- MY FATHER DOES NOT CARE. I’ve been doing this in the middle of my set for the whole Good Parts Tour. At the end of the night one of the most asked questions has been where people can get it so I went and shot it. So fun diving into a new art form. More poetry to come. Share with your dad or someone it makes you think of.
My father does not care.
In the same way my wife’s eyes glaze over on NFL Game Day
He does not care
Like talking stocks with 6 year old children
It’s not that they don’t wanna listen
It’s that they don’t care
Like a butcher at a vegan farmer’s market
A sober man at an Irish bar
Like me at your escape room birthday party
He does not care
I called my dad when I got my first record deal
And I was very excited
Lots of emotions and feelings
I said, “Dad, I made it and the check is pretty big”
I said, “Dad, you’re gonna have a very successful kid”
I said, “I’m gonna buy a house,
I’m gonna by you one too
With a gate and the clickers and the big open rooms”
I said, “dad don’t you worry,
This is just the beginning
The tables are tipping
We’re finally winning”
He responded like
Like my 85 year old grandma completely unamused
With an iPhone in her hand like
What does this even do?
Like an American at a cricket match - confused
He said, “Son that’s fantastic
I’m so happy for you”
You see my father does not care about anything but my heart
He knows that wealth and worth have always been super far apart
And when I showed him my BMW had the new push start
He faked enthusiasm terribly
Like, “yeah, great car”
My father’s eyes light up when I talk about my soul
He wants details of every kid I sang to at the hospital
We can talk for hours about anything I’ve ever done for the homeless
And when my prayer game is strong and I am centered, he notices
See the thing about sons, we just wanna make our dads proud
We know the songs they like and then we sing those extra loud
And I’m pretty clear about how to get my father’s attention now
Be of service to myself or to others - that’s how
Now someday I might be massive with my face up in Times Square
When I fly, only fly private, lie flat through the air
Someday I might become a bajillion gazillionaire
The best part is -
My father does not care

I had the privilege of meeting your dad about 10 years ago. I was a principal in a tiny school in a small city in Wisconsin, about two hours from his alma mater, Beloit College. He came and worked with the students during the day and had a concert for the school community at night. Because I was his chauffeur during his stay, we had several opportunities to chat about kids in today’s world. We are both the same age and had kids the same ages, so there was a connecting point. Anyway, fast forward to today and I came across the video with PS 22 chorus. And I got teary-eyed. When my husband, a retired music teacher, asked if this singer was the son of the children’s singer on the CD’s I got about 10 years ago.......oh, my goodness! Wish your dad my best. He certainly inspired me, the staff, and the parents in my little school with his message of peace and love.
Knowing your father.......this is so true. He is so proud of you. Not because you have "success" but because of what you do with it. He is proud of the person you are and the father that you are to sweet Louie. Thank you for sharing this.
I hope you always have the best we love your outlook on life you are a true motivator we truly appreciate you I'm glad to know they're still good people as yourself longing for better Days in such a sad crazy place fan / family always 👊🦁👍
This is something else, and I’ve been craving something else; artists with a message and deep set morals. Not these posers with made up names and over edited voices- this is why I think Andy Grammar and those like him deserve so much. His music alone makes me instantly happy every time I hear a song of his, but the happiness he gets from his effect on ppl as a musician and those closest to him makes me even happier. A real musician and role model, I wish you all the luck in the world Andy.
Sono d'accordo con tutte le tue parole! Grande artista vero artista! 🥰 Da Italia.
Having met your father more than once, serving children in concerts, I can see his smile and joy with all you do and say. Bless you and your amazing father, Red, and mother Kathy.
I've been a fan of your father since 1981. We tend to put our idols on a pedestal, but I always hoped he was as kind as his stage persona and warm smile made him seem. After all these years, I feel I now have some vindication that if I'd met him, I would not have been disappointed.
....and that's pretty cool.
Damn the feeling are too real
Crap, I didn't expect it to end up like that. Made me smile
DAD WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO SHOW HE CARES
yo how he drop that one song 4 years ago then the world dropped this man
Wow!!!! Humbling and Powerful at the same time.
Andy, so can I call you brother? Do we share the same Father? Your description of Him is oh so familiar! Mad love for you and your talents!!!!
Hope to see your Dad in one of you videos - what a great man, your father, for raising you to be an even better man - cheers from Canada
I met Red Grammer when I was seven. He was so nice.
His father is the famous childrens sing Red Grammer.... "i think your wonderful" song explains it all :) !!!
What an an AMAZING tribute to your father! I have had the please
pleasure of communicating with him and I am so impressed with both of you and your music!!!God bless you both!!
Finally! YES!! Heard this live in Detroit and searched. Love it! (And that butcher line gave you no trouble! ;) )
Love it! Love is all that matters. Money don't! You are a poet!
I saw andy perform this poem live in Chicago at the house of blues earlier this year 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Andy, my son and I have a "complicated" relationship for many reasons. I just sent him a link to this in the hopes he will see from another son's point of view, why we are so "complicated" and see that I love him and am so very very proud of the man he has become.
Andy, I speak so highly of you so often. You still deserve it.
Amen bro! Reminded me of my earthly and Heavenly Father. Praise God.👌🙏🙌
Same!
I remember this giving me a total gutpunch in Toronto. Such a beautiful poem!
That is very true about Andy Grammer's father. He just cares about his son's 💓
I just love this guy more and more! He has been my favorite artist for at least 6 years now. I even saw him at this tiny little FREE concert in my hometown in Oregon. It was the best day! He is so awesome and real.
Makes a lot of sense, having met your dad! :)
❤I love to hear about your family and your life. I always wondered about your Dad.
The best legacy and inheritance is a beautiful heart...not monitory wealth. Your family is truly wealthy.
I love this; the rhythm and the way you put it forth are awesome. I love the message, too; it reminds me of pieces by Jeff Bethke and Jon Jorgenson. Much love!
I've met your father, and can totally see him responding that way. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
Continued Blessings and Joy!
And here’s to your dad... ❤️🙏🏽❤️😎
Great Job Andy and Sooo True, Thank You for Sharing!!
This is beautiful. My heart will stay full today.
I. Love. This.
A lot of people who see this might not even know your Dad is a music celebrity in his own right, which makes your poem even more meaningful.
My son (who was elementary age at the time) and I interviewed your Dad on our community radio show, I don't know, maybe 15 years ago. He seemed like a lovely man-and so do you. I am a fan of both of you and your (respective) music.
Seeing you perform this poem live with your dad being in the audience was breathtaking!
I remember your dad singing to us at North Main Elementary School. That was probably 30 years ago, but I remember it so well.
This is an amazing Poem!😊
Absolutely love this! Teach children to feed their souls instead of their wallets.
Omg I remember this when I went to your good parts concert I was in love with it Andy you do have a good personality and do not let anyone tell you anything otherwise like the great Andy Grammar says “ you got to keep your head up but you can let your hair down!”😊
Oh I did not know that I am sorry thanks for the heads up
Oh. My. Gosh. This is the worst, and the best, and the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Absolutely not what I was expecting. Thanks so much for this.
seen him perform this in concert. And it made my bawl my eyes out. And this video does too. This is what’s important in life. ❤️Very well written Andy.
Diving into Spoken Word, I see? I like it.
Ugh my heart, this is so freaking beautiful 💝💝💝
I miss you Andy I love you love Isaac
Preach!
This took a turn. Wasn't expecting it.
Thank you!
Chills... I got chills
i was there for the first time you did it in nyc 😁👏👏👏
I loved hearing this at your concert, so I'm so happy to have a recorded version!!
A damn genius. Keep it up, Andy.
omg im crying
This is why we love you, Andy. My sons grew up without their Dad, and their incredible stepfather is this guy for them. Your music filled that gap for them, and I encouraged them in their love for you because your heart is this real. Bless you and your darling family. Louie and Aijia are as blessed by you as you are by them, I’m sure. 💕 We can’t wait to take them to their first concert at WSU to see you as they say IRL. 💕
This is so good
damn Andy got barz 🔥🔥
AWSOME ❤️
What a wonderful gift you have
Beautiful! ❤can't wait to see you 11/10!
In case you don't know, his father is Red Grammer, A famous children’s singer and songwriter. And I believe every word of this poem. I love both of them! Check out his music if you haven’t heard it before. It’s amazing!
This is beautiful. I don't even have a father. So my father doesn't care anymore I guess. Not even abouyt my soul or heart. I haven't spoken to him in maybe 3 years now and that breaks my heart. My father doesn't care.
Lovin' it, Andy. Stay strong.
I met his dad lmao
Wow just.... wow👍
The difference between a “dad” and “Father” is care. Any Dads seeing this, just try.
I... I love you. Not in a weird celeb-crush way, but you’re so talented and inspiring and have great messages to share with the world. I love you for that. Can we have nothing but that? It’s beautiful. It’s inspiring. It’s tiring that we have so many false faces, goin’ to places that are beyond us. I want more people like you. I want more people to give us something inspiring and heartfelt. I want more people to speak out about what you should hold dear, what you should value. Please stay here, and keep speaking for your voice is truly beautiful~
Thank you!!
Keep it up!
Wholesome
Wow. So good.
Amazing💜👍🏻😍
👊🦁🤜💥🤛🦁👍
But, I do really care about you..❤️
💕❤️
I wasn’t much interested in Andy grammar. Now I am.
He told this very poem when he visited manila :)
And I thought artists can't branch into poetry. Another boundary broken by Andy!
Keep on Pushing, Andy!
We can say that I've finally found my Halellujah as well! (I can keep going with these puns, but I'm afraid of being charged with suicide. But really, I'm just Holdin' Out here.)
Beautiful, Andy. Thanks for sharing. You should check out Def Poetry series from HBO (Russell Simmons) if you haven’t.
I love you
What just happened to me…shook
my dad doesn't understand ... neither do I
Can I call u dad because I don't have one
😆😏☝

I painted a photo of a beautiful lady and I am 10 and I thought Dad was going to say something like good job or I’m proud of you I get mmmhhm yes not even joking broke my heart 💔 and I thought to myself is this art really that bad but you know my dad never really cared about anything I said if I made him a beautiful photo of our family he just goes yeeeeep I see and I would look on Instagram and other social media places and I would see my friends with their dad’s having a fun time I and I.....never got nothing never even got a I’m proud of you my dad never said that to me ever he just comes home lays down and sleeps wakes up goes to work come home sleep wake up goes to work sad.... and sometimes he acts like he doesn’t even care about us and when he would come home from Stead of getting a hugs and a kiss Stead we get what is this mess this is why we can’t have kids😢 still kind of makes me sad knowing that I grew up like this but I know deep down in my heart he loves me
Not even being a troll rn when I say this...the hair game is not on point. It just ain't flowing right 😂
Beautiful! You're an inspiration Andy Grammer. Keep giving love!
