Oh, Daughter

OH, DAUGHTER

Oh, daughter
Where’s the sunshine?
I see how deep the valley you’re in
Though blackened clouds and fields of trouble
Won’t you let the smiles come again

Oh, daughter
Undone hero
I know it’s hard for you to cope
Through sleepless nights and heartache mornings
Some words to bring you hope

You can’t stop the rain
From falling on you
You can’t stop the world spinning you
But when these trials seem far from over
You can dance and they can’t stop you

Moments
Beautiful chances
Don’t let another one slip away
When something good it becomes your calling
Take a step and you’re on your way

Hard times
And the good times too
And all the times that come between
It builds the soul and it’ll break your heart
You know strength is what it means

You can’t stop the rain
From falling on you
You can’t stop the world spinning you
But when these trials seem far from over
You can dance and they can’t stop you

You can’t stop the rain
From falling on you
You can’t stop the world spinning you
But when these trials seem far from over
You can dance and they can’t stop you

'Oh, Daughter' is one of 12 tracks from the jazz album, 'The Jericho Notes' by Peter Holmes. Although the recording was completed in 2004, it's just being released now. But, it's jazz. Happily, there's no best before date.

A critic at the well regarded U.S. publication, Jazz Week, ranked The Jericho Notes 6th best recording of 2004. Just ahead of Alice Coltrane and Al Jarreau.

The foundation of the recording is a trio comprised of Robi Botos, on piano, Mike McLelland, on drums and Peter Holmes, on bass and vocals. They're joined on various tracks by horn players Kevin Turcotte, William Carn, Chris Mitchell, Sean Nykwist and Alexis Baro.

The Jericho Notes was written and produced by Peter Holmes, with Igor Vrabac for the Flatacre label.
