- I do not own the music (of course I bought the cd and recommend you do the same) and there is no copyright infringement intended. For entertainment/promotional purposes only. This song is from Rick Springfield's 2015 album "Stripped Down". It's a heartfelt version of 2 songs he wrote about the death of his father. Music can help you get through some of the hardest things life can throw at you. This is one of those things. My father passed October 6th, 2015 and this song helps.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. But it never gets easier for Rick he cries every time I have seen him perform this song.
Heard Rick do this song live with the Lancaster Orchestra in Lancaster Ohio. It put tears in my eyes that night. Miss my Dad everyday and he has been gone since January 2016
@RickSpring Field I've been a fan ever since Rick Started . I'm 61 years old and have enjoyed his music for many years
Tears still 30 plus years later. God bless you Rick Springfield.
I just want to say that when you have a parent that has passed away like mine has. My dad had cancer and I had to watch him slowly go down day by day. My dad never told me that he had cancer till the year 2017 in July. I was in a lot of emotional pain. Plus we had no idea it was going to be the same day but 4AM on August 1, 2017 in the nursing home. It was a very big shock to all of us! So Rick Springfield is not the ONLY one who went through a lot of emotional pain. Peace and love Rick Springfield! Rick is my biggest rock star singer forever! Rick is my rock and my guardian Angle! Love you Rick oxox! May God watch over you!🎤🎸🙏🎚💝💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😥😥
May God watch over you. As well
I just lost my father last month. I remembered this song. Thank you
Oh FFS!! 😭 😩 My sister and I were huge Rick Springfield fans growing up in the 80s. We saw him in concert multiple times. Now, just searching for Rick songs for karaoke, I stumbled upon this. I had completely forgotten these songs. Our Dad, our compass, our rock, our best friend, died suddenly 18 mos. ago and I am now living in the house where we grew up. At this very moment I am literally sitting in my father’s chair and absolutely sobbing. I do wish I believed all of Rick’s words; it would make it easier. As an atheist I don’t believe in a “great unknown,” or an afterlife. My Dad, as well as my Mom who died 18 years ago, are gone forever. It is incomprehensible and I miss them so damn much! 😭😩😭😫
My mom passed away today, I know she is in a better place....she knows the great unknown.
I love you mom. RIP Oct. 11 2021
God! The heartbreak on his face just kills me. I lost my Mom 13 years ago and that wound still feels as fresh as the day I got the news. Bless all of you that has had to say goodbye to a parent.
God bless you. As well
I've yet to lose a parent, and still these two songs moves me start to finish. Poignant, heartfelt, filled to the brim with loss, melancholy and pathos, this is Springfield(thorpe) at his deepest.
Those that dismissed him as simply "Jessie's Girl" or a bubblegum singer have severely missed out on one of the greatest, music catalogs ever recorded for posterity.
IMO this man is one of the greatest songwriters alive today, bar none.
Please do carry on Mr. Springfield.
My dad died 4 days ago and this song just brings the memories flooding back. Rick's passionate performance just conveys the pain he felt at the loss of his dad and it while a great song, it takes on a whole new meaning now that my dad is no longer here!! Thanks Rick!
God bless you
Such a lovely tribute to his father. My mom has been gone three years now, so this song hits close to my heart. And it's so true, missing them never gets easier with time.
This song reminds me of my Father who I loved very much who passed away 7 years ago. I love all of your performances Rick.
I get all teary-eyed every time I hear this😢
+berthag Me too.
It is LOVE
me too. I lost my dad April 22, 2003
its been a very emotion weekend, and then I realize its April 24th so I go and look this song up. I used to sing it to myself after my own dad passed away, and now of course I`m crying my eyes out...amazing...the power of music...
Actually 3 years on since my dad passed a couple of days ago. Had the line in my head, "three years on and I still feel he'll come home," and remembered this song. Always been my favorite song by Rick, and now of course has added meaning.
God bless you
Damn this song is so fine!!! Love to you Rick!!!
Dear Sir 🙏 so very sorry about your dad. My Papa passed away also know what you are going through. He'd be so very much proud of you God bless you and your family
He cry when he this song, u can see the love he had for his father
A great song and tribute to dad’s everywhere.
My brother took that journey last May, I miss him all the time
My father passed away from accidental suicide on October of 2020. This song really hits home. Thank you Rick
Brings me to tears every single time!
Such a beautiful song! My dad passed away on April 24th, 2021 and I miss him so much every single day!!
My Dad has stage six dementia. We lost my Mom very suddenly in April 2018. Honestly my Dad has been gone mentally for a few years. He's here physically and not much more. I think of him and the good times when I hear this song. If you still have your father, if you still have your mother, be thankful that you still have them. Spend time with them. Tell them you love them. Show them you love them. Thanks for this beautiful song Rick.
Beautiful song !
Thanks for posting this beautiful song.
♥️♥️♥️ EYE still get Choked Up everytime EYE hear Rick Springfield sing, "My Father's Chair" so Soulfully... ♥️♥️♥️
I saw him perform this in Worcester 1981 - it was my first concert ever.
My mom died May 17, 2019. First holidays without her. Many years ago, when we were all young (and alive), and I had no knowledge of grief yet, those two RS songs killed me back then even thinking about such a day as 05/17/19 being possible. Now I know the pain that RS and everyone who has lost a parent feels. I lost my best friend of 49 years. I know she is happy, with her parents, and the dogs, and Jesus in heaven, but... sometimes I am thrilled for her and gutted for myself at the same time. Other times I howl. Or sit in stunned silence. Or laugh.
God bless you
i lost my dad. this year. it hurts. everyday. god bless you rick
Sorry for loss
My dad died April 22, 2003, That was the worst day of my life! My dad and I were so close. Everything that Rick sings in the song My Father's chair, especially the line, "why do they leave the weakest sprit and take the strong" and the line about people telling him that the pain will ease, that is such a lie. It's 14 years for us and it still hurts as much as it did the day he died.
Me too. My life changed when my Dad passed. He was everything....the perfect Dad. When we were kids, NASA was flying to the moon. While we were sleeping, he build a lunar capsule in our backyard out of a jungle gym. It was amazing. It looked just like the lunar capsule and he used our toys to build the cockpit inside. It didn't last long because it was made out of spray painted cardboard over the jungle gym, but for a few days, we had the best present ever.
Pete Wood he sounds like an amazing man
God bless you
I love this song
I think he takes the strong of spirit to let the weak become strong. And yes your spirit is eternal where a Father's chair is waiting. I saw you sing this song live and you sat down on one side of the stage only to have a girl come off the side outta nowhere to tackle you and you handled it with such grace. Thanks for that and God bless.
♥️♨️♥️ Somehow Singing Along with THIS is Very Cathartic, though... So THANKS RICK !!! ♥️♨️♥️
I saw him introduced the unfinished version at his concert in Phoenix in 1981, I was 14. He was the first concert I'd ever been to. I can't remember for sure but I thought he said he started writing it on the plane. I've wondered over the years if he had ever finished it and today thought why don't I look it up on UA-cam.. here it is ...finished.
I believe in heaven and wherever he is our dads are up there talking amongst themselves and yes I got a feeling that the music is cool but the birds still fly past my little eye and yes the stars in the night go by but I get up again. and yes I care and thank you for singing this song cause I miss my dad and a few others too. But thank you Rick for letting me in a little bit.
Miss you dad...
KUDOS to you Both !
Goosebumps baby
i have been a rick springfield since Jessies girl came out i have his books and im collecting his music again
My daddy’s first anniversary is coming up January 10th 2022 and i cry my eyes out when i hear this song.
yes I loved him too never saw the beatles but yes I saw you. My daughter and I went it was fun and when this covid thing wasnt about but you know shit happens and here we are.
✌😎✌ My Parents got Divorced when EYE was 15, right around the time This Song came out Originally.... So EYE can really Feel His Pain... 🖖☻🖖
big hugs & love to you
That was a perfect show the time no cell phones and and everybody listened and there was no talking. Now when I go to shows people are talking on the phone or to each other. And I think why are you here? You're not even paying attention to the show
We played this at my father's funeral
My Father´s Chair is from the Album TAO of 1984....
Rick
My dad died on my birthday April 24 2014. Worst day of my life
Kathy Lester Think about your dad when he was still around and in the prime of his life with you....keep that way and he'll NEVER die. As long as you remember your father, he'll be always with you. I'm pretty sure he'll pick you up when your time comes....Stay Strong. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And THANKS "#DymonDav" for Sharing such an Impactful and Endearing VIDEO.
Este video no puede ser de 1981, ya que la canción se lanzó en 1985.
