I can't listen to this song without crying. I can't see how he can sing it.
Hey we all have our troubles. We must turn them into productivity. This song is a great example of turning negativity into something beatiful.
Same here, man. I grew up without my mom and even this song still gets to me every time.
I grew up without my parents. Now I’m a parent myself. This song hits really close to home.
@@bigfranchise yes what a beautiful song!
It's a good song. A song a lot of ppl can relate to sadly enough.
The part where he sings about never letting his daughter know the pain he has felt is so powerful
Agree....have a daugther now and it hits home so hard
@@aprilmarie4532 Same. Listening to it now and shedding tears.
This song hits home for many of us, who grew up fatherless.
Lissie Mattheson or having a shitty father after your mother dies exactly 1 month before your 12th birthday...5 days after hers...and when youre 14 and he marries a black woman and you live in that black neighborhood. I can just change a few words and this song is totally my life from 12 to probably 25.
Or not spamming TMI comments on UA-cam videos
Sometimes dads gotta roll tho
stan preusser
Who cares if he married a black woman?
Get a grip pal...I grew up in a shelter ....mom was a heroin addict
"I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame"
I have always loved this song, it spits in the face of the falsehood that one who suffers neglect/abuse/abandonment as a child is doomed to repeat the same neglect/abuse/abandonment in their own children.
Art broke that cycle as did I.
There is healing in the joy you bring to your child's life.
This guy is incredibly underrated one of the best in my opinion
I heard this song eight years ago on this very channel and I came back to find it
Amazing that sums it up
Damn he still has his vocals after all these years man
Great song, voice and sounding guitar. Art and Everclear still a great band.
From the moment I heard this song back in the 90s, I knew this was a poignant and timeless song that would stay with me; and that it would define his career going forward. I don't know how he feels about. He hit a nerve.
Aside from being 9 instead of 10, and not being a "black neighborhood," this song nails it for me.
This song hits me so close to home, it hurts. I mean it, it hurts. Wow.
This song brings tears too my eyes, not because of my dad, but the dad i became,before i found my way back...
Better than the original. So much more emotion. 💔
met his this past friday at their show in Anaheim. Super nice guy.. and chilled after the show to meet fans that waited to talk with them. I wish them the very best in all they attempt. Hang in there ART!
Now that I'm a grown man with a child on my own I swear i won't let him know all the pain I have known!!!! I love you my dear son Luka!!!!!
Somehow the words " this song resonates with me on so many levels " don't even begin to explain the way i feel about this song
Hands down, the best! My life exactly! Thank you Art.
This performance makes me cry every time.
This is literally my life. Gave me his name and walked away. Have a 2 month pld daughter who is truly the light of my life.
It is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to resist telling everyone who views this TMI about my father and my relationship
Such a great artist! All time favorite!
This song hits me hard. My oldest step daughter had a deadbeat dad. F him with a broken coconut.
Great version Art. Love a good stripped down acoustic approach
The other F word... Just watched it and his story touched me!! All of them did.... Some people don't deserve to be parents...is such a TRUE STATEMENT!!
Rachelle Feliciano good documentary. Fleas story really touched my heart.
Rachelle Feliciano never judge aye
I’ve listened to this song tons of times and never knew that line “and the wife I saw you beat”. What a beautiful ode to a time in his life. So raw and painful but yet he let us in😭😭lord what a beautifully epic way to let his pain out. The writing, the musicality. I can’t listen to it without tearing up 🙏🏼😭❤️so much respect for this man.
I must have been a weird kid. I was jealous of my friends whose fathers left. Sadly, mine stayed and made my life a living hell.
I completely feel you
Yeah me and my brother, 6 and 5. 40 years later still a wreck.
I first heard of this song when my brother played it repeatedly on the radio in his room. We're in our 30s now... and we're still wrecks.... but my brother, who is a father now, is trying to be the best father to his son now.
Being fatherless does mess with the mind, but it helps you aspire to be the parent you NEED to be.
hang in there
I think a common theme with Everclear was/is their ability to write about incredibly difficult topics while still coming off as loud and upbeat. Hearing it stripped back like this really gets to the core of the song and how much the lyrics mean to all of us.
Its also breaks hearts of them dad's divorced that can't see their sons.
Yep but no one cares. Doesn’t fit the moms are great dads are shit narrative.
Yes but this song is about a dad who beat his wife and left. Not really the same thing.
Some of the best family lyrics ever
remind me when i was 15..my good time with my friends..love you friends even we are not seeing each other anymore..hope one day in the future we have more time for a cup of coffee
So Proud Of You My Childhood friend.
You really know Art from when you guys were kids?
No way
Love Ya Art, Great Version Of Father Of Mine!!!
What a wonderful person and song. Hold on to the gift people. Don't let it go. 👍👍👍👍
wow...how poignant...my early life as a little girl.. He gave me a name..
love this song soo much
That Taylor is a beauty!
My kids will never relate to this song
This song really hits me hard.
What a great song, 2021
Beautiful performance of such a heart breaking song. Art is one of my songwriting heroes.
art's the fucking man.
love this song it has so much meaning for my son . just switch the lyrics and make it say a scared black boy in a white neighborhood. Anyway this is one of the best songs you have ever produced. I saw you perform live at the Hard Rock Casino Biloxi MS I loved you . I look forward to you coming back there.
He wrote a song about HIS experience, why would he change the lyrics? We’re being taught that white people have some form of privilege, where was Art’s?
this song still gets to me even to this day .
Fantastic performance!!
Just watched the documentary on showtime called 'the other F word' great film,Art and Flea from RHCP is in it and many others.Arts story is very sad.I really like him seems like a cool dude.
I don't need my dad I have beer and and a kid on the way, it didn't work with the mother but I live my kid now
My dad didn't even come back for me after my mom died. She was the only family I had.
I love the album version from So Much for the Afterglow... because it's angry and heavy... the way it should be for such a song.. The radio edit butchered it with some weird "strings" dub over the chorus.. hated it so much.
I cried my eyes out.
This song absolutely hits home for me. I guess in some ways I'm lucky tho, because my dad left before i was old enough to have any memories of him. Also, my mom said he never hit her. But still, he abandoned my sister and I, fucking coward.
It's funny that for a long time I've been a big fan of every clear and the who and now I see the teenage wasteland reference in the chords to this song
Gave me goosebumps.
I love his tone. That is one kickin' 'coustic.
me too!, he never cease to amaze me... his life story and his lyrics are incredible. They helped me through out some deep shit in my life.
thank you for this song Art.
3:03 Haha, I've watched this so many times and I just noticed his powerpuff girls tattoo.
Said I wasn't going to cry and then... Dammit Art!
Talk about abandoning your kids... my dad offed himself when I was 16 years old. My younger sister was 13. He didn't even leave a note... I kinda hate him for it.
What is that mic he is using for his vocals? I've seen that kind often for rock vocal studio performances...
I am 46 now but this song is just like my life when I was 10 in Indianapolis and and my father left me and my sister behind. Now we are okay.
I saw Art live at the Woodlands Pavilion, it really made me appreciate his acoustic versions of Everclear's songs, might just have to try my voice at on a few of them. Oh, and nice Taylor!
💚
His father Art Carney?
LOL Powerpuff Girls tattoo on right arm at 0.21. Neat!
This song describes my childhood perfectly...
this is a million times better than the original album version
The female fertile lipstick controversly occur because pear worrisomely accept for a unsightly zone. spicy, obsequious language
Well I started watching this because I noticed he plays a different tuning than the studio version. It went from that to putting my guitar down and tears were just rolling down my eyes. Dealt with it all my life. For me it would be mother and father of mine.
Fuck man I can relate to this guys music
Genius..."I will always be lame..." Not always, Art.
Saw them play live for free in Raleigh at Downtown Live. Best show I've ever been to drop down.
✨
Mother of mine
He said that he gets asked a lot to play this song. If I had the opportunity to ask for that id ask for him to just have fun and bash out some chords.
If he played that song and no one had ever heard the original, how would it be perceived?
Thank u man. Thank you for writing that song. Its the only place i had to go with all that shit.
As someone who has a father who has fucked off… this is my dream song. A dad who comes back.
And you're listening because then...
Looks like a Shure SM7B. Same mic Thom Yorke uses on some of his and Radiohead's songs.
Father of mine, tell me where have you been
I just closed my eyes, my whole world disappeared
Father of mine, tell me how do you sleep
with the children you abandoned, and the wife I saw you beat
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now that I'm a grown man
with a child of my own
I swear I'm not gonna let her know
all the pain I have known!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song hits me so hard. 😥
This song touches deep
phwoar. need a cup of tea after that.
A perfect song.
mine didn't even give me that much.
Powerful song...but this version is too slow
Still can’t get over how good this song is.
The only song that speaks about disappointment and loss. We were lost didn't have a father to teach us. I saw my dad who left us 25 years later. I felt like I was an alien to him. We have nothing in common. I spoke to a real nice African American lady. I said I'm not going to his funeral. She totally corrected me and said no you will go see him on his death bed or funeral. She put me in my place she's right that what our country has lost is respect for others right or wrong. Her name is Francis please pray for her. I let my hurt over many years discourage me on what is right. God sends his angels to guide you. Francis is an Angel. Thank you God for sending a person like Francis to remind me Jesus died for our sins and asked for nothing in return
My dad is a hero to me. 🤫🤐
Holy shit...
Isn't he that cool music teacher from Ned's declassified??
hits harder when i have a 18month old
takes me back the good ol days
A bass player mix this or what?
I'm here emotional in 2022, listening to this song that made me very emotional in 2001 when I heard it for the first time.
I miss my Dad who I never knew
It's sad not many people from my generation know bands like these. Such real songs, not just bullshit words written to sell
Is this the GC on sunset BLVD?
I don't get how he can sing 😢❤😢❤😢! Solo sad!
Why're you complaining about his tattoos? Is he hurting you by having them? Nope. Then shut up.
