Music video by Tonic performing Soldier's Daughter. (C) 1996 Universal Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc. #Tonic #SoldiersDaughter #LemonParade
Way back when Lemon Parade was big, I rescued a wee beagle from a breeding farm. She was full of cancer and only had a few months of freedom and life. She **loved** this song so much and would dance every time I played it. This always makes me sad but happy too. This song gave her such joy. Thank you.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. I have been listening to them for over 15 years. No matter how specific their lyrics get, they leave room for me to interpret them for myself and enjoy them as if they were written for me.
Their music has really held up over all these years. I was deployed several times to Afghanistan and most of us had our own soundtracks to get you through the long nights away from our loved ones. but no one ever really talked about it it was just hard enough worrying about what tomorrow was going to bring. But hey that’s how you get through the SUCK!!
I only knew tonics song "if you could only see " by hearing the song, I KNEW THE SONG JUST DIDN'T REMEMBER WHO SANG THE SONG BUT ONCE IT FIGURED IT OUT I WAS LIKE DUUUHHH, AND YES I'M BEYOND ABSENT MINDED EVER SINCE THIS GODFORSAKEN CAR WRECK I WAS IN AND NO I WASN'T DRIVING I WAS SITTING BACK SEAT CENTER AND BELTED IN WITH ENOUGH SLACK TO LEAN FORWARD TO HEAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SURE ENOUGH I WAS BLESSED WITH SMASHING MY HEAD IN TO THE ROOF WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I WAS ABLE TO DO BEFORE THE WRECK SUCH AS WALK,TALK,EAT AND ,PERSONALHYGEINE (BATHE, TOILET, ETC..😤🤬 🙄..!!)
It's the way he looks at you That says to me This isn't over From the outside looking in You see there's nothing sacred here Nothing sacred You can bend But you can't break For the reasons out of our control You try to make it roll Like a dice away But you say that you're all empowered here This is obviously not clear enough To meYou can bend But you can't break Hey little girl keep dancing Hey little girl keep dancing alone 'Cause there's not enough time in your day To keep you here The soldier's daughter Did your daddy Did your daddy hurt you Did he make you feel bad Did he poison your views With the water he was raised on Oh you father's son says hang on Hang on Hey little girl Keep dancing Hay little girl Keep dancing alone 'Cause there's not enough time in your life To stay here So over the hills he'd climb Just to see her there in time Just to watch the sun shine through her dress The sweet soldier's daughter The sweet soldier's daughter
I've been listening to tonic for as long as I could remember. My dad would always play it in the car wherever we went somewhere and I am forever grateful for this band. They keep my childhood alive.
I remember being a teenager & getting drunk with my pop, listening to this album, & Daddy would make me sing to him. God, I miss those times, and I miss my daddy :'(
One of the best periods of my 58 year life ;Wife pregnant with my first child, loved my job. my alternative band :loved my new City and all the amazing 90s tunes.Shit,I'm glad I remember it all.
as a soldiers daughter this is like MY SONG.......but cheers to all of the soldiers daughters.......a lot of us have lived this song...i know i have.....thats why i keep dancing.............
As a young girl I remember spinning in circles listening to this song in my room. Now that I'm older and reflect on that childhood (or rather it haunts me) this song resonates still.
I have lived in 4 decades of the very best music EVER written and performed (60's 70's 80's and 90's),...but! this band transcends all time...cherish the gift of hearing...it allows you to have the joy of hearing your son/daughter's first laugh/giggle...your wife telling you that she loves you and "welcome home" from a GODLESS country you've been sent to for WAAAAY to many months where the people hate you for the only reason but loving another named god, but it's been ALL worth it.........keep dancing, drinking, and loving EVERY DAY for that is the true gift of the god of your choice. With all the artists that have died it is god who has the best concert in the kingdom of heaven tonight.
as a 90s kid, how could i for the life of me have missed this song growing up! First listened to this 3 days ago and have not stopped putting this on repeat!
This version leaves out a line, and a good one. The last lines are: So over the hills he'd climb Just to see her there in time Just to watch the sun shine through her dress The sweet soldier's daughter The sweet soldier's daughter "Just to see her there in time" is omitted from this video, not sure why. Tonic is awesome by the way.
I wish we could have those days back…..Life moves soooo fast enjoy what you have. Prayers to all of those that are here and to those that have moved one in God’s hands.

Great music comes from the artists that make it, not the decade it was made. For those who say nothing great is out there in 2013 are stuck or their senses are numbed.
Truly under-rated ... Real music with razor sharp vocals, outstanding guitar playing and just a well rounded selection of songs to call one of your favorites. This one is certainly at the top of my list. Thank you for creating such great music that strikes a chord with so many of us.
This song always makes me want to take an aimless drive through the Iowa countryside (I live in AZ now) on a late afternoon in autumn. I know... it's very specific, but that's the feeling it gives me every time I hear it.
I'm ok with ads - we're watching this stuff for free. The servers and bandwidth have to be paid for somehow. Dealing with annoying ads is worth it for me. The video ads are shorter than MTV commercials were, and the pop-ups at the bottom can be closed, unlike the ads that would sometimes (and still do) pop up on TV for other shows. It's life.
155,231 views? People are so fixated on Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, that they forget that REAL music actually exists. At least we are the disillusioned ones? 90s are awesome!
Way back when Lemon Parade was big, I rescued a wee beagle from a breeding farm. She was full of cancer and only had a few months of freedom and life.

I graduated HS in 99, and I still come back to listen to these guys. Brings back memories from ski trips, etc. What a great band.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. I have been listening to them for over 15 years. No matter how specific their lyrics get, they leave room for me to interpret them for myself and enjoy them as if they were written for me.
+PotzyMccoy yea they are majorly underrated
Agreed😊
Still an Underated Band. This album was perfect from start to finish. So Nostalgic!
I want these days back ..
"You can bend but you can't break."
Definitely one of the best bands ever.
Blessed to have grown up through the 90s some of the best bands PERIOD!!
These guys do NOT have a bad song.
brywool IKR THEY ARE AMAZING
Amen!
Their music has really held up over all these years. I was deployed several times to Afghanistan and most of us had our own soundtracks to get you through the long nights away from our loved ones. but no one ever really talked about it it was just hard enough worrying about what tomorrow was going to bring. But hey that’s how you get through the SUCK!!
Even their bad songs are good (re: Thick).
Personally, I think they only have 1 good song.
Oh man, Emerson is so raw with emotion in his lyrics. I absolutely love it, his voice is phenomenal.
This song should have been a big hit. Tonic is such a great band.
The whole world should know Tonic. Their songs are amazing. I can't believe I just found out about them just recently 😞
I only knew tonics song "if you could only see " by hearing the song, I KNEW THE SONG JUST DIDN'T REMEMBER WHO SANG THE SONG BUT ONCE IT FIGURED IT OUT I WAS LIKE DUUUHHH, AND YES I'M BEYOND ABSENT MINDED EVER SINCE THIS GODFORSAKEN CAR WRECK I WAS IN AND NO I WASN'T DRIVING I WAS SITTING BACK SEAT CENTER AND BELTED IN WITH ENOUGH SLACK TO LEAN FORWARD TO HEAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SURE ENOUGH I WAS BLESSED WITH SMASHING MY HEAD IN TO THE ROOF WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I WAS ABLE TO DO BEFORE THE WRECK SUCH AS WALK,TALK,EAT AND ,PERSONALHYGEINE (BATHE, TOILET, ETC..😤🤬 🙄..!!)
Better late than never...🤍
They are so amazing. I don't know why they aren't more well-known.
Had their cd in the 90's, loved every song on it.
❤️
LEMON PARADE, AN EXCELLENT ALBUM. I started playing this song again a few weeks ago and fell in love with both the song and the LP/ALBUM
It's the way he looks at you
That says to me
This isn't over
From the outside looking in
You see there's nothing sacred here
Nothing sacred
You can bend
But you can't break
For the reasons out of our control
You try to make it roll
Like a dice away
But you say that you're all empowered here
This is obviously not clear enough
To meYou can bend
But you can't break
Hey little girl keep dancing
Hey little girl keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your day
To keep you here
The soldier's daughter
Did your daddy
Did your daddy hurt you
Did he make you feel bad
Did he poison your views
With the water he was raised on
Oh you father's son says hang on
Hang on
Hey little girl
Keep dancing
Hay little girl
Keep dancing alone
'Cause there's not enough time in your life
To stay here
So over the hills he'd climb
Just to see her there in time
Just to watch the sun shine through her dress
The sweet soldier's daughter
The sweet soldier's daughter
Today is Friday October 20,2023 A.D. and I Jacob is still Rocking out to Tonic Today;!
March 2024 me too
This band should be a lot bigger than they are. Such great songs.
I've been listening to tonic for as long as I could remember. My dad would always play it in the car wherever we went somewhere and I am forever grateful for this band. They keep my childhood alive.
Same here! Their music means even more to me now that I'm an adult. ❤
Still one of the best songs ever and it's 2020 🧡
you can bend, but you can't break. you are allowed to hurt, but don't let it end you!!
I remember being a teenager & getting drunk with my pop, listening to this album, & Daddy would make me sing to him. God, I miss those times, and I miss my daddy :'(
Best song EVER
Feeling like 19 again listing to this really good music.
90's Rock music, soothing, melodic and great meanings and lyrics. Ain't nothing better....
This was one of the best bands and best album of their time.
The music business is stupid.
One of the best periods of my 58 year life ;Wife pregnant with my first child, loved my job. my alternative band :loved my new City and all the amazing 90s tunes.Shit,I'm glad I remember it all.
as a soldiers daughter this is like MY SONG.......but cheers to all of the soldiers daughters.......a lot of us have lived this song...i know i have.....thats why i keep dancing.............
Seriously underrated band....
As a young girl I remember spinning in circles listening to this song in my room. Now that I'm older and reflect on that childhood (or rather it haunts me) this song resonates still.
Hope things get better
Me too ; )

I AM read Daniel Smith you will see. Find my pure light. You should go dumb
I'm 16 and people make fun of me for listening to music like this. The music nowadays thats in the charts just doesn't mean anything
Very under rated band....they are excellent....
Most underrated song they have. Truly a gem amongst gems!!
an absolute gem!!!!
gives me chills everytime! LOVE this song!
God damn, I miss the 90's.
I forgot how much I love Tonic!!! Awesome band!!
Hey little girl, keep dancing. A brothers message to his little sister
probably my favorite tonic song. Freaking amazing.....
as a 90s kid, how could i for the life of me have missed this song growing up! First listened to this 3 days ago and have not stopped putting this on repeat!
Haven't listened to this in over 20 years. Good to hear this again
Mr. Hart; we'd love for you to honor the real American Heroes at Camp Lejeune
ahhh it's 2021...and still one of my favorite songs..all time.
randomly got recommended, not dissapointed. Loved the song
got to say if you could only see is thee best song out there and that is what got me to start to listen to this band and im lovin it
absolutely can not hear this song enough !!!
GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING
This version leaves out a line, and a good one. The last lines are:
So over the hills he'd climb
Just to see her there in time
Just to watch the sun shine through her dress

"Just to see her there in time" is omitted from this video, not sure why. Tonic is awesome by the way.
Badass guitarist
Just heard these guys first time first song!! A cherished moment forever!!! In 2022
Hauntingly beautiful.... for me - one of those songs that is all too poetically descriptive of my lifelong situation with my 'father'.
I love all of their songs
fabulous
1st time heard..1st time LOVE!!!{♡}
🙏 Thank you for this work of art that shaped my life. Gods bless you. 💜💜💜
I discovered them on FM radio RIP FM Radio
LOVE this song!
A soldiers' daughter can mean anything. So much. I for one think it's one of my favorite songs!
I'm a Marines daughter, I love you Israel. God bless you and your daughter, me, Cami Lynn.
Great song!
I love this song and this album!
My Tonic CD was a gift and what a gift it was.....still love it.
I wish we could have those days back…..Life moves soooo fast enjoy what you have. Prayers to all of those that are here and to those that have moved one in God’s hands.
Never knew there was a music video for this song.
Such a beautiful song, I love Tonic
Ah, this brings back sweet memories. Love these guys!
Every time I listen to this song it tears in my eyes as I sing along
True, there's plenty of good music today, but the good stuff like this one just doesn't get the attention that it once did.
if every single person who listened to 90s music used youtube as much as my generation does, the number of hits for 90s bands would multiply by 5.
Tonic is the best
Amazing CD. I will always treasure mine. Thank you guys for the memories!
Why do things have to change :( Bring back the nineties man!!!! This new generation is full of a bunch of emotionless and heartless kids
Great song

this still makes me cry..

One of the best band's
To all the soldiers---Thanks for making the peace in the Middle East. No other country is going to address it.
memories
Taking me back🖤🥀🖤

hell yeah, I remember I used to listen to this in middle school like 12 years ago.
Memories. Tonic. Wow! So good.
90s and 80s are the best decades for music.
Man I agree 100 percent. It's crazy how this great music takes you back.
heard Tonic is reuniting in 2010 and will have new original material.
Amen to the above and the below. Damn good band.
155,231 views? People are so fixated on Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, that they forget that REAL music actually exists. At least we are the disillusioned ones? 90s are awesome!
tonic is an awesome band
always loved the band but never checked their videos. I think this one is by far the best. great preparation and direction
Beautiful, just beautiful song!
The new album, their self titled album, is just so goood
GREAT ALBUM...EVEN BETTER SONG
