Has anybody else notice that Eddie Dosnt use the term "daddy" anymore? Like in Jeremy, and I think there some other songs but I can't remember them. But he only refers to him as "father"? I feel like there is some significance to this.... What do y'all think? Am I over thinking?

    maybe he finds 'daddy' sound too childish? maybe now that he's a dad himself, he finds it improper to use it? - speculating wildly here... -
    maybe he could come over here and explain... :-)
    got caught out a few times, being so used to singing 'what you thought was your daddy' in Alive, and Eddie blaring 'Father'... oops...

    he really underestimates the impact of these kind of decisions on us :-)

    Probably because the ah-sound in father is easier to sing than the eee-sound in daddy.
    Smart choice, sounds better aswell I think

    In Alive maybe. But not Jeremy.

    I found myself pondering over this too. I also feel it could be related to Eddie finding it too childish to say "daddy", since becoming a dad. Pure speculation, but a thought that crossed my mind. I personally feel it sounds ok in Alive, but in Jeremy, l believe it should be kept to "daddy".

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! But I find that the childish aspect makes the song! Because in both situations in each song it's a child saying daddy. But idk! It's a good question to ask Ed when I meet him! ;)
