When I hear it, it makes me think about all the people out there, unfortunate ones,(me included) sons & daughters that weren't brought up "right" - and how their upbringing has messed up their social life. Although this may be the case - don't fret, just remember - "a lot of good & influencial people have come f*cked up family's with f*cked up parents" Joseph Campbell | Reviewer: Nicko | 8/28/07 It reminds me of something Joseph Campbell was quoted as saying in some guide about daily living. It is not demeaning at all. It really is just explaining the roll a father plays in a daughter's life, which, of course, is different than the roll a father plays in a son's life. We are different sexes with different vantage points in the world, so in this way, it is sexist. But demeaning it is not, because it stresses the importance of the father/daughter relationship and how the father can really screw it up. I've seen my own father do it. Anyway, Joseph Campbell describes how the father's roll shows the daughter how to relate to the world. It gets very deep, and he devotes many pages to it. Mayer captures the essence in one line, "daughters will love like you do". Fathers, may you teach your daughters how to love, and to be loved in return. i love this song | Reviewer: laura | 8/18/07 i dont particularly think anything about it is sexist. yeah he refers to a particular gender at some points in the song, but hes not descriminating so i dont see whats being argued here. god, i cry every time i hear this song .. im such a daddys girl :) deep. | Reviewer: rachael | 8/18/07 to this who thing this song is sexist- you're looking into it too much. it's true; more than anything. love this song!!! | Reviewer: Cara | 8/13/07 I love this song!!!! I know that many people that have posted things here have either had bad relationships with their parents or think this song is controversial. However, i dont wanna brag but I have a good relationship with my parents. I'm definately a daddy's girl, so this song really means a lot to me. As for this song being sexist and controversial, I can see where you are coming from. Yes, for people that are gay, this song doesn't really include you, but I think that it wasn't meant to completely exempt you. For John Mayer to write this song, thats just the way that it was for him. Had his situation been different, I think the song would have been different. A new outlook | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/13/07 This song is really beautiful... In response to DMU, my father has definately messed things up and my best friend, who is, like you, gay, has been one of the most important people in my life. It's him I think about when I read these lyrics. He pretty much renewed my shattered faith in men. So, I don't believe this song to be sexist or homophobic at all...it's all in the way you perceive things. Amazing! | Reviewer: Melissa | 8/9/07 i absolutely love this song! whenever i read the lyrics or here the song...it just makes me cry cuz its so deep and our parents do everything for us...and its so true! not like alot of the songs these days!! olii | Reviewer: Olivia | 8/6/07 this is the best dong ever, its really deep, and i think it is true, because everynthing we do, depends of the education our parents gave us when we were kids, and it also is really beautifulk because it taks about women in a great wy, that makes us feel so good, the guy who wrote this song is or was really inlove love this song | Reviewer: cara | 8/6/07 i love this song so much. its one of my favorite songs. n im having a sweet 16 soon n this is gona be the song me n my dad dance to. im really excited, and im so happy that i can have this song playing while me and my dad dance together. i love my dad, and i think this is an amazing song. I LOVE YOU JOHN MAYER! <3 Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/07 I'd heard this song dozens of times before, but....after reading the lyrics during a particularly emotional moment......wow. My wife has a father that didn't treat her well, and, heh, she's a maze and after 24 years it's coming apart and it's not about me at all. And we have a 15 year old daughter. I AM the God and weight of my daughter's world. Wow. Thanks, John. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
