For all the boys at heart who identify with this great song. I used to listen to it in my twenties and feel like I had something to pity myself about. My dad committed suicide when I was 3. Then, I was adopted by a man whose sole aim was to abuse me, physically and psychologically. And believe me, it was vicious. He very nearly succeeded in driving me to suicide. Know what always kept me going? Rock, metal and poetry. Now, I am as driven as anyone and I know no one can break my spirit. I have three kids now and it is my mission to be the father to them that I never had. This is what angers and infuriates the haters beyond all recognition. They can't stand it when they fail at breaking your spirit. I raise my cup to all you out there who had to grow up fatherless, both men and women. Stay strong, my fatherless yet unbreakable brothers and sisters.
I'm 59. My father died in 2018. I still miss him every day. I was so blessed to have him for as long as I did. We locked horns more than once. But there was NEVER any doubt that he loved and was devoted to his wife and children. He died in my arms of a Friday morning asking me to help him. I couldn't. Sometimes, when I'm alone, even at this advanced age, I just start crying when I think about him. Rest In Peace Dad. You left your pain down here. Thanks for being such a great Dad
Im sorry for your loss glad you had a relationship with your father!I looked for my Dad for years and he never wanted me if he died today I'd laugh 😂 tomorrow but I'm very sorry for your loss
My father is a piece of human garbage if he died today I'd laugh 😂 tomorrow but I love this song seen Faster Pussycats in concert in 95 best concert ever, I'd never do my child like that period and I'm a good person
I just became a Grandpa during the Covid!! My dad left me, I stood by my boys and became a single parent in 2009 My oldest boy got married and they just had a boy!!! I see them every chance I get!!! I did Better than my father!!! This song got me through some ugly nights and hollow fights, But I have made it!!!! I WON!!!
You should be proud of yourself for breaking that cycle. My daughters father is on/off drugs and in/out of jail so he's not in her life. I commend you for stepping up and being a father...a great father at that. Much love from SC
I worshiped my dad when I was a little boy and still do! He was the best example of what a real man is! Thank you dad for making me the man i am today!
Jesus came for the broken, and to bring healing to places of pain, that's where he found me, house of pain. May God Bless all who read this, and may Jesus come into your house of pain with healing..
Same ...my childhood wasn't terrible, they provided alot of the tangible things and I wasn't really mistreated in any real particular way. It was though three people living their own individual seperate lives and living together more out of economic necessity than by choice .
@@288ssj suppose what I meant was if u asked someone on the street, they would not know the song. Where as with some other rock ballads, alot of people would be aware of them.
I dont care who you are, if you grew up in the 80's, everytime you hear this song, tears start falling!! "I didn't write these pages and my scripts' been rearranged.......!"
I lost my Father due to cancer on 6/23/22. I miss him and what I've lost. I miss and dedicated this to him....he was a wonderful Father, friend and protector....I now live in a house of pain without you.. Love you, Daddy....Now at 47, I miss you. I miss and wish you were here.
This ballad really does tug on my heart strings. My Mum and Dad both divorced when I was 10 years old and I always remember when he left and I wanted to go with him and always thought he was the best dad in the world despite his flaws. I always remember sitting and staring out of my bedroom window waiting for his car to arrive when he promised he would come up and see me and my brothers but time and time again he would fail to turn up as he would be out drinking. My Mum always said when I get older I will see my dad for what he really is. Fast forward to 2022 and now I’m 42 years old and due to get married for the first time in September and he can’t even make the effort to come out on my stag doo. Even today I still always try and see the best in him but sadly he will never change. Can we show some appreciation to all the Mums out there who made our childhood as awesome as possible. ❤️
I guess you were born in 1980. I hope all the best in your marriage mate, be the father you always wanted to have, try to forgive, but never forget. I'm 42 years old, too, and I've this kind of "dads" coming back to their children in their old years, begging for forgiveness and try to make up the past years, those years they weren't there. I believe is too late, sort of relationship can be in placed but those years were the were supposed to be there are long gone.
@@rinaticson390please help your husband to not beat himself up too much. He was out there carving out a space for his family and himself in the world. I think what FP are singing about is a different situation where Dad is NEVER there or “unknown”. That’s not your reality. Your man was out there working his ass off to carve out a chunk of this world for himself and his family. Try to assuage his guilt as much as possible. Remember it’s quality (devices and tv off) not quantity that REALLY matters, and it’s never too late to start.
My brother played this for our bio dad after he finally returned, years after he had abandoned us. It was short lived and the only time I ever saw any slight emotion out of him in regard to the pain my brother and I felt. This song will always hold a special place in my soul.
@@joshhall2715 I know better , you say he can pound sand , but there will always be that part of you buried deep inside of you That hurts, but you really should put your hand out. Not trying to defend him but maybe he just can't find the words and don't know how to reach out so you could be the bigger man , or you can just tell me to F*** off , and I will F*** off but you know I'm right about deep inside you
I wish the best to anyone that's been through something like this or any other form of childhood trauma of which there are many. Swap this with my mother and this song resonates with me since the day it released. 40 years later and I finally learn it was my father and stepmother who scared her away to the point she was never around. I recall I had to sneak out a couple of times just to get picked up yet I always thought she didn't want to be around. Parents fighting and pulling BS like this are among a plethora of reasons we grow up scarred, broken, or worse. This was only one of many trauma's I dealt with. I think a lot of parents don't realize how our childhood environment shapes us. More than a lot of people want to admit.
Peacemaker and Vigilante, Real American Heroes, Definitely Not Jokes!!! Side Note: James Gunn needs to put together song collections, the guy is like a song guru. Also love how in 5 minutes he takes a show from being goofy to being more serious then most dramas
Love this song, wish Dad could have made our relationship better...only if he taken the time.. Can relate so much.Only thing is I'll never know....He passed away over 12 years ago, I never asked... I should have, my regret... " In my house of pain" But mom was there, she filled his shoes...Now she's been gone now for 4yrs... Such a sad story, the positive side I will share is my kids had Love in our home, Wife & I married over 24 years now. Our kids grew up better then we did, for that is my Blessings... I was able to give them a better life.... " In our house of Love"
You and me both brother. Mom packed me up with my sister when I was 7 and moved us 1500 miles away from pops. Didn't have him in my life till I was in my early twenties but by then it's too late. A boy needs his father to learn what it means to be a man.
My dad passed away when I was 12 Dec 8th 1991 with me who kicked a door down after he Shot himself, he owed a lot of money to a spot.... I will never tell the situation, however I went in an tried to hold his arteries together, blood all over my face ,clothes etc. Its been 30yrs. I still haven't been able to forgive him an my mother passed June 2nd 2021 of cancer. My child has nothing to do with because they say that, I'm off the chain. I can't express this enough, please don't tell a child something an do the opposite. My son is now 22 has nothing to do with because of the fact I cheated!!!!!!!!! I feel my dad would be alive, if I wouldn't have given him my shells...........
However, I was a great father to my son! Can't how he looks at it but...... He chose to live opposite an live off his money Grandfather on my wife's side since he was going through bull from his mother!! My thoughts is stay together forever. E 2022
Just played this song for my 13 year old daughter and I sat there explaining the song to her, telling her I have done everything possible so she and her brothers and sisters didn’t grow up without a father in their home, I’m still here 30 years strong with my wife and all my kids, and now a Poppa of 5!!!
Mad respect.. we did well well been married since 86 raised 3 boys n a dozen grandkids .we did well for long haired stoners.times changed but music helps
I just lost my Step father, the pain is unbearable in my heart. He was more of a father to me than my own blood!!! This song hits the core RIP James!!!
That's a double edge sword sometimes those step parents are just good to you so they can have that lonely mom with kids , but at least you had some one
Welcome to 80 s women got rigts and leaving lol mRched with my Mom in DC for ERA EQUAL RIGHTS mendment totally a different world don't equal it too civil rights for blacks whole different thing not the beaver days with June women want money for the same job and Damn right the should have it
God, I wish I could go back to that time, especially if I could know what I do now! The cars were better, the music was WAY better, and people weren't overly sensitive little crybabies.
I think part of why so many people have come back to this iconic song as if it’s totally new is that a lot of people don’t really look back at the hair metal scene with the same rose colored glasses that other genres have. Hair metal kind of has a negative corny perception typically, So it seems a lot of people don’t look back on it as much, atleast from my experience
I feel ashamed to say that I didn't know this song... I know the lyrics from The White Buffalo - House Of Pain (didn't know it was a cover, I recommend everyone to listen to it, it's a really good cover).
This song really hits home now that I’m days away from losing my father to pancreatic cancer . He wasn’t there when I was a kid but he’s been here since I’ve grown up . I call him everyday to see how he is doing and wether he’s in pain or not . I love that man with all I’ve got . My mother was taken back in 2013 and here it is the end of dec 22.. He just said the other day that he would like a few more years . But that’s just not in the cards and I know it . I love you daddy . I’m sure gonna miss you. I’m 50 yrs old and cryin like a little kid . Whew , can’t help it .sorry. Update - he’s on his deathbed now . He just had a birthday. You know when I was a kid he literally beat the crap out of me , but I’d take all those beatings again to have him around for a while longer . Someone told me that when they lost their dad it was like losing a child and I get it now . I’m going back to visit next weekend if he makes another week . I’m not able to hold it together when I see him in that shape . I know he’s so scared . I can hear it in his voice . I’m just losing it right now . Update , it’s now may the 9th . He’s in a hospital bed at home under hospice care . The hospice nurse said yesterday that he might not make it through the night . He made it through the night but it’s just anytime now . I’m praying for him as hard as I can pray that he makes it to heaven . I’m sure gonna miss him . I’m dreading this so bad . But I don’t want him to suffer anymore. I love you dad . Please please lord accept his soul into your mighty kingdom . Dad I’ll look for you when it’s my time to go . Edit - it’s may 10th and he took his last breath at 9:34pm . I cried so hard at the funeral I was hyperventilating. People I haven’t seen in 40 years were there trying to ease my mind . He was a retired police officer of over 50 years so it was like a military funeral. Through all the crying and trying to breath , what really made me so very proud of my dad is when they closed the casket there was a very tall and large black fella dressed in what looked to be similar to a marine stood in front of dad facing him and did a salute that sent chills over everybody in the chapel . This has been the hardest time I’ve ever had to go through . During the burial the next day which was yesterday, they gave him a 21 gun salute and played bagpipes . It was really something seeing that many people showing that much respect . I’m gonna miss you dad . I love you . Edit - here it is 3 weeks after my dads death and I’m still having insane crying fits . I mean it’s so bad that it makes me feel like I cant carry on without him in this world . One thing that I’ve learned is how important it is to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you .
Chris, I am sorry you're going through this with your dad. I will keep you both in my prayers and wish the best for you. My dad was there for me, but he wasn't. He was a beerman for Budweiser back in the 70's. When he wasn't drinking, he was a loving caring father, but when he drank, he was a totally different person. I wound up moving out at 15 in 1980 and going to live with my mother because the drinking and arguing got to be to much. In 2000, I finally talked my dad into coming to live with us. He always told me that he never wanted to be a burden on his kids and it took me forever to get him to to come live with us, but once he did, I think he was the happiest he'd been in years and didn't regret it. He picked at my wife and kids all the time and they loved to pick at him. He no longer smoke or drank so it was back to the best of my dad. He told me once when we were talking that he wished he'd have been a better father. I told him "Well dad, I've gotten some pretty bad ass whippings from you but it wasn't for nothing that I didn't deserve. Not once did I ever think you didn't love me." There wasn't anything I wanted that I didn't get. Well, except for a motorcycle. I never did talk him into that. 😁 My dad passed away in 2011. His passing was the only death I've ever witnessed. I was holding his hand when he passed away. Messed me up. When the Coroner came, I heard him tell another guy that the time of death was 3.00 am. I told him "don't put my dad's time of death at 3.00 am." When he asked me why I told him "That's the Devils hr. Don't put my dad's death at 3.00 am." He put it at 2:59 am. I would give everything I've got if it would bring back my dad. But I know that'll never be. I'll just hold onto the memories. I wish the best for you and your dad.
@@richardbuchli4071 My dad never got me a motorcycle or a mini bike . I begged and begged . On Christmas morning I’d run down stairs and not see a mini bike and I just went back upstairs. I took some major beatings from him when I was young. He would literally beat me until I crapped myself . No joke . I remember so far back because my mom and dad cheated on each other and took their anger out on me . I remember so much . They finally divorced and me and my mom moved away. . I didn’t see him again until I was 14. My mother remarried a guy she barley knew and he murdered her back in 2013 . Had to have her funeral on my 40th birthday. That was hard . I still dream about my mother all the time . I can tell my dad is sorry for everything when I talk to him now. .
Damn brother! Your childhood sounds as messed up as mine was. Yeah I moved away from my dad in 1980 and went to live with my mom. But truth be told. I jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Worst mistake I ever made. I went from just listening to my dad and stepmom yelling at each other, tearing the house all to pieces to someone who directed their anger at me. Yelling and cussing me, hit me a few times, but the worst was the mind games. She turned my sister against me. My sister and I talk now and she is sorry for what she did to me but that close bond I had with her is gone because I don't trust her anymore. I was constantly stressed out. Imagine being in a situation where you knew whatever you said, no matter what, someone was going to start yelling and cussing you. I took that s**t when I was younger, but when I got to be around 17 or 18 my mother got up in my face yelling and cussing me. I was waiting for her to hit me but she didn't because I think she realized that time I was going to hit her back. And i wasn't going to stop beating on her Chris. I had a very violent and defensive temper back then. On into my early 30's. My wife helped me alot with my anger issues, to a point I can say I feel normal again. People that come from a good family, they just don't understand how someone can be so angry. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I think the only thing where I benefited from that was I was only tested one time in high school in Auto Mechanics. The Juniors and Seniors would initiate you in thas class by beating the hell out of you. I was a Sophomore. I told them they weren't going to beat on me. This Senior grabbed me and I slammed him into the lockers. Grabbed him by the front of the shirt, picked him up off the floor, slammed him into the lockers again and then started tightening his shirt around his throat. I did that for a few seconds, dropped him and stepped back. I was waiting for him to take a swing at me but it never came. I never had anymore problems after that. I wish you the best brother. I hope the future holds nothing but peace and happiness for you.👍
Almost the same thing happened with me and my parents. Lost my hubby in 16, mom 17, dad 18 and my middle son (my wayward son) in 20. I keep hearing this dang song in my head bc of my youngest. He never got his dad to love him. Even when there was a little brief time it went back to the same old thing... His dad was too busy. I'm so glad you got time with your daddy. I'm glad I got a little bit with mine. If you pray, pray for my son. It's killing me seeing him turn colder and hate consumed. Idk what to do
"This very second, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They are either lonely, they are missing somebody, they are depressed, they are hurt, they are scarred of the past, they are having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you would not believe. They wish, they dream, and they hope. And this very second, they are sitting here reading these words, and I am writing this for you, so you do not feel alone anymore. Always remember, do not be depressed about the past, do not worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great, do not worry! Tomorrow's a new beginning. After reading, please share this, to make someone else feel better. Have a Blessed day my Friend!" 😊
You said it dead on it. I grew up alone no brothers or sisters , no family, no friends where I lived no nothing till 86-87 and I got my first rock tape and heard a song played at school talent show that I found my friend and true love DRUMS. The music ,the bands, the power ballads all left life changing events with ever song I hear from them memories. Some good some bad and some hurt 30 yrs later...to my first love and all my friends from back then R.I.P. I miss you.
People always make fun of the "hair metal" bands, but those bands could all play real instruments, and write their own songs.They actually had talent, whether you liked them or not !!!
People that make fun of "hair metal" bands don't know shit about music. It really is a lost era of brilliance that will never get the respect that is due
Agreed. It's impossible to write a song that's terrifying yet beautifully gorgeous at the same time... The guitars "spoke" as much as the vocals and lyrics, and that's not an easy job..... I miss it... I swore it'd come back around, but it looks like all we will ever have is this brilliance to look back on. 💕
That's all I've ever listened to. Hair metal, metal, rock n roll. I grew up in the 80s so thankfully all my friends listened to same music. Rap is crap with no talent.
This song is for my Dad. I never knew him and he died in 1997. I am now 44 years old. I miss someone I never knew. He is HALF of ME. I'm allowed to miss. This is for YOU K.L.R.
I think the real father we have would be the one in haven. Its worth noting that Jesus taught us to pray, "Our Father in haven.." and not "Our God who is in haven".
@@timwildermuth2929 l was 5 years old too when my Dad left. About 6 years ago, l was told he was my adopted dad and this was after he passed away. So the video does remind me of him growing up. He visited me on Saturdays and holidays. Always late for the most part when he would visit.
I get way to emotional listening to this, i grew up with nine siblings and my father treated me like i wasn't part of the family. He passed away at 83 years old in 2022, it's sad because he never got to know me and how much respect i gave him without receiving any in return. Sorry, just thought I'd share that with you peeps.
"Five years old and talking to myself". Fast forward to "18 and still talking to myself". Those lyrics just rip my heart out. If you have no intention of caring for your children, don't have any. #heartbreaking
Amen, Targeted, if you don't WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALY LIKE as well as LOVE children why bring them into this world which can be so cruel and unforgiving??? Targeted, from your comment it's clear that this is still affecting you. Deeply. Honey my heart and prayers go out to you! 🤗= me praying for you 😇= peace for you 😘= me sending love for your soul Last but not least 😜😉😧😏= me just trying to make you smile....
@@rachelboone734 May God bless you maddam. I 💯 percent agree with you I don't care if anyone likes me as long as I hear.. daddy . Lord knows I have stumbled in life but fell more times than I can count but one thing is for sure I love my kids and by the way the old cruel world is I want the opportunity to show my kids how to treat others, and not have taxpayer money for nonsense classes hell I can play a game with my kids don't need a paid babysitter for an HR. However God bless
I’m 40 and still talking to myself. My dad left us when I was 5 to start a new family. Those emotional scars never heal. He’s dead now and I never got to tell him how I felt. Growing up with daddy issues is a tough bitch.
All the recent discoverers of this song, we all know why we're here. Peacemaker is a baller show. Also, side note. My dad has always been a deadbeat addict and I was just desperate to have someone to look up to and I wanted it to be my old man. In my early years he'd never come home and as we both got older, in other ways he wasn't home. I wish things could have been different. It crushes me every day and no one in my life realises.
Came from a similar place but it wasn't my Dad it was my mom and I to have know this song a long time , it's one I haven't visited in a long time , some memories you gotta be in the right space to want to revisit
MY father never had time for me and I could never understand why. In my 40's I got a call from a aunt saying he needed help so took care of him his last seven years of his life (dementia). I was so pissed at first then the day before he passed (cancer)I told him I love ya dad and then he said I love you so clear, I forgave him in that moment. This song help me in my teen years knowing I wasn't alone but I was. I tell my son I love you everyday and he is twenty eight.. Love your kids they never asked to be born.
Cant hold my tears after listening to this again, my school teacher used to play this, House of pain, Silent Lucidity to us when we were in Hostel.A few years ago, found out that he died, he suffered at lot during those days but he always smiled, he had a good heart.This songs for him. RIP SIR ALEX 🙏
Im man enough to admit, the hardest I had ever cried was when I was stuck in traffic at 19 yo and this song came on.....felt like this song was about me and somehow these guys knew. Sucks that so many of us lived through that. My son will never know that pain.
Just means your human man, lived that video myself. Really hits sometimes when you look back at the men we have become and realize our fathers will never really know the real us. They missed out along with us missing out on them being there guiding us through life like a father should.
Peacemaker definitely hit it out of the park with this song, and it brings back so many memories from the MTV era. We wore this song out. Must have listened to this 60 times since The episode.
@@calnelson8578 shame, i am frank, shame on her to leave a son. Everybody grows old. She will sure regret it when she looks back. No family is like TV ads. We just trued to stick together. No family is therw thay are fully satisfied over things. But family is fanily. It sure pays up in the end we just love how we all bonded. Withoht loves, love for family, life is always hard. But with love, true love, everything is not too hard.out of love, we bear each other' s burden, problems, and thers nothing love cannot overcome. she, your ex wife will find out when its too late..
Peacemaker brought me here. Such a great scene. As soon as it started the first chord I knew what song they were playing. Perfect song for the scene. This song has nearly been forgotten from that era of metal/rock. Even as a kid. I knew this was a great song.
@@sogondesnuts780 f*ck your generation, get out of here go to listening Taylor Swift. "Like if came here for this series" "This series brought me here"
I’m not a guy, but was there when this song dropped and I’ve carried it thru life and shed many tears. As an infant/toddler, I was daddy’s girl. Divorced when I was 3, remarried when I was 8, promised the moon at 16, married again at 17, had a new baby girl at 18 (2 wks after my 18th bday), my 1st suicide attempt a month later, moved in with me at 26, I moved out at 33, he stopped making house payments and at 37, I had to file bankruptcy. I’ve been very sick the past 5 years, beat breast cancer, in and out of hospitals almost monthly, and he sends me a text when I’m discharged from a hospital. I will always hold this song in my heart and the concert in my mind. However much longer that may be…
This was the soundtrack of my life when my dad left when I was 14 years old. Thanks for this saviour music. A lot of us wouldnt know what to do without the healing powers of the songs.
I haven't spoken to my two kids in over 3 years. Trust me, we all have our demons. I miss them everyday and say gnite to them every night before bed. It kills me but also helps me.
Ever since I heard this on Peacemaker, I related this song to my childhood of being abused by my drug addicted parents and being placed in Foster Homes. Here I am 35 years old in the Military looking to retire, starting to slowly put all that behind me and hoping to live the good life. This song helps me a get through all that when I think about it at times. I absolutely LOVE this song!!!!!
I was 15 yrs old when this song came out, I’m 46 now but I still try to hold back the tears from listening to it, I did grow up with a wonderful dad and he’s still with me to this day thank God, I’m currently going through some issues with my wife (infidelity on her part) and thinking about leaving but I can’t even begin to imagine what my kids will go through without me in the same household, I’ve always been there for them and can’t see myself without them, it’s hard to swallow every emotion I’m feeling and just put it aside
Sounds like she should leave, and you raise the kids. She's a horrible example, and she should just step aside. Then you can find a good wife. All of that would be better for the kids, better for you, and better for her, but really who cares what's best for her at this point. Stop listening to sad songs for now. Best of luck to you.
Charlie Brown thanks for your reply👍....believe me it’s easier said than done, I wish I could leave but the thought of not being with my kids just scares the hell out of me, my inner peace is just gone, I thought I had everything figured out and that there was nothing that could ever break me down, man was i wrong, it sucks that the reality is we as humans are capable of doing very bad things to one another and in the case of an infidelity all you can do is get over it and move on with or without that person, either way you feel destroyed inside, if you end up staying all you do is hope it won’t happen again and that’s something shitty to be having in your head all the time
@@joecuellar6530 I know, it's never so simple. I really feel for you. I've been cheated on by "cimmitted" girlfriends in the past, but so far, bot by my wife, as far as I know anyway. The girlfriends were all caught in a roundabout way, and they lied even after they were caught. It was unbelievable the level of deceit really, and this didn't happen with just one girl. Swore I'd never get married, and then met my wife years later. I was lonely and she seemed different. So far she has been different. Maybe you can find somebody else, somebody honest. I think if my wife cheated, and then stopped,I would maybe wait a few years till my last kid graduated HS, and then divorce, but I really don't know. It's easy for me to throw advice out there without being in your shoes. I think if you meet someone that likes you, and you like them, you should see where it goes with or without a divorce. It would do wonders for your confidence, and sense of value as man, but you are right to think of the kids first in every de decision, but she didn't. It may be impossible to trust her now, and you can't be in a healthy relationship without trust. I wish you, and your kidd, the best possible outcome friend.
Charlie Brown that’s the thing though, I mean in my opinion you never really know a person, If you knew her you would’ve never thought she’d do something like this, I don’t know if you’re a religious person but I am and she is as well which is why this caught me off guard but looking at it from that point of view temptation is around every damn corner and it’s a matter of making the right decision when that moment arrives, I mean she’s asked for forgiveness and I can clearly see she regrets what she did and it has affected her mentally and physically but still somehow that’s not enough for me to trust her....I’ve read all about infidelity and therapy and all that stuff, you know one therapist even said that people that are happy cheat, I mean really??? You as a man do everything right, you give it all for you wife and kids and still your wife still feels the need to risk throwing it all away over a piece of d*ck???? Really???? I don’t understand that one bit, she’s been doing good all her life oh but all of a sudden one day she feels she wants to be a “bad girl” with some other dude, I mean if she was gonna cheat I would assume it’d be with someone better than you but no, this other dude is a total fuck up, I guess it’s the usual case of a woman wanting to hook up with a “bad boy”, I confronted him about it and this mthrfkr looked like he was gonna piss his pants of how scared he was, he’s a lot younger than me (28 and I’m 46) and a lot taller than me and athletic ( I mean I get it, he’s a lot more attractive than I am) and he still denied everything, what a POS....what goes around comes around man, do bad unto others and you’ll get yours one day....I hope you never go through this with your wife
This song hits me so deep especially with my current situation. I know the songs about an absent father but my husband suffered a stroke a few years ago and I'm his soul caregiver with his health on the decline he forgets who I am a lot and I'm watching the one person who is my everything suffer and fade : I'm not trying to fake it and I ain't the one to blame. No there's no one home in my house of the pain. I didn't write these pages and my life's been rearranged. Where were you,...where'd you go... No one's home in my house of pain. Thank you for singing my pain in such a relatable and beautiful way ❤
Song hit just as my mom abandoned us when I was 18 and my brother 15, right after my dad moved away for work. Still carries every one of those emotions I felt back then and I'm 49 now.
We all have our own destiny in life man most kids tdy come from broken mental health homes tdy vicious man dnt know when a person tdy goin to snap we all have a pass man I'm 60 now 😂 love myself bn sober illicts 25 years now an God got our bks peace
This song is to my real father who I never new .but my father that raised me and gave me his name. He did more then the real one could . Thank you Tom you are the real father , I love you .
Peacemaker got me addicted as hell to this song. Episode 4 in the end just touched my heart deep in places I didn’t want to think about but couldn’t help it. Just thinking about what could have been good but never got to that point just more and more of bs
Hold on Bro. It'll be ok. I promise. Lost my mom at home on hospice 8 years ago while I was at her side. I still think of her every day but I'm still living and it's ok.
A little past supper-time I'm still out on the porch step sitting on my behind, Waiting for you. Wondering if everything is alright. Momma said, "Come in boy, don't waste your time." I said, "I've got time. Well, he'll be here soon." Five years old and talking to myself. Where were you? Where'd you go? Daddy, can't you tell? I'm not trying to fake it And I ain't the one to blame. There's no one home In my house of pain. I didn't write these pages And my script's been rearranged. No, there's no one home In my house of pain Wasn't I worth the time? A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time I looked up to you. I paced my room a million times. And all I ever got was one big lie, the same old lie. How could you? Well, I was eighteen and still talking to myself. Where were you? Where'd you go? Daddy can't you tell? I'm not trying to fake it And I ain't the one to blame. There's no one home In my house of pain I didn't write these pages And my script's been rearranged. No, there's no one home In my house of pain [Repeat] And I'm alone again Well, if I learned anything from this... It's how to live on my own.
I agree with you i have 51 on November 21 st and my kitten to whom I was very close to die ! Regardless of that tears come to my mind as I think of my 18 years wasted on heroin for 8 years !!! Now I’ve been fine for 16 years but the temptation is always there!! Hi my dear friend
I was struggling in life and I heard this song and it lifted my heart. I got help and truly my heart started beating again and I'm 2 years sober now. I'm trying so hard to live a better life. Growing up within abuse feels like you have no hope. But there is thru hard work and our father in heavens help.
Hi Connie I'm almost 25 years sober also men an women took advantage of me when I was a kid I'm sixty now can't put a price wth sobriety😂❤ I love myself an God also ur doin gr8 sweety I'm proud of u kpn sober. It's ur destiny in life😂 ur able to function in society like a woman of God ❤😂
Sobriety one day at a time, music is therapeutic to I think as hope and wishing can be mind blowing. In sobriety your not alone find yourself who are your friends, set or create goals within' yourself and myself quit counting the days. You are awesome, courage and words of wisdom cause you are making choice to lead your journey.
HI!I'm a Spanish girl, and listening to this song i Start wondering myself, why we don't have this kind of music in Spain or nowadays. It's so sad, I didn't live 80's, and I'd love to have borned in 80's.
Also graduated in 83,what a long road or path Ive come,molested when I was 5,it damn near killed me whenI realized what happened,got on drugs,started lifting weights,got real violent,wanted to hurt everyone,but God saved me in 2009 and it took Him,now Im in church;I have a life now and its in Jesus Christ!!!!and Im thankful for every day now!!!
Class of 82 . The 80's were the best times for pure Rock and Roll I'm glad I got to be there and experience the best bands in the world in concert. 🤘 ROCK ON AND ROCK HARD 💯 Percent till the day I die.
My sister was good friends with the band and was in a few cover photos in some albums ..she recently passed from cancer and this song really reminds me of her in her best days living her lifestyle
He Died without ever knowing how much I looked up to him, begging for any chance to be with him .... working, fishing, anywhere . Only now as I've gotten older do I comprehend the horrible situation he grew up in , the Horror of World War 2. While I grew up thinking I was the unfortunate one, I now realize he done the best he could with what he had. I love and miss you Dad💜
Almost 50 YEARS NOW, AND I'M WAITING FOR MY DADDY, A BOY NEEDS HIS DADDY. HE STILL HASN'T COME BACK HOME YET! 😭💔🌈✝️Someone Killed him, he's not going to come back home anymore.1973. He's sleeping in the Graveyard right now. R.I.P. Dad. Sleep now, they can't hurt you anymore!💔❤️🔥✝️
I had a dad but was never there for me. A lonely little girl. Always wanted to be a daddies girl. But didn't. He was hard and very strict. It's hard to have a dad there but wasn't there. No love.. still hurting
I'm 43. My dad died 1 years ago. I took care of him at home until he passed. I love that man and miss him so much.
Amen brother! 🙏
My condolences. R.I.P ♥
you are a good person, May God reward you with kindness
I’m so sorry rip
It takes a lot to care for one’s Father in your own house. Stand tall, be strong. I did the same as I watched my father pass 🥲🙏🏻
Killer song. Killer band. They're still rockin'...
🎯
For all the boys at heart who identify with this great song. I used to listen to it in my twenties and feel like I had something to pity myself about. My dad committed suicide when I was 3. Then, I was adopted by a man whose sole aim was to abuse me, physically and psychologically. And believe me, it was vicious. He very nearly succeeded in driving me to suicide. Know what always kept me going? Rock, metal and poetry. Now, I am as driven as anyone and I know no one can break my spirit.
I have three kids now and it is my mission to be the father to them that I never had. This is what angers and infuriates the haters beyond all recognition. They can't stand it when they fail at breaking your spirit.
I raise my cup to all you out there who had to grow up fatherless, both men and women. Stay strong, my fatherless yet unbreakable brothers and sisters.
❤️
This is sad. But also beautiful. Good for you for breaking the cycle ❤️
❤
Man you described it to a t
Keep fighting the good fight brother.
I'm 59. My father died in 2018. I still miss him every day. I was so blessed to have him for as long as I did. We locked horns more than once. But there was NEVER any doubt that he loved and was devoted to his wife and children. He died in my arms of a Friday morning asking me to help him. I couldn't. Sometimes, when I'm alone, even at this advanced age, I just start crying when I think about him. Rest In Peace Dad. You left your pain down here. Thanks for being such a great Dad
Me to I lost mine Sept 15 2021 my birthday is Sept 13
Yes sir as I did mine, left us Dec 10 2017 sad day it was...mis him so much...
Im sorry for your loss glad you had a relationship with your father!I looked for my Dad for years and he never wanted me if he died today I'd laugh 😂 tomorrow but I'm very sorry for your loss
My father is a piece of human garbage if he died today I'd laugh 😂 tomorrow but I love this song seen Faster Pussycats in concert in 95 best concert ever, I'd never do my child like that period and I'm a good person
I'm so sorry for your loss, may god be with him , and may god bless you for strength to carry on.
The fact that i didn't know this song until the recent Peacemaker episode makes me feel embarrased. Such an emotional rollercoaster this song is.
Same here, the lyrics hit me like a fuckin truck.
It's the damn music industry only playing a handful of bands on the radio then they decided to start promoting hip hop over metal.
I also heard it in episode 4 of peacemaker and it's very good song
Yo likewise bro
Its okay it just means that you're young lol
Man, that scene in Peacemaker with this song. Really felt that.
I choked when the rick flag scene popped up
Yeah
It was so good.
Talk about hittin seriously hard. Def the most powerful scene in the whole series so far. I’m no critic or expert but god damn...
RIP Rick
Grew up in the 80s Bro.Hair Bands still rockin in 24'!!!!
and ever yr after
I just became a Grandpa during the Covid!! My dad left me, I stood by my boys and became a single parent in 2009 My oldest boy got married and they just had a boy!!! I see them every chance I get!!! I did Better than my father!!! This song got me through some ugly nights and hollow fights, But I have made it!!!! I WON!!!
You should be proud of yourself for breaking that cycle. My daughters father is on/off drugs and in/out of jail so he's not in her life. I commend you for stepping up and being a father...a great father at that. Much love from SC
Oh, and a huge congratulations on becoming a grandfather!! Thats amazing!
@@katy61 Thank you!!! That was a very warm thing to say... and a strong way to start my day.... Blessings
@@raindeerprojekt4119 you are absolutely and 100% welcome!
That’s awesome, God bless you
Its a song about an absentee father and the pain it caused. Hits home for many children, male AND female. Awesome sad song with major feels.
I had that and felt it to the bone 😢
It goes deeper then that bro my father was there and a good man and I still feel this pain? Why
@@jamesunderdal8976 Why? What happened ?
Foster care@@contentm3893
@@jamesunderdal8976 its just an overall sad song 😂
I worshiped my dad when I was a little boy and still do! He was the best example of what a real man is! Thank you dad for making me the man i am today!
This is about a lost boy growing up without a father
@earlbaumann2302 pretty sure he's aware of that and was thanking HIS father for NOT being thst dad!
Lucky Bastard!
Hits hard. Mixed feelings on my old man. He left me at 17, but reconnected 2 yrs before he passed. It wasn't easy.
Been listening to this song since I was 16
Even with my dad home I still had a lonely childhood. This song can mean a lot to different situations. That’s why so many people love this song
Relates to me walking away from my own son....
I NO YOW YOU FEEL.
Aww bro…..
Jesus came for the broken, and to bring healing to places of pain, that's where he found me, house of pain. May God Bless all who read this, and may Jesus come into your house of pain with healing..
Same ...my childhood wasn't terrible, they provided alot of the tangible things and I wasn't really mistreated in any real particular way. It was though three people living their own individual seperate lives and living together more out of economic necessity than by choice .
Probably the most underrated rock ballad ever......a true classic
I know man it has it all
Was far from being under rated
I agree 100%
@@288ssj suppose what I meant was if u asked someone on the street, they would not know the song. Where as with some other rock ballads, alot of people would be aware of them.
I dont care who you are, if you grew up in the 80's, everytime you hear this song, tears start falling!! "I didn't write these pages and my scripts' been rearranged.......!"
It’s March 2024 and I’m still listening to this hit!
PEACE MAKER
Me too!👍
Me three!
Me Four.. 👍👍
same…. i turned 43 this month. i was just a kid when this one hit MTV. times were a lot different back then compared to today.
I lost my Father due to cancer on 6/23/22. I miss him and what I've lost. I miss and dedicated this to him....he was a wonderful Father, friend and protector....I now live in a house of pain without you..
Love you, Daddy....Now at 47, I miss you. I miss and wish you were here.
This ballad really does tug on my heart strings. My Mum and Dad both divorced when I was 10 years old and I always remember when he left and I wanted to go with him and always thought he was the best dad in the world despite his flaws. I always remember sitting and staring out of my bedroom window waiting for his car to arrive when he promised he would come up and see me and my brothers but time and time again he would fail to turn up as he would be out drinking. My Mum always said when I get older I will see my dad for what he really is. Fast forward to 2022 and now I’m 42 years old and due to get married for the first time in September and he can’t even make the effort to come out on my stag doo. Even today I still always try and see the best in him but sadly he will never change. Can we show some appreciation to all the Mums out there who made our childhood as awesome as possible. ❤️
Bro your comment almost made me cry. I had the exact same thing in my life 🙂
I can totally relate
Mums are the ones who must bear the most pain and yet give out the most
I guess you were born in 1980. I hope all the best in your marriage mate, be the father you always wanted to have, try to forgive, but never forget. I'm 42 years old, too, and I've this kind of "dads" coming back to their children in their old years, begging for forgiveness and try to make up the past years, those years they weren't there. I believe is too late, sort of relationship can be in placed but those years were the were supposed to be there are long gone.
I got those same pair of shoes on, peace to you brotha.
Every father should watch this.
I definitely agree as my husband is in the regret stage of working to provide . They wanted him around 😢😢😢
@@rinaticson390please help your husband to not beat himself up too much. He was out there carving out a space for his family and himself in the world. I think what FP are singing about is a different situation where Dad is NEVER there or “unknown”. That’s not your reality. Your man was out there working his ass off to carve out a chunk of this world for himself and his family. Try to assuage his guilt as much as possible. Remember it’s quality (devices and tv off) not quantity that REALLY matters, and it’s never too late to start.
And absent mothers too!
@@jhgillmd i have told him that.
This song says never allow your emotions to take that energy into a negative! Turn it into a positive ❤ you'll feel it when you do
Feeling it now… thanks 😅
Who's badass enough to be listening to this in 2024
I am!
I know every lyric! 🫶❤️🙌
I grew up to this
I am I just posted it on my Facebook
@@michaelvaresi7296 same here
My brother played this for our bio dad after he finally returned, years after he had abandoned us. It was short lived and the only time I ever saw any slight emotion out of him in regard to the pain my brother and I felt. This song will always hold a special place in my soul.
To everyone ✌️
Sorry to hear that, somewhere down the lonely road of life there in sight peice of mind and you will know when to turn there.
YA I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF MY BROTHER
I'm 47 and my bio just rolled into my life, I was 9 when he split, he can pound sand, I got better shit to do than get to know him
@@joshhall2715 I know better , you say he can pound sand , but there will always be that part of you buried deep inside of you
That hurts, but you really should put your hand out. Not trying to defend him but maybe he just can't find the words and don't know how to reach out so you could be the bigger man , or you can just tell me to F*** off , and I will F*** off but you know I'm right about deep inside you
I wish the best to anyone that's been through something like this or any other form of childhood trauma of which there are many.
Swap this with my mother and this song resonates with me since the day it released.
40 years later and I finally learn it was my father and stepmother who scared her away to the point she was never around.
I recall I had to sneak out a couple of times just to get picked up yet I always thought she didn't want to be around.
Parents fighting and pulling BS like this are among a plethora of reasons we grow up scarred, broken, or worse.
This was only one of many trauma's I dealt with.
I think a lot of parents don't realize how our childhood environment shapes us. More than a lot of people want to admit.
Peacemaker and Vigilante, Real American Heroes, Definitely Not Jokes!!!
Side Note: James Gunn needs to put together song collections, the guy is like a song guru. Also love how in 5 minutes he takes a show from being goofy to being more serious then most dramas
The Peacemaker playlist on Spotify.
I just arrived here After watching Peacemaker episode 4💔
Exactly
Cena can act thats for sure cuz damn!
i was literally just saying this james gunn has the best fucking taste in music
I wish we had this today I miss my music like this.. For you MICHAEL CAAMAÑO ❤ REST IN PARADISE MY FRIEND THIS WAY ONE OF YOUR FAVORITES
Love this song, wish Dad could have made our relationship better...only if he taken the time..
Can relate so much.Only thing is I'll never know....He passed away over 12 years ago, I never asked...
I should have, my regret...
" In my house of pain"
But mom was there, she filled his shoes...Now she's been gone now for 4yrs... Such a sad story, the positive side I will share is my kids had Love in our home, Wife & I married over 24 years now. Our kids grew up better then we did, for that is my Blessings... I was able to give them a better life....
" In our house of Love"
You and me both brother. Mom packed me up with my sister when I was 7 and moved us 1500 miles away from pops. Didn't have him in my life till I was in my early twenties but by then it's too late. A boy needs his father to learn what it means to be a man.
Who cares
💔
My dad passed away when I was 12 Dec 8th 1991 with me who kicked a door down after he Shot himself, he owed a lot of money to a spot.... I will never tell the situation, however I went in an tried to hold his arteries together, blood all over my face ,clothes etc. Its been 30yrs. I still haven't been able to forgive him an my mother passed June 2nd 2021 of cancer. My child has nothing to do with because they say that, I'm off the chain. I can't express this enough, please don't tell a child something an do the opposite. My son is now 22 has nothing to do with because of the fact I cheated!!!!!!!!! I feel my dad would be alive, if I wouldn't have given him my shells...........
However, I was a great father to my son! Can't how he looks at it but...... He chose to live opposite an live off his money Grandfather on my wife's side since he was going through bull from his mother!! My thoughts is stay together forever. E 2022
Just played this song for my 13 year old daughter and I sat there explaining the song to her, telling her I have done everything possible so she and her brothers and sisters didn’t grow up without a father in their home, I’m still here 30 years strong with my wife and all my kids, and now a Poppa of 5!!!
No one and nobody
Well done! ❤️

my step dad told me he was proud of me once .....fucking prick
That's a double edge sword sometimes those step parents are just good to you so they can have that lonely mom with kids , but at least you had some one

I cry every time. And I had a great dad. But this song is no joke for those poor kids. And I love the fuck out of mine.
Only people that have lived this can truly feel it imo, Faster Pussycat was waaaay underrated.... long live the 80's
Welcome to 80 s women got rigts and leaving lol mRched with my Mom in DC for ERA EQUAL RIGHTS mendment totally a different world don't equal it too civil rights for blacks whole different thing not the beaver days with June women want money for the same job and Damn right the should have it
We got to feel like it was just for us. I think the guys were really just loving the life. Live at the Roxy, I'll never forget it.
They were underrated. This is nostalgic ❤
God, I wish I could go back to that time, especially if I could know what I do now!
The cars were better, the music was WAY better, and people weren't overly sensitive little crybabies.
So true
I’m honestly really surprised how many people didn’t know about this song after peacemaker
Like this is such a great 80s song
James Gunn always picks lesser known songs, but his taste in music is really good
Just watched the recent episode. Wow this song hits on a different level
Just reminded me of this great sing song
I think part of why so many people have come back to this iconic song as if it’s totally new is that a lot of people don’t really look back at the hair metal scene with the same rose colored glasses that other genres have.
Hair metal kind of has a negative corny perception typically, So it seems a lot of people don’t look back on it as much, atleast from my experience
I feel ashamed to say that I didn't know this song... I know the lyrics from The White Buffalo - House Of Pain (didn't know it was a cover, I recommend everyone to listen to it, it's a really good cover).
This song really hits home now that I’m days away from losing my father to pancreatic cancer . He wasn’t there when I was a kid but he’s been here since I’ve grown up . I call him everyday to see how he is doing and wether he’s in pain or not . I love that man with all I’ve got . My mother was taken back in 2013 and here it is the end of dec 22.. He just said the other day that he would like a few more years . But that’s just not in the cards and I know it . I love you daddy . I’m sure gonna miss you. I’m 50 yrs old and cryin like a little kid . Whew , can’t help it .sorry. Update - he’s on his deathbed now . He just had a birthday. You know when I was a kid he literally beat the crap out of me , but I’d take all those beatings again to have him around for a while longer . Someone told me that when they lost their dad it was like losing a child and I get it now . I’m going back to visit next weekend if he makes another week . I’m not able to hold it together when I see him in that shape . I know he’s so scared . I can hear it in his voice . I’m just losing it right now . Update , it’s now may the 9th . He’s in a hospital bed at home under hospice care . The hospice nurse said yesterday that he might not make it through the night . He made it through the night but it’s just anytime now . I’m praying for him as hard as I can pray that he makes it to heaven . I’m sure gonna miss him . I’m dreading this so bad . But I don’t want him to suffer anymore. I love you dad . Please please lord accept his soul into your mighty kingdom . Dad I’ll look for you when it’s my time to go . Edit - it’s may 10th and he took his last breath at 9:34pm . I cried so hard at the funeral I was hyperventilating. People I haven’t seen in 40 years were there trying to ease my mind . He was a retired police officer of over 50 years so it was like a military funeral. Through all the crying and trying to breath , what really made me so very proud of my dad is when they closed the casket there was a very tall and large black fella dressed in what looked to be similar to a marine stood in front of dad facing him and did a salute that sent chills over everybody in the chapel . This has been the hardest time I’ve ever had to go through . During the burial the next day which was yesterday, they gave him a 21 gun salute and played bagpipes . It was really something seeing that many people showing that much respect . I’m gonna miss you dad . I love you . Edit - here it is 3 weeks after my dads death and I’m still having insane crying fits . I mean it’s so bad that it makes me feel like I cant carry on without him in this world . One thing that I’ve learned is how important it is to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you .
@chrisschamb, hey . I wanted to say ,, I'm sorry....very much.
Chris, I am sorry you're going through this with your dad. I will keep you both in my prayers and wish the best for you. My dad was there for me, but he wasn't. He was a beerman for Budweiser back in the 70's. When he wasn't drinking, he was a loving caring father, but when he drank, he was a totally different person. I wound up moving out at 15 in 1980 and going to live with my mother because the drinking and arguing got to be to much. In 2000, I finally talked my dad into coming to live with us. He always told me that he never wanted to be a burden on his kids and it took me forever to get him to to come live with us, but once he did, I think he was the happiest he'd been in years and didn't regret it. He picked at my wife and kids all the time and they loved to pick at him. He no longer smoke or drank so it was back to the best of my dad. He told me once when we were talking that he wished he'd have been a better father. I told him "Well dad, I've gotten some pretty bad ass whippings from you but it wasn't for nothing that I didn't deserve. Not once did I ever think you didn't love me." There wasn't anything I wanted that I didn't get. Well, except for a motorcycle. I never did talk him into that. 😁 My dad passed away in 2011. His passing was the only death I've ever witnessed. I was holding his hand when he passed away. Messed me up. When the Coroner came, I heard him tell another guy that the time of death was 3.00 am. I told him "don't put my dad's time of death at 3.00 am." When he asked me why I told him "That's the Devils hr. Don't put my dad's death at 3.00 am." He put it at 2:59 am. I would give everything I've got if it would bring back my dad. But I know that'll never be. I'll just hold onto the memories. I wish the best for you and your dad.
@@richardbuchli4071 My dad never got me a motorcycle or a mini bike . I begged and begged . On Christmas morning I’d run down stairs and not see a mini bike and I just went back upstairs. I took some major beatings from him when I was young. He would literally beat me until I crapped myself . No joke . I remember so far back because my mom and dad cheated on each other and took their anger out on me . I remember so much . They finally divorced and me and my mom moved away. . I didn’t see him again until I was 14. My mother remarried a guy she barley knew and he murdered her back in 2013 . Had to have her funeral on my 40th birthday. That was hard . I still dream about my mother all the time . I can tell my dad is sorry for everything when I talk to him now. .
Damn brother! Your childhood sounds as messed up as mine was. Yeah I moved away from my dad in 1980 and went to live with my mom. But truth be told. I jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Worst mistake I ever made. I went from just listening to my dad and stepmom yelling at each other, tearing the house all to pieces to someone who directed their anger at me. Yelling and cussing me, hit me a few times, but the worst was the mind games. She turned my sister against me. My sister and I talk now and she is sorry for what she did to me but that close bond I had with her is gone because I don't trust her anymore. I was constantly stressed out. Imagine being in a situation where you knew whatever you said, no matter what, someone was going to start yelling and cussing you. I took that s**t when I was younger, but when I got to be around 17 or 18 my mother got up in my face yelling and cussing me. I was waiting for her to hit me but she didn't because I think she realized that time I was going to hit her back. And i wasn't going to stop beating on her Chris. I had a very violent and defensive temper back then. On into my early 30's. My wife helped me alot with my anger issues, to a point I can say I feel normal again. People that come from a good family, they just don't understand how someone can be so angry. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I think the only thing where I benefited from that was I was only tested one time in high school in Auto Mechanics. The Juniors and Seniors would initiate you in thas class by beating the hell out of you. I was a Sophomore. I told them they weren't going to beat on me. This Senior grabbed me and I slammed him into the lockers. Grabbed him by the front of the shirt, picked him up off the floor, slammed him into the lockers again and then started tightening his shirt around his throat. I did that for a few seconds, dropped him and stepped back. I was waiting for him to take a swing at me but it never came. I never had anymore problems after that. I wish you the best brother. I hope the future holds nothing but peace and happiness for you.👍
Almost the same thing happened with me and my parents. Lost my hubby in 16, mom 17, dad 18 and my middle son (my wayward son) in 20. I keep hearing this dang song in my head bc of my youngest. He never got his dad to love him. Even when there was a little brief time it went back to the same old thing... His dad was too busy. I'm so glad you got time with your daddy. I'm glad I got a little bit with mine. If you pray, pray for my son. It's killing me seeing him turn colder and hate consumed. Idk what to do
Still listening in 2024... Almost 2025...
"This very second, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They are either lonely, they are missing somebody, they are depressed, they are hurt, they are scarred of the past, they are having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you would not believe. They wish, they dream, and they hope. And this very second, they are sitting here reading these words, and I am writing this for you, so you do not feel alone anymore. Always remember, do not be depressed about the past, do not worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great, do not worry! Tomorrow's a new beginning. After reading, please share this, to make someone else feel better. Have a Blessed day my Friend!" 😊
Thank you for writing these powerful words. You can't imagine how much they helped me at such a devastating time in my life. Godbless you🙏🤘😌
Thank you and your right
@@bamagal4vr not only did i look up to him i idealized him
You said it dead on it. I grew up alone no brothers or sisters , no family, no friends where I lived no nothing till 86-87 and I got my first rock tape and heard a song played at school talent show that I found my friend and true love DRUMS. The music ,the bands, the power ballads all left life changing events with ever song I hear from them memories. Some good some bad and some hurt 30 yrs later...to my first love and all my friends from back then R.I.P. I miss you.
Thank you for reminding me... I feel so alone sometimes and that nobody understands me and I’m 45 yrs old lol
🙏✌️🇺🇸🌎
People always make fun of the "hair metal" bands, but those bands could all play real instruments, and write their own songs.They actually had talent, whether you liked them or not !!!
People that make fun of "hair metal" bands don't know shit about music. It really is a lost era of brilliance that will never get the respect that is due
Agreed. It's impossible to write a song that's terrifying yet beautifully gorgeous at the same time... The guitars "spoke" as much as the vocals and lyrics, and that's not an easy job..... I miss it... I swore it'd come back around, but it looks like all we will ever have is this brilliance to look back on. 💕
That's all I've ever listened to. Hair metal, metal, rock n roll. I grew up in the 80s so thankfully all my friends listened to same music. Rap is crap with no talent.
This is real music no that electric reggaeton hip hop rap, shit that radio stations play today that Crap is not music is pure garbage
alot better then today's crappy music
This song is for my Dad. I never knew him and he died in 1997. I am now 44 years old. I miss someone I never knew. He is HALF of ME. I'm allowed to miss. This is for YOU K.L.R.
I can relate .❤
I think the real father we have would be the one in haven. Its worth noting that Jesus taught us to pray, "Our Father in haven.." and not "Our God who is in haven".
@@Hehehe-hf7rq well said. And our Heavenly Father is always there in our house of pain.
I am so sorry for you i am 55 years and my father left us when i was 5 he died ten years ago miss a dad i dont even remember!
@@timwildermuth2929 l was 5 years old too when my Dad left. About 6 years ago, l was told he was my adopted dad and this was after he passed away. So the video does remind me of him growing up. He visited me on Saturdays and holidays. Always late for the most part when he would visit.
I get way to emotional listening to this, i grew up with nine siblings and my father treated me like i wasn't part of the family. He passed away at 83 years old in 2022, it's sad because he never got to know me and how much respect i gave him without receiving any in return. Sorry, just thought I'd share that with you peeps.
"I think I might have made things worse." - Vigilante/Adrian
"Five years old and talking to myself". Fast forward to "18 and still talking to myself". Those lyrics just rip my heart out. If you have no intention of caring for your children, don't have any. #heartbreaking
Just say heartbreaking
Absomuthafknlutley
Amen, Targeted, if you don't WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALY LIKE as well as LOVE children why bring them into this world which can be so cruel and unforgiving??? Targeted, from your comment it's clear that this is still affecting you. Deeply. Honey my heart and prayers go out to you! 🤗= me praying for you
😇= peace for you
😘= me sending love for your soul
Last but not least 😜😉😧😏= me just trying to make you smile....
@@rachelboone734 May God bless you maddam. I 💯 percent agree with you I don't care if anyone likes me as long as I hear.. daddy . Lord knows I have stumbled in life but fell more times than I can count but one thing is for sure I love my kids and by the way the old cruel world is I want the opportunity to show my kids how to treat others, and not have taxpayer money for nonsense classes hell I can play a game with my kids don't need a paid babysitter for an HR. However God bless
I’m 40 and still talking to myself. My dad left us when I was 5 to start a new family. Those emotional scars never heal. He’s dead now and I never got to tell him how I felt. Growing up with daddy issues is a tough bitch.
This song really fit into Peacemaker so perfectly today. Made me cry for Chris.
My Husband passed when my son was 10, not long after he started playing this alone in his room, I Love this song but brings me tears too
I can relate. Military kid, we moved all the time, he was deployed most of my childhood. By 8, I learned to keep to myself .
Seeing Rick Flag was heartbroken. Gunn is amazing.
All the recent discoverers of this song, we all know why we're here. Peacemaker is a baller show.
Also, side note. My dad has always been a deadbeat addict and I was just desperate to have someone to look up to and I wanted it to be my old man. In my early years he'd never come home and as we both got older, in other ways he wasn't home. I wish things could have been different. It crushes me every day and no one in my life realises.
Came from a similar place but it wasn't my Dad it was my mom and I to have know this song a long time , it's one I haven't visited in a long time , some memories you gotta be in the right space to want to revisit
This is a really touching song sons need their dads for sure.
Loving nurturing dads. Too many dads back then leaving out on their sons
MY father never had time for me and I could never understand why. In my 40's I got a call from a aunt saying he needed help so took care of him his last seven years of his life (dementia). I was so pissed at first then the day before he passed (cancer)I told him I love ya dad and then he said I love you so clear, I forgave him in that moment. This song help me in my teen years knowing I wasn't alone but I was. I tell my son I love you everyday and he is twenty eight.. Love your kids they never asked to be born.
This song was and will always be my childhood.
my dad left when i was 8, at this point im 14 years old. I miss my dad everyday and this song makes me shed a tear every time i hear it
I'm 52 but I still cry every time I see this video.
“A boy boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime”,…that’s where I tear-up.
Alcohol and War changed my father I shed a tear every time I hear it and see the video
No need to cry .... ;)
Cant hold my tears after listening to this again, my school teacher used to play this, House of pain, Silent Lucidity to us when we were in Hostel.A few years ago, found out that he died, he suffered at lot during those days but he always smiled, he had a good heart.This songs for him. RIP SIR ALEX 🙏
Thank you peacemaker, for introducing me to this powerful song
Im man enough to admit, the hardest I had ever cried was when I was stuck in traffic at 19 yo and this song came on.....felt like this song was about me and somehow these guys knew. Sucks that so many of us lived through that. My son will never know that pain.
Just means your human man, lived that video myself. Really hits sometimes when you look back at the men we have become and realize our fathers will never really know the real us. They missed out along with us missing out on them being there guiding us through life like a father should.
Yes...
One of the greatest ballads ever written. Ever.
Absolutely right
Peacemaker definitely hit it out of the park with this song, and it brings back so many memories from the MTV era. We wore this song out. Must have listened to this 60 times since The episode.
Thank James Gunn. Peacemaker and guardians of the galaxy have excellent soundtracks
who cares about your series, screw you and your series too, we didn't know this for a fashion
@@crimsonidol69 god forbid people enjoy something
What’s Peacemaker?
Yes l,bro
The guitar solos of this era will NEVER be outdone.
Just,epic..
Crazy how this song actually describes how so many of us grew up. Parents permanently scaring their kids lives . Kids need both parents.
Your so right , i was gonna send this song to my ex wife, she left our son and i cant help but wonder what it would be like if things were different

@@calnelson8578 shame, i am frank, shame on her to leave a son. Everybody grows old. She will sure regret it when she looks back. No family is like TV ads. We just trued to stick together. No family is therw thay are fully satisfied over things. But family is fanily. It sure pays up in the end we just love how we all bonded. Withoht loves, love for family, life is always hard. But with love, true love, everything is not too hard.out of love, we bear each other' s burden, problems, and thers nothing love cannot overcome. she, your ex wife will find out when its too late..
I agree
Awesome song i can definitely relate to song because my Dad was an alcoholic and i remember waiting for him and he didn't show up.
Looked this up immediately after finishing episode 4 of peacemaker. great song 👍👍
me too
Same here brother and I’ve always been a devoted 70s and 80s rock fan so this one really hit home plate for me🤘🏻
Peacemaker brought me back to this. Great song choice for a hell of an episode.
Peacemaker brought me here. Such a great scene. As soon as it started the first chord I knew what song they were playing. Perfect song for the scene. This song has nearly been forgotten from that era of metal/rock. Even as a kid. I knew this was a great song.

One underrated group!One favorite song,no one in my house pain!
I just wanna give Peacemaker and Vigilante a hug
I’m not a guy, but was there when this song dropped and I’ve carried it thru life and shed many tears. As an infant/toddler, I was daddy’s girl. Divorced when I was 3, remarried when I was 8, promised the moon at 16, married again at 17, had a new baby girl at 18 (2 wks after my 18th bday), my 1st suicide attempt a month later, moved in with me at 26, I moved out at 33, he stopped making house payments and at 37, I had to file bankruptcy. I’ve been very sick the past 5 years, beat breast cancer, in and out of hospitals almost monthly, and he sends me a text when I’m discharged from a hospital. I will always hold this song in my heart and the concert in my mind. However much longer that may be…
Stay strong, all the best to you.
your mom liked assholes, and it seems you like them too. Find a nice guy, and be happy. Stop chasing guys that are dicks, problem solved.
You don’t need to be a man, everyone is welcome here
I hope that God looks down on you, and blesses you, for the remainder of your life. ....God bless you...
Didn’t realize how good this song was until I became a father. I’m sorry, but I just can’t
hold the tears.
Long live Faster Pussycat.
She was seriously she was the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen.
Man... episode 4 of Pacemaker hit like a truck...
I know. Now we know the character. He acts like a child because inside he is still a hurt child
MOST UNDERRATED SONG, EVER!!!
This was the soundtrack of my life when my dad left when I was 14 years old. Thanks for this saviour music. A lot of us wouldnt know what to do without the healing powers of the songs.
Wyd i mean where are you
?
I haven't spoken to my two kids in over 3 years. Trust me, we all have our demons. I miss them everyday and say gnite to them every night before bed. It kills me but also helps me.
They deserved a better father but it is what it is.
My home is my house of pain
Thanks Dudes
Ever since I heard this on Peacemaker, I related this song to my childhood of being abused by my drug addicted parents and being placed in Foster Homes. Here I am 35 years old in the Military looking to retire, starting to slowly put all that behind me and hoping to live the good life. This song helps me a get through all that when I think about it at times. I absolutely LOVE this song!!!!!
I got about 19 months till I retire. Song definitely hits to mood today
James Gunn made Peacemaker so we could all reevaluate our relationship with hair metal. This shit has levels to it.
I was 15 yrs old when this song came out, I’m 46 now but I still try to hold back the tears from listening to it, I did grow up with a wonderful dad and he’s still with me to this day thank God, I’m currently going through some issues with my wife (infidelity on her part) and thinking about leaving but I can’t even begin to imagine what my kids will go through without me in the same household, I’ve always been there for them and can’t see myself without them, it’s hard to swallow every emotion I’m feeling and just put it aside
Joe God bless you for being a real man. Hard to find these days. Hope it gets better for you. Keep pushing for those kids.
Sounds like she should leave, and you raise the kids. She's a horrible example, and she should just step aside. Then you can find a good wife. All of that would be better for the kids, better for you, and better for her, but really who cares what's best for her at this point. Stop listening to sad songs for now. Best of luck to you.
Charlie Brown thanks for your reply👍....believe me it’s easier said than done, I wish I could leave but the thought of not being with my kids just scares the hell out of me, my inner peace is just gone, I thought I had everything figured out and that there was nothing that could ever break me down, man was i wrong, it sucks that the reality is we as humans are capable of doing very bad things to one another and in the case of an infidelity all you can do is get over it and move on with or without that person, either way you feel destroyed inside, if you end up staying all you do is hope it won’t happen again and that’s something shitty to be having in your head all the time
@@joecuellar6530 I know, it's never so simple. I really feel for you. I've been cheated on by "cimmitted" girlfriends in the past, but so far, bot by my wife, as far as I know anyway. The girlfriends were all caught in a roundabout way, and they lied even after they were caught. It was unbelievable the level of deceit really, and this didn't happen with just one girl. Swore I'd never get married, and then met my wife years later. I was lonely and she seemed different. So far she has been different. Maybe you can find somebody else, somebody honest. I think if my wife cheated, and then stopped,I would maybe wait a few years till my last kid graduated HS, and then divorce, but I really don't know. It's easy for me to throw advice out there without being in your shoes. I think if you meet someone that likes you, and you like them, you should see where it goes with or without a divorce. It would do wonders for your confidence, and sense of value as man, but you are right to think of the kids first in every de decision, but she didn't. It may be impossible to trust her now, and you can't be in a healthy relationship without trust. I wish you, and your kidd, the best possible outcome friend.
Charlie Brown that’s the thing though, I mean in my opinion you never really know a person, If you knew her you would’ve never thought she’d do something like this, I don’t know if you’re a religious person but I am and she is as well which is why this caught me off guard but looking at it from that point of view temptation is around every damn corner and it’s a matter of making the right decision when that moment arrives, I mean she’s asked for forgiveness and I can clearly see she regrets what she did and it has affected her mentally and physically but still somehow that’s not enough for me to trust her....I’ve read all about infidelity and therapy and all that stuff, you know one therapist even said that people that are happy cheat, I mean really??? You as a man do everything right, you give it all for you wife and kids and still your wife still feels the need to risk throwing it all away over a piece of d*ck???? Really???? I don’t understand that one bit, she’s been doing good all her life oh but all of a sudden one day she feels she wants to be a “bad girl” with some other dude, I mean if she was gonna cheat I would assume it’d be with someone better than you but no, this other dude is a total fuck up, I guess it’s the usual case of a woman wanting to hook up with a “bad boy”, I confronted him about it and this mthrfkr looked like he was gonna piss his pants of how scared he was, he’s a lot younger than me (28 and I’m 46) and a lot taller than me and athletic ( I mean I get it, he’s a lot more attractive than I am) and he still denied everything, what a POS....what goes around comes around man, do bad unto others and you’ll get yours one day....I hope you never go through this with your wife
This song hits me so deep especially with my current situation. I know the songs about an absent father but my husband suffered a stroke a few years ago and I'm his soul caregiver with his health on the decline he forgets who I am a lot and I'm watching the one person who is my everything suffer and fade : I'm not trying to fake it and I ain't the one to blame. No there's no one home in my house of the pain. I didn't write these pages and my life's been rearranged. Where were you,...where'd you go...
No one's home in my house of pain.
Thank you for singing my pain in such a relatable and beautiful way ❤
completely forgot about this song. thanks Peacemaker
Wow, those goosebumps... seems, my heart is still there, somewhere. Awesome song!
Song hit just as my mom abandoned us when I was 18 and my brother 15, right after my dad moved away for work. Still carries every one of those emotions I felt back then and I'm 49 now.
I can fell for you brother
We all have our own destiny in life man most kids tdy come from broken mental health homes tdy vicious man dnt know when a person tdy goin to snap we all have a pass man I'm 60 now 😂 love myself bn sober illicts 25 years now an God got our bks peace
Didn't grow up with a mother . Every mothers day was hard. I had a daughter but her mom passed away. Were both mother less.
I remember this song; takes me back to when the 80's metal was about to fade out then the 90's grunge came in. I miss the 80's metal 🤘☠️🤘
This song is to my real father who I never new .but my father that raised me and gave me his name. He did more then the real one could . Thank you Tom you are the real father , I love you .
Thank you James for showing us this song and how great peacemaker is
Peacemaker got me addicted as hell to this song. Episode 4 in the end just touched my heart deep in places I didn’t want to think about but couldn’t help it. Just thinking about what could have been good but never got to that point just more and more of bs
a beautiful ballad of best years.
October 29, 2024 and at 59 I'm still rocking to the best music ever
Peacemaker brought me here. First time I heard this awesome song.
My dad died just a couple hours ago. We had a very estranged back and forth relationship. This song hits hard right now as I'm processing.
I'm sorry for your loss Bill. You stay strong.
Sorry Bill, I hope you are better now!
I bet, I'm sincerely sorry for your loss!
Hold on Bro. It'll be ok. I promise. Lost my mom at home on hospice 8 years ago while I was at her side. I still think of her every day but I'm still living and it's ok.

I always think what did I do wrong
I'm 43 years old still waiting for my dad xx
A little past supper-time
I'm still out on the porch step sitting on my behind,
Waiting for you.
Wondering if everything is alright.
Momma said, "Come in boy, don't waste your time." I said, "I've got time.
Well, he'll be here soon."
Five years old and talking to myself.
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy, can't you tell?
I'm not trying to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame.
There's no one home
In my house of pain.
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged.
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
Wasn't I worth the time?
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time
I looked up to you.
I paced my room a million times.
And all I ever got was one big lie, the same old lie.
How could you?
Well, I was eighteen and still talking to myself.
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy can't you tell?
I'm not trying to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame.
There's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged.
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
[Repeat]
And I'm alone again
Well, if I learned anything from this... It's how to live on my own.

I agree with you i have 51 on November 21 st and my kitten to whom I was very close to die ! Regardless of that tears come to my mind as I think of my 18 years wasted on heroin for 8 years !!! Now I’ve been fine for 16 years but the temptation is always there!! Hi my dear friend
You and me to brother
Same here man . I’m two yrs behind you but I know the pain bro
Just heard this song on the show Peacemaker, and I had to listen to it again.
I was lucky to be adopted by the greatest man to ever walk the earth. Still didn't kill the pain
I was struggling in life and I heard this song and it lifted my heart. I got help and truly my heart started beating again and I'm 2 years sober now. I'm trying so hard to live a better life. Growing up within abuse feels like you have no hope. But there is thru hard work and our father in heavens help.
Hi Connie I'm almost 25 years sober also men an women took advantage of me when I was a kid I'm sixty now can't put a price wth sobriety😂❤ I love myself an God also ur doin gr8 sweety I'm proud of u kpn sober. It's ur destiny in life😂 ur able to function in society like a woman of God ❤😂
Sobriety one day at a time, music is therapeutic to I think as hope and wishing can be mind blowing. In sobriety your not alone find yourself who are your friends, set or create goals within' yourself and myself quit counting the days. You are awesome, courage and words of wisdom cause you are making choice to lead your journey.
HI!I'm a Spanish girl, and listening to this song i Start wondering myself, why we don't have this kind of music in Spain or nowadays. It's so sad, I didn't live 80's, and I'd love to have borned in 80's.
Do you have FB??
80's is really have the best songs ever like bon jovi def leffard. White lion. Firehouse scorpion poison.chep trick.and many more
Maybe to afraid, to put down their real feelings 😓
In spain there were the Heroes de silencio!them were a great band in the early 90s
There were bands like this in Spain...all over Europe, really. Its for sure an American thing, but it was everywhere at the time.
High school class of 83...man this music gives me chills up and down my spine...these memories will never die
Never!!! This is the realist song we'll ever hear... 80s forever bro! Till i die

What a heartbreaking beautiful song.
This song makes me wanna be the best parent to my kids, just love them so much and just to imagine not being around for them makes my cry
My sister was good friends with the band and was in a few cover photos in some albums ..she recently passed from cancer and this song really reminds me of her in her best days living her lifestyle
I’m sorry to hear that. I bet she had a lot of great memories
Peacemaker sent me here. Anyone else? Been years since I've heard this, but dammit it still hits emotions HARD
He Died without ever knowing how much I looked up to him, begging for any chance to be with him .... working, fishing, anywhere . Only now as I've gotten older do I comprehend the horrible situation he grew up in , the Horror of World War 2. While I grew up thinking I was the unfortunate one, I now realize he done the best he could with what he had. I love and miss you Dad💜
Sorry
Thank you Peacemaker 🤘🎶
