  • Never Grow Up (Taylor Swift Cover) – from a Dads perspective

    Posted by Dzuy N on December 7, 2024 at 8:47 pm

    i’ve spent months visualizing how to transform this song to be from my own perspective of seeing my daughter grow up. time has just flown by and i wanted to make something special for her, but to also document and give myself a constant reminder of how beautiful life is, and to treasure the time we are here. i hope you enjoy it!

    the guitar is a 2013 martin custom shop adi/cocobolo 000.

    @zeebow (Dzuy), Taylor Swift’s songs are a challenge but you certainly made it your own. As a dad of a daughter the sediment of “never grow up” rings true for me as well. Adding the photographs from over the years added context to the lasting affection a father has from the very first time one holds his baby girl to the most recent hug. Time passes much too quickly – my daughter is 39! A very nice tribute to your young lady.

      Sorry for the late reply, I was on a trip. Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me. Wow, I haven’t even reached that next phase of life w/ her, and already my younger kids are asking me if I think her current boyfriend will beat done lol. Thank you for watching the video and the amazing comment!

    Quality and heartfelt rendition. This is a performance of love. Thanks for plucking our heart strings with it. I have two grandkids who are Seniors this year and now there are tears in my eyes.

      Appreciate it. I’m so happy you enjoyed it, this has been countless hours of practice and envisioning how to portray it visually. I’ve been wanting to make a video for her for years, and was always waiting for the “right” song!
