sounds almost exactly like the original (except the singer) and i love, but it is missing quite a bit of the emotion of the original. other than that it is amazing.
yes some of know this is a remake, however, this is one of those rare instances where a remake wasn't fucked up!! I've heard some doosies before that totally sucked!
I'm only 15, but I absolutely love this song. I just can't wait to have a son who's just like me, but I will learn to spend my time with him, just like my dad did with me.
Some people dont have dads and would give anything to have a father that made human mistakes such as being selfish while young......it happens... appreciate what you have now.
This was my "dad"... no time for me when I was a child and needed him.... now I'm 44, he wants a relationship. Sorry "pops" YOU BLEW IT! I have 3 sons...29,25,24... not a week goes by I don't talk to all 3 of them (and we are in different states). I sing this song MUCH angrier! But I like Ugly Kid Joe's version better than Harry Chapin's,m but I like his too.
omg the last year i doiwnloaded this song and it said "cats in the clradle - Guuns and roses" and i liked it!! but now i know thats it wasnt axl who singed D:
My dad will not listen to this song cause he knows that this is how he treated my brother, sister and I. Now that I am 31, he is relizing all the wrong he did when we was kids.... I have forgave him, but I will never forget.
Even though Chapin is the original ugly kid joe owns this song from their incredible version. A good comparison is Bob Dylans "all along the watchtower vs Hendrix version. Hendrix version is more known and gets more credit even though he didnt write it, just like UGJ for this song
I've been there for every step but I still take heed. As much as you want them to be like you and appreciate things that you do, I always hope he has different aproach, understanding and feel for life. Be your own man son. Follow your dreams not mine. Understand them but follow yours.
great song by amazing band. even that that song written by harry chapin. but still awesome band!!! that lyrics we realize only after the teenage years!!! thank god my dad teach me lot and gave lot!!! and all i can do pass this on to my future family!!!!
32 years old, yet to be a father, but this song and video reminds me how lucky I was to have a father who cared every step of the way. Thank you, Pop.
At least something I've done rigth!!! these 3 beautiful children are my legacy to the world!!!
They might go wrong but at least they go their way, not the way society wants or demands as an example!!!! They will rule the world!!!! Beware of the cast...
I'm in the army as an infantry soldier, I like to think I'm hardened and nothing can make me cry. This song is my weakness, Heard it alot growing up and can't help but get emotional when I hear it. I definitely can not listen to this when I've been drinking,
Sadly many people here didn't catch the true meaning of the song... At this time I hope my daugther will never be like me.. I had to spend more time with that little princess instead of being working a lot 24/7.
how is life when you find your self in this bloody song... every time when l listening this tune l promisse to my self to do the best, but many times things go wrong.. then i remember this..
Because of your stupid ass advertisements that don't go away when I exit out of them, I will never buy any palladium boots even if my life depends on it.
i really do hope my son is nothing like me......im a fucked up person with a fucked up life he better have a better life than me....i hope i can give him what he needs
My best friend lost his father in war 95' .. He listen this song every day, and I know that he miss him a lot, however, he didn't seen him ever what's the worst... I just hope that they will see each other on next world.. <3
This song always gives me the gossebumps. I love it so much and the meaning behind the song is just beautiful. And I like this one better the Chapin, don't know why, just do. :) :D :P
@TheBaconlaser Maybe, but I thank Ugly Kid Joe for making this song known to the new generations during the 90s. You see, I'm from Peru and Ugly Kid Joe was big in South America but Chapin wasn't. I realized years later this song didn't belong to them and I love the original but I I think this is an excellent cover.
I just noticed he sings; When you coming home "son" i dont know when, in every chorus. Real lyrics is supposed to be "dad" until the ending part. Pretty big miss..
@JoviAero Yes makes perfect sense now :P But still, the original lyrics is "when you coming home dad? I dont know when". At least thats how harry chapin wrote it but this works too i guess hehe
I have actually made a playlist for this song so I don't even have to press repeat at the end of it every time, I am so glad I was brought up to appreciate real music though I cannot imagine being one of those tone deaf teens you see walking around playing rubbish through there mobile phones or blasting rubbish out of there cars
@TheNelsonMate im 14 and i hate crap that they play now on the weekends i go everywhere with my dad. we sit in his ford and play music like this all day long. its this music i love becuase it has a true meaning to it a story behind it. its this era of music that i love.
@scooby9234 Know how you feel mate stuck listening to the mainstream shit with no meaning or story in the lyrics, im just so glad there was a generation and many before he knew what music was and made it what should always have been.
