  • I have very little memories of my Father. I have a lot of aunts and uncles that tell me he was a great man. He was a God fearing man who loved to play the guitar, could fix anything broken on the car and in the house, was a great fisherman and love spending time with my older brothers and older sister. Thank you for this video it cause to surface little but good memories of him.

  • Pictures say a millions words. Still very cool.

  • The companies that do this suck. Sony started by giving us root kits and damaging everyones operating systems. The government let them do this. I have never again bought another Sony product. They pay radio stations to play their music but punish the biggest promoters of their music, the public.

  • WARNER MUSIC OGERS ! ! !

  • thats bull shit to block this song!

  • 42 and have no idea how it feels to have a child ,to ahh feel that type of connection it must be great,it must must be the best!

  • my dads in jail but he wants to become a better man

  • I thoroughly enjoyed this video and makes me miss the times I had with my Dad.

    Who has been gone 19 years now. Also makes me feel bad for My Daughters Dad not wanting to be in her life so much he missed out on. The photo's of bonding with a child no matter what the age is a beautiful thing as many parents don't take the time

    now days to do that. Kids need to be shown Love not just told they are Loved and this

    video was a pleasant choice of photo's to show that happening. Thanks for the Video.

  • I agree and stand behind your decision to boycott WMG! YT took the time to review one of my vids, ok'd it only to turn around and inform me "after publishing it" and removed my soundtrack, thus forcing me to pick from their own selections. It ruined all my hours of hard work. I have long since, obtained permission to use any and all tracks for my video's and some are listed with Itunes! YT can kiss my skinny white Canadian Fannie! I've seen Daddy's Hands in here. Oddly, they're not tagged!

  • wow i love this tune and the video.

  • Nice Job!

  • i love my beautiful little girl shes the olny girl for me.

  • cati tatici sunt langa copii lor?.............:(

  • i have the best dad in the world ive known my dad all my life and he protects me

    when i was 2 he always use to check my car seat before i got in and ppl called him

    paranoid but when i was 3 we had a car wreck and i didnt get hurt i only bit my lip and my dad got hurt real bad he shatterd his face bones and he had all this stuff done to his leg now 9 years later he has his leg cut off and he still takes care of me and my lil sis i love my dad hes the best :)

  • My dad just called today and said he is coming in a couple weeks cause he wants to meet me and my siblings. I haven't seen him in 17 and a half years!

  • @jklolstay same thing happened to me. only its been about 14 years.

  • God be with you.

  • tht is so sweeeet.. so wt hapd.. how happy u guys must have been.. tel us wt happed then.. GOD bless both of ur families

  • OH my gosh that's so sad I wish i didnt know mine :-(

  • @jklolstay  i cried.....

  • @jklolstay Thats great!

  • WMG stocks are already down! It works!

  • "Dear" WMG Management,My impression about the WMG is confirmed when I saw the pics of your management on your site. They are are really a bunch of old farts that are not in touch with today's market anymore! WMG attitude stinks especially removing "your" music by selfmade clips where people commemorate their decieced love ones.

  • The blame can't solely be put on WMG. YT carried out the request to block their music, and started with the vids with the most views. You will find Holly Dunn singing the song originally used to create this here on YT. It appears that the blocking wasn't applied to all vids -- just the most popular at the time.  Thanks for your comments. ~~ Lynn

  • Which sucks! Why would only the popular vids be blocked? Youtube has been going downhill since google bought it. Damn, google! I refuse to use that now.

  • WMG must stand for Worldwide Money Grabbers! I know I'm not the first one and certainly not the last but as of today I wont be buying any of your products anymore! BOYCOT WMG!

  • I recently lost my dad to cancer...this video made me cry. I miss him so much! Thanks for this.

  • My sincere condolences.  ~~ Lynn

  • i lost my dad last year to cancer ..;

  • @babygurlspoiled4409

    i lost my daddy at 2006 he was 35 :'(((

  • nice happy vidieo!!!!! it made me a little jealous,,i didnt grow up with my daddy and neither did my girls,, i am glad some normality still remainds!

  • I didn't grow up with a dad either, but it's gonna make me a better one to my kids.

  • i know what you mean its not fair but your happy for others who can have theirs. even though i didnt have my dad in my life for long, i have had God who has been a great father to me, who wants to be a father to us all. God loves you and is always in a good mood with you, and his arms are wide open. He loves you so much

  • you have my support in boycotting warner music

  • i love this song i have never heared it b4

  • this is greate!!!!

  • thank you

  • THis is a wonderful video!

  • MyLaydy......you created a sweet video about fathers.

    I think a perfect song for this video would be the very sad

    "Father You Believed" sung by the late Henry Iglesias. There is a little fan video of the song on YouTube.

    But you should be warned the song makes most people cry.

  • This song is not related to Holly Dunn's! Was your Dad a pedophile? I know some children are abused sexually, physically and emotionally. YouTube is not a place to reach out for help, but if you feel comfortable in doing so then as long as you feel better is what counts! It takes alot of courage to express your feeling, no matter what others think! That part is irrelevant!  I hope I was some help to you as many others that faced the wrath of parential abuse? Speaking for myself, I do care!

  • To the right, I explained what happened to the original audio and how this audio ended up here. I've also added "Warner Music Version" to the title in protest of what is happening to good music here on YT. Comments require approval because with over 500,000 views, this video is a target of porn spammers. Some viewers are at an impressionable age and I don't want them finding that on one of my vids. I hope this clarified the reason for the vid being the way it is. Thanks for your interest. ~ Lynn

  • Is your father a pedophile? This is not Holly Dunn's song Daddy's Hands! I don't mean any disrespect but I do not think I see the picture you are trying to paint! I realize children get abused either

    physically, sexually or emotionally but there is help out there! You have many options available, But I'm glad to see you want to do something about it! There is nothing wrong with reaching out on YT to express your feelings. But ask yourself this question, Does this make you feel better?

  • This video originally had Holly Dunn's Daddy's Hands as a Father's Day tribute to all Dads. YT/WMG's battle resulted in the audio being blocked. By that time, there were 100s of comments from people mourning fathers who passed on or left. Some comments praised fathers, some criticized. Despite the new audio, people continue to use this video to put their feelings out there. I feel it's because there are others here who understand. That's why I left it as is. -- continued above --

  • In my business I am blesed to see lots of good men who treat their familys like this. Unfortuntely I know far too many who are the exact oposite. I never was blessed with kids, I can only imagine what kind of father I would be.

  • you guys need to get over your self people have problems not every one need to hear about it or care..

  • Sometimes it helps people to know that other people have the same problems, or feel the same way about things. It makes people feel less alone -- especially in cases of abuse or in times of grieving the loss of a loved one. If you are one of the few who can manage just fine, then count yourself lucky, but don't put others down for needing to reach out to someone. Thanks for your comment.

  • christina,thats a very rude and unkind thing to say to someone who has put their heart into making a video... if YOU don't care then why say anything at all?

  • and u have problems too and you talk to people about it one time or another that was not something nice to say... "if you have nothing nice to say than do not say anything at all" !! and if you do not care then you do not have to read it or say anything about it !

  • dads suck

  • obviously you have some things to take care of with him,

  • My dad is a drunk, i miss a real dad so i kan go fish and klimb in the mountains, it is not the same with another adult.

  • makes me want to cry cause i never known my real dad. gave me away when i was 5

  • dis song is sad it makes me cry

  • WARNER IS CORRUPT!

  • oh what a beautiful video just makes me cry and also realise how much I miss my dad. Thank you for bring back some beautiful memories

  • Who  is this instrumental by ? I like this.

  • Its great that they did this to a song that never gets any radio play, here is about the only place you could hear this song.

    Greedy SOBs

  • I'm sorry, but the porn spammers keep hitting this video so from now on, comments will require approval. I hope you understand. I will approve all respectful comments but not the porn. This video is special to a lot of people despite the original audio being blocked, and I do not want that spoiled by the porn spam. Thank you. ~~ Lynn

  • the part at 1:47 Reminds me of my dad R.I.P. Ill never forget you dad XOXO

  • Warner Music are stupid asses seriously. They ruined the whole experience of this video... what a group of idiots!!

  • Thank you Lynn ... ... for posting the original version.

    I was fortunate to view it and make it a favorite ... and now saddened it is gone and disappointed with Warner policy.

    "Daddy's Hands" by Holly Dunn was among many between 1985-1995 that endeared me to country music ...

    ... wonderful lyrics & great instrumentals that allow the voice/message to shine :)

  • RIP

  • i agree with you i also posted a video with Holly Dunn's song Daddy's Hands and i had to change it because of the "copyright law" junk i found a fairly good song to replace it but not as good as the Daddy's Hands song. where has the freedom gone too.

  • i miss my daddy...:[[

  • I miss my Dad too! I'll set here and help ya cry. :( Thanks Lynn, this video is precious!

  • Yes, it would have been great to hear the words to this beautiful song. Another one I like is "Daddy's Little Girl" by Peter Love. You will love the lyrics, guaranteed to make you cry!

  • great video..would have been nice to hear the original music, of course. the video I created of my dad was blocked too. Had a few blocked by Warner.

  • awesome video

  • Thank you Ashley, but it is much better with the original audio by Holly Dunn. ~~ Lynn

  • This was a beautiful song set to a great Video. I just hate that they did this

  • Not to be an ass, but technically you were breaking the law .... but WHO CARES? It's not like Warner is counting on these great, old, (and sadly almost-forgotten) country tracks for their profits ... no appreciation for sentimentality found from Warner. :-(

  • Unrealistic... All the man hands are ringed....

  • I UNDERSTAND WHY !!!!!!!

  • Its a friggin instumental!

  • no music

  • That may be better than what the audio swap selected. I'm sorry that it is not what you came to hear. Warner Music Group and YouTube are still battling and the fall-out is the takedown of the music from very popular videos like this one. Some are being taken down entirely. I chose to leave this as an example of what their greed can do. Thank you for stopping by. ~~ Lynn

  • I hear some crappy instrumental music totally wrong for this vistory. Shame on Warner Music!

  • Thank you for your support kind Sir. It appears that YT were playing games last night. I was able to hear the original audio all evening. I had thanked them for having a change of heart, but I was wrong to do so - leopards can't change their spots! ;) xx

  • Please let me know if you do not hear "Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn" playing with this video. YouTube seems to be having technical difficulties or are playing games. Thank you. ~~ Lynn

  • I...also, do not hear your original music...

  • What you hear took me about 1/2 dozen times to find. I just couldn't put heavy metal with this. ;) Thank you! oxox

  • Honestly.... I hear obo/ instrumental music... maybe its approved in some areas and not in others... my "Smoking" one has that" issue"..its blocked in some places, not others..?

  • Thank you. As I said, each time I come here, I hear the original audio -- Holly Dunn singing "Daddy's Hands".

  • My dad has passed away and this song means alot to me and many others. Love you daddy. Janet

  • Janet, did you hear Holly Dunn's "Daddy's Hands" playing, or some other audio? YT seems to be blocking it in some areas. Thank you. ~~ Lynn

  • VIEWERS: WARNER MUSIC AND YOUTUBE BLOCKED THIS VIDEO'S ORIGINAL AUDIO TRACK. I have tried YT's "Audio Swap" and the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, and their selection was definitely not suitable. No disrespect to this artist, but it obviously isn't what should be here. Isn't GREED a wonderful thing!?! If you've used WARNER-owned music, be prepared -- you could be next! Please join me in boycotting purchase of any Warner-owned music. Read the CD jacket for label information. ~~ Lynn 09-01-23

  • I love this song because since I grow up and moved out of state I miss my dad very much..There are days I wish that I was there with both my mom and dad but with kids it is hard to move again..I love you dad

  • my dad hasn't passed away, but i always thought he was an ass-hole, and then i realized he did all he did because he cared, life is hard on a family of 6 with such little cash, this song i remember, listening to with him, as one of the closest moments of my life with him, he's strict, and hardened because he's seen the shit life gives and he's trying to prepare me for it and get me ready. i am 17.

  • I never lost my father but lost my brother who left a 11 year old behind. This song goes to my brother Jonathan and to his daughter Megan. Love you two so much.

  • I never lost my dad....but my 4 older siblings did. My siblings father who died has always been know as my and my sister who have a different dad. This was played at his funeral. I love you Daddy Russell!!!

  • my daddy died just a week ago,

    and i miss him so much<3

    i love him more then life,

    he meant an awful lot to me.

    Sept. 24, 1973- Jan. 13, 2009

  • I'm Sorry. My dad passed away in 2005. Everytime i hear this song i think about him

    Sept.12 1945 - Oct.23 2005. I miss him so much

  • sweerbeargirl, That is most surely sad. That will be a day in your memory forever....That is a great day. It is also my birthday.

  • I am so sorry about your dad, and to lose him at such at young age can't be easy on anyone.

  • miss u dad passed 10/04

  • i tried uploading a video based on the same idea, w/same song and youtube said i broke copyright laws w/song??? did this happen to you?

    great video btw...

  • Thank you Woodfist24. This video has been up for well over a year now. It is just recently that YouTube has started to crack down on what they consider copyright infringement. Part of this stems from a recent court case between Warner Music and YouTube. Eventually, everything that is owned by Warner will come down. There is information and a link to an article on my channel if you're interested. Thanks again. ~~ Lynn

  • thx a bunch

  • My dad didn't Die....but he lives half way across the country. I miss him a lot. But it must be hard on those who's parents dies. I'm sorry to you all! =)

  • This sucks you can make a better video than that

  • "This sucks" - I don't think so, and I don't think too many others do either. "you can make a better video than that" - I could now, but at the time, this was my best. Let's see your attempt!

  • I think you have done a GREAT job!!! My Daddy is the best!! I appreciate your video!!!

  • Thank you monhan95! I appreciate your viewing and commenting on my video. :) ~~ Lynn

  • I have a daddy that loves me much;

    but this

    song makes me cry every time.

  • I have met my dad, about four years ago... and i haven't seen him in a year, he finally emailed me the other day saying how much he hate me and how horrible I was... so lol I geuss that this song doesn't go to my dad, but my mom can relate!

  • Well he is the one missing out !

  • OMG :( They played this song at my Grandaddy's funeral :(!!!!!!

  • Ya know to those of you that never had that in your father I can relate... I never did.... I was lucky in having my grandparents... but my daughter has this is HER father... She has a man that will do anything for her... thats enough for me

  • no song could say what this this song says about mt daddy,,,,to the tee daddy i miss you and ned you so much...karen

  • My dad isn't perfect but I love him soo much- I wish we didn't live so far apart, I miss my family!

  • i only wish and DREAM, of having had a father has wonderful as this song, he never could come even close...and still yet even at my age, i still try. its so sad, when you have the dad you never would have selected, and envied the father all of your friends had, and the people here who can relate to this song still make me envious, eventhough im raised up, id be nice to have a dad to be there and to count on. i didnt get that in eigether parent, lucky me:(

  • im daddys lil girl

    i love my daddy sooo much

  • I wish dat i could relate to dis song...;(

  • wow this reminds me of my grandfather (who died 5 years ago) and he pretty much raised me so i give kudos to whhomever made this video.

  • there is no reason that i love this song i just do it makes me smile and reminds me of my grandpa on my moms side

  • wow redneck you got a way to paint a hero out of a coward.

  • never judge a man till you've walked a mile in their shoes dude

  • this song is true..xx

  • I cannot see a man walking away from his kids. If he did leave because of you then it was because he knew he was wrong for you, not that you were wrong for him. As a baby you were without fault. And therefor you cannot say it was your fault. Please take it from a father that missed his little girls youngest years, never fault yourself because of him. He would not want it.

  • As a daddy that was apart from his baby girl most of her life, I say to you girls here that I am so sorry for you. But no matter what, for the most part you daddy loves you. He may not see ya but I can tell you that he thinks of you. He hopes you are ok. And he prays for your love. Don't give up. Someday just maybe things can work out. But please don't ever put yourself down because of someone else's weakness. All the world loves a little girl.

  • this song used to scare me

  • reminds me of my dad and always will!

  • I cant wait for my husband and I to be parents. He's going to be a great daddy. I love you Julius <3

  • my dad has just left for week. he does this once a year. hunting.

    He works alot now so I dont get to see him alot. so i love it when he's home.

    'But when every he sneaks up behind me and covers my eyes I know it's him.

    because of the rough callosed hard working hands.

  • They played this song at my father n laws funeral. He was such a good christian man, strong and wise. I miss him.

  • I always loved this song ever since I was a little girl. Even though my dad wasn't in my life until I was 16 this song means a lot to me.

  • They played this song at a wedding i went to ..... I cried! lol!

  • They played this song at my Grandaddy's Funeral and they played The Cow Boy SONG

  • This is one of my favorite Songs.
