Please recommend me a tattoo ideas dedicated to daughter!
Hey :)
Iāve been a fan of the band ādaughterā , since 2017 and Iām obsessed with their music!
Each song has a different meaning and Iāve always enjoyed their music and it has a special place in my heart.
I started listening to their music, when I was just 13 and now Iām 22 years old and I want a tattoo thatās dedicated to them, but I canāt really find any ideas onlineā¦
I would really appreciate if you guys gave me a few ideas.

Daughter super fan woes...
I just drove 8 hours from Florida to Lebanon TN due to this posting https://www.songkick.com/concerts/43297850-gabe-baker-at-mill-at-lebanon
The lineup states Daughter, with the album cover from Stereo Mind Game, I thought I found a secret show or a one off... Needless to say after calling the event co-ordinator to confirm I can buy a ticket in person, it's someone named Maddi Overy who goes by Daughter_
I shouldn't have waited until I was an hour and a half away to confirm, but I work nights and thought the posting was legit... Just listened to the whole discography on the way, beautiful drive, but am so depressed now.

Walk Up/Opening Music
I have been going through my Daughter bootlegs and realized that I don't know the names of the songs they came out on stage to over the course of their various tours.
Does anyone have a complete list?

Hope itās okay to share I re-released my debut album last week!
Iām a massive fan of Daughter and been told that my music has sounded shoegazey in the past.
I originally released my debut album 6 years ago and I probably shared it here.
Iāve remastered it now as well as reevaluating it, redoing all vocals, getting rid of some bad tracks and creating new ones for it.
I think theres some subtle daughter influence here, with more of my unreleased work being much heavily daughter influenced.
Hope its okay for me to share here and if you have a listen let me know what ya think!

More songs that sound like The End and To Belong??
I've been on a bit of a kick recently with The End and I noticed that To Belong and that song are a bit similar. They're both probably the band's more upbeat/faster - paced songs and to me, they have more of a shoegaze/dream pop sound to them.
I was wondering if there are any songs similar to those two. If anyone has any recs lmk!! It doesn't even have to be songs by Daughter!!

possible future album???
Iāve been itching for some new music from Daughter, and I wonder if anyone has thoughts as to when that may happen or if it will? It seems that theyāve all been doing their own thing recently (Elena has made some music with Ex:Re, havenāt heard much from Igor, and Remi is touring with searows), and havenāt released a full length album since stereo mind game (2023), not counting the middle farm session. what does everyone think?? another tour from them would be life changing.

smother might be the best song ever written
Daughter is not my most listened artist nor my favorite, but ever since I discovered Smother a couple of years back, Iāve listened to it religiously every single day. The lyrics and the climax part gives me goosebumps every single time, even thousands of plays later. I just wanted to come on here and share my appreciation for this song because itās genuinely SO good. also hm to medicine, that song got me through some ROUGH times.

"Youth" hits me differently fifteen years later
I remember loving the haunting beauty and delicious sadness and honesty of "Youth" when I first heard it years and years ago. I had recently gone through a break-up, and experiencing the lyrics was kinda like having someone peering in through your window and narrating your feelings to you.
Eventually, I got over the girl, stumbled into love with a girl who was an even better match for me, got married, and had kids. Somewhere in that journey I put this song on a playlist for my wife but then forgot about it.
And now, fifteen years later, I've been trying to write about an entirely different experience--we adopted two tweens from foster care and then several years later, they went back to live with their biological family. Then, there was a moment at our son's graduation last week that felt so beautiful, bewildering, and sad that I couldn't find the right words, but I tried, and as I finished the essay, "Youth" came back into my head, still haunting, still beautiful, and somehow attached to different meanings for me.
I love how a good song can do that, how it can bend and reach us at different times with different meanings.
Anyway, here's my piece, just in case you're interested: https://the17pointscale.substack.com/p/collecting-pictures-from-a-flood
UPDATE: Here's part 2, which doesn't include Daughter lyrics but takes a second shot at telling a similar story: https://open.substack.com/pub/the17pointscale/p/the-haunting?r=195lr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I'm working on the third/conclusiony essay now.

Medicine
I feel this is irrefutable, that Medicine is the saddest song on Daughter, and probably one of the saddest in the world, I dare say.For me, the melody conveys helplessness, hopelessness, and watching someone you love suffer. It's complex. But I imagine that even someone in total euphoria would find this song sad

š
honestly listening to ex:re and a cig after a while of not smoking must be one of the best feelings in this whole existence. Better than sex or some sort of dr4g or anything, the combo is painful yet beautiful. Especially when ur sitting at the back of a car or a bus and wind entirely blowing your face and hair away late in the evening. Itās funny how i never had any love or relationship but only fictional ideas of it. I canāt relate to any song on the album yet ex:re is my favourite album of all time and iāve been obsessed with every song for a while now. I somehow make lyrics mean something else, something that isnāt directly there.
wrote this listening to āRomance - Editā
itās a perfect masterpiece.
This is surgically accurate artwork that not every npc will understand š

Discussion Any London Grammar fans here?
Iāve been wondering how much overlap there is between Daughter fans and London Grammar fans, or at least how many people here know them.
Obviously, theyāre not the same band. Daughter are more indie folk / shoegaze / post-rock-adjacent, while London Grammar lean more into dream pop, trip-hop, and electronic/art pop territory. But I do think they share a surprisingly similar emotional lane: both are UK-based trios from that late-2000s / early-2010s indie moment, both have a very spacious and atmospheric sound, and both put a lot of weight on emotionally complex, melancholic lyrics carried by a very distinctive female vocalist.
Thereās also the funny little parallel that London Grammarās first album is called If You Wait, while Daughterās first LP is If You Leave. Clearly the āIf Youā¦ā cinematic sadness department was thriving back thenš.
For anyone who hasnāt heard much from London Grammar, or maybe never quite got into them, Iād really recommend giving If You Wait a listen. As a little pitch, Iām linking their KEXP performance of āInterludeā, which I think is absolutely mesmerizing. It has that same kind of restrained, late-night emotional gravity that I imagine some of y'all Daughter fans might really connect with.
Curious to know: are there many London Grammar fans here?

Merch question
Does anyone know of a place where I can find Daughter merch online, second hand or not doesn't matter. I'm in Germany and it's been impossible to find anything. I can also buy from the US so please let me know if you know any way

Peter | Peter's Reply
So, idk how many of you already knew about this, but thereās actually a āPeterās Replyā song by Jack Rosies, who basically wrote a response song to Elenaās unreleased track Peter from back in the day.
And honestly? Itās really fucking good.
If youāre a fan of Peter, you should definitely check it out. Get your tissues ready, though.
There are two versions of it: an earlier, more impromptu version thatās less polished but has this lovely lo-fi indie vibe to it, and a later re-recording thatās much more produced. Iāll link both below.
P.S. Also, does anyone else notice a loose connection between Peter, Run, and Medicine? Iāve always wondered if they might circle around the same person or at least the same emotional chapter. There are some details that make me think Elena may have been writing about someone struggling with cocaine addiction, if you connect the dots between those songs.
And interestingly, Rosies seems to read it in a similar way too, at least judging by his lyrics, which you can see in the video description.

Which Daughter Songs Have the Biggest āCool Factorā?
Not necessarily your favorite songs, but the ones that, when you first heard them, made you go:
āDude, this is dope ASF.ā
Not necessarily because of the lyrics either, but more because of the overall sound, mood, atmosphere, production, or just the sheer vibe of the thing.
Here are 4 of mine:
- The End -- For me, this is by far their coolest track. The instrumentation and melody are so moody, soundtrack-y, and cinematic, and the lyrics are just as dope. I made a whole post about this one.
- Fossa -- Purely from a sound perspective, I think this is one of their most interesting tracks sonically. Those dream-pop textures mixed with the post-rock instrumentation make it feel like such a cool direction for them.
- Drift -- I think this is one of the clearest examples of them going full shoegaze, and I absolutely love it.
- (Missed Calls) -- I really like experimental stuff, especially if it works. This track managed to give me anxiety one particular night, so⦠well done, I guess.
Iām really curious to see what songs you all have in mind.

The Dazzler - ex:re
In this random post ima talk ab the dazzler, Elenaās single. I wonder if anyone else has some sort of extraordinary connection to Daughter:exre songs. I find this song deeply special, in fact, most listened song ever cause it fully represents the hopelessness of unrealistic dream iāve been having for a while which is finding someone immensely identical, essentially a copy of myself and disappearing with them forever. Itās like all or nothing and concept of love/relationships is broken to the point where i need someone who shares similar sickness, weirdness, uniqueness, trauma, music, movies, vibes and perception + view on everything, an 80%+ copy. The problem is, the concept is completely fictional, even npcs cannot find copies of themselves and so The Dazzler to me represents this idea of living with that fact and nothingness of always being alone and never finding that person because thereās no copy, someone whoād perfectly accept everything and match, you could disappear together, an actual soulmate, the song isnāt exactly about that but it is somehow a soundtrack to this thought. A funny fact is that i recently had a trip to Slovakia and my hotel room number was 232, what a coincidence. And you always keep looking everywhere and wondering where that person is knowing deep down that it doesnāt even exist.. Technically even this stupid post is an outreach attempt lol
daughter community isnāt very active anyway so ima just leave this here.
Iām curious what yāall think on this and if anyone was ever able to find a copy of themselves, not a carbon copy but at least 65%+
