The Other End

Daughter → Dad

Father's Day · Lofi

Dad, it's almost one in the morning here and I'm a little homesick — which is usually right when I call, and somehow you always pick up like you just happened to be awake. I don't think I've ever told you what that does for me. Being this far is harder than I expected, but knowing you're there, ready to talk me through whatever, makes the distance feel smaller. You're my steady, even an ocean away. Thank you for always answering, Dad. I love you. Home before you know it.

Song story

Background

Paige is 22 and studying abroad, where the homesickness always hits hardest after midnight. More than once she's called home half-expecting voicemail — and her dad Steven picks up anyway, like he just happened to be awake. For Father's Day she wanted to thank him for being the one she can always reach for, and she said it in a calm lo-fi song.
