Lost Daughter from Take Flight by The Celestophones

Written in either late 1998-99 or the early 2000s (my memory’s fuzzy on that), Lost Daughter is about a 45 year old man who discovers that he has a 16 year old daughter from a fling that he had all that time ago and the hurt that he feels as a result of not knowing about her. The song is purely fiction, as I like to come up with interesting song material. The anthemic feel to the music really underlines the emotional impact that this news has had on him. I might’ve been channeling the British pop-punk band The Buzzcocks when writing the music, though possibly the late 70s era of Elvis Costello & The Attractions as well. Lost Daughter is one of the songs that I had in mind the most when wanting to do this album.

Sean Peever is one of the must-see performers on the Toronto singer-songwriter scene. From folk-rock to soul to country to rocksteady, his willingness to serve the song first & foremost results in a voice that can be lending a soulful urgency to one song while singing with grace and delicacy on another, combined with a fleet fingerpicking/energetic strumming guitar style.
