What really moves us, beyond the wonderful lyrics, is the the fact that the song was inspired by Alastair's own five-year-old daughter, Clio, who was diagnosed with Leukemia. Thus, the subtitle of the album, Songs for the World's Bravest Kids. In fact, Clio co-wrote the entire album with her father and this one is particularly a gem for a day like Father's Day. The song is not maudlin or treacly-- just soulful and beautiful. It also puts a lot in perspective. Alastair Moock song for Father's Day Home When I Hold You also features the beautiful voice of folk singer and musician Aoife O'Donovan. Their voices together make for a very tender bedtime song tonight or any night. And a beautiful reminder of just how special and strong that father-child bond can be.
