Nice to see a father doing something great with his kids instead of giving them a video game and walking away

#(removed comment) kid can't sing?? that's not the point..
it's just a heartwarming video of a father and his little daughter bonding. they're just having a good time ![]()
i loved the guys whistle. pretty hard to keep the tune whistling that way. Also the kid always on the right tune. never goes off-pitch. assuming she's around 5, pretty impressive =)
nice song too. cuteness overload. ![]()

Stressed out of proportion?, watch this video is impossible to finish it with a big smile on your face.

#11 Actually, they use the YouTube account "realitychangers" (http://www.youtube.com/user/realitychangers).
The story goes: They uploaded the song for fun, and Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros Acoustic (who originally made the song) linked to their cover song (called "Home"
, which in turn gave them YouTube stardom and lead to them being on Ellen and other talk shows.
How cool was that! Great to see a father-daughter connection like this. I hope to have something really special with my future child/children. They will have music in their lives from day dot for sure ..

#10 & #11 Yes, he is a lefty that just flipped the guitar over without re-stringing it for left hand. I've met a couple of people that learned that way over the years. You should check out Jimmy Haslip, the bass player for the Screaming Yellowjackets. He's a top shelf jazz musician that plays with his strings that way.
What I really like about this clip is this, that man is whistling and singing a song (with his lovely daughter) while accompanying himself on a musical instrument. No sampled tracks, no overdubs, no electronic wizardry whatsoever. I have seen way to many so called "music stars" that could not do that, even if you held a gun to their head.

OMG that's adorable. 1:50 when she looks up and says "One day i'm gonna whistle?" This is beautiful ![]()

Sorry, the little sweety's voice is just irritating for me. Although I'm glad that they take their time to do this kind of stuff together.
Maybe in a couple of years she will be a great singer. Then I'd like to hear this song again.

This is awesome. I love how her arm rests on his. They are close.
I've seen similar things to this in the YMCA's Y-Princesses and Y-Guides Programs.
Dads, you want to spend quality time with your daughters and/or sons, look up a YMCA near you and inquire about their Parent/Child programs.
You'll never regret it. I'm glad I did!
