See the full gallery. This fictionalized story, based on the family life of writer James Jones, is an emotionless slice-of-life story. Jones here is portrayed as Bill Willis, a former war hero and now successful author who obviously drinks too much and is starting to experience health problems. Living in France with his wife, daughter, and an The Soldiers Daughter son, the family travels an unconventional road that leaves all of them as outsiders The Soldiers Daughter others. Preaching a sexual freedom, his daughter's sexual acceptance begins at an early age and betrays her when the family moves to Hanover in America. Her sexuality is definitely not the normal for American teens and gives her a bad reputation and outcasts her. Meanwhile her brooding brother struggles with his own inner turmoils about his early desertion in life. Only within the tight knit confines of his family is he comfortable to even speak. This is an sensitive exploration of the family and place. The Soldiers Daughter noticed that Bill Willis was the only father in the picture, Billy and Francis did not have fathers. As a coming of age movie it really worked- for not only does Channe lose some of her innocence- it starts in the tree house- she also is able to accept her coming into adult status- as is evidenced by dumping The Soldiers Daughter jock and losing some of her self- centeredness. Most of the parts of this movie fit together well- there is enough dichotomy- the mother can throw sand in the sadistic teacher's face, but she also crumbles at the death of an unborn child. Like us the characters are both strong and weak. At first I was bothered by the lack of reference to Vietnam- then I realized neither Billy nor Channe would be that affected like those of us who lived through that period. Most of all, Soldier's Daughter moved me to thinking how parents really influence their children. Any movie that foregoes bombs for thought is tops in my book. Looking for something to watch?

Tonic — Soldier's Daughter. 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 The Soldiers Daughter 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 The Soldiers Daughter dancing alone The Soldiers Daughter there's not enough time in your day To The Soldiers Daughter 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 Edit Lyrics. Soldier's Daughter song meanings. Add your thoughts 15 Comments. General Comment The Soldiers Daughter of all, obviously this song is about a girl and her father. I think that thier relationship as father and daughter isnt The Soldiers Daughter well because he doesn't give her the love that a father should and treat her the way hes suppose to. I think when he says that You can bend But you can't break that he means you can take a break from trying to work The Soldiers Daughter the relationship, but don't give up. Keep dancing, even if you have to be alone for a while. And when he says- For the reasons out of our control You try to make it roll, Like The Soldiers Daughter dice away- i think hes saying that she keeps working at it but her father still isn't understanding and getting it through his head. I really not sure if im close at all. But i love the song, its so powerful and meaningful No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error. General Comment I have to say, this is by far my favorite Tonic song. I almost cried the first time I heard it and a few times since for that matterand I can tell you exactly what it means in my head, which is what matters really ;p This is a being sung by a man to his younger sister. The Soldiers Daughter both grown up, moved out, gone on with their lives, and then one day he realizes that all the crap from when they were young is still there. The relationship between his sister and his dad is still not right. She keeps wanting something, affection maybe, or just for him to say 'I'm proud of who you've become', and he's not giving it. Maybe he's oblivious, maybe he's just cruel. I don't think either of them know. And yet it stays standing, stays rooted in the ground, because instead of fighting the wind it's trunk bends, so low sometimes that it The Soldiers Daughter the sand, but it always stands up again when the wind stops blowing. I had a friend tell me it's all about sexual abuse, but I don't get that from this song at all. I think he thought so because of the 'sun shin[ing] though her dress' bit. To me that's just this beautiful image, carried by the brother, of a time when they were kids and they'd play in the fields and she'd pretend to be a ballerina, dancing around in her sundress. It's a plea to not lose that completely, even though it was that innocence that allowed The Soldiers Daughter to be hurt in the first place. See, now I'm getting all teary again. Maybe I need to stop drawing parallels between song lyrics and my life. Or maybe that's the mark of a good song. General Comment This is one of my favorite Tonic The Soldiers Daughter. I never quite figured The Soldiers Daughter the backstory, but I think the above comments captured my assumptions and ideas about it. It's a really good song. Emerson Hart is an awesome song writer. Chris Dixon. General Comment Got to agree with pretty much everything said here Not quite sure I agree with the sexual abuse idea. I think the song title "soldiers daughter" suggests an overbearing father. As for the last part General Comment "did he poison your views with the water he was raised on" This is about a girl who is trying to find herself.
