FRANCE IN THE FINAL🇫🇷⚽️❤
My dad used to sing this to me... then he left and probably sings it to his new family
I think he does care about you, he might think you hate him or feel guilt and remorse, me personally i care about all my family but because of my destructive behavior id rather stay away from them so that they dont have to worry...they think ive forgot about them but i havent and it hurts me that they think that about me, but i understand
@@luiziferbehel3750 thank you for that that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me that really helps and makes me so happy for an explanation when I can never really get one
@@renirae6563 im saying those things to you from my perspective, when i was younger my dad did similar things to me as a child and we had a talk but none of us wanted to reach out
IVE BEEN SCREAMING AT THIS FOR ABOUT 5 MINS
You got this buddy, it's gonna be okay, I miss my dad too
this song will forever hit different as a child of divorce with an emotionally distant father 😀
same
Facts
mhm
i have a distant mother who left me at 2,atleast my dad is here
@@gilmoregirls4evah :(( exactly the opposite by instead my dad left
The Clannad visuals really complete this
Yup
It hits so deep
That’s facts, hits deeper at the end
yep
Clannad bro, that anime hit me different, made me tear up, for me it's the best anime I've watched so far
This song motivates me to not give up for my siblings and to be the father figure they have always deserved
Right with ya brother stay strong
this alone is an extremely powerful decision, and i applaud you for it! i hope y'all do well
same boat my brother. my dad passed away 6 years ago and my mother just last year. I'm only 17 turning 18 next year. left me with 8 kids and I'm trying to grow up to be someone they can rely on and someday call someone who just wasn't their brother but their father figure.
Stay strong i bet you are the best brother 🙏
I remember listening to this song on loop at the clinic thinking about my dad who loved Eminem and wondering if he truely loved me..
Lol😂😂
@@christianbeller5194 what the fuck
lmao dude hahhahahaha

@@KiraDeLespass dont let them get to you man. im sure he loved you. great song, even better slowed down. keep your head up, because everything will be okay in the end. and if it's not okay, then its not the end.
This immediately gave me goosebumps

LYRICS :-
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me
Hailie, I know you miss your mom
And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone
But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad
Even when you smile
Even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes
Deep inside, you wanna cry
Cuz you're scared
I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying
Wipe them tears
Daddy's here
No more nightmares
We gonna pull together through it
We gon' do it
Laney, uncle's crazy ain't he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins
When it swirls
When it whirls
When it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Looking puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move
Mama's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it
But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that
The more it backfires on me
All the things, growing up
As daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see
But you see just as much as he did
That we did not plan it to be this way
You're mother and me
But things have got so bad between us
I don't see us ever being
Together ever again
Like we used to be when was teenagers
But then of course
Everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something
We have no control over
And that's what destiny is
But no more worries
Rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up
And this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
I told ya, daddy's here to hold ya
Through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, Mama's gonna be alright
It's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christamas presents up
And stuck them under the tree
And said some of them were from me
Cos daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas
I sat up the whole night cryin'
Cuz daddy felt like a bum
See daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
And your mom was saving money
For you in a jar trying to start a piggy bank for you
So you can go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars
Till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart
And it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apart
Mom and dads was arguing a lot
So mama moved back on the Chalmers in the flat
One bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on Novarra
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me
But daddy had to work
You and mama had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the TV
And mama didn't like it
And you and Laney were too young to understand it
Papa was a rolling stone
Mama developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'
Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown
It's almost like your sisters now
Wow, I guess you pretty much are
And daddy's still here
Laney I'm talking to you too
Daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everythings gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
I told ya daddy's here to hold ya
Through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
But I promise
Mama's gonna be alright
And if you ask me to
Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
I'ma sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if the Mockingbird don't sing and the ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdy's neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat
Don't fuck with dad
Haha
This is underrated asf...
My girlfriend left me for a another guy after 4 years I'm still depressed but this Song is my medicine. With this I'm feel stronger
I understand you bro
go watch some andrew tate and you will be fine
You deserve better bro. Stay strong king ❤👑
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not
Always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?

i listened to this while sitting on the ground at my dads grave leaning my head on the gravestone and looking at old pictures of him and us. it was an experience i'll never forget
🥺
Oml so..
This song is so powerful 🤧 (when it is slowed because you can hear all the words)
Eminem is such a good dad, everyone deserves a dad who'd do anything they can.
Already this song only made me feel sad and scared because of what was going on in my life when i first heard this but for some reason this makes me feel more mad and scared
I listen to this when I miss my dad bc he listened to alot of ememin and this makes me think of him I'll get to go home with him one day
Aww this made me cry sorry about what happened it will get better ❤️
@@neve8616 Thank you and it's ok it's been 5 years hopefully we can come back home🥺❤️
yeah, same. i’m sorry that you have to experience this pain. 💞
@@Sandra-lo7si aww I’m sure you will ❤️🥺
As soon as this song started I got goosebumps 🚫🧢🖤
Dad used to sing me this song till the day he died, i didnt know eminem back then and i never understood the lyrics as i didn't speak English at the time of, and since i found it by chance 5 years ago it was n still my favorite song to this day, it gets better as time goes by.
i’m so so sorry, i’m happy your healing now ❤your story actually made me cry, it’s really horrible stuff like this happens.
gif and music... perfection
The instruments in this hit different and the gif is crazy brought tears to my eyes
this version hits different!!!
I've been crying to this for almost an hour and its 2:30 AM
i hope you're feeling better now, even if you wrote this two months ago
@@aymelinechampagne8844 Thank you, I had a small stupid argument with my crush today about if a mountain lion is a cougar or a bobcat and it made me cry because I don’t like it when he yells but I’m ok now
@@_Savv_ sad
U all guys k?🙂
@@_Savv_ Oh-
As soon as it hit 0:00 it hit me
facts
Ah yes my childhood song
IM JUST NOW REALIZING IT SAID " if that mocking bird dont sing or make the ring shine , ill break that little birdys head " I AM SHOOK.
actually it was “and if that mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shine imma break that birdy’s neck i’ll go back to the jeweller who sold it to ya and make him eat every carat don’t fuck with dad”
@youssra 💀lmfaoo
thats a lil bit slim shady at the end
It does not say it
damn his music is always depressing it helps me with my depression he is someone i listen to when im depressed.
Hope you get better soon🙂
Clannad and Mockingbird...
Oh god what a duo, hits so fucking hard as it fits as perfect.
this song reminds me of my life even tho i have daddy issues and my dad reminding me of it and i cant stop listening and crying to it
Lol
@@christianbeller5194 you laughing at other people's problems is just one of your coping mechanisms to deal with your own troubles.
@@rightfulking Damn right thanks King
@@KiraDeLespass of course
I cry to the song because my dad loves me but he guilt tripped me which he does a lot and every time he does it he plays this song I mean the original! Not this exact one but My parents dont have the best relation ship. Btw im 10 basically

Bro I haven’t heard this song in like 3 years, brought back some nostalgia ong
This song with clanned anime is perfect 😔✨
this song makes me think about how blessed i am to have my dad here. i never legitimately realized how much he loves me until now. we weren’t too close. but then yesterday we went and ate lunch together and we talked and we had fun and i enjoyed it so much. he’s the only parent i have left in this world and so i’m thankful for him doing his best to be a dad to his 4 daughters. :)
Hits different 😢
Thanks ☺️
Clannad is such a sad but yet good anime

I don’t have kids, however I’m so versatile that I can RELATE to this. Artist pour out their SOUL in their music. Appreciate them ALL while they walk amongst us. Glorious symphony😢 thank for the mix!!

Eu achei que essa música fosse impossível de melhora mais do que já era, cara vc é uma lenda, meus sinceros parabéns 🤌👏👏👊
very nice.
This song hits hard with clannad
the chorus made me cry
this song was literally made for me istg
I had a really tough childhood, my brother had mental anger issues every night my parents yelled at him. I remember waking up seeing blood or mama crying, it happened to every house we lived in when I was 4 my other brother and I always hid underbeds because we were so scared and didn't know what to do. Sometimes you would hear them fighting and the next minute there would be police outside. I remember the time when I was 7 we lived next to drug dealers/junkies and my brother associated with them, there was this fine day i was playing outside until I heard yelling and screaming I went out the front and saw my brother with blood all over him and my dad 3 secs later there was brick thrown at my dads head. Then my brother went jail. And I remember one thing in my childhood that my family would always listen to Eminem so listening this slowed is terribly sad and important
I’m so sorry.
I can relate to this with my childhood.
🥲🥲u guys have been through so much . And are so brave💕💕
Sorry, hits hard...
clanad is perfect match for mockingbird song :3
My bio mom abandoned me at 2/1/2 and my dad and his mom raised me. This song makes me cry y’all 😭😭
I'm imagining a dance studio using this and dancing to this and it's awesome
dude this makes me cry
:(
they are so lucky to have him as a fther
Even more powerful slowed down
Clannad gif hits hard
damn fucking good when slowed and reverb
Lyrics 🎵
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me
Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Laney uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up, his daddy, daddy had to see
Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together
Ever again like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control, over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up, and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright
Huh, it's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
And said, "Some of 'em were from me, 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em"
I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying
'Cause daddy felt like a bum
See daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broke into and robbed
Or shot up on the block
And your Mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you, so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one-bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when daddy went to California with his C.D
And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V
And momma didn't like it, and you and Laney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
Just reminiscing, lookin' at your baby pictures
It just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown
It's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here
Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah, It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
NOOO USHIO AND OKAZAKI WHYY 😭 THAT ANIME IS HELLA SAD BRO
This song hits different when you read the lyrics and when you have watched Clannad and know exactly what was going on in this scene with Ushio and Tomoya 😭
What happened
@@daltonallen2048
Spoilers
Her mother and his wife died giving birth to their daughter shortly after. Then one day when they’re on a trip she goes unconscious and passes away. Shortly after her father (blue hair man in gif) passed away in the snow from a broken heart with his daughter in his arms.
4:24 I’ma just put this here👊🏼
Damn
This akasaka and rina twixtor fits it verywell
My father used to sing this to me when I was younger. And now it hits different to me knowing my mom and dad don’t care anymore.
finally i can rap to it too XD can't help thinking about my daughter though. As she is almost the same age when i first heard this song... and only now do i truly know how Em felt when he wrote this...
Best rapper to ever live no cap
hits like a 🤍
This shit got me in tears 😭 😭
"Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night"
dad i love you, i hope you comeback home soon please..
Clannad was perfect for this song
"cry,cry,cry still the problem goo !!❣️💔
ah yes eminem and clannad my two favorite thingys
for @everyone who are depressed for the fact that you are all alone and no one cares about you, keep in mind that, YOU HAVE 🖤YOU 🖤,, And that's more than enough to move on... make it a reason to rise above all who looks down on you
The song 10/10, and the anime is perfect (Clannad).
amount of people with no dad but this song still hits hard

Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad, it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot, so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one-bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when daddy went to California with his C.D
And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V
And momma didn't like it, and you and Laney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
Just reminiscing, lookin' at your baby pictures
It just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown
It's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and daddy's still here
Laney, I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah, It's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper-lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, momma's gon' be alright
And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad (haha)
good song😭😭😭😭😭
🗣️ We fear how we feel inside
Shit hits different
Im crying for the first time since my dad was passed away
im like part "Daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird
I'ma give you the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that Mockingbird don't sing, and that ring don't shine
I'ma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every karat, don't fuck with dad"
Emotional.
Always think bout my dad when i hear this
