Where did this music go and why is it not in this generation?? I'm so confused. The best genre out there, such raw emotion and realism. So meaningful. Kids these days will never understand. I can't even listen to today's music. It's sad. I want rock to make a comeback but I fear it never will 😢
This song came out in 2001. I remember I began listening to it when I moved to Seattle in 2003. There was a radio station called “The Funky Monkey”. 104.9. The guy on the radio station would call out the name of the band or singer and the name of the song. I began my freshman year of high school in 2003 and it was awesome to listen to this song on my Walkman on my way home from school on the bus. It was amazing to be a teenager during a time like this in the early 2000s with such beautiful music. Now at age 36, I can only reminisce my youth and tell my nieces and nephews about it. They’re all still kids under 13, but I hope they one day can realize how beautiful those times were. To my millennials born in the mid 80s to early 90s, I salute you. We were the last great generation.
This song really nails how it feels to be a step parent and to go through a breakup. I miss that kid everyday and I think about her all of the time. At least I feel blessed for how she changed my life ❤️
I feel like this song is a perfect example, of the current state of collective consciousness in the world right now. I’ve lost all my friends, my family, nobody talks anymore, nobody cares. We’re all in this life together, but I’ve never felt so alone, I’m longing for how things used to be. If you’re reading this, I love you and hope everything painful, turns into something beautiful and actually worth the pain.
Same. Live alone, no friends, only my elderly mom for family. Most ppl don't seem to be interested in making friends. At least I'm working on several health problems and making gradual progress on a couple. The years go by faster and faster. Let's make the pain turn to beauty. Keep going.
@@OptimusPrimeribs at least you got your mom man, I lost mine to cancer in 2010 and dad to heart attack a few years later. But yeah man don't give up hope, keep trying to make friends and focus on yourself, health, and wealth, do what makes you happy!
Dear whoever is reading this, we don't know each other and there is a strong possibility we might never meet, but I wish nothing but the best and happiness for you ❤️🤙 P.S.- It was in the midst of COVID I had put this up thinking to spread a good word. 4 years later (2024 is ending as i write this) not a single day goes by I am not reminded of the fact that maybe all this world needs is a bit of love and hope. Thank you everyone ❤
Anyone can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a Dad. I was lucky to have that Dad. He was my mentor and my best friend . He passed away 3 years ago. I miss him so much. I am now carrying for my mom. She and my dad were married for 62 years. I can't imagine the heartache she fills every day. Dad, I am keeping my promise to take care of her. Just know I really miss you.
I’m in the same exact position and have been since 2017. It’s amazing how someone you’ve never met is going through the same journey. I made my dad the same promise. Always remember you’re a special person for doing what you do best wishes to you and your mom.
I have custody of my son, the moment he was born he became like the center of gravity for me, the moment he touched my hand in the NICU I knew then and there he deserved much more than the life he would have been brought into at the time…he’s 5 now, and I’d go through hell all over again no matter how many times I’d have to for him ❤️ he is and forever will be my reason.
I thought of it as the total opposite. I think anyone can be a dad. But it takes much more knowledge and patience to be a father. A father by name is much more noble and trustworthy. They are both fine by anyone's standards.. I guess I was abused by my dad and got repremanded for looking at him. He provided for us and we had a big cozy home.. but he was a closet alcoholic. Very physical and emotional abuse. My mom got the worst of it. For 35 yrs. I was 10 and waited up for them to come home from the dances on the weekend.. and watched him beat up my mom. Finally I got a bat and confronted them outside. Told him if he hits her one more time.. I'm hitting him. He tried to grab me and I hit him as hard as I could and he tried chasing me but he was drunk. I grabbed the car keys and put my mom in the car and took her to my sisters. I was 12 yrs old. Thx for the time.. peace
I fought for my son, and poured everything I had left into a custody battle, only to get screwed over by a judge who sided with a mentally ill mother. I haven't seen him in nearly four years. I hope one day he wakes up and shakes off her brainwashing. Love you, kiddo.
As a child of divorce who unfortunately was raised by an emotionally immature and mentally unwell mother i always sympathized with my father and once i grew up old enough to realize the truth of what went down my father has been my rock and my favorite parent. Have faith that your son will love you and know how things went down. No matter what our mothers tell us we will know who were those who truly loved us
I watched my Brother go thru this same thing, that kid will never come around due to mom's brain washing. Its Sad, so is death but we move on. You should too.
Leaving a comment to represent the kids like myself who didn't have the Dad that fought for them, who didn't protect them, and hurt them the most. This song takes a different perspective when you come from a place of longing for someone to take it all away and be there for you. He is dead now and I won't ever have a chance for it. Treat your kids with love and compassion because they remember forever.
Your comment ignores the root of the problem. People having babies that didn’t want babies. A child born from two people that love each other usually turns out to be a good person.
I can attest from both of your perspectives. I feel for the way Beasley explains not having a dad that didn't protect them. The way i feel on guitarcomet5's remark - not that I did not love my X . I knew i wasn't ready at that time. I wanted to wait till 28. I divorced when i was a 27 year old asshole. It haunts and hurts me to this day I don't have Son, Daughter, or a wife 16 yrs later 💔 completely my fault
@@Vendicative my story is relatable, then…. I was a 24 year old virgin. My ex-wife was a 16 year old that saw me as a ticket to get away from her parents and party like it’s 1999 (this was back in 1988). Being a rock guitarist in local bands, she thought my life was party central at the clubs. Far from it! I don’t drink (only smoke pot) and I wouldn’t allow her to drink. She hooked up with a younger guy that would buy her all the liquor she wanted. We were married for about 5 months when she ran off the first time. Back together after a week with drinking buddy, she ran off again. This time they shacked up for three months (until all the bills were due) then she moved back home with her parents…pregnant with buddy’s baby. Her mom ran buddy off and my ex tried to get back with me, but once I found out about the child she was carrying, I dumped her. Cold! She ended up marrying her high school sweetheart (who had missed her terribly for a few years). They had another baby but before it was born husband #2 started beating on her just like he used to do. So she left him. Hooked up with a man with 3 children of his own and did the Brady Bunch family thing for 15+ years…then dumped husband #3 for a much younger man (I call him her “pool boy”). Like father/mother, like son/daughter? Her son had a baby with a young lady. They’ve split up. Her daughter has had two babies by a man 12 years older than her. They split up. BTW, I’ve never had any children.
I took him as a “Perfect Example of what Not to Be…and thus, in a way of seeing it, he ended up Teaching me one of the most Important Lessons on How to tread this earth my friend. A Hard Lesson indeed. But it made me…Me
@@cindywilliams8434 True.......but a lot of the times, it's the father that ends up without custody. Both sides suffer......but men, in this case, do tend to suffer worse.
Yes! You get it. Much love back to you! YOUth & YOUthAtHeart - make sure everyday to give those who you consider your dad or mom, let them know that you love them & thanks for what they have given you. They don't have to be biological parents. Don't even have to be foster parents. They can simply be the adults that have and made a positive impact on your life. When you become an adult, in your own special way before it is too late, Say thanks to your mommy or daddy. "I am safe. You can retire. You can relax. I've got your back." It takes a village to raise a child. But it also takes a child to wreck havoc on the city. Dennis the Menance did it -why can't I? No, no, no. That's not how the game works....
My dad just passed. We had a great relationship and I’ll always love him for what he did for me. I’ll be there in his footsteps. But I’ll be the man he wanted me to be.
This coming April will be 10 years without my dad, you never stop missing him and his advice and the love he showed you but it does get easier over time. Stay strong. He's proud of the man you've become and the man you will be.
My husband of 26 years took his life. He was the love of my life. He had Bipolar disorder. When things were good, they were wonderful. When things weren’t good, they were so very difficult. But, if I could do it all over again, I’d still choose him, and if I could know what I know now, I’d do so much more to try to help him. This song may not have been written about this subject, but it really speaks to me. My family and I hurt so deeply, and I grieve for him all of the time.
Ouch, Star, I feel your pain. I suffered from bipolar, it's not pretty. I moved from Wisconsin to Vegas one month before 9/11, and was lucky enough to get a job running the Vegas branch of a national company. When this song came came on, it was my rule that everything came to a halt and the volume cranked. I hope you are doing well now, Star. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, and if you'd like to talk to a guy in Vegas, I'm here for you.
I've loved this song but never understood what it was about until I saw this video. At 65 I have failed at a lot of things throughout life except for one thing, raising my son without a wife. He's now 25 and in the Navy. Never fails to say "I love you Dad" at the end of our phone calls. It doesn't get better than that!
I used to play this song as a kid but now I'm a father and get the true MEANING! I hope everyone has a blessed life thru these tormenting times. I Love u Son ❣️❣️
this song is so incredibly beautiful. He is showing that despite his rough childhood with his father being unpresent & abusive he wanted to make sure his son had all the love and care he didn't get. I cry everytime, such a BEAUTIFUL song. It is his real son in the video too. This is what real music is to me.
This song is super underrated. My dad fought for over 7 years and poured every ounce of money and energy he had into getting custody of me and my sister. We were poor as dirt because of it but i wouldnt trade one second. He was paralyzed on his left side since he was 18 but never took any government assistance. He worked his crippled ass off every day to make sure we made it. This song always reminds me of the sacrifices he made to make sure we had a stable upbringing ❤️
That’s a really parent sweetheart and my daddy was the same way except our moms never wanted us especially my mom she really didn’t want me because I was born with spinal bifida my brother and sister mom just sucked in a different way. I’m happy your like me and seen the good that came out of us being raised by our dads even if we were dirt poor. Dang we lived off potatoes for along time but we loved it because he would makes us fries a lot, because that’s what we wanted dont with them. It was a treat to have hotdogs with it. Honestly I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m happy to see you were happy just the same 😊
Struggle makes You stronger. Your Dad is an inspiration for the care he took of you through his struggles. God Bless You that you may overcome Your obstacles.@@beaby1977
Damn, same goes for my dad. Let's all be proud of the dads that are true fighters in life. Fighting for whats important. I know he taught me how to fight for my son. God bless you.
What relationship with you dad is more valuable than all the money in the world. My dad was the same he passed and I miss him every day. Take advantage of every day you have him.
I found this song when me and my son were apart with no contact for a couple years and listened to it regularly. This expressed how I felt so well...I did get my son back FULL TIME ❤
This song always makes me emotional. Everything is so true, the people around you being fake. I separated when my son was 2 and lost so much time with him 50%, as a protector i dont think i ever thought about the time loss when things were going south.. I did everything i could but always got shat on by the ex it made things so stressful, especially when you mean well and try so hard.. Its been good now for few years as co parents but damn this song gets me eveytime thinking of the past and all the precious time loss being a dad. Id do anything to go back and be there everyday for my son, he's 9 now and we have the best father son relationship and I never want to lose that.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there that truly make an effort to be in their child's life. Society needs all the positive male role models they can get now more than ever.
You are so right.....everything is about women and to ensure their rights. And thats good But the broken hearted dads out there are forgotten.... Let's stay together...we are not alone....let's feel each other...it doesn't matter we're we are coming from, we have all the same feeling and concerns... Let's be strong...we are not alone ...
Tee Gee keep fighting for your kids! I got custody of my daughter 13 years ago, it hasn’t been easy but seeing her graduate from high school and hold down a job makes me really proud. Good luck to all the dads out there fighting for their kids! We used to jam this song when I’d pick her up on my weekends before I got custody, she mentioned hearing it a few weeks ago and realizing what it was about
@teegee9301 case in point when I mentioned my addiction my uncle called me gay . Sadly us men are rhe ones who think we're so cool and badass and any mention of your feelings I guarantee the man next to you will laugh
Hearing it as a kid and loving the sound. Then, Growing up, having a son and the message really hitting you makes you fall in love with the song all over again.
First heard it when I was 14, loved it immediately. Now I'm 34 with a young daughter, I can't finish watching the video without shedding a tear. Like damn I will do everything just to give my kid a beautiful life.
Songs like this has true meaning behind the lyrics. Especially when you have gone through tough times growing up. I love this song on so many different levels. Every now and then, this song would get stuck in my head even if I had not heard it in a long time.
As someone who grew up without a father I love this song. It makes me cry. I have been incarcerated since I was 18 this song makes me wonder will I ever get that chance to raise a son and become the father I never had
As long as you genuinely mean it, ask Father God. He will bring into your life whatever is righteous. Ask Him if He will lead you to Him, then you'll have a real example to show your son, or daughter, or both.
My brother.. I feel for you .. have faith in yourself and know that a man who thinks like you truly deserves the chance to bring a child into this world and explore it side by side .. you've got an ear out here .. love n respect brother
"When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero."
Music is universal...Im a black man and thus is literally one of my favorite songs EVER MADE IN LIFE.. definitely in my top 10...this song brings back so many memories, even in high school every time this song and video came on I would NOT leave until it was over, dong care where I was or how late I was..if this came on dammit Ima listen..good job on this one guys!! I love it, always and forever!!
Hell, it hit hard when I was a 14 year old runaway. I remember bawling my eyes out watching the vid, wondering why my parents didn't care about me. 🥲 I'm in my 30s now, still wondering. I now have a toddler & definitely see him in the young boy in the vid. So now it's ✨layered✨ emotions lol
My sister and I listened to song together screaming the lyrics cuz we were going through an abuse household at the time. This song help us get through it. We screamed take away it all away!! She passed 4 yrs old n I miss her so much!!!😢😢😢
This song means so much to me, I lost my father at a young age & seeing this music video with the kid always makes me cry & think of my dad. He put me on this whole wave of music & I still miss him. Suicide to me was always a selfish move but I forgive him. Shout out to everyone else who uses music to deal with pain.
I hope your in a better place now. As a father who’s battled various bouts of depression and suicide attempts I feel your pain but I can also understand your dads pain too. Be strong 👍🏼
My guy, I hope you are good. I'm sorry for your father - that life overcame him - but I hope you will amplify his strength and be stronger. Sometime as men we get put in what we perceive are unwinnable situations. Sometimes even in situations where it seems it would be better if we were gone. Life is hard. I hope all men - and all fathers - can persevere.
My soulmate introduced me to this song. While he's going through a tough time. Both of us , listening to this shile were apart from each other but still connected by the heart. I pray all works out
2022.... Still feeling it. I don't care how many years it's been, this still hits the heart. (edit: 2024 still hits the heart. Great seeing all the comments😉Cheers)
How’s it going? Sounds like you had a rough upbringing like me too. I’m currently getting therapy and it helps a lot. I also have two children. It has helped me and raising them to get myself better. I hope you are doing the same friend.

I used to love this song as a teenager. Years on and being a father of two little girls, I love this song and understand it on another level. I know what it's like to miss your children intensely, your world turns upside down. And the pain.... Jesus Christ, the pain.
I agree with ShadowzZ91. I have daughters also. This song makes Me think about My 1st daughter. She was taken to another state when She was 2 & a half years old. The pain of that You don't ever get rid of..... She's older now. I had a stroke and forgot that pain for 20+years. I heard this song by chance on the radio on My way into dialysis and had to find this video. The pain has returned. I remembered how I felt when My daughter was taken from Me....... A Father's Love.
trust in the blood of Jesus and you'll be saved, and see greater things in eternity love you bro and ill pray for you and your family have hope you will make it out of the pain I promise
I am 66 years old, and this song rocks! Very under rated. How did I ever miss this in my life in the past? Dont know, better late than never. Blasting this in my car when I drive. Love it. Once in a lifetime an unusual song comes out that is timeless. This is one.
In 2014 my dad was diagnosed with leukemia. Everyone said to let him pass. I fought for him to be treated and God have me another nine months with him. This song helped carry me through it all.

I’m 49 years old, I have to say that the more I listen to the music from 1992-1999 , in my opinion these are some of the best singles ever written . Scratchy Rock
Seven/eight year old memories and how much I missed my dad when he was dealing with the grips of addiction. He’s been sober for twenty years now, twin daughters and his wife/best friend. I’m so proud of him. One of my most played songs. :’)
I admire the Americans that have their flag on their veranda, if we had the union flag or St George cross out here in the UK we'd be called racist or chav, God help Europe..
I miss my son every single day. He just lives on the westcoast and I'm in Chicago. But even tho I miss him too death, he's what keeps me goin so I can eventually see him hopefully this year. I hope you all are doing well or I hope this message will be a miracle in a bottle for you. Love u all
This reminds me of me and my Dad when I was a kid, I never lived with him but I always got to stay over at his every weekend and we were like best mates, he passed away about a little over a year ago and all I can think of is those memories, this music video from me is dedicated to him, R.I.P Dad be at peace
TheMetalhead678 he sounds like a good dad, anyone can be a father but being a dad is what makes you a good man, I have a son who I see every second weekend and thars not enough for me, my son is my best friend and we have best memories ever, keep those memories you have of your dad and you know in your heart he loved you and no one can ever take that away
Remember listening to this song as a kid wondering where my dad was, hoping he would show up and save me from all the trauma going on in my childhood. Met him at 14 years old, stopped communicating at 16, and then found him on Facebook and stayed in touch up until his passing 2015. Addiction sucks. Rest in Heaven Dad. I know you were trying to turn your life around. I forgive you.
I CAN relate 100 he wasn't my blood father but anytime I ride around the ole hood it makes me think if I had an issue or problem with a car relationship LIFE I could go see him he'd fix within a day or 2 !!
Love this tune. Reminds me when I was 21 and had a beautiful son. Loved him until the day he died 12/17/21 of COVID and pneumonia. We had a wonderful relationship and I will always love and miss him. I am completely devastated and will never be the same. I’ll see you soon Eric.
Got married in 01. Had my first kid in 01. I remember listening and watching this song on tv while holding my first child while I rocked her back and forth on the chair. She’s graduated recently from college. Years later I’m still married and my second child is graduating from high school. Kids are a beautiful aspect of life/they make you become better people/you realize your life is not your own anymore. Timeless song. Thanks Wes:)
i dont know why im so sentimental bout this now. maybe because i never had someone who i could call father before. so here i am feeling so envy for your children.
@@wangpup9297 I’m so sorry to hear that:( I don’t know if you believe in God or not…but he is your Heavenly Father. I will pray for you this day, that you find comfort, peace, safety in his loving grace. Hang in there my friend. This world is a harsh place and is meant to bring us down. May God grant you strength to carry on.
I was sucked in when I first heard the fantastic harmonics between the rhythm and lead guitars 20 years ago. The use of harmonics in this song still captivates me. Wes is a great songwriter.
Didn’t think life would get so hard the older you get, and the more you start thinking about anything and everything. I want to go back to when I heard this song for the first time
I don't have Children...but they are worth fighting for....God Bless...The things I have done to people and and ex's....drinking (it took me 25 years to admit that LOL) etc. I gave my life to Christ....you wouldn't believe the Miracles in my life...some even supernatural. God Bless. I don't even have a wife...I want children but God might not let me.
If you’re looking for someone real, look to Jesus. I know it sounds crazy but He’s so real and He loves you very much. He gave himself up for all of us, to take the punishment for our sins, and God raised Him up again 3 days later. Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God in heaven, interceding on our behalf and will return to earth for us one day. Blessings!
To all fathers who have been through this, as I have, those going through this, never give up, EVER, Fatherhood is the greatest gift and love of all. Every child deserves a good dad. Get the best legal advice you can, keep records of your efforts of attendance, utilise support groups or dad help services, keep focused on the love you have for your child, believe me it is worth it despite the countless tears and pain you go through, to see them grow with love and become a unique individual and to hear "I love dad", nothing is better. DADS FOR KIDS
@@daphineheck3335 So sorry to hear my heart goes out to you. My dad never cared & was never there. I made an oath to myself, be the dad I never had, Repeat or break the cycle. I stuck through it for 15+ years, I can't explain the emotional pain and financial loss year after year I went through, but the amazing relationship I have sustained with my child, despite my ex's evil doings, gives me the motivation & love to be the best loving & fulfilling dad I can be with child no matter what. I wish you all the best in life from the bottom of my heart & also to all others in your situation. I totally understand. Take care of yourself & your child first & foremost. DADS FOR KIDS. Being a great dad is the greatest gift in life.
Reminded of this video from back in the day. After watching it, i just now I contacted my dad who I've not spoken to in 8 years, neither of us remember the reason. I'm not ashamed to admit we both welled up a bit. Arranged to see him this Friday.
Thanks for the replies. I've seen him twice since. It's not like the movies where the reconciliation is swift and butterfly laden. I told him he hasn't been the best dad but then I probably haven't been the best son either. We don't have that much in common but it is good to finally be settling in to a semblance of comfort with him. We have also set some ground rules down to make sure this sort of thing never happens again. The primary thing being communication. To any of you currently not on speaking terms with someone, sometimes the best thing to do is to bite the bullet, be the mature one and see what *you* can do....at least that's my humble take on it.
Huge congrats on getting back together with your dad. My dad died before we could re conciliate. This song and video touch a beautiful place in all of us, I think who understand what loss is about. I lost my partner in an unwanted divorce and the video of course reminds me so much of those times and how sometimes, love continues no matter what happens. Powerful stuff. Best wishes. Dasten
Ive never had kids but if i did or one day do i would never abandon them at all, thats messed up to do things like that. The mind of a child is where the revolution begins. How can people have the heart to walk away from that in life. Id do anything to see my kid happy if i ever had one and the baby mama . And never walk away , kids are blessings , they are the future. ❤
This song has to go in a greatest songs of all time list somewhere! Its really a perfect roller-coaster of emotions and feelings exploding into melodies and riffs that are to die for!
That's how it makes me feel too, I recently just went through a break up and music like this has helped me through it and to forget about it. This music and A Flock of Seagulls music helps me a lot, I just focus on school and forget about the whole thing.
I miss this kind of music. We need more like this.
Yes yes yes ❤
I love this. I heard it on Radio klos 95.5 fm with Heidi and Frank. Great channel for old time songs like this. Love it. 😊.

Where did this music go and why is it not in this generation?? I'm so confused. The best genre out there, such raw emotion and realism. So meaningful. Kids these days will never understand. I can't even listen to today's music. It's sad. I want rock to make a comeback but I fear it never will 😢
This song came out in 2001. I remember I began listening to it when I moved to Seattle in 2003. There was a radio station called “The Funky Monkey”. 104.9. The guy on the radio station would call out the name of the band or singer and the name of the song. I began my freshman year of high school in 2003 and it was awesome to listen to this song on my Walkman on my way home from school on the bus. It was amazing to be a teenager during a time like this in the early 2000s with such beautiful music. Now at age 36, I can only reminisce my youth and tell my nieces and nephews about it. They’re all still kids under 13, but I hope they one day can realize how beautiful those times were. To my millennials born in the mid 80s to early 90s, I salute you. We were the last great generation.
Agreed
I had this son on a mix cd
Wasent aloud to listen to anything but Cristian music which I also loved
Salute

Is that what this song is about? I was always wondering, never seen the music video tho
Respect my friend. Takes a man to admit that
I feel like this song is a perfect example, of the current state of collective consciousness in the world right now. I’ve lost all my friends, my family, nobody talks anymore, nobody cares. We’re all in this life together, but I’ve never felt so alone, I’m longing for how things used to be. If you’re reading this, I love you and hope everything painful, turns into something beautiful and actually worth the pain.

Same. Live alone, no friends, only my elderly mom for family. Most ppl don't seem to be interested in making friends. At least I'm working on several health problems and making gradual progress on a couple. The years go by faster and faster. Let's make the pain turn to beauty. Keep going.

P.S.- It was in the midst of COVID I had put this up thinking to spread a good word. 4 years later (2024 is ending as i write this) not a single day goes by I am not reminded of the fact that maybe all this world needs is a bit of love and hope. Thank you everyone ❤
Same to you my friend.
You too brother 🤙🏼
Love you who ever you are
Thank you, you as well 🤘🏼
Same to you! :)
Anyone can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a Dad. I was lucky to have that Dad. He was my mentor and my best friend . He passed away 3 years ago. I miss him so much. I am now carrying for my mom. She and my dad were married for 62 years. I can't imagine the heartache she fills every day.
Dad, I am keeping my promise to take care of her. Just know I really miss you.
Hugs
I’m in the same exact position and have been since 2017. It’s amazing how someone you’ve never met is going through the same journey. I made my dad the same promise. Always remember you’re a special person for doing what you do best wishes to you and your mom.
Stay strong my friend.
I have custody of my son, the moment he was born he became like the center of gravity for me, the moment he touched my hand in the NICU I knew then and there he deserved much more than the life he would have been brought into at the time…he’s 5 now, and I’d go through hell all over again no matter how many times I’d have to for him ❤️ he is and forever will be my reason.
I thought of it as the total opposite. I think anyone can be a dad. But it takes much more knowledge and patience to be a father. A father by name is much more noble and trustworthy. They are both fine by anyone's standards.. I guess I was abused by my dad and got repremanded for looking at him. He provided for us and we had a big cozy home.. but he was a closet alcoholic. Very physical and emotional abuse. My mom got the worst of it. For 35 yrs. I was 10 and waited up for them to come home from the dances on the weekend.. and watched him beat up my mom. Finally I got a bat and confronted them outside. Told him if he hits her one more time.. I'm hitting him. He tried to grab me and I hit him as hard as I could and he tried chasing me but he was drunk. I grabbed the car keys and put my mom in the car and took her to my sisters. I was 12 yrs old. Thx for the time.. peace
I fought for my son, and poured everything I had left into a custody battle, only to get screwed over by a judge who sided with a mentally ill mother. I haven't seen him in nearly four years. I hope one day he wakes up and shakes off her brainwashing. Love you, kiddo.
Stay strong brother and have faith.
One day you'll laugh about the missed times while you have a beer with him. Stay healthy for him.
As a child of divorce who unfortunately was raised by an emotionally immature and mentally unwell mother i always sympathized with my father and once i grew up old enough to realize the truth of what went down my father has been my rock and my favorite parent. Have faith that your son will love you and know how things went down. No matter what our mothers tell us we will know who were those who truly loved us
I watched my Brother go thru this same thing, that kid will never come around due to mom's brain washing. Its Sad, so is death but we move on. You should too.

"Eveyone is changing, there is no one left thats real".... The realist shit ever
Ironic
Only the weak change, the strong remain real.
Except me ! Stay true to who YOU are and mind no others
It is.
💔
I am 50 and never imagined how nostalgic this would be for me. God help me I miss the 90’s more than my heart can say.
This is an 00s song but I understand the sentiment.
Same...I fully understand.
I missed out, born 2008 and wish I was there
I’m closing in on 40 and 😓😭😭😭 I wish we could have the 90s again. Much like Biden attempts at stairs we’re climbing downwards.
@michà bro I feel you. This was the last good times for humanity in this era. I wish we could have all stayed there together.
Heard this song all growing up... never seen the video until today, 20 years later.. I am in tears, never knew it was about his kid.
Leaving a comment to represent the kids like myself who didn't have the Dad that fought for them, who didn't protect them, and hurt them the most. This song takes a different perspective when you come from a place of longing for someone to take it all away and be there for you. He is dead now and I won't ever have a chance for it. Treat your kids with love and compassion because they remember forever.
Your comment ignores the root of the problem. People having babies that didn’t want babies.
A child born from two people that love each other usually turns out to be a good person.
I can attest from both of your perspectives. I feel for the way Beasley explains not having a dad that didn't protect them. The way i feel on guitarcomet5's remark - not that I did not love my X . I knew i wasn't ready at that time. I wanted to wait till 28.
I divorced when i was a 27 year old asshole. It haunts and hurts me to this day I don't have Son, Daughter, or a wife 16 yrs later 💔 completely my fault
@@Vendicative my story is relatable, then….
I was a 24 year old virgin. My ex-wife was a 16 year old that saw me as a ticket to get away from her parents and party like it’s 1999 (this was back in 1988). Being a rock guitarist in local bands, she thought my life was party central at the clubs. Far from it! I don’t drink (only smoke pot) and I wouldn’t allow her to drink. She hooked up with a younger guy that would buy her all the liquor she wanted. We were married for about 5 months when she ran off the first time. Back together after a week with drinking buddy, she ran off again. This time they shacked up for three months (until all the bills were due) then she moved back home with her parents…pregnant with buddy’s baby. Her mom ran buddy off and my ex tried to get back with me, but once I found out about the child she was carrying, I dumped her. Cold!
She ended up marrying her high school sweetheart (who had missed her terribly for a few years). They had another baby but before it was born husband #2 started beating on her just like he used to do. So she left him. Hooked up with a man with 3 children of his own and did the Brady Bunch family thing for 15+ years…then dumped husband #3 for a much younger man (I call him her “pool boy”).
Like father/mother, like son/daughter?
Her son had a baby with a young lady. They’ve split up.
Her daughter has had two babies by a man 12 years older than her. They split up.
BTW, I’ve never had any children.
I took him as a “Perfect Example of what Not to Be…and thus, in a way of seeing it, he ended up Teaching me one of the most Important Lessons on How to tread this earth my friend.
A Hard Lesson indeed. But it made me…Me
💙💙💙
This song speaks to all loving fathers who do not have access to their children.
And Mother's!!
Also to mothers
@@cindywilliams8434 True.......but a lot of the times, it's the father that ends up without custody. Both sides suffer......but men, in this case, do tend to suffer worse.
There are other songs for mothers.
for a job of family isssues the love never ends
Much respect to all of the father’s that hung in there and continued to raise the kids right despite the issues we may have went through. Love.
Word 💪
@@shaderhartjr3305
Yes! You get it. Much love back to you! YOUth & YOUthAtHeart - make sure everyday to give those who you consider your dad or mom, let them know that you love them & thanks for what they have given you. They don't have to be biological parents. Don't even have to be foster parents. They can simply be the adults that have and made a positive impact on your life. When you become an adult, in your own special way before it is too late, Say thanks to your mommy or daddy. "I am safe. You can retire. You can relax. I've got your back." It takes a village to raise a child. But it also takes a child to wreck havoc on the city. Dennis the Menance did it -why can't I? No, no, no. That's not how the game works....
😅
My love is always
My dad just passed. We had a great relationship and I’ll always love him for what he did for me. I’ll be there in his footsteps. But I’ll be the man he wanted me to be.
I lost my dad, my best friend to me, always had my back way back in 1996,I miss him every day, hang in there
This coming April will be 10 years without my dad, you never stop missing him and his advice and the love he showed you but it does get easier over time. Stay strong. He's proud of the man you've become and the man you will be.
love you! hes proud of you!
"Everyone is changing, there's no one left that's real". Crazy how much that line hits as you get older.
Yep so true
It gets more real when you get older! You realize more!
I'm crying right now. What a song!
Bro I was thinking the same thing... I felt it back then but it's almost prophetic these days lol
yup
My husband of 26 years took his life. He was the love of my life. He had Bipolar disorder. When things were good, they were wonderful. When things weren’t good, they were so very difficult. But, if I could do it all over again, I’d still choose him, and if I could know what I know now, I’d do so much more to try to help him. This song may not have been written about this subject, but it really speaks to me. My family and I hurt so deeply, and I grieve for him all of the time.
Bipolar's a hard thing to live with. You can't ever really hold onto any sense of who you are or what you can do because it's always changing.
Ouch, Star, I feel your pain. I suffered from bipolar, it's not pretty. I moved from Wisconsin to Vegas one month before 9/11, and was lucky enough to get a job running the Vegas branch of a national company. When this song came came on, it was my rule that everything came to a halt and the volume cranked. I hope you are doing well now, Star. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, and if you'd like to talk to a guy in Vegas, I'm here for you.
All we can do is make the best of the time we have. It sounds like you chose wisely. God bless
@@brakedrummerz thank you. I may take you up on that offer.
@@macmccullough1453 thank you.
I've loved this song but never understood what it was about until I saw this video. At 65 I have failed at a lot of things throughout life except for one thing, raising my son without a wife. He's now 25 and in the Navy. Never fails to say "I love you Dad" at the end of our phone calls. It doesn't get better than that!
U raised him well. Good job at that. Material things don't matter if you are a good parent.
I don't think life, told you how much it loves you today X

I wish you, your son and hole familiy a wonderful time on this earth!

Same here!
Genio descripción de una realidad en un gran tema,me toca el Cuore.
this song is so incredibly beautiful. He is showing that despite his rough childhood with his father being unpresent & abusive he wanted to make sure his son had all the love and care he didn't get. I cry everytime, such a BEAUTIFUL song. It is his real son in the video too. This is what real music is to me.
@@user-yn5bg2vc4l yes i did my research!! he is a great man and musician. truly
@briannarogers thanks for the research ❤
I miss this kind of music SOOOO bad. Looking back at it with bittersweet nostalgia may be the closest we ever get again
@@clamchowder622 i know nobody puts the work in these days anymore to make good quality ,relatable, meaningful, and BEAUTIFUL music
This is his real son in the video
This song is super underrated. My dad fought for over 7 years and poured every ounce of money and energy he had into getting custody of me and my sister. We were poor as dirt because of it but i wouldnt trade one second. He was paralyzed on his left side since he was 18 but never took any government assistance. He worked his crippled ass off every day to make sure we made it. This song always reminds me of the sacrifices he made to make sure we had a stable upbringing ❤️
That’s a really parent sweetheart and my daddy was the same way except our moms never wanted us especially my mom she really didn’t want me because I was born with spinal bifida my brother and sister mom just sucked in a different way. I’m happy your like me and seen the good that came out of us being raised by our dads even if we were dirt poor. Dang we lived off potatoes for along time but we loved it because he would makes us fries a lot, because that’s what we wanted dont with them. It was a treat to have hotdogs with it. Honestly I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m happy to see you were happy just the same 😊
Struggle makes You stronger. Your Dad is an inspiration for the care he took of you through his struggles. God Bless You that you may overcome Your obstacles.@@beaby1977
Que a força esteja sempre com você guerreiro
Damn, same goes for my dad. Let's all be proud of the dads that are true fighters in life. Fighting for whats important. I know he taught me how to fight for my son. God bless you.
What relationship with you dad is more valuable than all the money in the world. My dad was the same he passed and I miss him every day. Take advantage of every day you have him.
I found this song when me and my son were apart with no contact for a couple years and listened to it regularly. This expressed how I felt so well...I did get my son back FULL TIME ❤
Yes brother
This is that song for sure
Congratulations to you I think this is exactly what this song is about
I am going through the same stuff!! Congratulations on getting your kids back!!👏👏
congrats to you bro
This song always makes me emotional. Everything is so true, the people around you being fake. I separated when my son was 2 and lost so much time with him 50%, as a protector i dont think i ever thought about the time loss when things were going south.. I did everything i could but always got shat on by the ex it made things so stressful, especially when you mean well and try so hard..
Its been good now for few years as co parents but damn this song gets me eveytime thinking of the past and all the precious time loss being a dad. Id do anything to go back and be there everyday for my son, he's 9 now and we have the best father son relationship and I never want to lose that.
The early 2000s rock was definitely something special. Just a 39 year old cruising down memory lane
Right on brother. I'm still cruising and I'm 62. Rock on!

Agree with you bud it just hits different 👌
First heard it when I was 14, loved it immediately. Now I'm 34 with a young daughter, I can't finish watching the video without shedding a tear. Like damn I will do everything just to give my kid a beautiful life.
Songs like this has true meaning behind the lyrics. Especially when you have gone through tough times growing up. I love this song on so many different levels. Every now and then, this song would get stuck in my head even if I had not heard it in a long time.
So true, my friend friends to the end.
Heart wrenching? 😢
Me Too!
Im a father currently in a battle fighting for residential custody of my son. This song and the video hits close to home
Keep fighting! Don't ever stop!
Same brother, wish you luck
Stay in that fight. Because defeat is temporary where victory isn't.
All the best ❤
As someone who grew up without a father I love this song. It makes me cry. I have been incarcerated since I was 18 this song makes me wonder will I ever get that chance to raise a son and become the father I never had
The fact that you can speak those words shows to me that you have the understanding to at least give yourself the chance.
As long as you genuinely mean it, ask Father God. He will bring into your life whatever is righteous. Ask Him if He will lead you to Him, then you'll have a real example to show your son, or daughter, or both.
My brother.. I feel for you .. have faith in yourself and know that a man who thinks like you truly deserves the chance to bring a child into this world and explore it side by side .. you've got an ear out here .. love n respect brother

This song means so much to me, I lost my father at a young age & seeing this music video with the kid always makes me cry & think of my dad. He put me on this whole wave of music & I still miss him. Suicide to me was always a selfish move but I forgive him. Shout out to everyone else who uses music to deal with pain.
I hope your in a better place now. As a father who’s battled various bouts of depression and suicide attempts I feel your pain but I can also understand your dads pain too.
Be strong 👍🏼
I send a big and strong hug to you, and I hope your dad's in peace wherever he is now.
You do the right thing.
My guy, I hope you are good. I'm sorry for your father - that life overcame him - but I hope you will amplify his strength and be stronger. Sometime as men we get put in what we perceive are unwinnable situations. Sometimes even in situations where it seems it would be better if we were gone. Life is hard. I hope all men - and all fathers - can persevere.
Stay strong remember energy cannot be destroyed or created only transferred he’s watching you from up above stay strong 💪

I agree with ShadowzZ91. I have daughters also. This song makes Me think about My 1st daughter. She was taken to another state when She was 2 & a half years old. The pain of that You don't ever get rid of..... She's older now. I had a stroke and forgot that pain for 20+years. I heard this song by chance on the radio on My way into dialysis and had to find this video. The pain has returned. I remembered how I felt when My daughter was taken from Me....... A Father's Love.
trust in the blood of Jesus and you'll be saved, and see greater things in eternity love you bro and ill pray for you and your family have hope you will make it out of the pain I promise

Ashton Freeman This song was just playing in the radio and I came here to listen again 😂 I live in Brazil.
Hail Brazil :D
I miss my son every single day. He just lives on the westcoast and I'm in Chicago. But even tho I miss him too death, he's what keeps me goin so I can eventually see him hopefully this year. I hope you all are doing well or I hope this message will be a miracle in a bottle for you. Love u all
This song is my motivation for him.
This reminds me of me and my Dad when I was a kid, I never lived with him but I always got to stay over at his every weekend and we were like best mates, he passed away about a little over a year ago and all I can think of is those memories, this music video from me is dedicated to him, R.I.P Dad be at peace
TheMetalhead678 he sounds like a good dad, anyone can be a father but being a dad is what makes you a good man, I have a son who I see every second weekend and thars not enough for me, my son is my best friend and we have best memories ever, keep those memories you have of your dad and you know in your heart he loved you and no one can ever take that away
I'm Sorry Man R.I.P to ur Father
Remember listening to this song as a kid wondering where my dad was, hoping he would show up and save me from all the trauma going on in my childhood. Met him at 14 years old, stopped communicating at 16, and then found him on Facebook and stayed in touch up until his passing 2015.
Addiction sucks. Rest in Heaven Dad. I know you were trying to turn your life around. I forgive you.
Your father is always watching you and he forgives u for what u haven't done yet..
Oof that's a tear jerker, sending love and respect your way friend 🇨🇦🇺🇦
Father of mine makes me feel that way!
I CAN relate 100 he wasn't my blood father but anytime I ride around the ole hood it makes me think if I had an issue or problem with a car relationship LIFE I could go see him he'd fix within a day or 2 !!
That's being a great son! Thankyou!
man I miss my boy....I hope and pray to have him by my side soon....
I wish you the best with your kid Jose
Thank you very much....I had some time with him today😁
+Jose Quintero youre not alone bro...aint seen mine in years
+Jose Quintero i feel you bro
+Jose Quintero Rest assured, we will fight for you and your kid.
Browsing RUclips at 3am January 2025 and this came up. I've always felt this band was underrated especially after the grunge era.
@Leerewelle Very well said. Grunge is my favorite music genre and Alice in Chains is my favorite band, but puddle of mudd had a great sound too.
Love this tune. Reminds me when I was 21 and had a beautiful son. Loved him until the day he died 12/17/21 of COVID and pneumonia. We had a wonderful relationship and I will always love and miss him. I am completely devastated and will never be the same. I’ll see you soon Eric.
Here to talk man. hope your doing well. reach out if you need someone to talk to. take care .
God bless you, Dorsey McVicker.
My deepest condolences to you and your family..Glenn from Massachusetts
God bless you.
I am so sorry for your loss. From on stranger to another, whoever and wherever you are, know that someone cares and wishes that you find peace.
Back when music had meaning. I am 35 and puddle of mud was a huge part of my playlist back then. Such a great band.
My man! Nailed it! Those born between 80-87 live and breath this shit like it’s part of our DNA! This era makes us feel alive again.
I was born in 84 and this song hits me still in 2022
this days u dont have this music ,87 hare
boomer comment
I feel ya bro I’m 34
18 years later these songs just hit different!!
grown up...
22 years...
For real!!!!!!
True, on me it hit hard!
So true
miss this era
Got married in 01. Had my first kid in 01. I remember listening and watching this song on tv while holding my first child while I rocked her back and forth on the chair. She’s graduated recently from college.
Years later I’m still married and my second child is graduating from high school.
Kids are a beautiful aspect of life/they make you become better people/you realize your life is not your own anymore.
Timeless song. Thanks Wes:)
Damn ur words hit my soul so good!!!
i dont know why im so sentimental bout this now. maybe because i never had someone who i could call father before. so here i am feeling so envy for your children.
@@wangpup9297 I’m so sorry to hear that:(
I don’t know if you believe in God or not…but he is your Heavenly Father. I will pray for you this day, that you find comfort, peace, safety in his loving grace.
Hang in there my friend. This world is a harsh place and is meant to bring us down. May God grant you strength to carry on.
Congrats, to your family 🎉
Thats right
I was sucked in when I first heard the fantastic harmonics between the rhythm and lead guitars 20 years ago. The use of harmonics in this song still captivates me. Wes is a great songwriter.
Right on.
top musica
He is. I hope he gets help and gets better.
Didn’t think life would get so hard the older you get, and the more you start thinking about anything and everything. I want to go back to when I heard this song for the first time
Me too
Me 2
Same
Who's bumping this n 2025🎉
This song turns 20 this year. So glad I found this. Too much nostalgia.
Happy new years, folks.
Same to you many blessings!!!
Happy new year. Here's to another 20.
I remember when this song came out, those were good times.
@@thegodfather1907 the last of good rock music
Things were not as hectic back then as they are today.
So many memories bound to this track. Hits me harder every time. I love this song!
Hell yea!
same...
Especially ace combat 5
Me too. Too much nostalgia

This song still leaves me in a puddle of tears, missing my kids
I don't have Children...but they are worth fighting for....God Bless...The things I have done to people and and ex's....drinking (it took me 25 years to admit that LOL) etc. I gave my life to Christ....you wouldn't believe the Miracles in my life...some even supernatural. God Bless. I don't even have a wife...I want children but God might not let me.
this song leaves me in a puddle of mudd
@@ajaxslamgoody9736 you do deserve children. They are an awesome/blessed gift and responsibility.
I miss my kids but my aim is getting better.
I wrote this song for my son ruclips.net/video/KzPE0nLkPCE/видео.html 🖤
This song reminds me of the worst moment in my life...but I love it and can't stop listening.
Man, I miss songs like this. Songs that spoke from the heart!
Yes! Barely any new music that's popular speaks from the heart, it's such a shame
@@lorideprod. So True!
It's crazy when your 5 year old knows the lyrics to old school that you are used to listening to, lol
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘
Crazy how these songs from our youth become so relevant as adults.
☹️
Crazy isn't it!
So true
I agree 100 percent this song made me pretty emotional now and it was my favorite when I was a kid
Just about every song has an unsettling amount of truth to it as you get older.
Absolutely
After all these years this song still a masterpiece. One of the greatest ballads of all time 💙
*years, this
*💙.
College years. Engineering days. Now checking 02 Feb 2025
That first line is everything “Everything’s so blurry and everyone’s soo fake” I felt that in my soul about the life we live
Wow that's deep Damm I totally feel music in my soul it's incredible
Ya I no
If you’re looking for someone real, look to Jesus. I know it sounds crazy but He’s so real and He loves you very much. He gave himself up for all of us, to take the punishment for our sins, and God raised Him up again 3 days later. Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God in heaven, interceding on our behalf and will return to earth for us one day. Blessings!
To all fathers who have been through this, as I have, those going through this, never give up, EVER, Fatherhood is the greatest gift and love of all. Every child deserves a good dad. Get the best legal advice you can, keep records of your efforts of attendance, utilise support groups or dad help services, keep focused on the love you have for your child, believe me it is worth it despite the countless tears and pain you go through, to see them grow with love and become a unique individual and to hear "I love dad", nothing is better. DADS FOR KIDS
The struggle is real brother.
Im with you brother😢😢😢
@@RovicCapillan-h1v Me too!
I grew up with out my dad... and my sons father is a p.o.s too. So much respect for you sir. 🙌❤
@@daphineheck3335 So sorry to hear my heart goes out to you. My dad never cared & was never there. I made an oath to myself, be the dad I never had, Repeat or break the cycle. I stuck through it for 15+ years, I can't explain the emotional pain and financial loss year after year I went through, but the amazing relationship I have sustained with my child, despite my ex's evil doings, gives me the motivation & love to be the best loving & fulfilling dad I can be with child no matter what. I wish you all the best in life from the bottom of my heart & also to all others in your situation. I totally understand. Take care of yourself & your child first & foremost. DADS FOR KIDS. Being a great dad is the greatest gift in life.
Reminded of this video from back in the day. After watching it, i just now I contacted my dad who I've not spoken to in 8 years, neither of us remember the reason. I'm not ashamed to admit we both welled up a bit. Arranged to see him this Friday.
How did it go ????
gay
Thanks for the replies. I've seen him twice since. It's not like the movies where the reconciliation is swift and butterfly laden.
I told him he hasn't been the best dad but then I probably haven't been the best son either. We don't have that much in common but it is good to finally be settling in to a semblance of comfort with him.
We have also set some ground rules down to make sure this sort of thing never happens again. The primary thing being communication.
To any of you currently not on speaking terms with someone, sometimes the best thing to do is to bite the bullet, be the mature one and see what *you* can do....at least that's my humble take on it.
Huge congrats on getting back together with your dad. My dad died before we could re conciliate. This song and video touch a beautiful place in all of us, I think who understand what loss is about. I lost my partner in an unwanted divorce and the video of course reminds me so much of those times and how sometimes, love continues no matter what happens. Powerful stuff. Best wishes. Dasten
LADIES AND GENTS, THE POWER OF MUSIC
It 2025 people. Still a perfect song
Me too
what a amazing song
For sure ❤
Yes!
Im still here
20 years later and still one of my top favorite songs of all time. It never gets old and never will.
trkgdgh6 Trash music! My music is way better! ruclips.net/video/-X0y2DfsKIo/видео.html
June 2024 I miss all the great music from back in the day that's why I'm here!
Nothing resonates with me more than this song, as a child who grew up in a divorced household.
Ya, you and everbody else in america, stop using divorced parents as a trauma, I have them and it's overrated
@Marcus Starman not always up to you pal
Yuzuru Otonashi 🥱
Wish my parents divorced. They hated each other and their kids.
for real it just hits different XD
Ive never had kids but if i did or one day do i would never abandon them at all, thats messed up to do things like that. The mind of a child is where the revolution begins. How can people have the heart to walk away from that in life. Id do anything to see my kid happy if i ever had one and the baby mama . And never walk away , kids are blessings , they are the future.
❤
This song has to go in a greatest songs of all time list somewhere! Its really a perfect roller-coaster of emotions and feelings exploding into melodies and riffs that are to die for!
My Thoughts Exactly!
When I’m upset I listen to rock from this era and it makes me relax and everything will be ok
That's how it makes me feel too, I recently just went through a break up and music like this has helped me through it and to forget about it. This music and A Flock of Seagulls music helps me a lot, I just focus on school and forget about the whole thing.
Me too I swear
Exactly what I'm doing right now 😕
Blink 182
i would say me too but for some reason it makes me more down. almost like a dark cloud over this era. tho, i still bump these in the gym 💪
1:37 "Everyone is changing. There's no one left that's real." So true in 2021.
Yup
I wouldn't say they're changing. They're simply revealing themselves.
@@irvinmorales1409 Well said!
Those lyrics are so true!'I will save you from all of the obscene '.

2025 still the GOAT.
