[laynesamba]

my parents broke up about 6 months ago. i havent talked to my dad since then. this song made me cry.

[Cuarandera]

@laynesamba layne, i think you should leave a voicemail for him with just this song. or maybe if you want at the end say something simple like, i miss you.

[laynesamba]

@Cuarandera if i had his number... i would :/

[mplsfit]

Anyone else find it maddening that it has counting crows as a suggestion to this video...

[ItchyWangProductions]

that boy is adoreable!

[TheMercman51]

he's right. it aint easy bein a scraed white boy in a black neighborhood. my daddy gave me a name...

[TheBluekewl]

1:46 awww!

[TheBluekewl]

My dad gave me his last name. That's all I've ever gotten from him.

[dookie4life04]

my mom used 2 take me by dad's work so he could see me since he felt awkward coming to our house w/ my grandparents there...age 4 he moved out of state to florida...he only came back 2 virginia when he had 2 bc of child support & then he would see me...but never ne other time...hes adopted & i was his only blood relative...he couldnt b w/ me but he helped 2 raise my cousin when her dad was paralyzed...now just found out i have an 8 month old half sis...it crushed me cuz y wasnt i good enough?

[lxgrkn]

BEANS

[comedyshowlive]

[idlehands1111111111]

90's FTW

[kailanpancake]

this video is so much sadder cause of beans, he was the perfect kid to do this video

[Valval1296]

Should i tell the guy i just dumped to listen to this?

[rosd67]

@Valval1296 yes, because this is my ex's problem. His drinking and everything else!

[bbarton1984]

i did



[SDanceRevolution3]

only watching fop beans. p.s kid has a DONK o_O

[SDanceRevolution3]

BEANSSSS

[12urmomma]

ew its beans

[tregon33]

87 people like fathers that walk out on their children

[SuperSturgy]

@tregon33  your just a damn hater!!!!

[tregon33]

@SuperSturgy no im not my dad didnt walk out on me but when i lived with him we were staying at my uncles and when i came back from visiting my moms he took all his stuff exept for the stuff i made him and left i had no idea were he was untill a kounth later. im just happy he got ahlold of me and didnt just walk out an me for good i know that i felt horrible i cant even imagine how bad other ppl feel when their dads walked out for good

[mike5368]

@tregon33 haha no kidding, eh.

[xcriminal80x]

its tough when they steal your kid and run 1600 miles away....but i never be my "biological father"

[BrittBritt4464]

The little kid is Beans from Even Stevens.

[THOMASTOOMUCH]

At 40 I just talked to my father for the first time.

This song help me

[MsHannahsaurus]

AH MY GOD! ITS BEANS!

[emoslap]

i started crying when i started thinking of my dad and i wish he would take the time to be a dad. He lives less than a 5 hour drive from me but i havnt seen or talked to him since my brothers graduation which was 6 months ago and before that it had been a year and a half. :( i wish he was here more often

[hellbillyvendetta]

i ohave aspergers so theres a 90 percent chance of any child of mine having it so fuck having kids

[mgdriven]

thanks to my baby mama every time i hear this song i feel guilty. Thanks for breaking up our family you $#@%

[Sarahrosebello]

Having a dad isn't always better. My dad gets mad about me for my B in AP biology. He says I'm "throwing my life away". He is pressing for custody and visitation, even though we don't get along and I just lock myself in my room at his house.

I hate this shit.

[capturedevice62]

@Sarahrosebello tell him to blow it out his ass

[arturocruz09]

isnt that beans from even stevens!!! lol awesome song 2.

[Sarahrosebello]

He is quite welcome to have my dad.

[Mr2cool2Bmean]

Absolutely right!!! If you hate your child's parent, well, you should at least spend as much time as you can with the child. Some parents are so selfish, they use children as weapons. Shame on those parents. I always loved my father. He recently passed away, but he will always live in me. I am his Golden Boy, and since he passed away, I live this life for both of us. Remember, children are the children, and we as adults have to be the strong ones. Let's all be cool!!!!!!!!

[skylarandme]

@Mr2cool2Bmean i somewhat agree, my daughters father bailed the moment i told him i was pregnant and now after almost 3 years he wasnt to try to be daddy.. not even try just want to be able to say "thats my baby" he dont work he hasnt paid a dime of child support or helped me out in anyway, and he has a drug problem in my eyes its better he stay away from my baby, he only disapoints

[alexgumby]

Happy birthday dad.

[dragoneater305]

Looks it's Bean fron Even stevens lol.

[kuronekochan1992]

father of mine : physically present but otherwise gone ...such a friggin hypocrite that can see every other flaw aside from his own.

Dearest bastard you ever wonder why none of your kids can make a relationship work with a perfect role model like you ?

[frogg2010]

Yes I understand this song very well I had a dad that went out to buy a pack of cigs and never came back and that was 49 yrs ago...

[rhchesher1]

Wish mine would've. Instead, he decided to stay and try to kill us all

[Jenni4Design]

haven't known my bio-dad, ever. but so glad I was blessed with an awesome step-dad. Doesn't need to be blood link to be an amazing parent.

[gisela8100]

fk remember hearing this song before we were acquainted and thinking,,,'i wish he cld hear this'

[TheJuggalo131]

my dad left me and my sis when i was 7 glad he did he was an ass of all ass

[power823]

i miss my father. got out of my life the same time the song say. 10 yrs old. i miss his ass, then he died last year. feel cheated. well one good thing about him. he said sorry two years before he died but you cant take back the past or fix it. its done. i miss his ass.

[twizz45]

i got two kids that drive me crazy and still wouldnt abandon them never like my dad

[Mynamesoliehoe]

it's great to know that there are people out there who don't make the same mistakes their parents did, like abandon there own kids. Then again their are some people out there who make the exact same mistakes, just because.

[JackDaMan1]

BEANS FTW

[MissElaneeus17]

Omg, is the little kid Beans from Even Stevens?! :O

[SEALSTETHEM]

Just cuz of the bassist, makes me wanna watch jeepers creepers now

[OhLittleSparrow]

it's BEANS!

[ooawrestling1]

whoah.waitwait..is that beans?

[whenindoubt20]

Beans Arrongaron!

[jaredallenfilms]

Bean was in an episode of weeds last Sunday I swear!

[JaK3sUcKeR]

@jaredallenfilms he was!!!

[baghdadroz]

I always thought I loved my son more than my life. He knows what it's like to be abandoned by his father. Now, he's abandoning my daughter-in-law and my little grandson for another woman. I've gone from loving my son to actually hating him. I can't get my little grandson's face out of my mind. He's been crying so much. How can the son I loved so much be the man I now dislike so fiercely? My poor grandson. I love him and he's suffering so much. And I can't make his hurt go away. He's devastated.

[xXapex37Xx]

Sucks for his dad now millions of people hate him.

[xxmsrandomxx141]

BEANSZ!!!!! hee looksz addorableeee lol

[patriotsd]

@xxmsrandomxx141 im pretty sure theres a few too many "z"s in your spelling but lol so true

[noryd]

growin up without a daddy can be rough...any of you dumbass dudes out there that get a chick pregnant should man up and be there.

[twizz45]

@noryd got two babies of my own i live with them and love them

[Paradox313]

@noryd

Or she should woman up and get an abortion.

[jarederajarederaj]

@noryd thats what happened with my parents and now i live with my grandparents and my mom lives in nebraska and my dad lives in ohio :( and i never see them

[louisxiv42]

@noryd fuuck that. just pay for the abortion.

[vunix1234567890]

@noryd Well said, good sir.

[Flagman00]

@noryd I did! As soon as I found out about my daughter I claimed her and took care of her. I have known her 7 years now and she and I have no regrets. My only regret is that her dumb ass step father didn't want me found!

[SuperBluepits]

i know how it feels when your father comes in your life and walks out and thinks its ok to come whenever he pleases ...

[dpc172235]

I feel his pain, I lived it and I see it in him as he walks around as an adult in the projects.

[hugedoinker]

now 2?

[RaynMan718]

Douche bag fathers.

[smileyface7727]

Awww.....that little boy is so frikkin cute. TT.TT

[youathoz]

@BMWg84 no, YOU suck. :) if you dont like the song then why do you bother even coming to the vid and commenting?

[UncleJimba]

This song relates to me a lot. My dad left me and my brother when I was 11 as I just started high school and started meeting new people. He moved 4 blocks away with my mom's old friend and is engaged to her. He barely called me on my birthdays and never asked to hang out with me. I am now 18 years old and still wonder how it would have been like if he were still here.

[twizz45]

@UncleJimba man i fell ya my dad tried to meet at 18 i gave a chance like hell but alll he did is diaappear again

[UncleJimba]

@twizz45 Sorry to hear that. Ahh life goes on though right? If he didn't make the effort to stay in your life he isn't even worth it. That's how I feel anywho.

[19duhart]

@UncleJimba i agree with u he aint worth it i too know how it feels my so called dad walkd out on me n my mom when i was 1 didnt need him then dont need him now is how i feel bout it

[twizz45]

@UncleJimba if anything he thaught what not to do as a dad so i guesss make the best of a worst situation

[SEALSTETHEM]

Thumbs up if u think the guitarist looks like Justin Long

[nelsono415]

@SEALSTETHEM LMAO he really does

[Underjoggle]

@SEALSTETHEM If you mean the bassist, then yeah.

[SEALSTETHEM]

@Underjoggle u knew what i meant lol

[b52at100]

@SEALSTETHEM hes the bassist

[tannermets]

@SEALSTETHEM that and keanu reaves (young not old)

[dpoet19]

@SEALSTETHEM was just about to make that comment. lol

[RoomTroll]

@SEALSTETHEM it's the other way around, Justin Long looks like him

[nikkitaurus]

@SEALSTETHEM most definitely dude. that was the first thing i thought when i saw justin in a movie. the guy from Everclear is way hotter though :)

[ImaJosha]

@SEALSTETHEM

hes playing the bass

[wjmgoodanetz]

@SEALSTETHEM every one of their videos has one of these in the top rated comments, its awesome.

[rhchesher1]

@SEALSTETHEM I think he's asian

[mildew2yahoo]

@SEALSTETHEM the bass player looks like Justin Long.

[VamosRafa16]

@mildew2yahoo then "like" his comment num nuts hahaha

[Redskins2800]

@SEALSTETHEM uhh hes the bassist fyi

[compaq2441]

2:56 most powerful verse in the song.

[generalgovna]

my son is 4 months, and i will NEVER leave him. my dad was and is always there for me. i will follow my fathers example

[Zupra22]

Im inspired

[AnarchyIzzy]

did this song at my schools acoustic concert. surpisingly enough, my dad was there. First time i had seen him in 6 years. Been living on my own since i was 15. 17 now. FUCK DADS.

[ninjaturtlecornhole]

@AnarchyIzzy awhh sorry dude that suckss man

[PsychoHoppip]

@AnarchyIzzy i hear you. bleed you screams on everyone

[rockmeistro]

@AnarchyIzzy careful, you may end up being one yourself.

[MsJANEDOE91]

i love BEANS!!!!!!!!

[eipirani]

fuck men that can make babies but cane be fathers... my father did it to me and my ex did it to my son.... more than that, thank god for all the mothers who selflessly take care of their families and handle their business!

[SpiderWebs2]

"my daddy gave me a name, and then he walked away" story of my life.

[LinkZore3397]

Go BEANS!!!!

[F35Mastergun]

I always tear up a bit when I listen to this song because i can relate to it so much and more.....Amazing song tho

[D1RTYBRUNETTE]

LOVE this song and it's so true, I am his only child you would have thought he wanted something to do with me..he has tried to contact me maybe once a year....my philosophy I wasn't good enough then and he isn't good enough now!

[thaaeroprincess87]

This song is so sad, but it's real and that's why I still like it

[Kochopsticks11]

am i allowed to just like the song without being bitched at because my dad didn't leave me?

[thehammeringprocess]

HELL YEAH!!! i so totally get this song, a simple catchy tune that helped me through my teenage years without my asshole of a dad around.. thank you Everclear u never know what you have done for us when u made this song! beautiful!

[TheChrishaslamfan]

fuck that asshole,im happy the bastard never came back to se me

[ashrisenphoenix]

Such a beautiful thing. I am so glad my parents are still together. But I remember some hard times. He almost left twice. Thank GOD he never did. I know people that grew up like this. It just breaks my heart.

[ParceQueOnAime]

amazing song..

i really hate it when fathers abuse their wife and kids and leave and then come back 15 years later expecting you to forgive them.. thats what my dad did.. screw them all :/

[omgitshillary]

@ParceQueOnAime I know right? I'm running 6 years and waiting for him to come back.

[ParceQueOnAime]

@omgitshillary would you be able to forgive him? my mom tried to force me to accept him back and she would even pay me 20 or sometimes 30 bucks just so i would let her drive me to visit him for a few minutes.. after about 3 months of her doing that i told her i just didnt want anything to do with him anymore and she finally accepted my decision. i havent seen him in about 6 months now.. but hell, i dont need him :/ im mush happier without him..

[00nyx00]

to the people who get this song, i'm sorry you do, to the people that don't, you'll never get it so give up...

[sstyblo]

omg, that kid is so cute, on a seperate note: absintee fathers suck!!!!!!!!

[sstyblo]

omg, that kid is so cute

[SSurfer128]

esa es la realidad de muchos incluso la mia :(

[Kylekorversgirl88]

Beans!!!!

[osavemejeebus]

we all have to grow up, don't we?

[Alienpelvis86]

OMG THAT'S BEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thebuckrogers22]

man what happen to really good hardcore rockers and rock bands such as kid rock, papa roach, limp bizkit, everclear, smash mouth, and etc.??? now all i hear r emo rock bands that dont sound good or hardcore at all.

[Yakiller69]

@thebuckrogers22 hip hop and the era of 12 year olds controlling music. It's a real downer.

[thebuckrogers22]

@Yakiller69 well hip hop has risen but it dont have anything to do with hardcore rock and emo rock bands taking over. i'm just talking about rock lol not these lil 12 yr old girls pissing in their skirts over disney kids or beibers

[gooddogo]

Art, I finally get you... I finally understand your pain. After 5 years of a hellish marriage with you, with your lies and deceit and selfish ways, I finally get your pain. I wish I could have been a stronger person for you back then, but you've done so well for yourself using that pain to fuel an awesome career. I just wish someone had helped you understand finances so you could rest easy now. Use your creativity to write instead of trying to mop up the mess. I hope you're well. Anita

[TheMw2montagekings]

im glad youtube has commercials. without a 30second commercial here and there, we wouldnt have youtube. (a free youtube) so i dont complain

[deadreck024]

at least his dad sent a b-day card and a 5 dollar bill my dad split and never came back.Just because you dont want to be with the mother of your child doesnt give you the right to abandon the child i have full custody of my son.He cries for me when he thinks about me growing up without a dad.it breaks my heart.

[Soulveyer]

@deadreck024 Hear Hear

[ikillyourgod]

@deadreck024 My father did the same, split when I was too little to remember.  Now I am a single father of two, I wouldn't trade my kids for the world.

[gisela8100]

@deadreck024 this song makes me cry, did meet mine again after thirty years, he died two years later,,,still fkn mad at him

[Kazuto900]

@deadreck024 Better to never have had one then to have one and know he does not love you but tries to make it seem like it.

[skylarandme]

@deadreck024 that breaks my heart i have my father in my life but i also have full custody of my daughter shes 2 and her "father" has never been there but in all honesty i rather her father be out of the picture, but it still scares me every single day to think how shes going to feel when shes older.

[cowboy1383]

definately the song i dedicate to the waste of a man that is my father (or lack there of). Gave me a name and walked away.

[TheMelamia]

The anthem of a generation...sadly.

[chaoticinterlude]

The commercials pay for us getting to view the videos for free... No complaints from me

Love this song!

[spikestatus3000]

damn right i think this song is pretty cool too

[Super8StrikesBack]

Haha... this is the the 21st century father role

[RheajosanneImam]

very realistic video......... and yes that's BEANS...

[lovegooforever]

How does he know my dad?

[kennyfan01]

It's Beanz!! lmao

[redbluerecords]

This is such a great song. It feels so real.

[kennyfan01]

@redbluerecords especially if you've damn lived through it. Love it!

[spikestatus3000]

exactly what i think homie

[lilpoindexter]

Damn...this is some sad shit.

[miamifatrat]

f5 skips commercials

[colonelboston]

Seriously, did anyone watch this video--who hasn't seen it in years--not think "holy fucking shit, that's Beans right off the bat?

[frannyk88]

hey is that beenz from even stevens?

[AnarchyIzzy]

Isnt that "Beans" from Even Stevens?

[Squishy708]

@AnarchyIzzy Yeah. It is. lol

[WROCL4WZ]

this song makes me cry matter of fact im crying right now but i love this song so much.....

[Tshiznit691]

ha ha its Beans form Even Steven's

[TrueLoveWillWait5]

BEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Greasemonkey1982]

Great freakin song. Cool video to show somewhat the life he had when he was younger and how it's molded his life. He's done well for having had the lumps in life. I know with my son I'd die before I'd leave him, hurt him, or anything like that or my wife his mother. Becoming a father has been the greatest thing in my life ever.

[AngelsFury69]

0:08 BEANS!!! Even Stevens is the shit

[graphiclab99]

@AngelsFury69

Bernard "Beans" Aranguren is the shit!!!!!!

BEANS

[mackeyf4L]

[blade7606]

F5 fixes advertisements.

[akotasun]

I... really... Love this song...

[MyFoofighters]

Anyone else think the bassist looks lke the Mac guy from the Mac Vs. Pc Commercials?

[EmilyLBowe]

@MyFoofighters yeah...just drop the gotee

[mackeyf4L]

who is that little kid off of ? lol i know i've seem em on a tv show recently

[TheBigGuy11010]

@mackeyf4L he is beans from even stevens

[Nikiand2D]

awe look at little beans!!

[yippe]

i hate to say this, but all the tormented and drug addicted souls made the best music. these days all the kids are from well off families and they have nothing to sing about. There is no depth to the music anymore.

[kokopeli83]

@yippe hate to think exactly like you... but it is sooo true. The 90's gave us so many drug absorbing music geniuses. Hope this dude became a good father though :)

[MyJunior1975]

@kokopeli83 Actually, he did. As a matter of fact, he was on C-SPAN a couple of years ago lobbying for parental rights for fathers. A clip of his appearance may or may not be on YouTube.
