  • This song makes me fall in love with the thought of "a father"...what that means. MY GOD. A MAN understands. I happen to have "one". To speak for the real ones who are out there....the ones who don't make the news. The ones who just love their babies and are grateful for the short time they "have" them. It won't be like this for long. I Thank GOD for him/them. Thank you for being real daddies. Thank GOD for you. Thank you for being real men. Thank you.

  • This goes out to my boys i love them so much!!

  • he is a very great singer.....great song

  • i cry everytime i hear this song cuz i know that when i have kids they wont be with me forever so i will hold onto them as long as i can and i will cherish being with them forever

  • Darius, you are killing me. This speaks to me, It is a powerful sentiment which impacts me, it slays me, and with this you have reconnected me with my daughter for which I do not know just how to thank you. I will at the very least buy whatever recordings you have made in hopes that you have sung other important, and touching songs like this. Thank You!

  • @unserviam You never appriciate it until its gone. My daughter was little and her crying aggrivated me. Now shes 3 and I wish I could go back to having to bottle feed her and her totaly needing me all the time

  • QUINTON!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this guy is my hero he made me cry cause this song makes me think of my aunt wen she died

  • When I hear this I cry and think of my little girl who will be 5 this month

  • Love this song

  • No, no baseball here. The only "circles" I hang in are my family and close friends. You would be best to rest your brain, you cannot pigeonhole me. I am a musician and have been for over 20 years. Hoot is anti music. In 1987 at 14 I heard punk rock, led to prog. rock, led to jazz, to fusion, to experimental. I broke out of the Top 40 mold. Started thinking for myself. Challenging myself musically. Hootie IS lowest common denominator fluff. He is like WalMart or karaoke cheesy and unoriginal.

  • @owlandtree Wow I was totally unaware that I was conversing with such a knowledgeable, lets not beat around the bush... Genius! Since 1987 you've been on quite a journey! I bet you own like 1000 records and someone of your caliber has probably got a few signed too! Forgive me for my naivety for listening to something that just sounded good. I see however that someone of your intelligence is still trying to make opinion into fact! Hootie IS what it IS! But just to clarify, I'm a Darius Rucker fan

  • ...sweet bitter country blues... nice :)

    -DD

  • after two baby girls due to early labour this song make s my heart break . makes me think of how much we lost.

    such a powerful song touches us both thank you Darius your songs as solo and with hootie hit the right spot!! please head to Australia soon

  • after two baby girls due to early labour this song make s my heart break . makes me think of how much we lost.

    such a powerful song touches us both thankyou Darius your songs as solo and with hootie hit the right spot!! please head to Australia soon

  • what kind of guitar?

  • I like this song by Darius Rucker. I sang this in the club a few times.

  • I'm looking for a tab to this version... amazing guitar, amazing vocal. Anyone?

  • the 20 dislikes it want be like this for long

  • DARIUS RUCKER LAS VEGAS LOVES YOU !

  • Hootie is awful. It amazes me that people like this guy's cheezyness. Not quite Christian, not quite adult contemporary, just scratchy singer song writher/ powder puff pop. I would rather kids watch barny or live surgery than this guy. If you are over 16 and have bought a Hootie item; you might be boring everyone that you talk to on a daily basis to death....oh and she was just being nice, dude.

  • @owlandtree LOL..... This was funny! Almost an intelligent insult!!

  • @owlandtree This was so close to being an intelligent witty insult!! better luck next time... oh and you are welcome to your opinion, however it is wrong!

  • @Zeppelinica I forgot about this one. Thanks for the proverbial gold star! However, it is a well known fact among certain circles with at least minimal brain functioning, that Hootie is awful. His band was a college frat experiment gone too long and his solo stuff is sophomoric, at best. Points for reading the pulse of the marketing habits of the tasteless for Hootie, though.

  • @owlandtree Ah, your the pretentious type who hangs around in 'circles'... go figure! Do you all paint little figurines and have a fantasy baseball league too? As your clearly not aware, music is subjective... however the fact, FACT, that this song has effected people emotionally is not! Not even you 'circle can argue opinion against fact.... although I'm sure you all think you can!

  • Comment removed

  • @owlandtree Did you really just say "it is a well known fact that Hootie is awful?" I would think that someone with a minimally functioning brain would know that could be the dumbest sentence ever. Maybe you should look up "fact" in the dictionary. It might be good to review the difference between opinions and facts. Especially because everyone knows that The Wiggles are the greatest band ever.

  • @7qwertzuiop7

    I think it's a Taylor.. Can't see the headstock that well though.. I'm judging by the body :)

  • @7qwertzuiop7

    I think it's a Taylor.. Can tell by the expression system when it zooms in on the fret board :) Not sure what model.. Might a 800 series :)

  • Voices of a thousand angels couldn't sound as sweet

  • 18 people don't understand beauty

  • Love this song.

  • My band was fortunate enough to open a show in Boise Idaho when he and we played about 1/2 apart. He's a great guy. No inflated ego or anything. Fun to hang with back stage. He's just like you'd want him to be.

  • some sweet guitar work

  • Things song gets me on the verg of tears... the lyrics tell the american story of a family and life iteself.. just overall and heart felt song that would bring any family man to tears

  • only a parent would understand this

  • @jj83jj83 not true, im an 18 yr old and been through a lot in my life and i fully understand this.

  • Darius is much more interesting as a country artist than he was as a rock artist. He's got country soulful nailed.

  • gräßlich

  • TO ALL OF US THAT ARE GRACED FROM GOD WITH HAVING CHILDREN, THIS IS SO TRUE... NEVER WISH TIME BY.... ALWAYS SHOW THEM LOVE , JUST LIKE GOD DOES US, EVEN WHEN HE HAS TO DISCIPLINE US. I LOVE YOU MELISSA AND KEVIN DALE AND MY OTHER DAUGTS. AND SONS AND OF COURSE THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD FOR LETTING ME HAVE 4 BEAUTIFUL , WONDERFUL, INSPIRING GRANDCHILDREN. I DON'T GET TO SEE MINE AS MUCH AS I USED TO, I MISS ALL OF U SO MUCH. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • @jweikle1 Im in the Air Force stationed in nevada..My ex wife is stationed in Texas with my 3yr old daughter who is my world. On her visit her, she made me place this song every day and it was so bitter sweet. Sweet because she sang it and it's a good song, but bitter, cause the words sting just a bit...Seeing your little girl every six months at best is pretty rough...Amazing song..Love being a daddy

  • favorites

  • Quinton u r soooo awesome

  • Darius Rucker is an incredible vocalist, but I personally can't get into him doing country as much, because the Hootie and the Blowfish album Cracked Rear View holds a place in my heart. A lot of good a few not so good memories associate themselves with that album. Like I said, he's incredible, does country well, but for me, Darius Rucker will always be the frontman of Hootie. That's my opinion, take it for what it's worth. I am entitled to my opinion. :-)

  • im glad you people commented too my stupid comment.....shes 1/3 of his age....and has just as much money......comment on that

  • @batman42086 and half the talent. Shes got the tweens by the balls and thats where the money is at. The only reason she has the cash.

  • Many songs can be used for many purposes in the idea that a song might mean something different to each person that hears it. Usually, they are abstract, but this song is pretty clear and to the point, but I dont have kids.

    It reminds me of life's struggles. Times when it seems like "F" what do I do now. Times that seem hard that when you look back it was a time you really enjoyed and would like to go back too. Because, it wasnt nearly as tough or as bad as it really seemed at the time!

  • The switch from the pop genre to country was the best decision Darius could have made. He is an amazing vocalist and he deserves to play his music for the best fans in the world. We country fans love our greats, and Darius is quickly becoming one of them.

  • This song reminds me why I love country music!! ;D

  • Biggie Smalls

  • such a talented artist,i still wouldn't call it country,he was so undreappreciated with Hootie, im glad he is getting the recognition that an artist of his caliber deserves!

  • He is SOOO awesome. Love you Darius!!! Sounds so great!!!

  • recently found this song like a week ago, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. i immediately fell madly in love with this song and especially the lyrics<33 i think of my daddy and me everytime i listen to this (((:

  • simply beautiful

  • i dont know how you rate taylor to darius....they're both good.....but not in the same category

  • @batman42086 maybe cause they're both country?

  • @batman42086 Darius is just as good live as he is on his cd's. Taylor, not really.

  • @bigdaddyclem1 tyour clueless

  • @batman42086 Darius is awesome live. Taylor is more studio than actual talent.

  • @bigdaddyclem1 You obviously don't know what your talking about and have never seen Taylor Swift live because she is awesome live

  • @iampoolman I have seen her live too. I was disappointed. I'm not trying to talk trash. I was genuinely surprised at how much difference there was. When they asked her to perform live she " Should've Said No".

  • He is trully amazing!

  • Hootie Tinged song !

  • einfach geil!! *gänsehaut*

  • Love him.

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of my favorite songs, I know no one cares( just thought I'd put it out there).

  • wow!! sweet and soft... touched in the same time... love it, love him!!

  • QUITE good

  • What a voice. Thank god for music.

  • @staindlover420 Darius Rucker will make you say that

  • darius is awesome

  • ....IS BEATIFUL !!!!

    THANK YOU.....

  • Now there is a man that just loves to sing

  • insanely good!

  • he reminds me of eminem... racially

  • Darius Rucker proves that it's the person behind the guitar and the song in their heart that matters, and nothing else.

  • he sounds great

  • DAMN.

  • i love darius ruckers music she right it wont last long ilook at my 10yr old daughter and she is grow so fast she isnt even a little girl no more i tell her to stop growing lol she looks at me and says mommm! life gos fast take time to be in your kids life

  • 4:02 seconds of my life well spent

  • Why isn't Darius playing the guitar?

  • @LiftedScarecrow

    to be able to sing EXACTLY like this ??!!

  • yeah... i love this song..

  • This is why I love listening to country!! Most of the singers have real voices like this and not computer voices. Darius kicks A-S-S!!!!

  • awesome.....loved you as "hootie" also....wonderful, sound filled, orig voice...please dont stop singing!!! Very true lyrics too! ........so impressed!

  • So very true! Send it out to all couples with children.

  • beaut!iful one of mine got married in june

  • I'm holding my newborn listening to this. It's definitely a tear jerker <3

  • I would LOVE 2 clarify that I am a songwriter and I've been writing since I was 5 years of age. It is not that I can not sing..... I CAN SING, AS WELL. However, I'd love to Jam with Mr. Darius and his Band. I actually live in his area and might actually run into him and have the opportunity. I've been exposed to big stars my whole life, and I know God works in mysterious ways. IT COULD HAPPEN. He and I could Jam, all night long. Write a song together, a Book, a Poem, a Screenplay... or anything.

  • Wow! Loe this song. Want to write for him soooooo baaaaad. I am praying, and trusting in God.

  • write for him?? good luck...

  • @guitarplayer3602 Hey! Yes, why not - its not like he's God, ya know. It could happen. I've heard he's a cool, laid back kind of fellow.

  • i dedicate this song to my dad i miiss you

  • ABSOLUTELY AMAZING <3 I cannot wait for my baby girl to arrive :)

  • I love Darius Rucker!!  I also saw him open for Rascal Flatts over the summer at Montague Mountain. The concert was amazing!!!

  • i love u daddy the first time i heard this song i cried!! this is gonna be my wedding song for me and my daddy!!!!!

  • I like this song, good melody, nice message!!!

  • It may seem that way but she has very fresh and mature for her age lyrics and Darius has vocals that are very hard to compete with true but if u liked 'big yellow taxi' by the Counting Crows feat Vanessa Carlton..then u might see what i mean although that song could have used a little more V.Carlton(in my opinion)...Darius is awesome no doubt dude,no disrespect but i think it would come out nice.

  • I think a collaboration with Taylor swift would be epic...their lyrical centers and style of song would mesh nicely;)

  • taylor swift couldnt hold a candle to darius!!!!

  • @kirktcb Taylor swift is a little bit better

  • @kirktcb  i know right

  • @kirktcb no one can

  • i love this song so much.. i spend about a half hour a day listening to htis awsome guy. so wish i can go to his consurt!!

  • saw him over the summer opening for rascal flatts... so great... if you can go see him well worth it. wanted to leave after his act... they didn't compare

  • Whoa!! Listened this album the whole day through and i thank my lucky stars that i found this full album for free download at DownloadMusic[DOTTT]im , .

  • I like his new stuff but i still think hootie and the blow fish is better.

  • It's really not that different from the Blowfish other than the backing musicians are MUCH better...

  • Is that Ghomeshi playing guitar for him?

  • @hellevonequities no its quentin gibson

  • Awesome Awesome. Darius has quickly become one of my favorite artists.

  • pyter

  • Darius and the guitarist are like magic. Pure magic.

  • Man wish hed done the whole album like this just him and this amazing guitarist, once in a studio they tend to overproduce everything. anyone else agree? ha ha

  • Darius and the guitarist should never part they sound good together. I am very impressed with Darius even when he was hootie and the blowfish...good job...All artist should be able to sing live like this but we know that is not true.

  • exelent---super

  • <3 wow im amazed<3

  • i luv his voice!!

  • beautiful song.

  • Love this song so so so much!

  • i love darius rucker...the first time i saw him i thought he sings rap or pop songs but wow!!!he has a great voice for country songs.i wish i could meet him in person and sing for me...i love darius...

  • @umatikemme rap or pop? only know him from Hootie&the blowfish...  ...don't like country normally, but still like his voice and sounds like a very good song...

  • people yall need to need to jst stop arguin this is a GREAT sng u dnt need to b negative its disrespectful..

  • A universal song sung from truth...

  • He has a great country voice...one of the best!

  • great song!

  • He looks like Turk from Scrubs!

    Great music.

  • @extremskaters, a lilttle, he's got a bit darker skin tone.

  • Forget about Darius......Quinton is awesome! (and hot as hell)

  • Is there any way to purchase a copy of this version?

  • OMG i didnt know darius ruker was black!!

    omg wtf wow hes kewll

    wait he is black right or is he just really really tanned??

  • w/a comment like that, it proves that the best part of you did in fact fall down your daddy's leg and that you should have been swallowed!

  • wtf is that supposed to mean? ok i didnt know he was black alright and i know alot of people who look black but theyre just really tanned ok so dont get mad at me if you are and i said wow hes kewl meaning hes awesome i didnt mean anything bad geez

  • There's a SIGNIFICANT difference between being BLACK and looking 'very very tanned'...and anyone who can't tell the difference...should have been eaten by Jefferey Dahmer!

  • well im sorry i didnt mean to offend anyone, all i was trying to say in the first place was wow i didnt know he was black ok i think hes amazing and im sorry if your angry with me ok so you neednt shout im a big country fan but just im sorry ok like i said before i didnt mean to make you angry ok?

  • He has one of the best voices of all country male singers he is very tallented. Thank god for country

  • @ChristianGM96 Taylor Swift will never hold candle to this voice! ...she might sell some albums.......but listen to this voice!!!

  • @breman1107 Looks like it's in E major (chords - A > E > B > C sharp minor) from what I can tell.

  • Does anyone have the tabs for the song...the way this guy plays it???
