00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: You say you found yesterday the saddest song in the

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: world is it? Andy by Donnie Parton. I defy any

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: human being not to start balling their eyes out during that.

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: I haven't heard that song, but I'm afraid this song

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: that I suddenly heard out of nowhere yesterday will throw

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: shade all over that for sure. Patsy, are you familiar

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: with the Abba song slipping through my fingers?

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Ah, I don't even. I can't. With the daughter growing up,

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: I can't even. I can't even hear it.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: Well, I wish i'd spoken to you yesterday before my

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: daughter's graduation, so I think I told you yes. So

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: it was my seventeen year old daughter. She's s in

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: the last few weeks of year twelve and it was

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: a graduation yesterday, so already a very emotional day with us.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: Was my twenty year old daughter two years ago we

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: saw her graduating. She's now left home. She's second year

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 2: at University of Melbourne, so already a lot going on.

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: This is our last kid going through the school system,

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: so a very big day in my family, A lot

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: of big emotions to my seventeen year old daughter Lois.

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: It was her big graduation and I.

23
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Knew that she was going to be singing at it,

24
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: which is an amazing on her, and so I was

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: already just really excited looking forward to seeing my daughter,

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: saying I love hearing a sing and then just before

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: I said, oh, by the way, you haven't actually told

28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: me what is a song you're singing? And I just

29
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: thought it would be a nice up one while they

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: played this video, and she goes, oh, it's an Abba

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: song slipping through my fingers, and I didn't think that

32
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: I needed to be aware of.

33
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: What it was. I thought, this is being us up

34
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: one for the mums and dads, and a song.

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: It's going to be a copy Fernando something like that. Patsy,

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: I've never heard this Abba song, so pats imagine then

37
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: when I see my daughter, I'm already bit emotional, like, oh, great,

38
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: she's going to sing, And then I hear the saddest

39
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: song in the world, Patsy.

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: It's about a girl leaving home.

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I know she's a young woman now and she doesn't

42
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: need her mummy or daddy, and I when I hear it,

43
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: don't worry. I've got a lump in my throat as

44
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: you're talking about it.

45
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: But perhaps imagine me sat there right so my wife

46
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: doesn't isn't really listening to a song.

47
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: She's filming, un't aught to doing it. She's like looking

48
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 3: at me.

49
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: She's surprised, startled by the fact I'm shaking, crying the

50
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: limits the opening line. School school bag in hand. She

51
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: leaves home in the early morning, waving goodbye with an

52
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: absent minded smile. I watched her go with a surge

53
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: of that well known sadness. I have to sit down

54
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: for a while, and I think you've got to be

55
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: kidding me. Why can't they just do a nice upsong

56
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: that feeling I'm losing her forever?

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: Have I listen to this? This is your daughter singing

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: it to you at a graduation hand She leaves home.

59
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry this was too much for her yesterday.

60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: There should have been a warning. I'm sitting there like

61
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: my I almost want to put my fingers in my ears.

62
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: A watch with a such a.

63
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: Teacher should have and said, hey, listen, this is what

64
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: the song's about.

65
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: Get ready.

66
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: And my daughter knew where my wife and I were,

67
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: so she's looking her ass singing it to us, and

68
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh my, does she know the hour in

69
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: the song? Slipping through my fingers all the time. I

70
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: tried to capture every minute, the feeling in it, slipping

71
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: fingers through my all the time. Then two other kids,

72
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: two other girls start singing, her doing the chorus, somethinking

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: I am done.

74
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: My wife is still feeling going. She's singing so well.

75
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, when you play us back tomorrow, it's gonna

76
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: be like a double PRIs punch to the heart. And
