his apologizing for not being in his kids life , like his father wasnt in his life.. i remember watching an interview about this song.. the singers father wasnt around at all in his life , and he held a hate for his dad . But he also felt like he was a hypocrite being a musician and always touring and on the road away from home and he said he was doing the same thing his father did to him, so he wrote this song to his kid
"The Saddest Song" Only two more days, until your birthday Yesterday was mine You'll be turning five I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life So I pretend, I'm doing all I can And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand Why I'm not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all maybe someday you really get to know me not just the letters read to you I pray I get the chance To make it up to you We got a lot of catching up to do So I pretend, I'm doing all I can And hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand Why I'm not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all Forgive me! I'm so sorry! I will make it up to you....
I really do remember waiting for my father to come see me and for us to hang out. To pick me up every once in awhile. I remember waiting for him to give me a call once in a while just to say hi and something, only him saying hi is all I would need. And I come home and he won't be there waiting for me to hug and take me somewhere. Being interested in me is all i want.
At the :49 mark, that's my Uncle Terry's barn on N. Madison ave. just north of Anderson. I spent a large chunk of my childhood playing on that farm and in that barn. It was full of pre-WWII cars. Really cool to randomly find it in a music video.
Smells like highschool days😋 I was then emo that time banging my bangs while playing this song. I even reverse the guitar to imitate hehehe. Such a memories🤟
This was one of my favourite song when I was in highschool, but I didn't expect that this song will be pinch my heart now. I'm thousand miles away from my daughter and she's 4 years old now, the saddest part is from her 1st birthday to her 4th she celebrates it without me. 4 Christmas also without in her side, and she always ask my wife when I was going to go home with her😢😢
I really miss my kids. Both of them live with their mothers in different states and it's tearing me apart. The thing I am best at is being a dad. And I'm missing out on them.
I remember getting this cd on Christmas. Driving home from my aunts house sitting in the back of the dodge caravan holding my Walkman. When we got home I picked up my guitar and decided to take it serious
i feel grateful that i could raise my daughter and see her smile everyday.. i remember this song around 2000 but didnt know the meaning of this song since my lack of english..
This brings me back to Summers sitting in my friends basement and going for walks. Talking about a much simpler world before technology. I know it's a video but the little girl walking herself down the street or looking at the stars. I did that. my friends and I would go to the dug out or in his dads pick up and just drink pop and talk and look at the stars. Nowadays I don't see kids outside as much and if they are they are walking home from school or something. My point is remembering feels like a drug or stepping into another world in my mind. Such warmth and zero stress. This is how we transverse mixed feelings was through music. Great times. Even that blue sky 3:39 looks like blue Skys at the 2003 time. Felt like Time had a filter as nuts as it sounds.
It's 2024, and this song still hits hard.
My cousin died today of cancer. This is his favorite song.
I can still see him crying while listening to this.
I cried too sometimes😭
I’m so sorry 😢
its a beautiful song, Im sorry for your loss
My daughter I haven't see her 5 years ago but I'll see this time to show up that I'm good dad to my daughter.
Forgive me imso sorry. 2024 anyone?
Me, miss this band
Same 😔
Por acá bro 🤚🥹🥹
I miss 2003...
+Abie Ariyo Dandoro i feel the same way, i was in 9th grade when this hit me

my daughter growing up without me Everytime ive watch this video shed some tears
Aww! Kris is such a great father. This song makes me cry. It's very touching how much he loves his daughter. What a guy.

"The Saddest Song"
Only two more days, until your birthday
Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning five
I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand
Why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
maybe someday
you really get to know me
not just the letters read to you
I pray I get the chance
To make it up to you
We got a lot of catching up to do
So I pretend, I'm doing all I can
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand
Why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
Forgive me!
I'm so sorry!
I will make it up to you....
Thx bro
Thank You Buddy... You wrote this song Lyric.. 😉
This is the saddest song.

Antes eramos felizes ouvindo musicas tristes , hoje somos tristes ouvindo musicas felizes...
Melhor comentário sobre esta musica, falou tudo, como era bom, e como é bom ainda poder ouvir esta musica.

Ouvir The Ataris remete a uma fase tão boa da minha vida ❤
Ataris forever ❤
Waoww
Time goes so fast
Now i am 30
Really miss this band !!
i've always known the acoustic version, and i've gotta say both are amazing.
So long astoria the best album ! ❤
At the :49 mark, that's my Uncle Terry's barn on N. Madison ave. just north of Anderson. I spent a large chunk of my childhood playing on that farm and in that barn. It was full of pre-WWII cars. Really cool to randomly find it in a music video.
Chris Nealis lol madison is my name
+Chris Nealis awesome
+Flaming Cat really thats cool Madison
This was when music was still good.
I have a daughter now and this makes me want to spend every moment i can with her. Miss this so much, you guys we're awesome!!
dont know the meaning of the lyrics back then till now when i have to raise my son alone without his dad... and this song just.... hit me so deep 😢
The meaning is basically , his younger years are behind him but his love to his sweetheart is still as strong as it was when they were young together
Aneszy yolanda yeah it really is about his daughter
Aneszy hang in there.
Semangattt
@@arakedikian7483 you're wrong. Lol
Its so sad .....this song! That it is beautiful.
ever time I hear this song I cry for those that have no father. I had an amazing one some days I feel selfish he was so awesome.
Powerful - both musically and lyrically.
Great stuff.
And there is the album version that has acoustic guitars, cello, and piano. This song has 3 version and the 3 are perfectly sad!
just listening to the lyrics,even for me who never had the same experience as a kid shed a tear. it really is a very sad song
I CRIED😭😭😭😭
amazing song 2003
@posicore No that wasn't amazing😕

Every year, I wrap a present and mark the year on the tag then pack it with the others. And with each year, it feels like my soul is being erased.
