reforms are coming for Texas. Four more years will see most everything Trump does destroyed itself, just as he is ABOUT to wipe out Biden's programming.
Seen this band in San Diego more than 21 yrs. ago w/ a best friend, he died a few days later, u learn to really appreciate ur friends after som thing like that t.
Time goes so quickly but you are still here live your life do what you have to do today and tomorrow And beond the next time you and your friends are out on the town take care of each other
@@lindaleon6108 2001 actually, seems longer tho doesn't it. But still, makes ya think back, just what was everyone doing, what were you and I doing back then...
To the dads/fathers who have cried to this song, sending a powerful blessing to your tears. You deserve massive hugs and value from your kids.God bless the dads who bend and break their backs and cry over their kids whom they can't see or be with🌹
@@thepistolguy859 i commented on how i see and view the song,and put myself in the shoes of the unlucky dads who are going through this.just cause i didn't stick in the dads who are already there etc, doesn't mean my message is wrong... Sensitive are we?
I remember being 5-7 years old and telling my dad this was “our song” without ever knowing the true meaning behind the lyrics. It just felt right. After seeing the video year’s later it was like a direct blueprint of my younger years. Just wanting to see my father on the weekends to avoid the abuse from my stepfather. He passed away last year November 7th. I play this song a lot since even though it’s difficult. I’m glad I got to spend 24 years with him but it still just didn’t feel long enough. Love you paps. And I can’t wait to see you again some day.
My only reply is men should be men again. Not to dis your father because the courts today will send him to jail for 10 years for kicking your step fathers as
Justus, I am so moved by your message. As a dad of a son who I raised alone all his life, and then when he turned 18 got involved in drugs. I never left his side in hospitals and each time he would order me out. We had patched things up at one point because I was going to be a granddad. But, before my granddaughter was born, he blocked me from calling or coming around. We havent spoken now in 6 years. Thjs song was one of "our" songs that we played over and over. I am sorry for your loss of your dad/buddy. I hate that you had to endure the pain of losing him and the abuse at home. Hopefully, you can find peace.
I lived this same scenario in ‘99 and into the early 2000’s so I can relate . This jam was my favorite and I still love it ! 25 years later and I’m still here , my child is still here but her mom is now gone . Things can change quickly .
This song reminds me of my son who I love with all my heart and always will. It's hard to believe that he will be 20 years old this coming March the 4th and he is serving his country so I'm very proud of him and hope he keeps the good work up. Love you always and forever your father.

Scott Ashby I heard it when I was about 10 or 12, I’m 26 now , I wouldn’t same I’m old lol but yeah , definitely understand the song now , makes me enjoy it more to be honest
This song came out just as my ex took my daughter from me. Then I went Into the custody battle phase. I got custody of her at 18 months. She just graduated hs last week. I couldn't be more proud.
I was a single dad in my late 20s when this came out. Now my little girl who I would always think of during this long she's in her early 20s. She made it through.
My divorce was finalized last year and i worry about my little girl all the time. I hope I can be good enough for her but I don't think my ex will allow it considering she is still messing me over to this day. At least somebody made it through. Congrats brother.
Going through my custody battle, was absolute hell. Knowing that Wes was trying to inrove relationships with his sons mom means more than people realize. This song perfectly describes everything I feel for my son. When he is with his mom, I find my self walking around the house for no reason cause I do that when my son is with me. I miss him every day hes nt with me. For all the dads going through custody battles, DONT GIVE UP!!! I, a 24 year old single father, won full custody of my son. Dont give up, cause you have little eyes on you at ALL times!!
This music defines a moment in time, for me, where I finally thought "I have arrived", you know, (everyone on here giving up their deep thoughts), and I am a drummer so I played these songs and that gave me a connection that goes way beyond listening to lyrics. Everything these guys played was from the heart and they all played them OUT. Left blood on the studio floors. I wish to be part of something that real one day and I have had so many opportunities most of you would have KILLED for. I gave them ALL up because I couldn't reach that high. I knew what was going on in my head couldn't get that much angst to drive that engine, all while my career took first and foremost. Took away that pain, or at least distracted me enough that I would be so tired at the end of the day that would only practise for 1 hour. Gave the neighbors a short reprieve, until the weekend at least... lol. My poor neighbors. My poor mother had no choice but to listen because I was only down 1 flight of stairs. And she took it all in and loved every bit of it. Thanks Mom. You are the BEST Mom on the planet and that is a pretty pedestal...
One of the best rock songs - or any songs- written in the last 20 years. The hooks, guitar riffs, driving drums and pounding bass, combined with Wes’ powerful vocals - makes this just such a dynamic punch in the gut. The lyrics and the harmonics bring it to the next level. What’s even better is their hustle - Wes passed the demo tape to Fred Durst at a Limp Bizkit show and he signed them soon after. Sad to see what happened to Wes thereafter - pray he can make a recovery and we can see them on the road again. Truly a remarkable band.
I did sound for this awesome band one night in Reno, NV not too long ago. They were ALL a pleasure (yes, all) to work with and it was a fun day of laughing about life and such with them. That show that I had the privilege to mix was, IMHO, one of their somewhat rare awesome nights where they were ON in every way and the sold-out crowd loved it. So glad I got the chance to work with them. Good times.
I was supposed to see these guys play live a while back but wes scantlin never showed up, met him an hour and a half later piss drunk in the strip club lmao
Who cares! I've done for many well-known bands but I'm not trying to impress anybody with name dropping. I was just pointing out how great it was to work with Puddle of Mudd that day in Reno, NV at the Rockbar Theater. Wes, yes Wes, arrived early that day though he didn't do sound check but I knew he wouldn't be there when the show was booked. It was a cool day hanging with all the band which, for the most part, I had met that day. I know Dave, the rockin' drummer, who I've had the pleasure to work with in other bands he plays with. This Puddle of Mudd show is one of my favorite shows I've ever mixed. Have a great day.
When I married my wife and our four awesome kids' mother in 1985, we made a commitment that no matter what, we would power through ANY and ALL adversities and stay together for our kids! We honored that commitment. And we sure did have some adversities! FOur awesome and successful kids later with five grandkids, I could not be more proud! Stay together for your children, people! If for no other reason, stick it out for your babies! They deserve it, and you BOTH owe that to them!
I am 60 married 41 years we both have always loved POM! Wes is an awesome singer and actor🎉 Yes, this really paints a very true picture of how break ups with kids involved is very painstaking😢
This song makes me think of my mother who passed when I was 19. I always tear up from this song. I miss her so much. 7 years has passed and it still feels like yesterday. RIP mom... thinking about you. ❤
I know the feeling I lost my mom in January this year at 3 am the morning after my birthday. I spent my whole birthday in the hospital with her praying she would make it through the day and I got the call right after i went to bed. R.I.P Mom I love u 💯
Damn Tasha condolences darlin'...Wherever you Ma is she loves ya Tasha remember that... Never Forget~But she lives on in you!!! Keep your head up sweet heart!!!
@Ashley Lavergne If you hear a man call another man "brother" chances are you've found one. A man who can be a brother is a man who can be a husband and a father.
This was my favorite song as a kid my parents got divorced and i remember watching the music video to this when i was little and it looked like it told the same story. Funny thing is my dad just talked to me the other day when it came on the radio and said every time it comes on he thinks about that time and i told him i told him that i felt the same way about it. This song means a lot to me and him i just had no idea he felt the same way i did. So now i cant stop listening to it.
Same here song came out when my kids were splitting up. I remember Being in middle school. It would come out every morning as I got ready for school. Really tough time for me.
+Jan Talamantes I remember listening to this song! Hearing the top 10 songs throughout the year... And listening to blurry my Puddle of Mudd... And thinking this is the end of the progressive grunge era! After that Korn, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Stereophonics, Cage the Elephant, Deaftones, Linkin Park, Has pretty much control the rock industry! With pretty decent music!
This song is part of my history. Crazy to go back and finally see the tribute to Fatherhood, now that I struggle with the challenges of fatherhood myself. Thank you.
I never struggled with the challenges. When my first wife got pregnant on our honeymoon, it just changed my way of thinking. After our divorce, I even had to take custody from her because she was a raging alcoholic. I took my daughter everywhere and did a lot of things. My friends still say they never thought I had it in me. I did.
My kids were 4 and 5 when this was released. I remember thinking I could never take them away from their father. We went through some shit, but we stuck it out for them, and now we’re married 27 years and still happy. Both of them are grown, educated, well-adjusted, great human beings. I partially credit this song for helping me understand what a mistake it would’ve been to split my family up.
You have a right to happiness too and love’s capacity for forgiveness and understanding are unending. Anyone who loves you would understand your reasons and hear you thoroughly. :)
The pain a father feels when his son is taken away from him and he can't be there for him as much as he wants. I know exactly how it feels. I miss you my boy, Micah.. I cherish every moment we spend even though it's just a little.
I’m going to try and go get mine that got put for adoption, I’d like to apologize and call my self out on TH-cam , Dylan Fields. If someone needs a haircut and a self esteem boost @smoovecutzz.
i been a single father for 4 years im 25 and i been raising him on my own for so long the struggle is real peeps support or not this song helped me push harder thanx puddle ;)
kids dont give a dam how much money you have or what you own only that your together.him first girls second always.you will be known to him as a good father.enjoy the ride
Lyrics: Everything's so blurry And everyone's so fake And everybody's empty And everything is so messed up Preoccupied without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble, then I crawl You could be my someone You could be my scene You know that I'll protect you From all of the obscene I wonder what you're doin' Imagine where you are There's oceans in between us But that's not very far Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face Everyone is changing There's no one left that's real So make up your own ending And let me know just how you feel 'Cause I am lost without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble, then I crawl You could be my someone You could be my scene You know that I will save you From all of the unclean I wonder what you're doing I wonder where you are There's oceans in between us But that's not very far Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Oh Nobody told me what you thought Nobody told me what to say Everyone showed you where to turn Told you when to run away Nobody told you where to hide Nobody told you what to say Everyone showed you where to turn Showed you when to run away Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me No! This pain you gave to me Can you take it all? Take it all away This pain you gave to me Take it all away This pain you gave to me Take it all away This pain you gave to me
Word-sometimes people live there whole life, trying to understand “WHY” that the children, get hurt, cause of decisions that Kids are making Adults decisions Decisions! Finding Laughter, that guides the light, that Gods love will override! It’s been a Journey in the desert, and am forever thankful for his love for me!
Must say,one of the best,absolutely...love this number, the guitars, the voice, the drums, everything. Early 2000s excellent time for this kind of music.Pity it's long gone,miss those golden music period
April 2024 now.... Went through a divorce back in 2011.... My son just moved back here by me.... God this song speaks to me --- THANK YOU PUDDLE OF MUDD... you guys really rock
For YEARS, I couldn't remember the name of this song. I knew the melody but couldn't remember the name or the artist. It drove me up the wall. Finally I found the song and realized it was Puddle of Mudd. Turns out all that time, my friend actually toured with them. Funny, thing, if I would have sung it for him, he still probably wouldn't have recognized it anyway.
Incredible song. I don’t comment alot, but a friends daughter likes nostalgia and I share things with her; (hippie days). She helps me with understanding current lyrics and songs she likes. We played this song today and it reminded me of my late husband’s children who he had custody of. Their mother was an alcoholic at the time, and we all struggled as a family to have the kids lead a normal life. I remember they packed their bags after an argument with their dad and I and called their mom saying they wanted to be with her. I never felt so defeated, but she never came to pick them up and they were devastated. We all had a talk and smoothed things over, but seeing their faces that night and listening to their cries throughout the night was horrible. I swore I would never hurt them in that way. Years forward and being an older lady, my son has always been there for me. He always calls to remind me that if I need anything, he’ll be there. My daughter reunited with her biological mother and wants to mend things; I understand. Life is harsh sometimes, but that’s life. My “little companion” helps me with evaluating lyrics and says I’m like an old wizard, and I’ll make it. Lol
I cry every time I listen to this song. My son is my whole world, I'm not with his mother but we both put him first no matter, hes in my life every weekend. I'm so grateful for that
Hey, I get it, I do. You have a failed marriage. And a child was the fruits of your labours, ( as sorts..) But man, I had better not be paying for your fuckin kid, I'm tired of us tax payers paying for your fuckin.. means by your failed marriage..certainly not the child, but even yet do the same, you and the bitch you laid with, made this kid, You and her need to pay for it, not me.
That's great parenting! Marriage doesn't last, but your child will be your child and is a responsibility you can't back out of. Good luck to you guys keeping your interaction stable for your kid!
My dad is dead and this is one of the few things i have left from him and that is my love for rock music and this is how our relationship was. I miss you dad
i like this song alot. i know when i seen the video i broke down into tears because my wife had just left and taken my daughter without any word of why or a reason. didnt see my kid for 2 monhs , nothin. then the divorce. only answer i got was she was "bored of me". but yeah , this video still makes me cry because even after all thsi time its still raw.
Chirrut Imwe....I'm sooooooooooo sorry that happen! I hope you got see your daughter since this post. women often forget it takes 2 to make a baby meaning she's half yours. well wishes and good luck@
Being a teenager moving away from everyone listening to this had one meaning. Fast forward to now when I have kids and this song has a whole next level of meaning. The nostalgia mixed with the emotional lyrics and tone, it's hard, actually really hard, to listen to, but it's a classic!
Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to the first time I saw this video during the summer of 2002. My family was on vacation in Hawaii, and we were eating at the Hard Rock Cafe in Kona when this video came on, and I was 8 years old and my brother was 6, and it just leaves a really good memory for me of when me and my brother were younger during much simpler times, and it just makes me happy for some reason.
Haven't got to see my kid in almost 5 months. That's the longest my son and I haven't been together since he was born. But for sure plenty of strange men have been with my son trying to act like Daddy. It is a tragedy.
@Air Gorden That's true. Sometimes I don't even ask Him to change my situation- since He knows better than I do what I need- but I ask for the strength, courage, and faith to get through it and/or change things myself.
when i with his.. and when my dad sang this first it reminded of good times we had , and he had my back .. in the groove ..and at ozzfest they were probably there ... go dad and pomudd ...ss ...
I remember this being on one of my brothers Madden games back in the 2000s. I always loved this song, but never payed attention to the words until now... This is why fathers MATTER
I haven't seen my one and only son since Dec 2023, this was awesome song and now I found out its about it is wrapped around my heart rock balladfor me. I don't know much else about this group.
I used to cry and sing this song at the same time.....thinking that my daughter would never love me because of the corrupted thoughts her father bred into her. After YEARS, she came around and we have corrected the wrongs. For all of the single parents out there......LOVE will get you through the hard times. I never thought it was possible, but it happened. BELIEVE in LOVE.
Sunny Stroud God is love. Keep it simple and smile it up. You were given the chance, she came around... Imagine all those that didn't get to experience that.
Tristan Lewis ... so am I. Just hang in there.. my daughter just turned 3 and hasn't seen me since she was almost 2..been over a year and it kills me she's not gonna remember me because of her selfish mother. I hurt everyday, but just listening to old songs like this really helps
her father didnt make her not love you....only you can do that....if YOU seriously love someone they will know it and feel it....nothing anyone can say to change that..."oceans in between us , but thats not very far"....guess you dont even relate to the songs subject........#man-hater.
In 2001 I was 3 yrs haha but I listened to this years later in 2007 I think. I'm 20 now so nostalgic How I miss the 00's 😢 that time still had nice rock bands and not to mention the movies, tv shows😍😢. Was not a long time ago but everything was so different and still had a little bit of the 90's so glad I lived my childhood in that era
@@y_0886 i was 6 but didn't get into them until I was 14 (well I'm not a big fan but dig a few tracks) I use to listen to alternative rock stations when I was 12 (somehow they didn't play them) got into classic rock at 14 a classic rock/modern rock station would play psycho then I heard Blurry and Control on KCAL rocks during high school oh the nostalgia (I'm 24 now ☺) miss my high school days
Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake And everybody's empty and everything is so messed up Pre-occupied without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble then I crawl You could be my someone you could be my scene You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene I wonder what you're doing imagine where you are There's oceans in between us but that's not very far Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it my face Everyone is changing there's no one left that's real To make up your own ending and let me know just how you feel 'Cause I am lost without you I cannot live at all My whole world…
Malibu Boats used this as their THEME SONG on their 200X CD to advertise their boats - talk about perfect motivation for triumphant wakeboarding. I can still close my eyes and relive those days!

Time goes so quickly but you are still here live your life do what you have to do today and tomorrow And beond the next time you and your friends are out on the town take care of each other

if you're still listening to this 2 decades after its release, you're awesome 🤝
it's more like when you walk away singing it (screaming it) you know it's a hit, that melody lingers like the warmth of a fire gone cold
This song still resonate I
Why thank you 😌
This ain't gonna get old
My son needs to hear this song- this is how i feel exactly. I want to protect him from the unclean
Music is one of the closest things we can get to a time machine. Brings you back to a moment like it was yesterday. Great, good, bad, and ugly times.
Absolutely correct!
Beautiful insight in this statement!
Brings back my college days. Came out with the movie man apart with Vin diesel. Some of the best times ever in life. 2003 was a great year to be 21.
I've always thought that as well. It's like wonderful, heartbreaking, fun moments for a lifetime you can go back to remember.
This song reminds me of my son who I love with all my heart and always will. It's hard to believe that he will be 20 years old this coming March the 4th and he is serving his country so I'm very proud of him and hope he keeps the good work up. Love you always and forever your father.

This song / video is absolutely the most emotional song done by a band and done so effectively...
Yep
That intro!!! This song is perfect!
Going through my custody battle, was absolute hell. Knowing that Wes was trying to inrove relationships with his sons mom means more than people realize. This song perfectly describes everything I feel for my son. When he is with his mom, I find my self walking around the house for no reason cause I do that when my son is with me. I miss him every day hes nt with me. For all the dads going through custody battles, DONT GIVE UP!!! I, a 24 year old single father, won full custody of my son. Dont give up, cause you have little eyes on you at ALL times!!

it's always playing in my head somewhere, the guitar riff, the bass, the ryhmes, and that lyric, "you could be my someone..." so smooth, so real.
This is one of the rarest rock songs that stress on being a family. One of my favorites.
Yep.

The worst thing one parent can do is verbally destroy the others' character and prevent that child from seeing the "other."
That’s what my ex does everytime we fight he says o u can’t c the kids
hmmm. Pretty sure the "worst" thing involves needle nose pliers and jumper cables
My ex husband took my two boys and I haven’t seen it talked to them in over 10 years so yeah

It can cause one if not more hearts to ache because that cause hurt and pain
This song is SPECIAL and is the song of my oldest daughter and me.
Long, long story ...
One of the best rock songs - or any songs- written in the last 20 years. The hooks, guitar riffs, driving drums and pounding bass, combined with Wes’ powerful vocals - makes this just such a dynamic punch in the gut. The lyrics and the harmonics bring it to the next level. What’s even better is their hustle - Wes passed the demo tape to Fred Durst at a Limp Bizkit show and he signed them soon after. Sad to see what happened to Wes thereafter - pray he can make a recovery and we can see them on the road again. Truly a remarkable band.
I did sound for this awesome band one night in Reno, NV not too long ago. They were ALL a pleasure (yes, all) to work with and it was a fun day of laughing about life and such with them. That show that I had the privilege to mix was, IMHO, one of their somewhat rare awesome nights where they were ON in every way and the sold-out crowd loved it. So glad I got the chance to work with them. Good times.
Christopher Racine that is cool, remember that forever
Christopher Racine 👍🏻 that’s awesome!
I was supposed to see these guys play live a while back but wes scantlin never showed up, met him an hour and a half later piss drunk in the strip club lmao
DemonBull88 sorry to hear that , that would suck him not singing 😔 .
Who cares!
I've done for many well-known bands but I'm not trying to impress anybody with name dropping. I was just pointing out how great it was to work with Puddle of Mudd that day in Reno, NV at the Rockbar Theater. Wes, yes Wes, arrived early that day though he didn't do sound check but I knew he wouldn't be there when the show was booked. It was a cool day hanging with all the band which, for the most part, I had met that day. I know Dave, the rockin' drummer, who I've had the pleasure to work with in other bands he plays with. This Puddle of Mudd show is one of my favorite shows I've ever mixed. Have a great day.
Who is here in 2024?
This song is so heartfelt and sentimental to me. Im crying just writing this.
Here I am...
Yo, abril 2024 🎉🎉
I am

I'm here on my b-day! 61 y/o. Great song! Miss those years - '70's music!
we made it bro
When I married my wife and our four awesome kids' mother in 1985, we made a commitment that no matter what, we would power through ANY and ALL adversities and stay together for our kids! We honored that commitment. And we sure did have some adversities! FOur awesome and successful kids later with five grandkids, I could not be more proud! Stay together for your children, people! If for no other reason, stick it out for your babies! They deserve it, and you BOTH owe that to them!
I am 60 married 41 years we both have always loved POM! Wes is an awesome singer and actor🎉 Yes, this really paints a very true picture of how break ups with kids involved is very painstaking😢
Timeless song with an incredible message.
Father's day is gonna be difficult this year.
I love you dad, I miss you everyday...
Redneck Cast much love to all the fathers that were there for us
I know how you feel!
Corprus Games for you too.
Hug your dads. Please I beg u
I know your pain bro.
Chin up.
Not only did i give my service, my memory was taken. Weird when your singing to kids who your scared to hurt
This song makes me think of my mother who passed when I was 19. I always tear up from this song. I miss her so much. 7 years has passed and it still feels like yesterday. RIP mom... thinking about you. ❤
I know the feeling I lost my mom in January this year at 3 am the morning after my birthday. I spent my whole birthday in the hospital with her praying she would make it through the day and I got the call right after i went to bed. R.I.P Mom I love u 💯
Damn Tasha condolences darlin'...Wherever you Ma is she loves ya Tasha remember that... Never Forget~But she lives on in you!!! Keep your head up sweet heart!!!
You are a part of her. My condolences, hun.
My mom is dying right now
How did you cope? My emotions are fluctuating so overwhelmingly.
I miss these men. This is music from the heart.
Men like this still exist. We're just rare and popular culture isn't doing much to promote men like this.
@@Sweetness71775 Preach 🙌
@Ashley Lavergne If you hear a man call another man "brother" chances are you've found one. A man who can be a brother is a man who can be a husband and a father.
Kelly you're awesome just like these awesome people listening to this coz you love original awesome music like this! Cheers!
Sad music nowadays is crap. So much squealing and mumbling without spreading good messages. Ugh.
This was my favorite song as a kid my parents got divorced and i remember watching the music video to this when i was little and it looked like it told the same story. Funny thing is my dad just talked to me the other day when it came on the radio and said every time it comes on he thinks about that time and i told him i told him that i felt the same way about it. This song means a lot to me and him i just had no idea he felt the same way i did. So now i cant stop listening to it.
Same here song came out when my kids were splitting up. I remember Being in middle school. It would come out every morning as I got ready for school. Really tough time for me.
Why divorce rate is highest in US
@@ritom88 major reason is men want sluts, bitches want cash

To understand this level of hurt, you have to have gone through. I went through what most dads go through as a mother.
It's so funny how songs like this can take your mind back to when you first heard it. Still a beautiful song til this day.
+Jan Talamantes I remember listening to this song! Hearing the top 10 songs throughout the year... And listening to blurry my Puddle of Mudd... And thinking this is the end of the progressive grunge era! After that Korn, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, Stereophonics, Cage the Elephant, Deaftones, Linkin Park, Has pretty much control the rock industry! With pretty decent music!
Rock in general is a dead genre now...it's sad.
Devine Wynder The groups that play (awesome) (rock )now!! Are just not overrated by the media!?!
Devine Wynder this is one of 3 of my favorite songs of all time including THIS ONE and DUCK AND RUN by 3 doors down and NUMB by Linkin Park
takes you back to that special place
This song is part of my history. Crazy to go back and finally see the tribute to Fatherhood, now that I struggle with the challenges of fatherhood myself. Thank you.
I never struggled with the challenges. When my first wife got pregnant on our honeymoon, it just changed my way of thinking. After our divorce, I even had to take custody from her because she was a raging alcoholic. I took my daughter everywhere and did a lot of things. My friends still say they never thought I had it in me. I did.
@@425HPthat's great that you stepped up like that, not every father could (and would)!
My kids were 4 and 5 when this was released. I remember thinking I could never take them away from their father. We went through some shit, but we stuck it out for them, and now we’re married 27 years and still happy. Both of them are grown, educated, well-adjusted, great human beings. I partially credit this song for helping me understand what a mistake it would’ve been to split my family up.
You have a right to happiness too and love’s capacity for forgiveness and understanding are unending. Anyone who loves you would understand your reasons and hear you thoroughly. :)
GOD BLESS YOUAND YOUR HUSBAND
Good for you
RESPECT! 👍🍻
It would be awesome if all women would understand what family means
I've always been here 😊
This song brought me to my senses and saved my marriage. I will always have a place in my heart for this one.
Amen 🎼🙏🙏🙏🎼😇💌🥰💯🕊🍃🌷🍃🌷🍃🌷🍃🕊

this comment giving me life and hope. God bless you and your family
Glad you did. I was too late to save mine.. I hope yours is still going strong brother.
The pain a father feels when his son is taken away from him and he can't be there for him as much as he wants. I know exactly how it feels. I miss you my boy, Micah.. I cherish every moment we spend even though it's just a little.
same goes for a daughter, shit hurts just as bad
hope you Will see him soon
Blame yourself. You most likely did not respected the mother.

Stay strong brother ✊🏽
This song so solidifies when Me and Jenn had our FIRST set of twins. Tears when I hear this. Best year ever. ROCK ON!

All they want is love... continue doing the right thing !!!
One of my favorite albums of the 2000's. Saved me from insanity and set me back on the ground. Blowing up music!
Lyrics:
Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Preoccupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble, then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doin'
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
Everyone is changing
There's no one left that's real
So make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble, then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Oh
Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you when to run away
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you when to run away
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
No!
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all?
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Thank you for the lirycs

End of 2023
April 2024 now.... Went through a divorce back in 2011.... My son just moved back here by me.... God this song speaks to me --- THANK YOU PUDDLE OF MUDD... you guys really rock
Im opening for these guys on october 1st
For YEARS, I couldn't remember the name of this song. I knew the melody but couldn't remember the name or the artist. It drove me up the wall. Finally I found the song and realized it was Puddle of Mudd. Turns out all that time, my friend actually toured with them. Funny, thing, if I would have sung it for him, he still probably wouldn't have recognized it anyway.
PercusserAgentK37 he'll yeah
Incredible song. I don’t comment alot, but a friends daughter likes nostalgia and I share things with her; (hippie days). She helps me with understanding current lyrics and songs she likes. We played this song today and it reminded me of my late husband’s children who he had custody of. Their mother was an alcoholic at the time, and we all struggled as a family to have the kids lead a normal life. I remember they packed their bags after an argument with their dad and I and called their mom saying they wanted to be with her. I never felt so defeated, but she never came to pick them up and they were devastated. We all had a talk and smoothed things over, but seeing their faces that night and listening to their cries throughout the night was horrible. I swore I would never hurt them in that way. Years forward and being an older lady, my son has always been there for me. He always calls to remind me that if I need anything, he’ll be there. My daughter reunited with her biological mother and wants to mend things; I understand. Life is harsh sometimes, but that’s life. My “little companion” helps me with evaluating lyrics and says I’m like an old wizard, and I’ll make it. Lol
That harmonic riff sets such an amazing tone for this song. 2018 and I keep coming back for more of it.
I cry every time I listen to this song. My son is my whole world, I'm not with his mother but we both put him first no matter, hes in my life every weekend. I'm so grateful for that
amen
Hey, I get it, I do. You have a failed marriage. And a child was the fruits of your labours, ( as sorts..) But man, I had better not be paying for your fuckin kid, I'm tired of us tax payers paying for your fuckin.. means by your failed marriage..certainly not the child, but even yet do the same, you and the bitch you laid with, made this kid, You and her need to pay for it, not me.
That's great parenting! Marriage doesn't last, but your child will be your child and is a responsibility you can't back out of. Good luck to you guys keeping your interaction stable for your kid!

Daniel Davis sorry for your loss.
thanks it happened on December 17th of this past year eight days before Christmas
i like this song alot. i know when i seen the video i broke down into tears because my wife had just left and taken my daughter without any word of why or a reason. didnt see my kid for 2 monhs , nothin. then the divorce. only answer i got was she was "bored of me". but yeah , this video still makes me cry because even after all thsi time its still raw.
sorry to hear that, DM me
Chirrut Imwe sorry too hear that but you will come out better on the other side I had my gf of 17 years do that
Chirrut Imwe May Allah make it easy for you and keep you and your child happily united brother
Chirrut Imwe I'm sorry
Chirrut Imwe....I'm sooooooooooo sorry that happen! I hope you got see your daughter since this post. women often forget it takes 2 to make a baby meaning she's half yours. well wishes and good luck@
Being a teenager moving away from everyone listening to this had one meaning.
Fast forward to now when I have kids and this song has a whole next level of meaning.
The nostalgia mixed with the emotional lyrics and tone, it's hard, actually really hard, to listen to, but it's a classic!
As a child who was abducted by a parent to a father hoping to give his child a better life this song always brings tears to my eyes.
Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to the first time I saw this video during the summer of 2002. My family was on vacation in Hawaii, and we were eating at the Hard Rock Cafe in Kona when this video came on, and I was 8 years old and my brother was 6, and it just leaves a really good memory for me of when me and my brother were younger during much simpler times, and it just makes me happy for some reason.
Justin Knust i just learned this song acoustic and i play it to my son
This isn't the original video do u know why they changed the video
Justin Knust awesome
Take me to church
Its good when songs do that some people call it nostalgic idk how its spelled but yeah
so many little boys need their dad ...it's just like a national tragedy ...
Wow really
Yes, really.
Haven't got to see my kid in almost 5 months. That's the longest my son and I haven't been together since he was born. But for sure plenty of strange men have been with my son trying to act like Daddy. It is a tragedy.
Only death could keep me away from my son.
In a ideal world thats how it should be.
Both parants but sadly as a one parant.
Life does not end in fairy tales .
I've cried over this song and always in my heart.Puddle of Mudd..You helped me get through .
Love you Brother, Love , Love Yall
one of P.O.M best songs ever. bring this style of rock music back gen y don't know what music is today! fact
Jason C not entirely true. I'm Gen Y (specifically 2001) and I love listening to 70's-early 2000's songs
Its 2024 and I'm still listening to this awesome song!
"CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAAAAAYYYYY". I ask God that every single day.
God isnt real
Adam troll lol
Sometimes I do too. I just give it all up to Him.. I'm not strong enough to carry it myself- but no one really is strong enough, just God.
@Air Gorden That's true. Sometimes I don't even ask Him to change my situation- since He knows better than I do what I need- but I ask for the strength, courage, and faith to get through it and/or change things myself.
Bro, call me. I’ll finish you right now!
when i with his.. and when my dad sang this first it reminded of good times we had , and he had my back .. in the groove ..and at ozzfest they were probably there ... go dad and pomudd ...ss ...
were there girls there 2...?? i think soo ...l lol ..
grew up listening to these guys, they really can play.
So beautiful that so many years later I still love this song.
I remember this being on one of my brothers Madden games back in the 2000s. I always loved this song, but never payed attention to the words until now...
This is why fathers MATTER
I haven't seen my one and only son since Dec 2023, this was awesome song and now I found out its about it is wrapped around my heart rock balladfor me. I don't know much else about this group.
I used to cry and sing this song at the same time.....thinking that my daughter would never love me because of the corrupted thoughts her father bred into her. After YEARS, she came around and we have corrected the wrongs. For all of the single parents out there......LOVE will get you through the hard times. I never thought it was possible, but it happened. BELIEVE in LOVE.
Im going through that now with my ex,
Sunny Stroud God is love.
Keep it simple and smile it up.
You were given the chance, she came around...
Imagine all those that didn't get to experience that.
Tristan Lewis ... so am I. Just hang in there.. my daughter just turned 3 and hasn't seen me since she was almost 2..been over a year and it kills me she's not gonna remember me because of her selfish mother. I hurt everyday, but just listening to old songs like this really helps
her father didnt make her not love you....only you can do that....if YOU seriously love someone they will know it and feel it....nothing anyone can say to change that..."oceans in between us , but thats not very far"....guess you dont even relate to the songs subject........#man-hater.
you need help scumbag

In 2001 I was 3 yrs haha but I listened to this years later in 2007 I think. I'm 20 now so nostalgic
How I miss the 00's 😢 that time still had nice rock bands and not to mention the movies, tv shows😍😢. Was not a long time ago but everything was so different and still had a little bit of the 90's so glad I lived my childhood in that era
@@y_0886 i was 6 but didn't get into them until I was 14 (well I'm not a big fan but dig a few tracks) I use to listen to alternative rock stations when I was 12 (somehow they didn't play them) got into classic rock at 14 a classic rock/modern rock station would play psycho then I heard Blurry and Control on KCAL rocks during high school oh the nostalgia (I'm 24 now ☺) miss my high school days
Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it my face
