God bless you and your family bro🙏 my son was just born 7 weeks ago today, and I pray that my girl and I never separate and break our family. All i want is to come home from work to my son everyday, and provide for them, and love them
With a daughter on the way in June When I’m gone really makes me feel so happy to father a daughter as a white boy with daddy issues from the inner city of Indy I relate so much to Em even as a new father 💙
The other child in the video he mentions as “Laney” is actually Kim”s sisters daughter who ‘Em adopted due to her drug issues and unfortunately later subsequent death, the baby here is his biological daughter Hailee who gets mentioned a lot in his songs. Years later (not in this video) Kim had a baby with another man then Kim and Em got back together and he adopted her too. Sadly her biological father passed away. Em has been a constant in these 3 girls life and I believe he refers to all 3 as his daughters.
He became his legal guardian, not father. That's what taking custody means, to become the legal guardian of an individual, examples being how your partner can be your legal guardian after marriage. :))
I remember when my daughter was born, my first time being in the car alone since. I played this song and literally couldn’t help it and started crying like a child. A fathers love for his daughter is precious
I wish I had a dad that loved me growing up lol I’d stand watching out the window waiting for him to come back until one day I decided I didn’t want to wait anymore.
Mockingbird is a hymn for real dads. I cry every time, maybe because being a dad was the most important thing for me and probably I wasn’t as good of a father than I thought 😢
If you're worried about not being a good dad, you were a good dad. It's the people who don't care that are the horrible ones. Much love from Nottingham England ❤❤❤
The older I get the more I understand the content of this song. As a kid I just liked how it sounded but now that Im well into my 20s, I empathise with Eminem.
As a kid I felt it and understood it from the other side, being the child of two parents who were not doing well financially and were abusive and not healthy together.
Mockingbird is such a classic… a song that gets even more popular as the years go on… as someone who grew up in a broken home it really hits deep for me the entire story of the song + it’s a very well done instrumental fact he turned a lullaby into that aesthetic/sound is pretty amazing + like your dad said it’s a really nice chorus with those keys in the background deff one of my fave from Eminem 💯 some don’t realize how diverse he is in terms of range of songs from emotional, sad, angry, funny, hype, motivational etc…
I also have lost my father when I was 18 in 2010 and lost my brother 3 months ago who was also a father himself and I currently right now am a father myself
You should play him “Cleaning out my Closet” the anger towards his mom & the play him “Headlights” which shows his growth and his apology to his mom. It’s been one of my favorite parts of his career
I think it is more of him, accepting her apology and coming to terms with his anger towards her. Because he knows that she had a problem and what she did wasn’t acceptable, but he had to accept it to move on.
@@JustLikeAFlower yeah it not that she like openly apologizes but her forgives her actions when he and his brother were young because he now understands how hard it is to raise kids alone and now she is dying so he wishes they could have more time because he found his bother (after css took him) and he wants hailey to meet her.
Mockingbird was the song that made me fall in love with Eminem. When I was younger I didn't listen to Eminem, I just heard some songs every now and then Like D12's My Band/How Come. But I didn't specifically listen to him. I knew some of the songs, cause they played on the radio but I didn't seek him out. It wasn't until 19 years ago, when I was in Middle School that I heard Mockingbird for the first time and then that was it for me, I was hooked on Eminem and had a newfound appreciation for him. Love him to this day. Amazing Musician, Amazing Father.
I went to jail longtime ago, and this song made me cry & still do, everytime that I think on my mistakes that affected my children... on this day I can say that I'm glad that everything kts perfect, but the song definitely hits hard.. is a piece of art!
I just Love your dad that he remembers everything you guys have listened to and that he wants to listen to more. I just love you all. I hope you have a happy new year
I’m 25 and this was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. Now that I’m older I feel like I can really understand it and it hits me right in the feels haha. I don’t even have kids or a wife yet. But I always tear up listening to it
Dad you are so lucky your son wants to share such a huge part of his life with you. Young man treasure your Dad, you are so blessed. ‘Eminem is a great singer and not the usual music I listen too but I enjoy his songs. You guys are great.
always liked this song since i was a child but now that i’ve grown up and understood the backstory and what happened makes me teary eyed everytime :( considering the past that em had he’s done his best to give the complete opposite environment to his kids and has done a hella good job at raising them, he deserves his flowers !
Hey, thanks for reacting to Mocking Bird. That was awesome. Dad was so on point and Im growing wiser with his views and comments. Cheers to you both. 😊
When Dad said “it usually switches up and he gets furious but this might not be the case in this one, it’s so mello” *me knowing the mockingbirds neck getting snapped and the jeweller eating the karats at the end* 😅 I’m not certain he heard that last change up of the chorus through properly though.
@@quan1562 He knows the negative impact it has/had on his mom and he doesn’t hold the same resentment for her anymore. He said he wished he never made that song. Look it up, it’s deep!!
I used to listen to Eminem a lot as a kid because of my parents. This song always stuck with me, especially when my dad died. I would sit on my porch and listen to Mockingbird on full volume and just *listen.* Also, it’s so funny hearing him say ‘it’s the first time I’ve had an opening to a difficult family dynamic’ (or something like that idk) because this song resonates with me. I’ve heard it and experienced it. It’s definitely my favourite Eminem song.
Your so lucky to have a dad and a dad you can do something together. Love him and take care of him, we are not all lucky to be in your situation like yours. Love your videos, good content
I remember I finally got a CD player as a kid and fell in love with this song. It spoke to me as a child in a broken home. I could relate to all of it. Hell, our house even got broken into and we got robbed. Now I’m a young man, wanting to start a family and I have so much motivation to provide a better life for my children as a future father.
Man this is so precious to me My mom was a nurse and she worked at night so she almost never could put me to sleep and I was so little I didn't understood why she was not there, so my dad would put me to sleep every night singing the mockingbird part to me while rocking me
I absolutely love this song and the video!! My biological father left my mother when she was pregnant with me. Than my stepfather committed suicide when I was 18. All I have are home videos, so this song/video touches me deeply!! Yet again, another great job, guys!! Keep up the good work 👏
When I was younger my Dad used to listen to Eminem in the car every now and then. I remember mocking bird was playing one time and I didn’t understand the song because I was like 6. I actually thought the song sounded good. But now when I listen to it, I understand and it’s so sad..
I gotta say, I freaking love you guys, your relationship, your banter, and your reactions. Lastly, I love that you've both turned me on to some amazing music-- The Black Seminole and Pasttime Paradise. Side note: I noticed something kind of adorable. Kai always says Uh-huh with an upward inflection on the "huh," which I thought was unique. I finally caught his dad saying it on a video yesterday and understood where he got it. 😅 Love Eminem. Would love to see a twenty one pilots reaction if that's something Kai would be into. Keep it up! ❤
Eminem before getting clean is a lot angrier then Eminem after getting clean. You can see a big change is his music from one period to the next. Getting clean an more mature I think helped him emotionally. An music was always a therapy for him to let his emotions out.
One of my favorite tracks from him. His catalog is so massive, I can't wait to see what you all have yet to react to! Granted you're probably still aways from it, I'm excited for you all to get into Recovery and MMLP 2. Lyricism at it's finest! Some songs worthy of honorable mentions: Talkin to myself Going through changes 25 to life Groundhog day Legacy
This is one of my favourite songs from Eminem... it can bring me to tears if i'm in the wrong frame of mind, i will try to avoid if i can for the emotional reaction that i receive... but vocally an amazing tune ❤️💯
amazing song, amazing reaction I find it very interesting how similar your gestures and way of speaking are, seems like youve adapted alot from your dad😊
So glad you did this reaction! I recommend listening to 'cleaning out my closet' or more recently, I think defo 'rap god'! I think your Dad will appreciate both for different reasons 😊
I relate to this song so much, i have always had a tough time growning up with my parents and some of the lyrics represent almost exactly what happened to some extent.
i remember this was the one song i really, really wanted to listen to in the car with my dad off of his burned cds but he always skipped it. said i shouldn’t listen to it. i, being a kid of the 2000s and the internet, naturally found my way around that. eminem’s music was something that my dad and i connected through, and he wasn’t always around so i listened to this on repeat when he wasn’t there. weird coming back to this. i still feel like a little kid when i hear it. wild
Can’t wait for you to share more of the poetic Eminem. Cleaning out my close, followed by headlights. Both Rihanna collaborations. Not afraid, for sure so one of his most motivating and touching songs for me. Toy soldiers. Eminem was at his peak during my 20 s so I really grew with him and his music. And it’s been and still is a wonderful poetic journey of youth and growing as a person and owning up to your youthful mistakes.
Guys, When I'm Gone is a must after this one.... And in the same vein, a little more recent, Castle and Arose (played together back to back) are amazing!
Your videos are very informative for me because I am from India and was born in 2004. The internet is not easy to access, and English-language western music is not popular. I am late and I get to know the story behind the song and about the artists.
This song hits home for me because I remember we grew up with a single mom. No dad around I’m the oldest of 3 boys and so I grew up fast by 14 I was hustling to make $ while my mom was dealing with alcohol addiction, and a bunch of mental abuse from her family around her, and by 15 I was tryna bring my family closer by BBQing and spending family time to take away any of the pain. During that time I was the dad to my 2 brothers and I remember hearing this song during that time and it hurt
It's funny cause dad said there's none of that anger and twist turn stuff etc, but it still did twist in the last lyrics, saying he'll breaking the birdies neck, and going back to the jeweler to make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad. 😂
*Kai!! Now is a must that you should show your dad these 2 songs by eminem "CASTLE" & "AROSE" in that order. After listening Mockinbird, trust me.. your dad will go through a emotional roller coster. * SALUTE!! KEEP IT UP! 💯
He was bowing because it was meant to be his last album. When I'm gone was also his song with a double entendre because it was for his daughter and also his fans
If you wanna do some new stuff, cover Gnat, it's like a modern day Slim Shady track, just references and rhyme schemes out the wazoo! Its so amazing to have seen the journey that Eminem has made, he's really on an untouchable level.
I remember crying with this song because my father was always a very violent man who physically and mentally abused my mother, my brothers and me. He was a horrible father and caused us many traumas, especially to my mother and older brother. No doubt the one who suffered most from my father was my mother, even my father’s own family (his mother, his mother’s sisters, his brothers) abused us physically and in many different ways. My older brother had to witness many abuses of my father against my mother, like the time my father beat my mother multiple times and then he drag her all over the house as he pull her hair. I think it is not necessary to say how much my brother was afraid of my father. Listening to this song by Eminem, I felt my heart ache and beat very hard at seeing how good a father Eminem is. It hurt me that many of us had or have horrible and abusive parents, while others have beautiful parents who love their children and they are their whole world. We often do not value our parents, it breaks my heart to know that sometimes we are very rude to people who love us so much and can hurt them with our actions or what we say. Sorry if you do not understand well, my native language is not English so I do not know if it is well written.
This has been my favorite song since I heard it the first time. I might be mistaken but i believe this song to be Eminem's only one without any swearing.. which is impressive
Show him D12! It's a nice time to see him with his old friends. They sadly stopped the group when one of the members got killed, but the music they have is great
This song makes me cry every time I hear it because it makes me think of all the sacrifices my father makes for us. He was a bastard son with a father who never cared about him and was really abusive when it comes to punish him and his other brothers. So my dad never was too good showing affection. Now im 21 years old and we talk much more and now i get it. Every time i look at his eyes i see just a little boy who work hard and had to mature early. Nobody teach us how to be parents. I love him with all my heart and try to appreciate every moment with him.
I'm a man, I got two small girls. Nothing makes me cry or haven't made me cry for probably 5-8 years. This song is the only thing that makes me cry, watching it as a parent is so tough.
this song has been in my heart since i became a father and especially after the divorce and being a separated parent sure a beautiful song
God bless you and your family bro🙏 my son was just born 7 weeks ago today, and I pray that my girl and I never separate and break our family. All i want is to come home from work to my son everyday, and provide for them, and love them
God have written something special for You You will sure get it
Lmaoooo
@@noahtovar879 that's not funny
The most impressive thing is that Hailie have podcast now and she said that she had a wonderful childhood, finished college and now is engaged. ❤
Eminem- When I’m gone
Is a must listen especially if you like this song. The substance in that song is powerful.
I was about to suggest When I’m Gone. It’s kinda like a sequel to this song. The tone and theme are very similar
One of my all time favorites, just brilliant writing
Beat me to it. I was totally about to suggest this. One of my fav em songs ever
With a daughter on the way in June When I’m gone really makes me feel so happy to father a daughter as a white boy with daddy issues from the inner city of Indy I relate so much to Em even as a new father 💙

He even adopted his half brother Nathan. So he has 4 kids legally but only 1 biological.
respekt
@Langley Ackerman google never says he adopted his half brother. Only says that he was given custody of him
@@NightGraveHunting that’s what that means he was given custody. He is his child he adopted Nathan.

It’s literally indescribable honestly. Like you’d literally try and tackle a digger if it would make your little girl happy.
I know it’s makes dad feel it in th ye bones. I’m a mom and this how I feel about my daughters.
I wish I had a dad that loved me growing up lol I’d stand watching out the window waiting for him to come back until one day I decided I didn’t want to wait anymore.
@@nikkis7375same😂

I remember the first time I heard Mockingbird, I broke out in tears because it was SO HEARTFELT. 😢
This man can make other men cry no problem lol
🙋🏽♂️
😢 I guilty of cry to this song
Every time tear’s comes out 😢
I remember watching him do the world premiere on MTV and he started crying.
Eminem is never angry when he writes songs his daughter. they always seem to have more of a somber vibe.
Except for his diss track
@@effortless2650 what diss track?
@@guettoyo Killshot I'd guess. He mentions his daughter there but it's not directed at her.
@@fvenateafork thanks!
"I think my dad's gone crazy" had Hailie in it
Mockingbird is a hymn for real dads. I cry every time, maybe because being a dad was the most important thing for me and probably I wasn’t as good of a father than I thought 😢
You probably were a good dad. We’re just hard on ourselves
If you're worried about not being a good dad, you were a good dad. It's the people who don't care that are the horrible ones.
Much love from Nottingham England ❤❤❤
Why do I cry everytime even tho im not a father yet?
This song its awesome, happened to me many times!
you are a good dad....
The older I get the more I understand the content of this song. As a kid I just liked how it sounded but now that Im well into my 20s, I empathise with Eminem.
In your 30s with a kid it hits harder. Especially when you gotta work two jobs to make it work.
As a kid I felt it and understood it from the other side, being the child of two parents who were not doing well financially and were abusive and not healthy together.

one of my fav from him

It brings me tears of envy because my father passed away when I was 15 and I’m unable to share moments like this with him
Can relate to this so much.

Now why did I sit here & cry through this whole song as if I’ve never heard it before. It’s one of those.

agree with this

Would love to see your dads reaction to Eminem’s “Headlights” and “Darkness”
When I'm gone
Wow!!..those are the best!!
Also stronger than I was.
Darkness is so good!

As an adult who was a teen during this, Em's music always hit so hard for all of us. This is why he's in my top 3 and will always be.
When I’m Gone is a MUST
Love how Son and Dad interact. Cool Dad to be honest. This song has always resonated for obvious reasons.
This was the first Eminem song my daughter got into and we still listen to it 10 years later ❤
Man this is so precious to me
My mom was a nurse and she worked at night so she almost never could put me to sleep and I was so little I didn't understood why she was not there, so my dad would put me to sleep every night singing the mockingbird part to me while rocking me
This should be followed with castle and arose as a single reaction , one awesome story told over 2 songs .

Now hush little baby don’t you cry everything’s gonna be alright
Mockingbird est un classique. Eminem est plus qu'un rappeur cest un grand artiste, creatif qui n as pas peur de livrer ses sentiments. GOAT ❤
I gotta say, I freaking love you guys, your relationship, your banter, and your reactions.
Lastly, I love that you've both turned me on to some amazing music-- The Black Seminole and Pasttime Paradise.
Side note: I noticed something kind of adorable. Kai always says Uh-huh with an upward inflection on the "huh," which I thought was unique. I finally caught his dad saying it on a video yesterday and understood where he got it. 😅

things happen he probably used drugs to take the pain away
Humanity blows my mind. Such beautiful culture. Complexity. Pain. Freedom and passion and lonely transgressions....
I like that you’ve started from the early days of Eminem, that way you can watch the evolution of his music. Very cool
I love the contrast of all his songs compared to his songs he made for Hailie, you can feel the emotions he puts into those specific songs
One of my favorite tracks from him. His catalog is so massive, I can't wait to see what you all have yet to react to! Granted you're probably still aways from it, I'm excited for you all to get into Recovery and MMLP 2. Lyricism at it's finest!
Some songs worthy of honorable mentions:
Talkin to myself
Going through changes
25 to life
Groundhog day
Legacy
Groundhog day is very good
i seriously hope eminem sees these reviews you two are very wholesome
I'm not even a father but this makes me emotional af, I've never had a dad but i do understand the herculean job that is to be a father
This is one of my favourite songs from Eminem... it can bring me to tears if i'm in the wrong frame of mind, i will try to avoid if i can for the emotional reaction that i receive... but vocally an amazing tune ❤️💯
Потрясающая композиция❤❤❤❤ бьёт в самое сердце ,грустная ,жизненная 😢😢😢
We love Eminem. Because us kids can relate to the music with no dads or no moms. 😢 the music he puts out is 100% relatable
amazing song, amazing reaction
I find it very interesting how similar your gestures and way of speaking are, seems like youve adapted alot from your dad😊
Eminem: motivational guy
Slim shady: funny guy
Marshall Marthers: great father

So glad you did this reaction! I recommend listening to 'cleaning out my closet' or more recently, I think defo 'rap god'! I think your Dad will appreciate both for different reasons 😊
I see this page reactions just to see the dad. He looks like an innocent soul.. i feel calm and in peace just looking at him.
I relate to this song so much, i have always had a tough time growning up with my parents and some of the lyrics represent almost exactly what happened to some extent.

Yeah this one definitely hits to this day.. especially buying the album as a youngin and still listening as an old head dad
Yeeees every time you cover an Eminem song it makes me happy! It reminds me of my dad. Eminem was something that brought as closer together
This music still gives me goosebumps when i listen to it.
I’m a daughter, and I made my dad watch this, and honestly, I have never EVER seen my dad cry until then. Really shows how much love a dad has.
You got to show him "Difficult" his tribute to his best friend proof I can't listen to it this song or clean out my closet without crying
This made me cry I don’t know why I think the home videos and the music put me over the edge. You guys have great vids
Your videos are very informative for me because I am from India and was born in 2004. The internet is not easy to access, and English-language western music is not popular. I am late and I get to know the story behind the song and about the artists.
My wife and I would love to see Dad's reaction to "Highlights" by Eminem please!
This song brings goosebumps to me and is nearest to my heart
This song hits home for me because I remember we grew up with a single mom. No dad around I’m the oldest of 3 boys and so I grew up fast by 14 I was hustling to make $ while my mom was dealing with alcohol addiction, and a bunch of mental abuse from her family around her, and by 15 I was tryna bring my family closer by BBQing and spending family time to take away any of the pain. During that time I was the dad to my 2 brothers and I remember hearing this song during that time and it hurt
Eminem is the G.O.A.T. without question.
I just discovered your channel today. I subbed. I’m enjoying getting to know the music as well as the two of you. Thank you.
It's funny cause dad said there's none of that anger and twist turn stuff etc, but it still did twist in the last lyrics, saying he'll breaking the birdies neck, and going back to the jeweler to make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad. 😂
the piano is playing the chorus the whole time throughout the song too
Hey I'm just here to say that your dad is awesome, and thank you sir for you time
definately prefer when I'm gone over mockingbird when it comes to songs about his daughters should definately do that one at some point
*Kai!! Now is a must that you should show your dad these 2 songs by eminem "CASTLE" & "AROSE" in that order. After listening Mockinbird, trust me.. your dad will go through a emotional roller coster. *
SALUTE!! KEEP IT UP! 💯
He was bowing because it was meant to be his last album. When I'm gone was also his song with a double entendre because it was for his daughter and also his fans
If you wanna do some new stuff, cover Gnat, it's like a modern day Slim Shady track, just references and rhyme schemes out the wazoo! Its so amazing to have seen the journey that Eminem has made, he's really on an untouchable level.
I remember crying with this song because my father was always a very violent man who physically and mentally abused my mother, my brothers and me. He was a horrible father and caused us many traumas, especially to my mother and older brother. No doubt the one who suffered most from my father was my mother, even my father’s own family (his mother, his mother’s sisters, his brothers) abused us physically and in many different ways. My older brother had to witness many abuses of my father against my mother, like the time my father beat my mother multiple times and then he drag her all over the house as he pull her hair. I think it is not necessary to say how much my brother was afraid of my father. Listening to this song by Eminem, I felt my heart ache and beat very hard at seeing how good a father Eminem is. It hurt me that many of us had or have horrible and abusive parents, while others have beautiful parents who love their children and they are their whole world. We often do not value our parents, it breaks my heart to know that sometimes we are very rude to people who love us so much and can hurt them with our actions or what we say.
Sorry if you do not understand well, my native language is not English so I do not know if it is well written.
This has been my favorite song since I heard it the first time. I might be mistaken but i believe this song to be Eminem's only one without any swearing.. which is impressive
Except for the last sentence 🤣
@@markc266 you're actually right! Didn't even think about that sneaky one
Show him D12! It's a nice time to see him with his old friends. They sadly stopped the group when one of the members got killed, but the music they have is great
This song makes me cry every time I hear it because it makes me think of all the sacrifices my father makes for us.
He was a bastard son with a father who never cared about him and was really abusive when it comes to punish him and his other brothers.
So my dad never was too good showing affection.
Now im 21 years old and we talk much more and now i get it.
Every time i look at his eyes i see just a little boy who work hard and had to mature early.
Nobody teach us how to be parents. I love him with all my heart and try to appreciate every moment with him.
I’ll say it agin, Dad would love “Sing for the Moment” by Eminem.
This is the one I was looking for! I really think he would like it.
Eminem - No Apologies! Love your content, keep it up
Sing for the moment
1- Sing for the moment
2- Lose yourself
3- Cleaning out my closet
4- When I'm Gone
5- Beautiful
Gotta listen to Eminem-sing for the moment
You guys are one of the most quality reaction channels
5:15 he kinda predicted the ending lines😂
I'm a man, I got two small girls. Nothing makes me cry or haven't made me cry for probably 5-8 years. This song is the only thing that makes me cry, watching it as a parent is so tough.
