Currently listening to this song as I nurse our newborn to remind myself that this stage isn’t permanent, that it’s going to fly by and that we’re going to miss these days. This song helps me feel gratitude for the stage we are in. ❤
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 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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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!
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 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
hope all is well with you and ur family. was listening to leudecke in my daughter's bed after she fell asleep. googled his concert dates dreaming of a chance to get out with my wife. this man is truly a treasure, cheers
+Nathan Macintosh Me too. My wife and I are going to have a son this August. When I heard this song, it brought tears to my eyes thinking of what's to come.
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".
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.
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!

+Coffee Grace I've got little kids right now. This damn song makes me cry every time I hear it! I've never been accused of being a wuss either...
@@russellhaley6901 A man becomes a father when he cries for his kids.
@@russellhaley6901 I cant get through it without crying. Even on the 10,000 time through.

I"m a new fan by of Old Man Luedecke! I'm 64, with 1 grandson and another on the way.
Thank you very much for finding it!
Congrats!

But in a way, you have. :)
Well said!
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

It's brutal, for sure.

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

Watching this while my 9 month old sleeps in my lap. I could put him down but these moments won't last forever ❤️
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.
Beautiful, I love this Chris, oh my how I miss Nova Scotia
jaysus I cry every time I hear this song
Hard not to get teary eyed listening to this while holding your 12 day old!
My 5 year old just told me that some frogs can be both boys and girls.
What are ya thinking now ? 6 years later, time flies
The sweetest song ever.
I heard this today on CBC

+maxfedor1 my daughter is now six months old and she is going strong we are out enjoying the spring day and this song is still on her playlist
Nathan McIntosh don't blink and remember your going to miss that
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.
Ohhh my heart aches and smiles with this song ❤❤
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
I'm a father and grandfather;too true, and hits me every time
Tim O'Brien is a genius. A great combination of talents. A wonderful song.
Great song, I've got a 3 month old son. Some dust flew in my eye when I was listening just now...

My son just moved into his own place. So this is really hitting home for me.
Man this song is incredible.
Great song and so true.
Thanks CBC, knocks me socks right off. Great song....
Beautiful
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.

Too true. You made everlasting art being honest. Perfect.
This is going to be an over-the-top hit. Love it!

Excited to see you play at Woodford this year off the back of your small halls tour!
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.
Les paroles résonnent de vérité nostalgique
Awesome! hope you are well, Chris!

It goes sooooo fast.
I'm sorry Mom. I love you. I didn't mean to grow up quite so fast.
I can just imagine Loudon Wainwright III doing this one.
Do You Remember?
Who is the drummer in the video. He looks a lot like Chad Brownlee. Could it be him?
My 70+ year old aunt sent this to me.....I.....I think she’s cooler than me...🤣
Shout out to an artist who replies to every single comment!
