My mom couldnt keep fighting and passed yesterday. This song has meant a lot to me for a long time but now its a whole new level. I doubt you read comments connor but thank you for more than you will ever know. I miss my best friend.
My mom just passed away, I can't even explain the pain. It's horrible how to think that I will never hear her voice again or hug her. She was a gift to me, my is really broke.
Not that they aren’t equally valid emotions, but it surprises me how many comments focus on the relationship of mother and child, whereas the lyrics are totally about the father’s relationship with the child. In any event, it astounds me that anybody could sing this song, without having to stop in the middle to cry.
i found this song from the movie stuck in love, anybody else? i instantly fell in love, i was thinking, if you guys liked this song please please please listen to the song between the bars by elliot smith, its only 2 minutes and its amazing :) thank you (when you listen to it close your eyes and just listen to the lyrics)
I listen to between the bars on the phone kept under the pillow before going to bed with one of my ears on the pillow. I love stuck in love. P.S. also 'perks of being a wallflower'
I listen to this song every time I miss my mother. She's been gone for 10 years. She used to listen to all the brighteyes albums with me as a teenager driving me around town. We really bonded over your music. I only recently discovered this song of yours about a year ago but I know she'd have lived to hear it if she was alive still. Your music really keeps me hanging on.
I can't say I ever imagined the day I'd see children and infants in a Conor video. ....then again I never thought I'd hear a song like this from him. Growing up with him the past ten years, I smile every time I hear him say even a few phrases in this. It's just a great thing to see Conor's growth, too. It's incredibly sweet. Gives me hope for my hard heart.
OurPeanutGallerie I remember listening to the earlier Bright Eyes albums as a preteen. If someone had showed me this song I wouldn't have believed it was Conor.
I thought... when I had my first kid, that it would be the only time I would feel that I had found a new purpose in life. But then, I had another. I felt it again and thought I wouldnt have that feeling again. Then I heard this song. I felt that feeling all over again. Recently I had my 3rd kid and hes a new born. I listened to this song and I felt it even stronger. Conor, you have created a masterpiece that now recreates the best feeling there is in life. Any milestone, any age, I will hear this song and feel that again. That reminder that this is the main purpose of my life now and I couldnt be happier! Thanks so much!
In two days it will be five years since I was divorced, and was basically just kicked out of my life. Every time I hear the end of this song, "now that you're grown, may you never feel this alone", I think of my wonderful son, and just feel crushed.
Absolutely awesome! These children are the cutest which I've ever seen. I really love the moment at the end, when the poster on the Conor's back falls, and he doesn't care about that, just smiles beautifully. He didn't used to smile very often... but now this happens to him sometimes (Oh, not SOMETIMES, almost all the time.). It's great to see him happy.
I remember the day you appeared on this earth With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt From my camera angle it looked like it hurt But your mama had a big old smile We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin Packed a few things and drove you back again Stayed up all night worrying, wondering What was gonna make it better Broken bones heal if you set them right Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide Our love's a protective poison But you are your mother's child And she'll keep you for a while Oh one day you'll be grown, then you'll be on your own Halloween costume, looking real cute With your pillowcase full, in your astronaut suit Your cousin, the cowboy, he's eyeing your loot Better watch your Snickers bar Out on the diamond, and you're up to bat Chewing your big league, adjusting your hat Taking a swing and hearing it crack Look at that apple fly Tears will dry if you give them time Life's a roller coaster, keep your arms inside Fear that's a big emotion But you are your mother's child And she'll have you for a while But some day you'll be grown, then you'll be on your own Posing for pictures, cap and a gown Summer is coming, you're driving around town Everyone's asking what you're gonna do now I know you're gonna make a splash And find you a sweetheart to treat you so kind Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight What I couldn't teach you, soon you'll realize She's the only thing that matters Although he's a bastard, make your papa proud Your a fine young man and I got no doubt That you're gonna do this better 'Cause you are your mother's child She had you for a while But now that you are grown, and you're making it on your own Well now that you're grown, may you never be on your own
i really felt it n made me cry. i thought there will not b a day on earth that i will cry coz of some movie or song but this song made me cry. LOVE YOU MUMMY
My nephew graduated today and this song has been stuck in my head all day along with a lot of tears. His mom, my sister, loved Conor Oberst and she passed away over a decade ago.
Conor, you have always been a creative inspiration, an inconsequential muse, and owe my style of poetry to your confessional, lucid lyrics. I remember listening to you back when I just figured out what angst was. I missed your show in Cooperstown, NY. I want to meet you, and those aren't the casual words of a creeper. An acquired, unacquainted friend.
I think, for my generation, this & Lauryn Hill's To Zion are as good as it gets! Such different artists but both capture how amazing having little boys is.
I’m thinking of using this for my mother/son dance wedding. Reminds me a lot of the relationship I have with my mom and the line about being a fine young man was the last thing my grandpa said to me before he passed (he was took over the father figure for me when my dad left)
Conor is a great singer! not the normal type of music i would listen to, but i would anyways! Because see his father was my doctor when i was a kid!!! We lived in Council Bluffs, Iowa right across the Missouri River from Omaha!!! and my mom would take me to Doctor Oberst for annual check ups!! Saw in the paper that Conor moved back to Omaha with his new album looming! not bad Conor not bad!!!
I just came to the comment section to see if anyone else cried and yep most of us did. I've known this song for a while but never saw the video lol I tried playing the song on my guitar but the part where it says "you are your mothers child , She HAD you for a while" made me cry a lot the ending part always makes me a little teary eyed.
Heather Chavez i just posted this song on Instagram because I remember my mom. we too haven't talked in four years. i always try to reach out to her, but she still can't accept me and my choices. I just want her to know I love her and am always thinking about her. I'll keep waiting.
ScreamingInTheCalle I know what you mean...There 's just something catchier in "Danny Callahan"'s melody that makes me easily forget the melancholy within it,which is not the case in "Your Mother's Child"...
Really I thought this was a pretty happy one, I mean its sad how little the dad thinks of himself but at least he takes comfort knowing that his so is going to be fine. It really holds nothing to ones like Padraic my prince in terms of sadness.
Hi Conor. Only just discovered your music today over here in Lincoln City England. Enjoying it very much. Are you Mike’s brother by any chance as I’m a big fan fan of his and The Tillers and have been for a few years as I’m a banjo and harp man over here! You so look like Mike and sound a bit like him too and play “straight” harp also so I’ll be shocked if your not! Anyway have a nice Christmas and great tunes🎶👌
I swear, Stuck In Love has one of the best soundtracks ever
I would have never heard this amazing song if it weren't for the movie...
damn you netflix
+RUβΔIΨΔT ΣTHIҜΔ I am the same
+RUβΔIΨΔT ΣTHIҜΔ dude...absolutely
me too
you're right. that movie features good songs. 😃
My mom couldnt keep fighting and passed yesterday. This song has meant a lot to me for a long time but now its a whole new level. I doubt you read comments connor but thank you for more than you will ever know. I miss my best friend.
My mom just passed away, I can't even explain the pain. It's horrible how to think that I will never hear her voice again or hug her. She was a gift to me, my is really broke.
I'm sorry for your loss
I love you. Keep your head up. She will forever be right next to you.
I do not know you, but I want you to know that you are not alone. She loves you.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you know she’s in a much better place and that she’s proud of you
So sorry for your loss. The pain must be immeasurable. Sending lots of love.
Not that they aren’t equally valid emotions, but it surprises me how many comments focus on the relationship of mother and child, whereas the lyrics are totally about the father’s relationship with the child. In any event, it astounds me that anybody could sing this song, without having to stop in the middle to cry.
Immediate tears
This song makes me so fucking emo because it makes me feel guilty for all the times I've sassed my mom or haven't treated her like the queen she is
i found this song from the movie stuck in love, anybody else? i instantly fell in love, i was thinking, if you guys liked this song please please please listen to the song between the bars by elliot smith, its only 2 minutes and its amazing :) thank you (when you listen to it close your eyes and just listen to the lyrics)
You know Lou said that right?
i only like this song while im high @@
I listen to between the bars on the phone kept under the pillow before going to bed with one of my ears on the pillow. I love stuck in love. P.S. also 'perks of being a wallflower'
I showed this song to my mom today. Your lyrics could move mountains.
Just sent it to mine!!! (Mom) she loves Conor. Music saves lives!!!! 🎶💓😊
This guys lyrics are art.
I love Conor's lyrics so much. It always makes me wonder how personal the lyrics are to him, because they always hit home and have so much emotion.
I listen to this song every time I miss my mother. She's been gone for 10 years. She used to listen to all the brighteyes albums with me as a teenager driving me around town. We really bonded over your music. I only recently discovered this song of yours about a year ago but I know she'd have lived to hear it if she was alive still. Your music really keeps me hanging on.
Absolutely love this song, my wife cried first time I played it to her.
as a mama, i cry very time i hear this one!
as a daughter so do I
This song hits me hard as a Dad for personal reasons. Now that your grown may you never feel this alone................
I can't say I ever imagined the day I'd see children and infants in a Conor video. ....then again I never thought I'd hear a song like this from him.

This song brings me to tears. I can't even

I've had huge problems with my mom and just tried to play this on my guitar and started weeping halfway through ... still had to listen to it.
The most underrated song 🥀 , IF UR
LISTENING DURING THE QUARANTINE TAKE CARE .
Never before has a song made me cry this much
This song makes me cry it's so pure and beautiful, thank you Conor Oberst
In two days it will be five years since I was divorced, and was basically just kicked out of my life. Every time I hear the end of this song, "now that you're grown, may you never feel this alone", I think of my wonderful son, and just feel crushed.
Conor is a great artist. It sucks that society does not listen to music like this regularly
Absolutely awesome! These children are the cutest which I've ever seen. I really love the moment at the end, when the poster on the Conor's back falls, and he doesn't care about that, just smiles beautifully. He didn't used to smile very often... but now this happens to him sometimes (Oh, not SOMETIMES, almost all the time.). It's great to see him happy.
Probably one of the best songs of my whole life, glad I didn't die before listening to this❤
i came here to have a good time and i'm honestly feeling so depressed right now
I cry whenever i hear it, God bless all mothers
this song made me cry :') i loved it when i hear it in stuck in love.
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
But your mama had a big old smile
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin
Packed a few things and drove you back again
Stayed up all night worrying, wondering
What was gonna make it better
Broken bones heal if you set them right
Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide
Our love's a protective poison
But you are your mother's child
And she'll keep you for a while
Oh one day you'll be grown, then you'll be on your own
Halloween costume, looking real cute
With your pillowcase full, in your astronaut suit
Your cousin, the cowboy, he's eyeing your loot
Better watch your Snickers bar
Out on the diamond, and you're up to bat
Chewing your big league, adjusting your hat
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
Look at that apple fly
Tears will dry if you give them time
Life's a roller coaster, keep your arms inside
Fear that's a big emotion
But you are your mother's child
And she'll have you for a while
But some day you'll be grown, then you'll be on your own
Posing for pictures, cap and a gown
Summer is coming, you're driving around town
Everyone's asking what you're gonna do now
I know you're gonna make a splash
And find you a sweetheart to treat you so kind
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
What I couldn't teach you, soon you'll realize
She's the only thing that matters
Although he's a bastard, make your papa proud
Your a fine young man and I got no doubt
That you're gonna do this better
'Cause you are your mother's child
She had you for a while
But now that you are grown, and you're making it on your own
Well now that you're grown, may you never be on your own
i really felt it n made me cry. i thought there will not b a day on earth that i will cry coz of some movie or song but this song made me cry. LOVE YOU MUMMY
My nephew graduated today and this song has been stuck in my head all day along with a lot of tears. His mom, my sister, loved Conor Oberst and she passed away over a decade ago.
Someone please bless this man and his guitar
Happened to find this song the week I graduated high school... I am SO EMOTIONAL. I love my parents.
Stuck In Love! :)
Listening to this song, missing you mom. Always and forever. Crying cuz the thought of you not here is unfathomable and unbearable.
Every time, After hearing this song the love and respect for my mother Grows and Grows. Care her because one day you'll really miss her💜💜
I love this song so much. I can't listen to it without crying. It may as well been written in my own heart about my son Jack
Conor,
you have always been a creative inspiration, an inconsequential muse, and owe my style of poetry to your confessional, lucid lyrics. I remember listening to you back when I just figured out what angst was. I missed your show in Cooperstown, NY. I want to meet you, and those aren't the casual words of a creeper. An acquired, unacquainted friend.
saw it, it was great. he played this and told the story of it. the kid its about was backstage. it was magic. that was the first time I heard this.
Listening on my second Mother's Day without my son, and feeling so lost and bereft.
I'm not crying you are crying. 😭😍
My mom died a week ago. I can’t stop listening to this song.
❤
this song makes me want to have a child just so i can sing this to him. this is beautiful.
I think, for my generation, this & Lauryn Hill's To Zion are as good as it gets! Such different artists but both capture how amazing having little boys is.
this song makes me think of my grandpa. I cried listening to this ): thank you for this amazing song
Best Sing of you for me :)
Love your music Conor thank you. Hearing this as a divorced dad brings me tears.
It made me cry. Your music touches my heart. ❤️
I’m thinking of using this for my mother/son dance wedding. Reminds me a lot of the relationship I have with my mom and the line about being a fine young man was the last thing my grandpa said to me before he passed (he was took over the father figure for me when my dad left)
Conor is a great singer! not the normal type of music i would listen to, but i would anyways! Because see his father was my doctor when i was a kid!!! We lived in Council Bluffs, Iowa right across the Missouri River from Omaha!!! and my mom would take me to Doctor Oberst for annual check ups!! Saw in the paper that Conor moved back to Omaha with his new album looming! not bad Conor not bad!!!
Wasn't his dad an info manager or something?
I just came to the comment section to see if anyone else cried and yep most of us did.
I've known this song for a while but never saw the video lol I tried playing the song on my guitar but the part where it says "you are your mothers child , She HAD you for a while" made me cry a lot the ending part always makes me a little teary eyed.
Oh my mom I love you
Tears everytjme
Thank you for this song
words from my heart paired with a chord
I'll be seeing her before too long
in the meantime I'll carry on with the Lord
I have goosebumps!💕
💙i miss dad
Stuck in love brought me here
A beautiful lyric and tune, sung with grace
Cry every time
This is such an amazing song
conor you're amazing
Love this.
No song makes me cry like this one

I always come to this song and read the comments whenever I need a good cry. This song is genuinely beautiful and warm

This and At the Bottom of Everything...incredibly moving songs.... woefully literal videos...
Whenever I listen this Song , I valued All my mother's sacrifise. Intense deep song 💙👍
amazing lyrics!
Love's a protective poison...👌❤️
No words...❤
Close to one of his best songs I would say
This is amazing!!
This song makes me so sad because my mom disowned me. :(
Heather Chavez i just posted this song on Instagram because I remember my mom. we too haven't talked in four years. i always try to reach out to her, but she still can't accept me and my choices. I just want her to know I love her and am always thinking about her. I'll keep waiting.
I'm so sorry that happened to you :(
I'm here for the same reason. This week is 3 years since she told me to never call her again
a lovely man. So genuine, real and sometimes unbearably cute in every song. A rare find.
Such a great song!
Nice job. Youre amazing pretty awesome seeing you twice this year. I have missed you
beautiful
Can’t relate to most of this song, but the vibes tho😪
Every Thought I’ve Ever Had, Is Leading Towards The Moment, Where I Realize; I Have No Idea What To Do Now.
Bu şarkıyı keşfettiğim için kendimi çöl şanslı hissediyorum.. teşekkürler conor sana minnettarım. Ve sanırım ağlıyorum..
This is maybe Conort Oberst's saddest song ever...Still a great one,anyway...
I disagree. The last lines of Danny Callahan get me every time.
ScreamingInTheCalle
I know what you mean...There 's just something catchier in "Danny Callahan"'s melody that makes me easily forget the melancholy within it,which is not the case in "Your Mother's Child"...
yeah Danny Callahan, Breezy and Common Knowledge get me pretty choked up too.
Really I thought this was a pretty happy one, I mean its sad how little the dad thinks of himself but at least he takes comfort knowing that his so is going to be fine. It really holds nothing to ones like Padraic my prince in terms of sadness.
In my opinion "Amy in the white coat" is his saddest song... just brutal
Recording this for my husband for Father's day with a few tweaks :)
He resemble Jason Mraz and Paul Mccartney and their taste in music is high class .
Oh, новый Конор. Было бы еще круче увидеть клип на Double Life - самая любимая композиция с альбома.
So talented conor! -Lua
Listened to this when my mom passed away 6 years ago
hope it's a great day
Life is a rollar coster keep your arms inside .
2020 💟☹️
GREAT PRODUCT PLACEMENT CONOR!!! No I'm not being cynical or sarcastic says the sheep.
I miss you lola 😔
Awesome Song, i miss u mom. All i am was all u give me.
Hi Conor. Only just discovered your music today over here in Lincoln City England. Enjoying it very much. Are you Mike’s brother by any chance as I’m a big fan fan of his and The Tillers and have been for a few years as I’m a banjo and harp man over here! You so look like Mike and sound a bit like him too and play “straight” harp also so I’ll be shocked if your not! Anyway have a nice Christmas and great tunes🎶👌
how could this be from his 2014 album when it was played during the movie 'stuck in love' from 2012?? IM CONFUSED
+nicole Kennedy maybe this song was recorded just for that movie that year! and then when he ended all the album he included this song too
Es bastante hermosa.
😢
Why does this make me want to hug my existent kid?
+Gregor Duddy Have you tried to hug the non-existent kid? Way less meaningful.
Fuck this shit I'm cryin
Sweet choice, Des
!... :-*
Kids or teens from the fine bros should react to Conner
this is the saddest song ive ever heard
🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇😪😪😪
What ya Gunna do Now?
