without a father or a father figure, this gift to your father is for me both unbelievably beautiful and poignant and simultaneously biittersweet. The saving grace, and what really made the most impact to me, is how deeply appreciative you are and also that you obviously understand how priceless this amazing relationship that you are so lucky to share is.

  • this mad me tear up. it reminds me of me and my daddy. thank you for sharing that with me, i really enjoyed it, from one daddys girl to another

  • i was searching for the artist of this song when i came across this vid and began watching it. my twin daughters heard the song and sat next to me to watch it too. i'm 22 and my babies are 2. it breaks my heart knowing that they will grow up and lead their own lives some day, and the days past by so fast. it's true what ppl say, kids grow up fast. very fast. i just hope they don't forget me and their mommy.. i'm sure your vid hit your dad hard. it was very touching. :)
