Loudon Wainwright III - Daughter



I like this song because it displays a real joy in fatherhood. Given Wainwright's very public disputes with some of his children, I like because it shows just how complicated these things are. It's real possible to be a good father and a bad father simultaneously. Or a bad father while trying to be a good one. It will be know to most as the song that plays over the closing credits of knocked up, and like that film, is humorous and emotional all at the same time.
