PAPA WHAT IF – rory+indy

Introduction

“Papa What If” is a heartfelt father-daughter duet performed by Rory Feek and his daughter, Indiana (Indy) Feek. Released in 2022, this rendition of Shel Silverstein’s original 1970s song “Daddy What If” captures the tender bond between a parent and child through a simple acoustic arrangement.

In this version, Rory and Indy sit together on their farmhouse porch, engaging in a playful yet profound conversation. Indy poses a series of innocent “what if” questions, to which Rory responds with gentle reassurance and love. The song’s intimate setting and sincere delivery resonate deeply with listeners, highlighting the beauty of familial love and the joy of shared moments.

Rory Feek, known for his work as part of the country duo Joey + Rory, has continued his musical journey as a solo artist and devoted father. Following the passing of his wife, Joey, in 2016, Rory has embraced fatherhood with grace, raising Indy in a home filled with music, faith, and love. “Papa What If” serves as a testament to their enduring connection and the timeless nature of a parent’s love.

This rendition of “Papa What If” is more than just a song; it is a poignant reminder of the simple yet profound moments that define our relationships with those we hold dear.
