I’m a first daughter in an Asian family, and its tough, to be honest. I was mistreated far from my brother, I got mental issues which almost lead me to sucide. My mom was very sexist but that doesn’t mean I don’t love her, but, its impossible to expect any encouragement or any mental cares from her. Listening to this song feels like a hug from an imaginary mother, which i appreciated so much. Thank you, honestly, for this song❤️
I’m the first daughter in an Irish American family. My mother was sexist, my father misogynistic, and now at 38, I feel like I’m beaten down. And I just want a mother. A loving encouraging mother. Thank you Lzzy for this song. I hope I make it through. ❤️❤️❤️
Bless your hearts.. I wish that I could give two you a hug.. I have 3 daughters and could never imagine them feeling this way about me.. I will whisper a prayer for you, for your heart to heal and for your mind.. and for you to find some peace in your life...
Somehow, I didn't know this song existed until today. I needed this; my teenager daughter has recently been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, and feeling worthless and alone. This song perfectly captures everything that I've been trying to communicate to her for the last week. I was literally in tears by the time this song was over.
Same here. Teenage years suck, and 2020 has been a shit storm. I hope your daughter can see that she is loved and meant to be here! My daughter is 16 and had a rough go in school because she filled out quicker and the boys noticed 😞 this song is exactly what I was telling her then and still tell her now. My most important rule of life to teach her is to be self sufficient. Make sure she can take care of herself with or without a partner. I pray that our girls know they are not in this alone. 💜💚
Sending you all love and strength!♡ Patience and acceptance of the child is much needed...least was for me as a teen going through the similar situations. Never lie to your children. Best policy imo.
ive been feeling like how your daughter is and my mom yells at me saying i choose to be like that and i have no right feeling like that but then sends me this and im just confused
My mom had 4 daughters and she always said to us girls pretty much what this song says. She taught us so much, sacrificed more than we will ever know. She is 77 and has end stage heart failure and my oldest sister and I care for. she asks me to play this song for her at least once a day. She very much believes in the message of this song. i want to thank Halestorm for such a beautiful song.And for happiness it brings to my Mom.
Will pray for your mother. She has such loving children looking after her. A Mother's Blessing is Uniquely so Special. May God grant her a Peace, Calm and Comfort and Paradise. Her Smile to reign in your Hearts and Memory, that her LoVe may flow from Generation to Generation, never ending.
❤️Lyrics. Dear daughter Hold your head up high There's a world outside that's passing by Dear daughter Never lose yourself Remember that you're like nobody else Life throws you in to the unknown And you feel like you're out there all alone These are words that every girl Should have a chance to hear There will be love, there will be pain There will be hope, there will be fear And through it all year after year Stand or fall I will be right here for you Dear daughter Don't worry about those stupid girls If they try to bring you down It's 'cause they're scared and insecure Dear daughter Don't change for any man Even if he promises the stars And takes you by the hand Life throws you into the unknown And you feel like you're out there all alone These are words that every girl Should have a chance to hear There will be love, there will be pain There will be hope, there will be fear And through it all year after year Stand or fall I will be right here for you Dear daughter I was just like you And just like me you're gonna make it through These are words that every girl Should have a chance to hear There will be love, there will be pain There will be hope, there will be fear And through it all year after year Stand or fall I will be right here And after all I will be be right here for you
When my husband passed away our daughters carried his coffin to this song, that was 3 years ago and I still cry listening to this song my babies were so broken that day. Thank you lzzy your song gave my babies strength and honor that day
This hits my heart hard for you and your daughters cause my little girls only 12 and her father died last year. It's been tough.....God bless you and your family 💙💛💚💜
I'm a mother of 5, and I am struggling to stay alive for my babies. I was told 4 years ago I have long cancer and there is nothing more now that they can do to help me. Now we're just waiting, but this song gave me hope for. y oldest daughter whom is 18. I have dedicated it to her for after my time here expires. I just hope understands my message to her. Ty for the wmz8ng voice and beautiful words. Never give up and always fight the fight no matter what!
Holy shit this comment went from 20 to 1 million in like 5 words. I hope you're now doing alright. I meant no offense in this reply if there is any. Again, I hope you are doing alright now. You are doing a great job. Keep rocking till the end!
Omg I love your story I wish you the best of life left here on earth I am wanting more than anything for halestorm to see this #halestorm @Lucyhale give this woman more hope that you are a guardian angel through your music you inspire and help many woman in this world. You're truly an amazing artist and woman we thank you and bless this woman @bobbiefeltner #cbs #thetalk @Sherylunderwood @worldwide #worldwide #famous #givehope
Hold on , dear fellow mother. Tell them you love them every so often. I ask that your lungs may receive life again and function normal. Refuse to give up. Expect a good report, a miracle.
I love this Song ! I played it for My Daughter after her 3rd brain surgery! She's healthy now , seizure free for 3 years ,& very smart ! Thank God & Good job #Halestorm 👏 Amazing Song 🎵
My daughter is going through a tough time & I am powerless against what she’s going through. All I can do is send this song to her, thank you for that Lzzy.
How did I not find this song until today?! Omgggg I’m so in love with it already. My baby girl just started high school and she is the absolute love of my life.. I can’t wait for her to hear this 💗
This song always makes me cry. Though I'm a boy. I played this for my best friend who lost her mother to breast cancer when she was 3. She plays this song everyday and it makes her smile and cry every time. Thank you, Halestorm. For being my childhood heros as well as my friend's. Thank you, Lzzy, Arejay, Joe, and Josh. I love you guys. Keep the mayhem rockin, Mz. Hyde!!
I dedicated this song to my now 20 year baby girl, after we both endured serious trauma. I always 😢 A reminder we survive, until we learned how to thrive again. Thank you Halestorm, so much. 🥀🌻
I often listen to this song. Because I believe it’s the song the lyrics my mom would tell me if she cared about me. I had to leave my mom because she chose drugs over her own kid. I miss and love her dearly, I know the mom I used to know and love is still in there. But she’s too far gone it seems. I haven’t spoken to her in 3 years and I’m afraid to. I think about her more and more each day. I am adopted some people say I was chosen but I think I was chosen by the wrong mother. But I am forever thankful for my dad ❤
This song was released the very same year I lost my mother. It's inevitable to think about her whenever I hear this song. Words that she'd probably tell me if she had the chance. Love the song and will always have a special meaning to me.
Of course! And as a singer myself I'm really glad I can look up to such strong and amazing role models like you! Thank you for being and inspiration and for such beautiful lyrics
For some reason I feel (as a father of a baby girl) this is also a very father-daughter song. Cause I always thought most of these words, and I'd like to teach each one to my daughter Thank you Lizz
I sang it to my daughter when she was sleeping once. I grabbed her hand and quietly sang every lyric to this song to her. Pathetic but hey, that's me. Haha :)
@@nathanknipmeyer2189 not pathetic very sweet and amazing. I wish my father did something even a quarter as sweet as this to show that I was worth it not worthless and that I mattered. Keep singing to your baby girl. It may seem like it will never matter but that one thing makes all the difference in how she sees herself and the kind of person she becomes. It also reflects in how she sees she's supposed to be treated by significant others.
I almost cried at the ending, when she meets the guys of the band and they walk together towards stage. Beautiful ending. Loved it, the vid is amazing.
Great job Lizzy! I've got a young daughter and I will be showing this to her as soon as I get home. As a dad of a little girl, this hits me right in the feels. Well done!
My stepmom sent me this, it’s been nearly 6 years since my mom passed away and she’s trying her best to be here for me. I know it’s difficult having a child basically thrown at you with emotional baggage but she’s handling it and she hasn’t given up on me yet and I’m really glad I have her even if it’s hard sometimes
I am a mother of three daughters. Im so blessed to have them in my life. I sent this to my oldest and my middle daughter. They r 16 and 14. I just hope they listen to the words and play this when the world gives them shit and know im here no matter what
Again, I came to this party late. I just discovered Halestorm. I'm loving their music. All of it. This song hit an emotion. Beautiful song, wonderful message.
@@chrisbooth478 working on listening to everything. I believe they will be playing in Huntsville September 21st. I'm thinking about that too. My problem is, I'm a Rocker with an AARP card! Lol, they may not let a 62 yo in!
Such a great song and message - for both daughers and sons. If you want to be an a great parent, include this message in how to treat your kids and get them ready for the real world. *BAM* .. right in the feels. Stupid onions.
For a lifetime I tried to gain appreciation from the one person who should have loved me no matter what. Yet I was never enough for her. My mother taught me what I didn’t wand be for my kids. So today I sent this song to my daughter. I want her to know that the hurt ended with me and that I will always be there for her and her brother. They were my sunshine in a world full of rain.
I lost my mother at 25. I took on the role of raising my sister, who was only 11 at the time and autistic, on the spectrum. Mom always supported me and I felt my sister got cheated that when she passed. The moment I heard this song it screamed my mother and what shed have said to her. To this day. My sister is turning 21 in a month and a half and damn she's come so far. Mom would be proud I know and this one still screams my sister and her.
My mom sent me this song not very long ago. She passed away 3 weeks ago and it's getting me through so much right now. Words can't even explain. I miss you momma and I love you so much 💕
To all girls: listen to this song and listen to the lyrics because whether you have a mum or you don't this song is so important so listen to mama Lzzy, because she sings truthful words. You are important in this world❤
I made my 18 year old daughter listen to it this year. She graduates from high school in June. She is and always will be the biggest part of my world (as with my son). She is so nervous about life and this song helps me tell her she is special and she will never face this world alone. Thank you! I love this song!
I’m 60 years old and I listen to halestorm every day, I have 3 daughters and when I listen to this song i wish i was the one singing it to them,,keep on rocking
I don't like all of their songs. But i like this one and "I am the fire" a lot. In fact I think "I am the fire" is one of the best songs ever written about the spirit of us as individuals. This song could have just as easily been called "Dear Sons and Daughters", as it is a good message for all.
So many thoughtful daughters have shown this video to their moms. I am truly blessed and thankful my firstborn baby girl shared with this mom. I am awestruck. Finally and thankfully, a female singing her heart out, knows how very much these words truly mean to females struggling with so many issues, perceptions from every direction and too many choices bombarding us. Love yourself for who you are, be happy with yourself first! Happiness is state of mind and comes from within, find your happiness within. Be mindful, think before acting. What we say and do is part of who we become. Take time. Choose wisely ladies and remember we get one chance. YOLO You Only Live Once!
Happy National Daughters Day 2022 I dedicated this song to my daughters today. Such a beautiful ballad that says so much. It gives me all kinds of feels. No matter the relationship with your daughter be there for them. Make yourself open to receive their joy, pain, and fear. For the daughters no longer here, light a candle and remember the good times. Halestorm captures that sentiment beautifully.
This song means so much to me to give to my middle daughter. Her and I are estranged right now. So painful.... I want her to know she is beautiful, strong, smart, capable, and I will always believe in her and be here for her.
I have a daughter that I don't get to see much, and everytime I hear this song or watch the video I immediately think of her. This song actually brings me to tears sometimes when I am thinking about her.
I am a red headed Indian. My mother was amazing, unfortunately I didn't realize how strong she made me til after I was alone,I lost my mother to cancer a year ago . And being a mother now I understand the sacrifice and pain a mother goes through, with out asking for anything in return I love you mom forever and always ❤ thank you for preparing me. I wouldn't be here strong and free without you on my side. I pray you are at peace. Thank you mom for everything . My only regret is I didn't see it sooner
This song shows why halestorm is such a so good and awesome band. They can do Rock Songs without a problem. And they make emotional and great ballads too. ❤
I listened to this song almost everyday throughout my last pregnancy! The first time I heard it was in January 2018, I bawled like a baby (at the time I only had boys, 3 to be exact) a month later I found out I was pregnant!!! And she was our girl!!! Now I know why this song made me cry so much when I first heard it! It was our baby girl telling me she was there! (And my raging hormones lol) Our daughter is now 6 months old and I play this song for her when ever she is cranky or sad, or like today sick :-( but everytime as soon as this song comes on she is quite and still and autimatically at peace!!! Never knew a song could have so much power in so many different ways!!!
I've always been a huge Halestorm fan, but this song took a more important sense this week when my mom passed away. I'm only 18 and the futur is unclear, but she taught me everything i should know to be a good and happy person. Thank you Halestorm for writing such a powerful song, it helps me staying strong!
Thank you Halestorm. Always inspiring. Every time I listen to this song I think about my daughter when she was in picu fighting for her life. Thanks for making me go through it.
Thanks. I needed This. I've lost two of my 4 daughters in the last 10 yrs. They're in a better place now. The two I have left are my world. I have no boys. I'm blessed man.. I'm blessed. Girls are awesome!!
I know it's been 2 years since your comment but I'm so very sorry for your loss. ❤ Time doesn't make it easier I know that. One day you will be reunited with them
My dad sent me this last night just before i went to sleep, only getting to listen to it this morning and i'm crying. Thank you for making this song a way for my dad to communicate with me in a way i know he struggles to. I LOVE YOU DAD xoxox
I'm a proud father of 2 daughters and beautiful daughter that was brought into my life when I met and married her mom my wife and this means so much ..thank you I have sent this to them all...proud daddy
I'm crying like a baby listening to this my mom was never there for me and I spent most my teen yrs in foster care until I aged out. I desperately needed a mother to tell me these things I've had to learn all this on my own and its been tremendously hard but one things for sure my daughter will hear all this from me because I will be there to guide her and show her how to believe in herself the way I believe in her I will be the mother I needed as a child for my daughter ❤
I wanna get this tattooed for my mother in the future. "Dear mother, I am just like you and just like you I'm gonna make it trough" because me and my mom have been trough so much together but still have beautifull moments like when we were at the Halestorm concert in Utrecht (the Netherlands) in 2015. When you guys visit again I'm gonna make sure I have V.I.P. Tickets so I can get Lzzy's autograph so I can get that incorperated in the tattoo ❤️
I am a daughter to the world. I have had so much emotions to deal with. I listen to most of your songs. They have helped me. I would recommend. And yes she deserves to be rated infinitely. Thanks halestorm! :)
I have a stepdaughter who I love like my own and this song is for her❤ I love you Faye , daddy and I will always fight for you and bring you home to us and give you the life you deserve and need .
I’ve been having trouble standing up to my dad (no, he doesn’t abuse me but he never listens) lately. I had tried today because I was tired of the constant lectures and never letting anything go, he didn’t listen. I’m also going into freshman year of high school, already having enough stress on me. My mom had just sent this to me, wanting me to listen to it and I’m thankful for her- Mom, if you ever read this I love you and I’m glad I have someone to turn to
I have three daughters and I am raising them to believe that they can do anything that they put their minds to, and that you will always have haters but they don't matter the only thing that matters is how much me and their dad loves them. And that they don't need other people's approval to be happy. To only live their life for themselves no one else.
I have 3 girls this song is our fight song right now. When its feels impossible to reach out your words have made the link so much easier. I struggle to put my love into words but here it is 💜
I clicked on it the very second the notification appeared that there was a new video from halestorm, and it already had 215 views, which means they are doing a damn good job. In other words I knew this song by heart from the very day it came out and, even though I am a guy and it doesn't touch me personally, I sympathize with the message and it sensitivizes me too and it makes me appreciate the message Lzzy sends with this song and the way she does it. It means a great lot to have artists like you, Lzzy!
mylittleblackenedparadise - I don't mesh with Fakebook but my issue with this song is that she says a line in the lyrics that is no different from most other songs with a similar message. That line is: "you're not like anybody else". What these types of lyrics do to young females is it makes them very fucking self absorbed. Songs like this are all about women crying "me, me, me" and I've had enough of the "poor me, little ol' me, everyone look at ME, ME , ME!" It's like the typical whining of the typical socially dysfunctional LIBERAL who protests for acceptance and equality but it's only for THEM, not for anyone else. Although I like Halestorm, I can't say I care much for the message of this song. And no matter what SHE felt her message was, just know that the majority of people who listen to songs and things celebrities say, perceive it their own way.
Phil Maestro I know fenimism often takes a wrong turn in the modern society, but I think the way she puts it in this song is really not offensive or even self-centered. It's just a way of showing support for those girls in need of it.
Rares Zaharia Lefter I think that's the difference between honest encouragement and radical feminism. Everybody mistreats each other at one point or another. Unfortunately, that's human nature. But there are also relative situations where specific people or types of people need specific types of encouragement. And I think the message of this song is an example of that.
My mom put this on my MP3 player when I asked her to put my music on it. I cried like the first twenty times I listened. I'm still getting teary though.
My daughter is 28 and I have given her words of encouragement since she was 7 months old ... always encourage and stand behind your girls ... even if they make a mistake or three ... We are what helps shape them for the world ... Give her strength and love and never let her go even one day without hearing you say "I love you and believe in you!"
Played this for my 6 year old and she goes, "mama, she sang what's in your heart...how does she know that?" And I I just cried and said" yes baby she did. And I think every woman has this in her heart for her daughter so it's easy."
Lizzy, if you're ever to read this - thank you, every time I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes, cause I relate so much to it. My mother never ever said this to me, but if I have a girl some day on my own... I will play this song for her
This song is for my three most beautiful daughters. Never forget I am always here for you. Always follow your heat and remember there is someone up above. Dad loves you too
Ive been singing this song to my daughter since i first heard it. She absolutely loves it! I sing it to her and she falls right to sleep at night time. I swear, im gonna secretly play this song at her wedding one day.♡ i love you babygirl and mama will always be here for you.. no matter what baby.!♡♡
This is the post I’ve been searching for lol. My daughter is getting married in November and was wondering if this song would fit our dance. I’m a rock guy and didn’t really want a country song. So thanks 🙏
This song makes me cry everytime I hear it I have a 9 month old baby girl and though I forget to play it, this will be the song I play for her when shes upset. I never knew my mom, but this will be me and my daughters song
My favorite female rocker since Pat Benatar. Love the fire. But being a single dad of a 7 yo daughter, digging the message behind this softer side of Halestorm as well. Thank you.
This song means so much to me personally. My mother was a Halestorm fan for as long as I can remember. I don't really know anymore, but she still supports my music choices. From June to July last year, my anxiety was at its peak. My father came back into my life because I'd thought he changed, but he turned out just the same as before: abusive and manipulative. He was abusing me each time I went over to his house but I was too scared to really tell my mom what he was doing to me again. After a few times, I told her, and I spent two months going to the gym at least every other night or every night and doing cardio and weight lifting until I could no longer for the night, come home and have a mental breakdown, wake up the next day with worse anxiety and the cycle repeated. At some point, my mental breakdown was so bad that I ended up getting drunk. That next night when a worse mental breakdown hit, mom started playing this song. She begun singing it gently to me as she held me in her lap, rocking me slowly, to calm me down. This song will forever remind me of that heartwarming moment with my mother.
My middle daughter is struggling with some things, I sent her this song… hoping she gains some strength and continues the fight! She is sick an awesome woman.
I have to say my heart breaks for all women who genuinely feel they "need" to hear this song. While it's a great affirmation of their wonderfulness they should be getting this message from loved ones and family. Stay strong, you are wonderful and worth it!
I never really had a mom who supported me and hurt me more than anyone else has in this world. I lost my first daughter to miscarriage almost 10 years ago and I'll be having my rainbow daughter around that 10 year mark. I promise this song means so very much to those of us who just wanna be the moms we never had 💜
I play this song for my 10 year daughter every day, her mom walked away last year and decided that her addiction was more important….i truly hope what hurt and betrayal she has inside will make her a better person/mom down the road for her own children someday…..it breaks my heart that a girl doesn’t have a relationship with their mom
