Decades ago, the world fell in love with Paul Simon's stirring lyrics on timeless folk-pop classics like "The Sound of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Yet few fans are familiar with perhaps his most heartfelt composition yet – an ode to daughter Lulu Simon penned while watching her grow up. In this video, FactsVerse goes behind the velvet ropes of celebrity to uncover the profoundly close bond between legendary musician and beloved daughter.

From jam sessions around a six-year-old Lulu's toy piano to teaching teenaged Lulu her first guitar chords, Paul nurtured a constant love of music within his little girl. His own journey from teenage songwriter to voice of a generation showed Lulu that with passion and dedication, she too could pour her soul into songcraft. When a shy young Lulu began shyly strumming her handwritten lyrics in the bathroom to avoid judgement, Paul was undoubtedly already her biggest fan anxious to hear this creative awakening.
Yet while Lulu's early music echoed the folk-pop sensibilities of her father, she forged a style wildly her own, blending synth beats and vulnerability-rich lyricism. As she discovered the euphoric musical freedom of pop artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, Paul witnessed his daughter bloom into a visionary pop sensation with a voice distinctly Lulu. From her earliest singles to newest compositions, Lulu came into her own by following her unique artistic compass – wherever it led her.
Just as touching as watching his little girl grow into a fierce musical force though has been Paul's immense pride at the young woman she has become. Her trademark sensitive pop gives listeners a window into Lulu's remarkable emotional intelligence, empathy and integrity that Paul helped nurture. Now with Lulu standing as pop's most exciting new voice on her own terms, Paul continues serving as friend, mentor and eternal fan uplifting her soaring talents.
