This song seem to speak to the pain he feels at having to leave his son with the mother and her abusive boyfriend that is probably mistreating his son. Heartbreaking.
so let me correct this , from what i remember , when this song came out , he portrayed himself as the kid as he grew up in abusive home .there is a interview of him talking about the meaning behind it .
This is a very personal song for me too. Been going through the same situation for 6 years now and it never gets easier. This song, and especially the acoustic version makes me tear up and sometimes cry. It's tough being a man and father and divorcing when your child is only three. Fucked up how money or less of it reveals the truth about your partner's "love" for you.
Man this song hits home for me my parents divorced when I was 1 year old and my dad used to play this in the truck all the time when I was with him every other weekend. Never understood the message until later in life now. It’s about separated parents and the lead singers POV and the chorus is the kids POV about it. At least that’s what I got from it. It kills me to hear it now knowing the pain my father felt giving all of his money for child support and Barely ever getting to see me while watching his family grow with somebody else. I love you pops and always will ❤️
@@SQuiD_HiMSeLF listen i don't have kids so maybe i shouldn't be speaking on this ... But being a kid with separated parents ever since I was a year old, when you do have your daughter with you, be present. Sometimes people are just... there. But they aren't really present if that makes any sense.
@@SQuiD_HiMSeLF fight for more time. she will grow a part from you after so many years. coming from experience ever since my dad divorced my mom our relationship was never the same afterwards. My dad was probably my best friend up until they divorced. He was there for me at times but our relationship grew apart simply because of time. In my opinion he didn't try his best. If you try your best your daughter will see that and it will not affect her.
Love this song!!! Thank you for your reaction, you get it. And thank you for being open minded. We all bleed red and have more in common than differences.
This brought such a human side to Puddle of Mudd with all the songs about partying and drugs. If I remember correctly it’s a long story but he basically got divorced and lost custody of his son and wrote this song for him.
I'm right there with you brother. I've seen so many messed up things in this world, horrible things that nobody should ever have to see. And I realized that the only way to make this world a better place was to spread kindness and joy to as many as I can. It's a struggle for me because I have PTSD and don't like to be around a lot of people, especially crowds. But I'm working on that. I want this world to be a better place for my kids, a safe place for all children. My greatest wish is that nobody ever had to go to war again, that humanity could find a common love for each other. I pray that the day will come when murder and war were things of the past that nobody has to worry about anymore. That being said, I also know the darkest side of humanity that prevents us from reaching that day. Fear, greed, and envy will keep us from ever seeing that day. But it is nice to have hope.
Music comes from and speaks to your soul. I don’t think I would have survived this long in my life without the power of music. I like what you have to say and your message. Music can bring people together
Music connects us all!!! I am so happy you are loving rock! I also take people as they are, if you are kind to me, I am kind to them. We should all live like that.
Van, I’ve grown to love you and your family so much. You’re such a good person, and I just love the spirit within you and the energy you project back into the world❤️
Bro!! I’m feeling you. I get that you get it!! I can see it on your face. This song did the same thing to me years ago. It touches your soul - and changes how you feel about the world and toward our fellow brothers and sisters!!
I love that you stop the music and talk about it. That's what we should all be here for, right? We all can just go listen to music ourselves, uninterrupted. It's the voice of the reactor, their opinions, their interaction with the new that I'm here for. =)
First off, love this song. Hate the ex’s boyfriend. I’ve always told former boyfriends that I’m a package deal. If your not down with that, then your not for me. I never put my children in a situation like that. Even my daughters father, after we split we got along for her. She’s 28 now and her father and I still get along. I know not everyone can do that. This song makes me remember in the beginning my daughter and her ex boyfriend fighting all the time. I worried about my grandson. Now they all get along and my grandson is happy. This song use to make me cry. Family is a wonderful thing and you have to cherish it. Much love ❤️
You are a good man and I can tell just by listening to you that your a great dad, don't stop pausing because I enjoy getting to know you through your rants and conversations. Keep doing you.
No, I appreciate your thoughts. Keep going! This song I've always loves because its about a dad who's trying to protect his son from his mom's new abusive boyfriend. Can't tell you how many times I've seen people allow a new boyfriend or girlfriend discipline their kids when they have no business doing so. I was a single mom of 3 ... and I stayed single for ages and never let anyone stick their nose in my business where my kids were concerned and it's something I'm proud of to this day. I'm a grandmother now. It always sickened me to watch this happen. Thank you for your REACTION...its always welcomed 😊
Love this song and this band. My favorite song is Spin You Around... actually broke my tailbone dancing to that song so believe, will never forget that song lol. Thanks for this song .
I don't understand why people would say "just play the music"...the whole point of a REACTION is to hear the reactor's thoughts and opinions... Otherwise go to the official video instead.
Because we like sharing our great music with someone who wants to know it. Reacting doesn't mean every 10 seconds. It means listen to it, comment at the end, like movie critics do,. If you want a friend to hear a song you like, you want to share it would you turn it off and talk all through it, all ask your friend what they thought of it. You can react by saying , wow, I like this, smile thumbs up,Bob your head, over the music. I have to keep it turned down because of the up and down stopping and going. Yeah we've seen the video , we like reactors because we get enjoyment sharing it. We like the surprise of them liking it. We can see, it messes up the whole experience They , and you don't get that reacting is for the end , cuss we're jamming too it's just an extra benefit to turn someone on to it. Your friend would get pissed if you turned the music off. Either talk or turn the radio off
@@gaylemitchell5881 i watch a reactor to get new insights into the songs, and i appreciate getting those insights as they come up, not at the end in a boring list... go watch the official video on your own and stop trying to ruin this amazingly great channel.
@@selectronium I have,just checking in to see if he's slowed down on the stops.I used to enjoy his channel. I watch all sorts of Reactors if you didn't comprehend what I said, I can't help you with that . He knows it's rediculous! It's fine to comment briefly. I don't find a summary boring.
@@gaylemitchell5881 you really don't understand...? you are dismissing his super informative reacts despite his overwhelming popularity? it looks like you might be the only one around here who has that opinion. how about you just make your own reaction channel if you want, and lay off this VERY SUCCESSFUL reactor.
You are absolutely right we truly are all the same. If we would only ignore the stereotypes and explore each others cultures,music, hobbies all the walls could come down.
OK Mushy, we do too ;) And we like the rants too... You're right. Sharing the music shows us how much we are alike at the end of the day. Music is a universal language.
i like to hear you talk. i need to hear peopple talk who still have a soul. im sorry i think im depressed. i come home from work everyday and just cry..
Sorry to hear this. I watch Blue Bus Dave everyday, he puts out videos daily and talks to people as he looks for flea market treasures. Hope things improve !
We're all connected. We have just been blind to it for so long. But we're all connected on some level, a level most of us in this current time don't completely comprehend. The sooner we all realize this, the sooner we stop hurting each other = ourselves. PEACE.
This is the most real and inspirational reaction videos I ever seen of yours. Much respect and love my brother. 👐😎 We as a people are far more alike and loving than the race baiting, virtue signalling democrats or their divisive propoganda media will ever admit, give us credit for, or dare celebrate in... 🙏 🇺🇸 It's not at all about race or the color of one's skin; but about the content of a person's character -- that matters most of all. Continue to Rock on! 🎸 🎵🎶🎼🎶
I am commenting before you react, 54 yrs old and I love this song. I think you will too, it's different. If not then all the reactions I've watched I have learned nothing about Van.
I ready love what you said about being open hearted and open minded with people. Great reaction to this song, its always interesting seeing the different places music can take your mind to.
This song was one of my favorites as a kid cause I listened to rock and alt at a young age (thanks mom lol ) but as my pre teens hit and realizing how my life was and being open to reality at 11 with my parents divorce and how fucked up people really are and this song would be my escape whenever my mom would help me with my pain from my dad (he didn't beat me but he left a lot of mental and emotional trauma) she is and always will be the both parents of my life she did everything right even when I acted like a rebellious lil shit listen to your parents kids okay and now I'm living a better life with my lil sisters and brother and my step dad and mom but there are a lot of alt rock songs and rock that help us relate to life and get us through some tough shit but this one just holds a special place with me
Im late...went back to this cuz im a 90s kid one of em first songs i burnt in a cd along wit some hiphop rap legend songs from tupac,dre,eminem...glad u reviewed this one ...cheeers bruh.🎉
He secretly hit rewind and cranked it up even louder! Very well spoken dude, I'm 61 and my neighbors hear my garage blasting tunes, it could be Jewel, 50 cent, even some country, but I love ROCK. Music is life and spirit. You'd love a lot of different stuff venture out there, you'd love Incubus the bands are endless, when they get on point like you just did. You ain't rantin'

That's a good example as a father figure and a mentor to brighten a childs path in life
Check out their song “She F...ing Hates Me”. It’s pretty good, too.
I know some women I could dedicate that one too
uncensored
@@pmaster1173 is there an uncensored version of the music video tho? A lot of the stuff back then was always censored because it was designed for tv.
i found a one whit video www.pinkbike.com/video/173244/

Do you have a good relationship with your dad? I only get my daughter ever other weekend and I'm scared to death she's gonna grow away from me.

Wow thats deep.. I hope u and yr Pops are still close and sorry for that rough time, but that's awesome he even cared dude.. God bless u guys! ❤️
The more you live..the more you realise we are all the same. Amen my man.
Man, that’s the best thing I’ve heard in awhile. “ I have no hate in my heart but I’m always on defense.” FACTS!!!
I lived this song. Eats at me everytime I hear it
Music, no matter the genre, is universal. Good music will grab you whether it's rap, rock, hip hop, country, or polka.
Love this song!!! Thank you for your reaction, you get it. And thank you for being open minded. We all bleed red and have more in common than differences.
It's hard to believe this song is almost 20 years old.
Lies... all Lies.... that would make me... uh... LIES ! haha
OH GOD....I was in college when this came out 😟
I would've been about 36 and I still love this song
I still love this song so much and I’m 50. Can’t believe it’s that old either!
This hits extra hard when you`ve been both the kid and the parent.
This one hits hard family.
We are all the same. Love our kids, love music, survive....Unidy
This brought such a human side to Puddle of Mudd with all the songs about partying and drugs. If I remember correctly it’s a long story but he basically got divorced and lost custody of his son and wrote this song for him.
Yup, you nailed it
Yes she took off to another country and he saw his kid even less
God Bless you for this one.

Man...when this song came on the radio..."Can you take it all away?" I choke up over the words everytime! Keep looking for the best in folks!
This song brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Much love, Van.
AMEN...WE ARE ALL BROTHERS & SISTERS UNITED BY GOD ABOVE ☮️✌️🕊️
The post grunge rock decade was so so good.
We are love, no matter what the outside looks likes.
Families the number one thing in life that is important whoever your family is to you family is always number one
He loved the song so much he started talking in 3rd person.
Music comes from and speaks to your soul. I don’t think I would have survived this long in my life without the power of music. I like what you have to say and your message. Music can bring people together
Once upon a time a man asked a beautiful woman to marry him.
She said, "No."
And he lived happily ever after.
Music connects us all!!! I am so happy you are loving rock! I also take people as they are, if you are kind to me, I am kind to them. We should all live like that.
“I know it’s in you cause it’s in me and I’m just like you”, freaking loved that
I felt the same way in 1990... Now rock and rap is 50/50 to me... Love both
Thank you for being real! Love this song!
This song reminds me of off reading with my brother before he passed away. Smiles and good times
Rock is and has been my favorite genre of music forever.
Van, I’ve grown to love you and your family so much. You’re such a good person, and I just love the spirit within you and the energy you project back into the world❤️
This song hits hard being a father. Recently I can only see my son every other weekend, a part of me feels empty when I'm not with my son.
I'm glad u reacted to this so.
This song is so good. From beginning to end.
This is a brilliant tune. POM very underrated. Some class tunes💪🏴🏴👊
