Old Man Luedecke - The Early Days 

This song came on the radio, when my father was driving home from work. He is a mans man, meat and potatoes kind of guy who has worked his whole life. It made him cry.

I Remember that 2am. feeding and changing, did not like it much at the time. I am in my 70s now, and i realize how lucky i was. I Have 3 beautiful healthy children today in their 3os. I Haven't won the lottery yet, but then, maybe i have,

If you think this hits home when your child is young wait till they adults and or parents themselves. Time sure flies when you have kids

This song is honestly the most magical emotional song I could ever need. It says a million things and any parent understands what you aare singing about- This song gets me EVERY TIME and I am so grateful you created it! The video is just beautiful too THANK YOU!

Thoroughly gutted by this one, thank you xo

Ah...just having that discussion with a younger mom and her two. As of last week, no more teenagers home... I have two very polite adult squatters now. I no longer think my problems would be solved with a time machine and couple of condoms, lol! They grow on you, spreading their strong young roots throughout your shit and your personhood. I got through it...now I miss it. Wished their Mom could've seen it.

Thank you for this song. I hear it for the first time on the radio during a rough day... and it made me laugh until I cried (the good kind of cathartic cry). Its both poignantly funny and beautiful.

I'm sorry Mom. I love you. I didn't mean to grow up quite so fast.

heard this on CBC driving home from errands, baby finally asleep in the back and mommy and daddy a little sleep deprived. Well tears rolled down both our cheeks. Thanks for writing an honest, straight and simple and even funny song about parent life.

Absolutely beautiful. I bet me and my wife have played this a hundred times.

I first listened to this when my wife was pregnant and I cried thinking about the baby to come. Then I listened to it after my daughter was born and I cried with gratitude for being in the early days. Then I listened to it when the baby days were gone and the toddler days were upon us. Now my kids are 5 and 8. Parenthood just keeps getting better, like this song.

Hard not to get teary eyed listening to this while holding your 12 day old!

I"m a new fan by of Old Man Luedecke! I'm 64, with 1 grandson and another on the way.

As a father to a 5 month old baby who lives in a different country this made me cry. Every day without my wife and baby breaks my heart. Thank you for this beautiful song

Beautiful, I love this Chris, oh my how I miss Nova Scotia

jaysus I cry every time I hear this song

Watching this while my 9 month old sleeps in my lap. I could put him down but these moments won't last forever ❤️

This song, every time. I could be having a day, rushed all day getting pissed at everything. This song comes on and everything slows down.

I heard this today on CBC I will soon be a new father and I'm really looking forward to listening to this record as the soundtrack as the beginning of a new experience in my life with my wife and our new child thank you for writing such beautiful music

Tim O'Brien is a genius. A great combination of talents. A wonderful song.

Thanks CBC, knocks me socks right off. Great song....

Fantastic! Inspirational! Enjoyable! Romantic! Life affirming.... Wow! Love it :-)

...just beautifully sung and so, so touching...what an amazing gift you have.

Saw you in Pittsburgh a few days ago, it was awesome. Thanks for your great music. Pete Seeger should be proud, despite the gasoline that you burn while driving around making folks happy.

The sweetest song ever.

Ohhh my heart aches and smiles with this song ❤❤

Fantastic song, great sound! The mandolin player was an excellent choice! :)

Too true. You made everlasting art being honest. Perfect.

Heard this song for the first time a couple days after my baby was born, brought tears to my eyes then and has ever since. Great song dude

They're only young once!

Heard this on CBC today. Can totally relate having twin grandsons of our own. As we relish our time with them, realizing how precious these times are and never being able to turn the clock around. New parents...........when times seem endlessly hectic........tell yourself "this is only temporary".

My son just moved into his own place. So this is really hitting home for me.

I can just imagine Loudon Wainwright III doing this one.

Great song! Great to see a NS artist making it!

Talk about a cure for dry eye syndrom..

Do You Remember?

This is going to be an over-the-top hit. Love it!

Les paroles résonnent de vérité nostalgique

Fan fuckin tastic

This one is easily my new favorite, great work :)

A fabulous song.

Man this song is incredible.

It goes sooooo fast.

Great song and so true.

Beautiful

Tremendous! Heard for this wonderful song for the very time today. I’ll do my part to import your music my family & friends. I shared this with my Nephew ,who just had his 2nd baby born this week , & his Dad, my brother in law . Thanks & Blessings!

I first heard this on the CBC a few years ago. Was very influential and likely had something to do with the baby boy who will be here tomorrow.

This So wonderful. Thank you Chris... This brings back such wonderful memory's

My 70+ year old aunt sent this to me.....I.....I think she’s cooler than me...🤣

Great song, I've got a 3 month old son. Some dust flew in my eye when I was listening just now...

Simply Brilliant. I'll see you Monday night at the LSPU St. John's.

Nice song 🙂

Who is the drummer in the video. He looks a lot like Chad Brownlee. Could it be him?

I'm a father and grandfather;too true, and hits me every time

i absolutely love this song, i to play and sing it often, it is so powerful for me on so many levels, thanks Chris!!!!

Awesome! hope you are well, Chris! Marika (Brose)
