swim through the fires to stay in this world

I am very fond of that song, though this is the first time I've seen the video for it (ditto the song that's the suibject of the post). Another thing I've noticed is that songs by male artists who have daughters, though often having a paternalistic feel, lean more towards stating that the father will always be there for the daughter, no matter what happens in life. A lot still have an underlying paternalistic vibe where it seems that mistakes wouldn't have been made if she'd listened to her father (but that's frequently true regarding both parentsd in fiction, and, well, kids would get in a lot less trouble if they listened to their parents sometimes) but are generally much healthier and are more likely to portray the daughters as people than as objects to be passed from one man to another, or requiring a caretaker.
