I have sent my daughter a song every day since 4 May 2026. Sometimes it is for a story or a theme. Sometimes I am sending songs I love or songs that I think of that I want to share. They are collected in one playlist so she can open them any time.
The songs are one of the ways. There are also audios I record for her, a video every week, and a picture a day. This page is the songs.
The Playlist
The playlist is called Dadau Playlist. Its own description reads “Songs shared from a Daddy to a Daughter… from O’s dad”. It started on 4 May 2026 and a song goes on it every day, so it is longer now than it was when you last looked. The player below plays it as it stands at this moment. The written list further down is rebuilt from Spotify on a schedule, so new songs land there too.
Open the Dadau Playlist on Spotify. The player above plays the playlist as it stands right now, so anything added today is already in it.
How a Song Gets Picked
Sometimes it is for a story or a theme. Sometimes I am sending songs I love or songs that I think of that I want to share.
