Excellent song. I watched you perform this in St. Louis on October 19, 2014, when you opened for Ryan Adams, my favorite artist. I enjoyed you, Butch, as much as I did Ryan. I cried when I heard the lyrics: "Sunday morning, Father's Day The first without my dad As I look into my little boy's eyes It takes all I have Not to break down right in front of him when he smiles at me You don't become a man Until you lose your dad, you see" Little did I know at the time my father would pass away six days later. I was with him, as he passed. I had gone to my parents' house to take him for what should have been a simple, outpatient surgery. The next morning he woke feeling sick, so I rushed him 95 miles back to the hospital, And I was driving nearly 100 MPH the whole way. I was at least glad to tell him goodbye and that I loved him, before they sedated him to intubate him. He never woke again. This song has stuck in my head ever since. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
Butch's given name is Brad. I was talking a lot to Butch, his dad, right before he died. The guy I buy all my autos from is named after Butch Walker, Brad's dad. Brad took his dad's name when he left Georgia for LA in 1989. Butch was my house band from 1986-1989. He was as good at 17, when I heard him play in a little practice building in Rome Georgia. He played an old Van Halen song at 17, while singing Sammy Hager effortlessly. He is as humble today as he was at 17. We had a great 4 year run. I was morning the loss of my wife and Butch was saving up to get out of "this town".
Father's Day 2015 is in two days...read "Drinking With Strangers"...it must now be doubly important that you & your Dad became close later in his life, Butch...
Butch Walker gives his all to what he does. I'll forever be in awe! 🤘🎸
An amazing song by an amazing artist. Butch Walker is one of the most under-appreciated musicians around. Thanks for sharing this video.

I saw Butch in concert last night at the 9:30club in DC and I have to say...hearing this song made many people in the audience cry with him.
This is singing with emotion and from the heart. Great Work!!!
Made me cry, bro. Beautiful song.
Just the simplicity and sensitivity mate 🤘💙

"Sunday morning, Father's Day
The first without my dad
As I look into my little boy's eyes
It takes all I have
Not to break down right in front of him when he smiles at me
You don't become a man
Until you lose your dad, you see"

How freaking good is this!! Saw him for the first time last year and he was hands down the best show I have ever seen.
This is a beautiful song and I can feel the emotion. Love the chorus too, it hooks you in.
