Why My Daughter Loves Harry StylesBy Michael Seeger QuailBellMagazine.com I am my mother’s son. She liked music. And she loved Frank Sinatra. Always did. I grew up to the sound of Sinatra’s Voice. Her music I heard. When I listen I am her. And when I become obsessed She is me. Now I’m my daughter’s father And I love Bob Dylan, though my father
Said he couldn’t sing. I played his music Anyway. And some would say I’m obsessed But I really like his songs. Always did. If you hang around me you’ll listen Too. I play Dylan's songs like Mom played Sinatra’s Though no Nobel laureate Sinatra’s Voice is everywhere. Even The Godfather Has a character based on him. Listen I can’t think of any other music More influential. But what Dylan did Turned music into literature. Obsessed With Dylan’s sound I am just as obsessed With the man’s words. Not even Sinatra’s Will be remembered. But the way he did Sing still resides in me. As a father Hereditary influence in music Remains, as well. My daughter would listen To Dylan with me but now won’t listen To anything but who she is obsessed With. Her inherited love for music Came from me. I listened to Sinatra’s Like she listened to what her father Played. And I preferred Dylan. Always did. Growing up to the sound of Dylan did Its damage. Her obsession to listen To Harry Styles is the mark her father Made through nurture and nature in obsessed listening to Dylan (like Sinatra’s Voice in my head), she chose her own music As I did after hearing Sinatra’s. When she listens like her father she is me When she's obsessed with Harry I am her. CommentsComments are closed.
