Mothers and Daughters

Today I felt like brooding a little bit about a song that I have been listening to a little obsessively lately.  John Mayer's Daughters.


Daughters 

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me



Bebe Buell and daughter Liv Tyler


Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too



Colleen Farrington and daughter Diane Lane

Lisa Bonet and daughter Zoe Kravitz


Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made



Demi Moore and daughter Rumer Willis

Lisa-Marie Presley and daughter Riley Keough


So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too




Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson


Susan Sarandon and daughter Eva Amurri

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart



Marcheline Bertrand and daughter Angelina Jolie


Tippi Hedren and her daughter Melanie Griffith and her daughter Dakota Johnson


On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world



Janet Leigh and daughter Jamie Lee Curtis


Pearl Lowe and daughter Daisy Lowe

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too 



Jerry Hall and daughter Elizabeth Jagger

Peggy Lipton and daughter Rashida Jones


Such a great song, I love the live version from Where the Light Is.













Today is the first day of school holidays and I woke up early this morning feeling very unwell... not a good start is it?  Tummy churning, head aching and all I want to do is curl up in a ball in bed and hide... I am doing my best to entertain my girls in between bouts of nausea, this is not a good start - did I say that already?  Wish me luck.


Ciao for now,
