I sang this song to my newborn son repeatedly for 2 hours while the doctors fought (and succeeded) in saving his mother. It brings me to tears every time I hear it.
I am fairly confident that he wasn't actually taking an inventory of my personality as much as he was just making a comment of connecting this song with the birth of my son. But way to throw your two cents worth in!

This song came out when I was 20, and I never appreciated the lyrics. Almost 20 years later, with a father who passed and a 16 year old son, I can not get through the song without tearing up.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve loved this song for the same amount of time. Now I’m here, a mother with a daughter who is just like me. Teaching and learning how life is not linear, the struggle continues, and how the student remains yet becomes the teacher simultaneously.
I was 19 back then, I used to appreciate the chorus and the piano only. Couple years later, I came to see how deep the lyrics, since I studied English at college.
아들아! 잘 잤니? 이젠 성인이 되어 자기 갈 길을 찾아 떠난 내 아들~ 지나보니 지난 27년이 부모만 힘든게 아니라 아들인 너도 많이 힘들었을것 같다. 일일히 다 적어내지 못할 지난 세월의 미안함들~ㅠㅠ 대견하게도 순간순간 힘들고 지칠때마다 걱정하는건 엄마,아빠였지 니가 아니였어. 어느새 보면 너란 아이는 보란듯이 툭툭 털어내고 일어나서 걷고 뛰고~ 오히려 부모에게 힘을 준 건 너였어! 아들아~ 이제 새로운 삶을 위해 타지로 떠나 오롯이 너 혼자 이겨내고 견뎌내야할 시간이 주어졌구나. 그 동안 살아온 삶과는 비교도 안 될만큼 힘들수도 있고 그래서 이겨냄으로 너만의 성취감으로 천배는 더 기쁠 수도 있을거다. 걱정 하지 말아라~ 다 잘 될거니까~ 사랑한다. 아들아~ 세상 끝까지 엄마 아빠는 너와 함께 할거란다. 아들아! 더 잘 해주지 못해서 너무 미안하다. 하지만 어느 한 순간도 너에게 진정 사랑이 아니였던 적은 없었단다. 훗날, 너의 아들에게도 세상에 태어나줘서 정말 고맙다고 끝까지 함께하자고 사랑한다고 꼭 말해 주렴! 아들아! 미안하고 사랑한다. 엄마가 사랑하는 아들에게~ 2021년 6월2일 새벽 1시 48분.
Some of my most rewarding friends are guys, some difficult, but worth it. Since the beginning, Listening to Ben is like hanging out with them. Hope he is in the mood to play this July29
This brilliant album came out on Sept. 11th 2001. I bought it at Best Buy.. this tune made me freaking cry...the day made me cry. UGH. Amazing song and album!
I have six kids... there was pain, sunny days, and rain... This song so purely encapsulates parenthood. It hurts to grow up; it's true. But because this song exists, it's bearable. I love you, Ben Folds.
Thanks for sharing your life story,dear Larisa :') You're awesome! Brave and strong human! Thanks for staying alive 'till now :) Hug tight from Bali island, Indonesia.
Thank you for liking my music and believing in the journey, So far has been a dream come true having amazing people as fans, i really do feel blessed. its has been your prayers and support that has kept i and my groups at our best. ❤️
Had a great night tonight with my son, who at 13 is having typical teenage issues. I remember those days very well. All I can do is love him and tell him things will get better. We adopted Douglas when he was 3 from foster care and part of the process is a trial overnight stay. I remember that night like it was yesterday. Dinner, playing around the house, then putting him to bed. It was love at first sight. The next day we had to drop him back off with the social worker. It was at the Chick-fil-A in Brandon on Highway 60. I remember watching her strap him in the car seat in the back seat and drive away. This song was in the CD player and as she drove away I cried like a baby. Now, 10 years later, I can hardly listen without tears falling. Being a parent is the most rewarding thing I think that can happen in a person's life. And as difficult as it is, and will continue to be, I wouldn't trade it for a second. People have said you never know how much love you have until you have a child of your own, and that is the absolute truth. Seeing them slip into the beginnings of adulthood is like watching a movie you can't rewind. I just hope I can provide him with the foundation my Dad did and hope he admires me the way I do mine.
My husband introduced this band back in college. Now we gave this song to our son and my husband is still crying just by listening to this song. Such a beautiful song with its lyric.
He made this ten years ago. His son is old enough to appreciate this video, this song, and that millions of people have watched it. That’s beautiful. The years go on.
I’ll never forget the day my dad dedicated this song to me..The day my dad died all I could think of is the part when he says “and one day you’ll fly away from me” 😢. We played it at his funeral, I love u so much Dad!!!
My dad passed away of lung cancer about 9 months ago and now I cant listen to this without crying. He was my best friend and I miss him more than I could ever say.
Im crying.... this songs speak for man's life.... Man... Devote for family... No one cares and knows how they sacrifice... So this song describe "Im a bird"....
This is a very beautiful and painful song for any single parent. I just know my child is going to endure more hardships than I had to when I was young. I'm proud of who she is. I just know it won't be easy for her. I can't protect her from everything. That's very hard to accept when you're supposed to be a little girl's hero. She sang this with me tonight at bedtime. God knows how much this child means to me. I'll do right by her, nothing can change that. I just wish I gave her the family she deserves.
부모님이 이혼하시고 엄마 없이 아버지와 함께 살았다. 어릴때는 아버지를 원망했지만 나이가 들어 30살이 되니 어머니가 원망스럽고 아버지가 얼마나 힘들었을지 느껴진다. 물론 날 떠나간 엄마도 힘들었겠지만 아버지만큼 힘들었을까. 아무튼 그 아이는 건강하게 자라서 멋진 성인이 되었다
I don’t know if you’ll see this Ben, but I just want to say thank you. Your songs have brought so much joy to my life and I just thank you. Love you, Ben❤️
정말 가사처럼 나이가 들수록 힘들고 고통스러운게 맞는것 같음. 끊임없는 공부량과 과제,업무 등 겪으면서 소소한 행복을 느끼고 추억을 쌓고.. 중년이 되면 부모님을 떠나보내실때, 사회생활에 치밀어져 할수 없던 말, 매번 감사합니다 사랑합니다 . 결국 유골 앞에서 울고 사과하고.. 사람의 레파토리란게 이렇게 안타깝고 슬프다니..
When I hear " we're still fighting it" and " you're so much like me" I can't help but to think that Ben is talking about how sensitive and intuitive he and his son are and how much that affected him (Ben) growing up because the world is not kind to sweet souls and in turn led to a lot of depression and anxiety for him (Ben) which he is now seeing in his son as he grows up For which he feels apologetic for. This hits hard for me with the repetition of "we're still fighting it" Still fighting to be yourself, fighting to remind kind and to not end up bitter. Fighting to be more that than things that happened to you as you grow up
thank you.. this is exactly what i imagine.. i also feel the same thing recently. depression and anxiety in the society. . so i am sorry to my daughter
I used to hear this on Delilah when I was a kid on my first stereo in the late 90s when I’d be falling asleep and loved it. And then my dad passed away and it has always been special since then.
No matter how many times I listen to this song, I think about my kids and I ball my eyes out. Maybe one day they will come across this song/comment and know how much I love them and remember me.
I believe wholeheartedly that if they hear this song, you will be the first thing they think about. Maybe you could put the recording in a lockbox for safekeeping to be sure they do hear and knew how much you love him. It's hard to express how much love a person feels and learns about when they've had a child, so if your son/daughter has children, it will mean so much to them! My oldest son turned me on Ben Folds Five music after I had heard a, "Still Fighting It" cover in a Korean drama I was watching. Since I'm a musician/singer, the fact I didn't know this song nor whose cover it was is beyond me. :) So glad I do now. Good luck to your children and finding a way for them to hear this.
Always loved this tune. Never watched the video until today. I was still in high school when it released. I'm a father now and this makes me wish my son was in my arms right now.
A speaker played this at a high school retreat and, being teenagers, we all kind of laughed at it. Years later, even though I don't have kids, I can appreciate how beautiful it is.
I've been listening to this song since I was a teenager, and only tonight I've seen the film clip for the first time and realised he's singing Good Morning, "Son". All that time I heard it as "sun"...now with a toddler myself, the song hits me in whole new way.
I love Ben Folds' voice, its just so soft and touching~ This has to be my favorite of all his songs though. The piano, the strings, the lyrics, just everything about this song is so beautiful.
+FritzyBeat I personally prefer his more Heavy Rock songs, but this is still an absolutely beautiful song. Way better than the shit on the radio now... God, screw that.
This is my son and my song. When i first heard it i thought this is our song. I cry when i listen to it. My son and i were so lucky to go see Ben perform in Chicago in a small venue. Just Ben and his piano. It was amazing. The years your child is young you can never get them back so cherish every moment.
Thank you for liking my music and believing in the journey, So far has been a dream come true having amazing people as fans, i really do feel blessed. its has been your prayers and support that has kept i and my groups at our best. ❤️
One of the greatest songs ever made! You know how to really bring the emotion on, Ben Folds! This is the sweetest song in the world in my opinion! The instrumentals are fantastic too! This song makes me CRY! Hope everyone gets to hear you someday!
I haven't listened to Ben Folds in what feels like ages and I woke up today with this song LOUD in my head. Guess it's a nostalgia kind of day. Sending love and hope to everyone who sees this. 💜 It hurts to grow up, but we keep fighting.
I have a very close relationship with my son despite only getting to see him every other weekend. This song and "You're My Star" by Stereophonics always make me tear up every time I hear them.
This song is just beautiful. The ache of years as you see your children grow up, and all the things you wished you taught them, and all the things they learned that you hope was enough flood each note.
I bought the sound the day it came out. I want to say right around 9/11. I used to listen to this song and imagine being a father. My son was born in 2012 and of course it came back into rotation. A year-and-a-half later I was in the middle of a divorce. The song have grown with me overtime and it means more and more as we get older. Here I am, almost 41...my Father is baraley hanging on and I have an 11 year old son. Being a single dad when your son is 15 months old is quite the experience. It created a bond that is unspeakable. Bravo, Ben
oh man the memories. I played this song a hundred times back and forth to the hospital when my first son was born. Hes 15 now. I love the lyrics and the mood this song sets. Your so much like me... Im sorry. How powerful
Anyone else here from Stray Kids? They played this during Jeongin's phone call with his parents in episode 9. ❤️❤️ This is such an amazing and beautiful song. It never fails to bring me close to tears. As a 15 year old, I appreciate this song very much, and it reminds me of my parents. I wonder how I'll view this song when I get older. I know I'm gonna keep coming back to this. ❤️
Good morning, son. I am a bird Wearing a brown polyester shirt You want a coke? Maybe some fries? The roast beef combo's only $9.95 It's okay, you don't have to pay I've got all the change Everybody knows It hurts to grow up And everybody does It's so weird to be back here Let me tell you what The years go on and We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it And you're so much like me I'm sorry Good morning, son In twenty years from now Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers And I can tell you 'bout today And how I picked you up and everything changed It was pain Sunny days and rain I knew you'd feel the same things Everybody knows It sucks to grow up And everybody does It's so weird to be back here. Let me tell you what The years go on and We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it You'll try and try and one day you'll fly Away from me Good morning, son I am a bird It was pain Sunny days and rain I knew you'd feel the same things Everybody knows It hurts to grow up And everybody does It's so weird to be back here. Let me tell you what The years go on and We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it And you're so much like me I'm sorry
I feel this so much. Been listening to Ben Folds for many years. I feel we are very similar in thinking. This song always hits me hard when I think about life and my kids and how painful it can be. My life is so limited. My daughters are different like me. They're exceptional but they will and do hurt from it. We also recently lost their father who loved this music and was an exceptional and deep individual. I doubt anyone will read this but I wanted to say it.
이찬솔님 노래 듣고 왔는데..... 역시나 감동 인생에 대해 생각하게 되네요....... I am coming here after listening Korean tv program. This song make me think about the life and family..........
My father died 11 days after 9/11 in 2001. I remember when I first heard this song...I just cried my guts out missing him. I've been listening to it off and on for the last 18 years. I think he released it in 2002. I've always been a huge Ben Folds fan. Now that I have children of my own, I appreciate this song so much more. Ben Folds is lyrical and musical genius that still brings me to tears. In my opinion, he's one of the greatest artists in the last 30 years....and I don't say that lightly. This song in particular is so powerful and emotional when we all think about are own childhoods and our parents and then move forward in time as we have our own children. For most of us, our parents loved us and did the best they could...even though they made plenty of mistakes. As I try to parent my own kids...and make mistakes constantly, I can only hope they will forgive me and look upon me long after I've passed and know that I loved them. Just a great song!
What a great comment. RIP your dad, I’m sure he’s watching you, wherever he is. This album came out on 9/11 itself, just adding to the depth of this beautiful song.
I can't even think about this song without crying and I'm not even a parent. I guess it makes me think of childhood with my dad picking us up on the weekends and all the strain on those relationships as you get older being in a broken home with parents who don't really express these sentiments.
Ha ha! Also here because of Itaewon Class. I wish I had heard Ben Folds music long before now. This is such a beautiful song and touches my heart because my now 28 year old son and his dad often have a beer together. It’s a special place to arrive at with your child.
I sang this song to my newborn son repeatedly for 2 hours while the doctors fought (and succeeded) in saving his mother. It brings me to tears every time I hear it.
You are a great father, the world needs more people like you.
I am fairly confident that he wasn't actually taking an inventory of my personality as much as he was just making a comment of connecting this song with the birth of my son. But way to throw your two cents worth in!
Raiden? I'm eating right now. Get back to me after I'm done eating.
The guy made a simple comment on something he's passionate about. Maybe try to realize this world would be a better place if people were actually like this, instead of tearing a person down at the first sign of honest vulnerability.
+Theclaw Yaww Way to fuck up a nice moment. I bet you're the life of every conversation you were never invited to.
His son was born in 2001, so it actually is 20 years from now, hope they got those beers :)

Too bad they used a cover that totally butchered the song.

아들아! 잘 잤니?
이젠 성인이 되어 자기 갈 길을 찾아 떠난 내 아들~
지나보니 지난 27년이 부모만 힘든게 아니라 아들인 너도 많이 힘들었을것 같다.
일일히 다 적어내지 못할 지난 세월의 미안함들~ㅠㅠ
대견하게도 순간순간 힘들고 지칠때마다 걱정하는건 엄마,아빠였지 니가 아니였어.
어느새 보면 너란 아이는 보란듯이 툭툭 털어내고 일어나서 걷고 뛰고~
오히려 부모에게 힘을 준 건 너였어!
아들아~ 이제 새로운 삶을 위해 타지로 떠나 오롯이 너 혼자 이겨내고 견뎌내야할 시간이 주어졌구나.
그 동안 살아온 삶과는 비교도 안 될만큼 힘들수도 있고 그래서 이겨냄으로 너만의 성취감으로 천배는 더 기쁠 수도 있을거다.
걱정 하지 말아라~
다 잘 될거니까~
사랑한다. 아들아~
세상 끝까지 엄마 아빠는 너와 함께 할거란다.
아들아! 더 잘 해주지 못해서 너무 미안하다.
하지만 어느 한 순간도 너에게 진정 사랑이 아니였던 적은 없었단다.
훗날, 너의 아들에게도 세상에 태어나줘서 정말 고맙다고 끝까지 함께하자고 사랑한다고 꼭 말해 주렴!
아들아! 미안하고 사랑한다.
엄마가 사랑하는 아들에게~

does it get better? I doubt it
I couldn't wait 20 years. I tell my 12 & 9 year olds how they melted my heart from day one and still do.
This is a very beautiful and painful song for any single parent. I just know my child is going to endure more hardships than I had to when I was young. I'm proud of who she is. I just know it won't be easy for her. I can't protect her from everything. That's very hard to accept when you're supposed to be a little girl's hero. She sang this with me tonight at bedtime. God knows how much this child means to me. I'll do right by her, nothing can change that. I just wish I gave her the family she deserves.

정말 가사처럼 나이가 들수록 힘들고 고통스러운게 맞는것 같음. 끊임없는 공부량과 과제,업무 등 겪으면서 소소한 행복을 느끼고 추억을 쌓고.. 중년이 되면 부모님을 떠나보내실때, 사회생활에 치밀어져 할수 없던 말, 매번 감사합니다 사랑합니다 . 결국 유골 앞에서 울고 사과하고.. 사람의 레파토리란게 이렇게 안타깝고 슬프다니..
When I hear " we're still fighting it" and " you're so much like me" I can't help but to think that Ben is talking about how sensitive and intuitive he and his son are and how much that affected him (Ben) growing up because the world is not kind to sweet souls and in turn led to a lot of depression and anxiety for him (Ben) which he is now seeing in his son as he grows up For which he feels apologetic for. This hits hard for me with the repetition of "we're still fighting it"
Still fighting to be yourself, fighting to remind kind and to not end up bitter. Fighting to be more that than things that happened to you as you grow up
thank you.. this is exactly what i imagine.. i also feel the same thing recently. depression and anxiety in the society. . so i am sorry to my daughter
슈밴 이찬솔님 노래 듣고 왔습니다. 진심이 담긴 노래에 가슴이 요동 치네요....
I used to hear this on Delilah when I was a kid on my first stereo in the late 90s when I’d be falling asleep and loved it. And then my dad passed away and it has always been special since then.
No matter how many times I listen to this song, I think about my kids and I ball my eyes out. Maybe one day they will come across this song/comment and know how much I love them and remember me.
I believe wholeheartedly that if they hear this song, you will be the first thing they think about. Maybe you could put the recording in a lockbox for safekeeping to be sure they do hear and knew how much you love him. It's hard to express how much love a person feels and learns about when they've had a child, so if your son/daughter has children, it will mean so much to them! My oldest son turned me on Ben Folds Five music after I had heard a, "Still Fighting It" cover in a Korean drama I was watching. Since I'm a musician/singer, the fact I didn't know this song nor whose cover it was is beyond me. :) So glad I do now. Good luck to your children and finding a way for them to hear this.
His son must be proud to have a dad who understand him like this. Alhamdulillah
Just by listening the first verse, it makes me cry instantly
Wow.
Much Tear.
Very Cry.
Such Scrubs
Many feels
Bex Unidentified such lyrics. wow
much wows
Man, I have a stoneheart, but... This song melt my feelings.
Man this video. My son is nine now and this song wrecks me everytime. "It was pain, sunny days and rain. I knew youd feel the same thing..."
Enjoy this time with him because they grow up SO FAST.
I have heard this song in JTBC's superband.
This song is Legend!!!!!
Always loved this tune. Never watched the video until today. I was still in high school when it released. I'm a father now and this makes me wish my son was in my arms right now.
I'm not crying...i'm just sweating through my eyes ;( ;(
I'm not crying... it's just been raining ... on my face.
It's just allergies, I swear :'')
Don't mind me! I'm just watering my beard alittle... It get's alittle dry in the summer
Caleb Lacy for your information theres an inflammation in my tear glad.
I've just been cutting onions. I'm making a lasagna...for one
The first song I was able to after months of no music after my dad died. Love Ben Folds with all my cells.
A speaker played this at a high school retreat and, being teenagers, we all kind of laughed at it. Years later, even though I don't have kids, I can appreciate how beautiful it is.
Aww, they played it for you high schoolers. You must have been precious, or some really special assholes lol
I've been listening to this song since I was a teenager, and only tonight I've seen the film clip for the first time and realised he's singing Good Morning, "Son". All that time I heard it as "sun"...now with a toddler myself, the song hits me in whole new way.
I love Ben Folds' voice, its just so soft and touching~
This has to be my favorite of all his songs though. The piano, the strings, the lyrics, just everything about this song is so beautiful.
+FritzyBeat I personally prefer his more Heavy Rock songs, but this is still an absolutely beautiful song. Way better than the shit on the radio now... God, screw that.
To this day, Ben managed to remain one of musical heroes.
This is my son and my song. When i first heard it i thought this is our song. I cry when i listen to it. My son and i were so lucky to go see Ben perform in Chicago in a small venue. Just Ben and his piano. It was amazing. The years your child is young you can never get them back so cherish every moment.
Thank you for liking my music and believing in the journey, So far has been a dream come true having amazing people as fans, i really do feel blessed. its has been your prayers and support that has kept i and my groups at our best. ❤️
슈퍼밴드 보고 들으러 왔어요 감동이네요..ㅠㅠ
One of the greatest songs ever made! You know how to really bring the emotion on, Ben Folds! This is the sweetest song in the world in my opinion! The instrumentals are fantastic too! This song makes me CRY! Hope everyone gets to hear you someday!
Ben, thank you for turning my emotions to words. When I held my son for the first time, your words came to mind. 4 years later, it still holds true.
The first time I heard this song I was pregnant with my son. I sobbed. It's his song now. Love it
My husband loves this beautiful song back in the 2000s and now hearing the Lee Chan Sol’s versión... thank you for your gift 🎁
ㅠㅡㅜ… 정말 멋진 노래 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다 아버지 생각이 많이 나네요…
I haven't listened to Ben Folds in what feels like ages and I woke up today with this song LOUD in my head. Guess it's a nostalgia kind of day.
Sending love and hope to everyone who sees this. 💜 It hurts to grow up, but we keep fighting.
God... watching him pound on the piano keys in the last chorus sends chills down my spine.
As a father who life separated from my Son, this song makes me cry in every single of the lyrics
Holy crap, Ben, it's 2019, and you're halfway to having those beers together.
Halfway?
This was realised on 11th september 2001 how is that half way
Joshua xuereb interesting day
Still one of the most underrated songs of all time.
My fiance sings this to our son to wake him up. Its my most favorite thing to watch in the entire world. I hit the jackpot. ❤
가사 지리네요
I have a very close relationship with my son despite only getting to see him every other weekend. This song and "You're My Star" by Stereophonics always make me tear up every time I hear them.
This song is just beautiful. The ache of years as you see your children grow up, and all the things you wished you taught them, and all the things they learned that you hope was enough flood each note.
I bought the sound the day it came out. I want to say right around 9/11. I used to listen to this song and imagine being a father. My son was born in 2012 and of course it came back into rotation. A year-and-a-half later I was in the middle of a divorce. The song have grown with me overtime and it means more and more as we get older. Here I am, almost 41...my Father is baraley hanging on and I have an 11 year old son. Being a single dad when your son is 15 months old is quite the experience. It created a bond that is unspeakable. Bravo, Ben
If you are here writing comments to this song your a great father. It’s just not the place the bad dads hang :)
My son and I suffered a traumatic birth. I'm sitting in his room in the NICU playing this and wow, it means sooo much more!
Ben is an original. He is a quintessentially American songwriting genius. Versatile and complex.
I saw him live in cologne in 2007. It was winter, the way back home was so full of snow, it was horrible! The concert was wonderful... I love him!
the kdrama "itaewon class" introduced this song to me. it was one of the OSTs. this is so good
shoot. I haven't listened to this in over 15 years. Hits completely differently.
oh man the memories. I played this song a hundred times back and forth to the hospital when my first son was born. Hes 15 now. I love the lyrics and the mood this song sets. Your so much like me... Im sorry. How powerful
부모님의 사랑에 다시금 감사합니다.
Anyone else here from Stray Kids? They played this during Jeongin's phone call with his parents in episode 9. ❤️❤️
This is such an amazing and beautiful song. It never fails to bring me close to tears. As a 15 year old, I appreciate this song very much, and it reminds me of my parents. I wonder how I'll view this song when I get older. I know I'm gonna keep coming back to this. ❤️
"It's OK, you don't have to pay"
How can such simple words be beautiful here...
Beautiful
This song makes me connect with every living being in the universe.
Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay
I've got all the change
Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
And you're so much like me
I'm sorry
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things
Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
Away from me
Good morning, son
I am a bird
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things
Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
And you're so much like me
I'm sorry
Charlizabeth Q thx sir
Love from Indonesia❤
What a wonderful song!
I feel this so much. Been listening to Ben Folds for many years. I feel we are very similar in thinking. This song always hits me hard when I think about life and my kids and how painful it can be. My life is so limited. My daughters are different like me. They're exceptional but they will and do hurt from it. We also recently lost their father who loved this music and was an exceptional and deep individual. I doubt anyone will read this but I wanted to say it.
so sorry for u and ur girls. sending love x
I'm sorry for your lost
I read it till the end. May you have strong shoulders. GBU and your daughters.
이찬솔님 노래 듣고 왔는데..... 역시나 감동
인생에 대해 생각하게 되네요.......
I am coming here after listening Korean tv program. This song make me think about the life and family..........
This song always makes me tear up
My father died 11 days after 9/11 in 2001. I remember when I first heard this song...I just cried my guts out missing him. I've been listening to it off and on for the last 18 years. I think he released it in 2002. I've always been a huge Ben Folds fan. Now that I have children of my own, I appreciate this song so much more. Ben Folds is lyrical and musical genius that still brings me to tears. In my opinion, he's one of the greatest artists in the last 30 years....and I don't say that lightly. This song in particular is so powerful and emotional when we all think about are own childhoods and our parents and then move forward in time as we have our own children. For most of us, our parents loved us and did the best they could...even though they made plenty of mistakes. As I try to parent my own kids...and make mistakes constantly, I can only hope they will forgive me and look upon me long after I've passed and know that I loved them. Just a great song!
What a great comment. RIP your dad, I’m sure he’s watching you, wherever he is. This album came out on 9/11 itself, just adding to the depth of this beautiful song.
Jesus christ that fucking line:
"You're so much like me; I'm sorry"...
I know right? So powerful.
Gets me every time
yea so gay
If you don't like yourself, don't have kids. I know I sure didn't.
This song is pure classic. I wish more songs like this in 2022 and years to come
슈퍼밴드에서 볼 때도 뭉클했는데 원곡 뮤비를 보니 더 울컥하네요ㅠㅜㅜ 멋진 노래 알게 해주셔서 감사합니다🙂
I can't even think about this song without crying and I'm not even a parent. I guess it makes me think of childhood with my dad picking us up on the weekends and all the strain on those relationships as you get older being in a broken home with parents who don't really express these sentiments.
superband jtbc brought me here and i’m so thankful because i get to discover another great songs from them ❣️
Thank you Itaewon class for bring me to this wonderful singer ✨
Ha ha! Also here because of Itaewon Class. I wish I had heard Ben Folds music long before now. This is such a beautiful song and touches my heart because my now 28 year old son and his dad often have a beer together. It’s a special place to arrive at with your child.
growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional
No its not listen to the song everybody knows it sucks to grow but everybody does
"in twenty years from now"... and counting. :-)
I don't know why it is still 2M.
Every child want to hear this ,it's really what every dad wanted to tell his son
my son of whom I am so proud has a son about the same age as Ben's son in the Video. The song and video just make me cry
I watched the tv show in southkorea now. I am impressed when i heard.
저도 그거 보고 왔네요 노래가 너무 좋아요
Same here^^ searched for this song after 이찬솔's performance.
