@menthal1 Do you have any kids?? Better question being are you involved in their lives even??? Being a stay at home parent is a job! I am a stay at home mom. That involves cleaning, cooking, entertaining the kids and also stimulating their minds. If you have any kids your probably the type who is more interested in partying and are never home. It takes A LOT to dedicate your self to staying home with your family.Our generation was raised by babysitters and daycares. We aren't that great.
i want to hear a cover of this where the words are changed to 'mother of mine'. my boys' mom walked out and i think it sucks for kids who this happens to, i would never give up the chance to stay in their lives, because they are so precious and no greener grass anywhere would ever be worth losing them. my four year old twins sat on my lap last night and sang along with sublime videos for hours. how cool is that--their mom has no idea what she is missing.
I saw them a couple of years ago in Calgary at a club. They put on a great show. Original singer and I'm not sure who else ... got a great t-shirt :)
I remember when my parents split up. I cried all of the time, but now I realize that I'm super lucky because my mom and dad are okay with each other now. And my dad's house is really close to my mom's!!! My dad is really great and I'm so lucky for it. In fact, I'm using his lap top right now ^^ I wish every dad could be like mine...
my dad could have walked out on me and my sister, when i was around 6 , i still remember coming home from school ,all his stuff was out on the porch , my parents split and i had too move in with him at age 8
this song reminds me of my life my parents devorced when i was 9 years old that was in 1973 and we moved to the projects but my dad was allways there for me
Children who come from a divorced or missing a mother or father do miss something. Each parent brings something to a child's life. I feel sorry for the kids today where divorce is so rampent.
this song makes me always think of my real grandfather...and how my dad never met him...never got to meet his adopted one either though...its funny how things work out though...his adopted father was an olympic gold medalist boxer...amongst other things I feel for people because I see at such a source of pain for my father...But GOD HEALS ALL, He is the REAL FATHER to the fatherless!
"amongst other things I feel for people because I see at such a source of pain for my father...But GOD HEALS ALL, He is the REAL FATHER to the fatherless! "
So true! In fact - Christ is better than any Human father.
eh my father figure was sort of taken on by my brother for most of my life, but i agree with budatress, if u do not have a brother too look up to most often a teacher or older friend will be willing to fill the role (or relative) or just ure friends period haha friends ftw?
i havent seen my dad since i was thirteen years old. before that, the last time we spoke i was 5 or 6. he never want ed a relationship with me, but i never really cared, or needed him for anything. i have a fine life without him.
this song so describes me but my dad never even met me he walked away before i was born then he likely went to jail and likely died which he deserves death
this isnt my life story....but my dad is home....but he never talks to me and we dont realte....its like im a adobt....and we have never done anything together....so i can relate....and its great song
i don't know your age, & you may alread know that a teacher or distant relatitive extra can fill that parental role. your real 'friends & family" may have nothing to do with biology. good luck mrhsv400.
@drube77 I give props to all stay at home parents. Its a whole different kind of hard to stay home. But also if you can it is more rewarding than I could ever imagine. Way to go you guys =)
lol yea i think you need a job if you got nothing better to do than slam people's comment that were made over a year ago???? you get jobs when you need money i dont need money ! my kids need me more than i need money right now.
but i would not expect a dumb ass to understand @menthal1
@dreaminglad oh boohoohoo..lazy dad..er i mean dreaminglad..and no i too dont need to work..only because i have money..so whats ur excuse again? oh yeah thats right..LAZY! and using ur kids need u as an excuse..lmfao..btw i dont care if u made that comment a year ago..or not..LAZY IS LAZY! GET A JOB LAZY DAD! DAMN!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dont talk about your fucking parents like that fucking losers they raise your asses and you talk shit!! there are some loser parents but the ones that keep you...fuck fags!
i dont know why yall talk real bad about your dad...but as for me..my mom left my dad because she said he was veryrude talking and she just left him because of that..i hate my mom..i wishs her the worst even though shes my mom..i will totally prefer to live with my dad..fortunately i see him every night..we go to have dinner @ my grandma's but after that...i have to live with my mother and i just hate her..my brother also ahtes her...
Me and my mother left when I was in grade 4. My father left for Calgary September 1st 2007. I remember our last hug, his smell and his voice. My dad has been trough some pretty bad stuff, and even though he might have brought some of it upon himself, I love him for trying to be a father. <3
in the video wonderful the Missy from neds declassified school survive guide is in ti and now in this video the kid from beans from even stevens is in it...... weird
this song always brought me to tears because my dad was scum he was so wraped up in dealing drugs and he really did beat my Mom and left when i was 6then I ran into him 5 years later and he was only worse. Thats why hes rotting away in prison. But like ForceWhiteWolf said you dont miss him but at the same time theres that piece missing inside that can't be fixed. I turned out alright though now Im going into the Marines and got out of Baltimore. So for anyone who is the same way you can get thru
Hey listen hes not talking about everyones father hes talking about his telling other fathes to not leave their kids like his did! I mean this song is about how successful you can be if you put your mind to it! Although this man grew up in a prodoinatley white neighborhood as a white young man and rose above it all to become a succesful rockstar!
fuck Gottas, this almost makes me feel nostalgic. if you ever visit this song , talk to your college attending girl. please. i almost loved you as my dad.
this song reminds me of my father, but the thing is, that my mother is the one who went away and took me with her, so i dont blame my father for not being there, how could he? if i was taken away from him
You know boys who grow up without fathers deep down feel that they don't care cause they don't know what its like to have 1 in the first place. But deep down somewhere I can't explain in like my brain is all this anger and rage we all have that is influenced by our feelngs of abandon.Its scary imagining to have a son cause I have no idea of how to be a dad. I never had 1 so How could I know? I pray for a girl.That wouldn't be so bad.
When I first got this cd (So much for the afterglow), this song did bring me to tears, as my dad left before I was 5 (thinkin it was something I did). I have no kids, maybe this is why, I did not want a kid going through the same shit I did. Wow, I did not realize how much all that affected my life.
kinda sounds like me. its been 17 years and i still havent met my father. dont have a clue where he is. struggling to get through everyday without thinking of where he might be
This song is very passionate and sad. It is really pathetic how some parents disappear from their child's life. People like that shouldn't even have a puppy, let alone a child.
I am someone who was lucky enuff to grow up in a happy household with two parents. but to those who werent music like this is a great outlet and I apologize for these idiots on here who never had to get through anything without someone holding their hands. music is the language that connects so many, great song whether you like everclear or not
Ultimately for some of us, a sad connection to so many of us who had difficulties with our fathers. Excellent music is that which connects to so many of us. Everclear rocks!
wow hearing this song brings me back, it got me through a lot of hard times in high school. My dad left when I was 3... I think it's impossible to understand how hard it is to grow up without your dad unless you've been through it. It took a lot of courage for Art to put this sing out I'm sure. It's painful!
ssssonicyouth, this is ridiculous? So why are you on this video, hmmm? YOU'RE ridiculous for being so ignorant. Everclear are one of the greatest bands ever. Grow up and fuck off. Thanks :)
your father didn't give u that wannabe "white-nigger" hair/bleach job!!!!!!!! ur greek and i can fucking c ur dark roots, just like i can c them on all the "white-nigger-wannabe-fakers." u were "NEVER" a "SCARED-WHITE-KID-IN-A-BLACK-NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!!!!!" OWN UR RACE, FUCK, GREEK. U SHOULD B PROUD AND B ORIGINAL AND SHOW UR NATURAL HAIR COLOR AND "QUIT" TRYING 2 B SOMETHING UR NOT. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT "WHITE-NIGGERS" R TRYING TO "WHORE-OUT" AND FAKE THEIR "NON-BLONDE" HAIR COLOR. REPRESENT&BPRD!
You're right, he wasn't a scared white boy in a black neighbourhood, except for you know, when he was under 10 and his mom had to move his family to Mar Vista Gardens in California because his dad ran off. Other than that though....
This song is way badass. I'm pretty sure memories flood back to anyone who grew up listening to or heard this song when they were little...haven't heard this in over 5 years and I've just been reminded how awesome Everclear is.
for sure - my dad went to work and shot himself when I was 12 - decades later I finally read his suicide note -- still don't get it. Everybody out there, if/when you finally become a parent, be merciful to your offspring...
At least Art Alexakis wrote this song, and expressed it in a not so depressing way. It's touching that he would think others out there who has this same situation can relate, but with a brighter mood in the song. Somewhat sounds like. That's a tough story to come clear on, anyway.
fuck man, my dad was in the hospital for a few weeks and it was scary as hell when i heard this song. he wouldnt have been walking out but this song kinda relates cuz it talks about living life without your dad...
some people don't deserve kids if they dont no how to rise them either kill them before they are born or give them to someone who wants to riss them if ur going to plan on haveing kids make sure you try to be a parent and dont run out on them
man this song makes me appreacite that my dad actually stuck around for me. Really makes you think. next time yur pissed at one of yur folks remember they could have walked out...
this song is sad and it is sad when this happns to kids and they turn around and do the same thing my dad wasnt around much when i was kid and i will never be the same like he said on here
Just because he thinks the song is shit doesn't mean he has a perfect family. He doesn't like the song. That's the music, the melody, not the subject matter.
This song is really great and it's kinda sad that the singer from this band wrote this song obviously for his father...but everclear is a kickass band and well I hope of seeing them one day on concert
i love this song, my parents split when i was like 6 or 7 and my mom and step dad also split a couple years ago. No worries though life works itself out :)
my parents have been together 20 years, im only 16, they never split but the part of the song that says the only white boy in a black neighborhood i can relate,my family was the only white family in Indianapolis,Indiana,lol
HAHAH it's beans from even stevens

Haha holy shit good call on that! Totally beans.
This song is way badass. I'm pretty sure memories flood back to anyone who grew up listening to or heard this song when they were little...haven't heard this in over 5 years and I've just been reminded how awesome Everclear is.

for sure - my dad went to work and shot himself when I was 12 - decades later I finally read his suicide note -- still don't get it. Everybody out there, if/when you finally become a parent, be merciful to your offspring...

At least Art Alexakis wrote this song, and expressed it in a not so depressing way. It's touching that he would think others out there who has this same situation can relate, but with a brighter mood in the song. Somewhat sounds like. That's a tough story to come clear on, anyway.

Just because he thinks the song is shit doesn't mean he has a perfect family. He doesn't like the song. That's the music, the melody, not the subject matter.
I, however, think the song kicks ass.
