“My Dad’s the Engineer” is a dramatic and sentimental late-19th-century ballad typical of Charles Graham’s storytelling style. The song unfolds aboard a nighttime train journey where passengers are suddenly thrown into panic as the locomotive rushes through a forest fire. Flames illuminate the windows, sparks fall dangerously close, and fear spreads among everyone—everyone except one small girl.

At the heart of the song is this “tiny maid,” a calm and confident child who reassures the terrified passengers with a simple declaration of trust:
“There’s nothing to fear… my Dad’s the engineer.”
Her unwavering belief in her father’s skill becomes the emotional anchor of the piece. The refrain reinforces her message, emphasizing the idea that the engineer—her father—knows exactly what he’s doing and will bring them safely through the danger.

As the train speeds through the burning forest, the engineer indeed guides it to safety, validating his daughter’s faith. The narrator closes the song by affirming that the girl’s proud, serene expression and her brave words will remain unforgettable.

Musically and thematically, the song fits perfectly into the Victorian-era tradition of heroic storytelling, sentimentality, and domestic admiration. It honors working-class courage, the trust between a child and her parent, and the quiet heroism of those who take responsibility for the lives of others.

Hien Q*** Le, born November 2, 2000, in Ho Chi Minh City. I'm a very gentle DJ, Music Producer, Minecraft Player, and FPT University Student. I love listening to music, watching train, watching news. In March 2019, when I was at class 12, I started watching train and mixing music. That time, I was good at the subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Geography, English. In August 2019, I graduated the Nguyen Trung Truc high school in Go Vap district. From May to October 2021, I suspended watching train and tried to improve my health against COVID-19. I tried to listen to music at all of healing frequencies. Since December 2021, I continue to watch train, upload my train videos to YouTube, produce many songs as a DJ and music producer. In 2019, my genre was many of EDM genres. But now, my genres are Kidcore and Classical Music.
