  • Can't make it through this song without tearing up.

    The real irony here is, Dad was the one always wanting to plan activities. But I was more interested in playing stupid video games and getting stoned with my stupid "friends". Now I'm a sophomore at university and trying to plan things with him on his busy schedule.

    This makes me realize how much I love my dad... I subconsciously emulate him. I'm joining the military to be like my SEAL father.

    He's my goddamn hero

  • Listening to this song will hit you right were it hurts and really open your eyes to how much we need to teach and spend time with our kids, because next time we have the chance they may not be there. They grow up like you do they look up teach them well leave with your kid holding his head high and proud to say that was my father.

  • Only song to ever make me cry, so powerful.

    It makes me miss my dad.

  • This song makes me sad and gives me a knot in my throat but it is so good I cant stop listening

  • Like many others, my father was a complete failure in life, alcoholic and worthless. I haven't talked to him in 20 years. But his failure made me be a better person and father, I listen to this song as a reminder that I'm a different person to my 11 year old, reminds me how much a father matters and things are much different.

  • From the time I was little my dad told me he felt like this song was just like our relationship because he had to move away. I didn't blame him for being gone because I knew he couldn't be here. He moved back, but when he got here I had grown up and he didn't have any interest in spending any time with his only son. A few years later he finally wants me to spend time with him, but by then I lost all interest of having him in my life. It all came true as he feared but he did nothing to stop it.

  • Too bad he died

  • My dad left and treated me like crap, let me get abused by his new wife, took me till 16 to tell them both to fuck themselves, I can relate to this song because I never really had a dad.

  • first time i heard this song i was ten, i cried while listening to it with my dad, the first half of the song applied to me and my dad over the next four years i spent countless hours with him at work then he passed away when i was 14 i took over his business with the help of his best friend and i would get home with just enough time to see my mom ans sister fall asleep then i realize as i listen to this song thinking of my dad i grew up to be just like him irony has funny way to present itself

  • first time a song has ever made me cry.

  • Shit nobody let Bruce Wayne see this video you know how he gets about his parents...

  • @dawgga285 same...my dad is a piece of shit I envy all the people with good dads
