[@BigYellowJoint1]

early 00's were strangely cozy

[@ianallen8261]

My daughter I haven't see her 5 years ago but I'll see this time to show up that I'm good dad to my daughter.

[@LeGette88]

his apologizing for not being in his kids life , like his father wasnt in his life.. i remember watching an interview about this song.. the singers father wasnt around at all in his life , and he held a hate for his dad . But he also felt like he was a hypocrite being a musician and always touring and on the road away from home and he said he was doing the same thing his father did to him, so he wrote this song to his kid

[@desolatesoul2304]

Aww! Kris is such a great father. This song makes me cry. It's very touching how much he loves his daughter. What a guy.

[@seloy2008]

"The Saddest Song"
Only two more days, until your birthday
Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning five
I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand
Why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
maybe someday
you really get to know me
not just the letters read to you
I pray I get the chance
To make it up to you
We got a lot of catching up to do
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand
Why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
Forgive me!
I'm so sorry!
I will make it up to you....

[@amirulmarwah]

Thx bro

[@wansyahputraardhinata8298]

Thank You Buddy... You wrote this song Lyric.. 😉

[@jhaybustos8440]

my daughter growing up without me Everytime ive watch this video shed some tears

[@lowe2955]

1997 is the last time i saw you and it hurts till now...

[@arinbrown4605]

I have a daughter now and this makes me want to spend every moment i can with her. Miss this so much, you guys we're awesome!!

[@DarkBardMagick]

I really do remember waiting for my father to come see me and for us to hang out. To pick me up every once in awhile. I remember waiting for him to give me a call once in a while just to say hi and something, only him saying hi is all I would need. And I come home and he won't be there waiting for me to hug and take me somewhere. Being interested in me is all i want.

[@jarxhead3189]

13 years later, not even 1 million views, sad :(

[@RamonaThornes]

[@leecroft201286]

Ataris forever ❤

[@Aneszy]

dont know the meaning of the lyrics back then till now when i have to raise my son alone without his dad... and this song just.... hit me so deep 😢

[@arakedikian7483]

The meaning is basically , his younger years are behind him but his love to his sweetheart is still as strong as it was when they were young together

[@eTerrance]

Aneszy yolanda yeah it really is about his daughter

[@zerodragneel2893]

Aneszy hang in there.

Antes eramos felizes ouvindo musicas tristes , hoje somos tristes ouvindo musicas felizes...

[@nibalcki]

Melhor comentário sobre esta musica, falou tudo, como era bom, e como é bom ainda poder ouvir esta musica.

[@marbarosi]

This brings me back to Summers sitting in my friends basement and going for walks.
Talking about a much simpler world before technology. I know it's a video but the little girl walking herself down the street or looking at the stars.
I did that. my friends and I would go to the dug out or in his dads pick up and just drink pop and talk and look at the stars. Nowadays I don't see kids outside as much and if they are they are walking home from school or something.
My point is remembering feels like a drug or stepping into another world in my mind. Such warmth and zero stress. This is how we transverse mixed feelings was through music. Great times.
Even that blue sky 3:39 looks like blue Skys at the 2003 time. Felt like Time had a filter as nuts as it sounds.

[@pochopayaso5949]

This was one of my favourite song when I was in highschool, but I didn't expect that this song will be pinch my heart now. I'm thousand miles away from my daughter and she's 4 years old now, the saddest part is from her 1st birthday to her 4th she celebrates it without me. 4 Christmas also without in her side, and she always ask my wife when I was going to go home with her😢😢

[@ALEXISGNFR]

I am really sorry bro....

[@RobyHaw]

Are you reunited now tho?

[@philipmarkborromeo2935]

[@rainierzamboni3923]

Ouvir The Ataris remete a uma fase tão boa da minha vida ❤

[@Crazyfeline]

Powerful - both musically and lyrically.
Great stuff.

[@thetitotvshow]

And there is the album version that has acoustic guitars, cello, and piano. This song has 3 version and the 3 are perfectly sad!

[@33heavens]

This was when music was still good.

[@jillenenelson1807]

Its so sad .....this song! That it is beautiful.

[@bradleyrocks618]

ever time I hear this song I cry for those that have no father. I had an amazing one some days I feel selfish he was so awesome.

[@ConstitutionalRepublic00]

I really miss my kids. Both of them live with their mothers in different states and it's tearing me apart. The thing I am best at is being a dad. And I'm missing out on them.

[@chrisnealis4270]

At the :49 mark, that's my Uncle Terry's barn on N. Madison ave. just north of Anderson. I spent a large chunk of my childhood playing on that farm and in that barn. It was full of pre-WWII cars. Really cool to randomly find it in a music video.

[@Loonarfalls]

[@rcguitarcovers8614]

[@HughMacEachern]

Every year, I wrap a present and mark the year on the tag then pack it with the others. And with each year, it feels like my soul is being erased.
