Everclear - Father Of Mine
Review by Karen Rice
The album Father of Mine by Everclear is a poignant and emotional journey through the lead singer Art Alexakis' troubled childhood and relationship with his father. The album is a mix of rock, punk and pop with lyrics that are raw and honest.
The title track "Father of Mine" is a standout and tells the story of Alexakis' absentee father and the impact it had on his life. The song is filled with emotion and is a powerful reminder of the importance of a father in a child's life.
Other tracks like "Why I Don't Believe in God" and "Sunflowers" offer a glimpse into Alexakis' struggle with addiction and mental health issues. The lyrics are honest and relatable, making the album a cathartic experience for anyone who has struggled with similar issues.
Musically, the album is solid with catchy hooks and driving guitar riffs. The band's signature sound is present throughout the album, and the production is clean and polished.

Summary by Karen Rice
Comments
This song helped me immensely. Unfortunately, I can relate because the same thing happened to me. When this song came out, it helped me realize that I was not alone. Thank you @Everclear
Am 14 and never met my real dad I found out he will be in prison for the rest of his life so even if I wanted to meet him I couldn’t I talked to him about four times on call and a little off a tablet they gave him but I had my step dad my whole life who I love and was my dad and in 2019 he had a stroke and now he is the baby my mom has to take care of I miss him and now I don’t have the one dad I want
Deep...
Powerful song. Terrible audio. Thumbs down
I grew up with my father in my life even though he tortured me with sabotaging my mom's boyfriend's and later husbands. He would get so mad if I didn't try and destroy my mom's relationships so that he would have a chance to get her back. It made me where I felt I had to lie all the time just to keep it peaceful and not be in a dangerous situation. Unfortunately that made me good at lying. Finally I grew up and he moved on from wanting mom back and met a woman online. He married her a month later and adopted her kids. I went to the military and ended up getting hurt and developed PTSD which I didn't realize until years later. When I got out and finally it looked as if life would be normal with my father his wife caused issues in the family and he up and moved to Hawaii. Literally the furthest place away from my brother sister and I. I haven't talked to him in over 15 yrs and I still to this day don't fully understand why. It has affected me in ways I never would have thought and still don't fully understand. I just know it hurts. I don't really know why because I had a love hate relationship with him. I guess it's because if your own father just up and cuts you out of their life it makes you feel as if you were left outside the walls of civilization as no value. If your own father doesn't love you and could so easily go away then who am I to those who say they love you. He always told me how much he loved us but I don't know if that is even true. It's a pain I don't comprehend. I just know it hurts. I really needed a father figure in my life. Not someone who tortured me so they could possibly get what they want. When that was obvious it wasn't going to happen he says screw it I will just start over with a new family.. I often wonder if I will ever see or talk to him again. He has never met my child or my siblings children. He didn't come to either one of his parents funerals. I don't understand how someone could do that when they said they loved you your whole childhood. Probably why I'm so fucked up now and I don't know what or how to deal. Really wish I woulda had a good dad there when I got medically discharged and was in some of the worst pain mentally and physically I have ever dealt with.
I had to play this song 3 times to share it and get the bottom to not blackout
Sounds like Biden and Hunter along with the dead brother and of course the jacked up sister. Rich people whatever……they just have more
Expensive kink.
Expensive kink.
I see this song as both a warning to those who would abandon their child and those who forget how important their love is to every stage of their child's lives. Never leave and never take for granted being able to love your child.
A birthday card with 5 dollars is better than nothing.
I thought this was a world destroyed. But still with hope of redeeming it through the grace of God. Death really does hurt

Dad has parkingsons
Since 2000
He left me when I was 17 in 1997
Seen him 3 times since
Lives in Thailand
I will never let my son feel the emptiness I felt with him
Mom left when I was 11
Good times

This song cracks me up ?
AVAH of mine tell me where you've been even the heaten wipes my mind you still are here
AVAH gave me a name. OUVEHVAHKHEHEVAH VAH 7/7
AVAH gave me a name. OUVEHVAHKHEHEVAH VAH 7/7
As a devoted father, this song makes me cry every time. To all those dads like me who are standing strong for their kids despite crazy baby mamas, you are heroes. A good dad is the best thing a man can be, a bad dad is the worst. To all those deadbeat dads out there, pray my shadow never crosses yours.
I've noticed growing up all through these years . Men who had their fathers in their lives go on to become happy, successful people.
For example.
Joe Rogans father was an architect.
I know it's not across the board but like 99% of Successful Men had their dad's in their lives and most of those dad's had businesses etc
Those if us who didn't have our dad's. End up as drunks /drug addicts etc
Again not all but......

This sing still brings tears to my eyes. Rip Dad. Ya damn deadbeat. But I will be better inspite of your last name and the shame attached??
Right as I hear this song I get chills
My daddy gave me a name. ?
If this was your life growing up too give me a thumbs up… It wasn’t our fault… everything you feel I feel too and I know exactly what you’re feeling… Anger hate pain revenge bitterness lost confused hurt abandoned miserable empty always feel like somethings missing… This song popped up in my head and I wanted to hear it… Because I haven’t heard it in so long and I’m sitting here in tears because it’s the past. Now 38 years later my father in heaven who was there through everything does everything this song says my dad didn’t do anymore. So if you don’t know the Lord Jesus Just stop what you’re doing and say I give it to you Jesus… Help me to get over this and to be with my Father God in heaven someday. I love you all whoever read’s this. And our Father in heaven loves you above everything..
Truly,
Your Brother-
Truly,
Your Brother-
Every single word of this song I can unfortunately relate. Dads…love ur kids more then you hate ur ex.?
❤ ? ¡I love that song! ? ❤
I can play this song but I have no memories of him, he was never there. My kids will never know that pain.
Very good music
The quality of this is absolutely garbage
i never got my fathers respect i tried so hard but never came i love my dad but all i wanted was those few words i have up now my daughter is 2 y/o i tell her all the time no matter what im proud of you because im the one who invited you to this world to show you how much i love you
i am more than fortunate that my dad stayed around for my mom and sister, if he didn't, it'd just be a burden i wouldn't want them to have to experience. he's here, but he isn't really there, yknow? i just can't understand him. its like he's in his own world, i love him to pieces but i also feel like dying whenever im near him. he's said the absolute worse to my face and has done things a father shouldn't have. he's the source of most of my trauma and just the worst feelings ever. i hate him so much and yet i go back to him for warmth and half-assed validation. just please be a normal dad
It'd the year 2001... 10 year old me comes home from school to find my dad hanging from the rafters in the back room... naturally as a kid 911 is dialed... they saved his life... he's to this day unable to care for himself, he's stuck in 2001... he don't know me anymore...now I'm a grown man, child of my own, 9 years old I found my self the exact same age my dad was when he turns 10... I will never let him know this pain I have known....
A song has never spoken to me like this one...
A song has never spoken to me like this one...
Just found out my father is cheating on my mother, with one of my former friends. What a shitty christmas this is going to be!
