If you’re broken and angry about the way you grew up, be a good parent to your kids. You can’t change your past, but you can change their future.

What a profound and wise message! It reminds me that, although the past may have left scars, we have the power to transform the present and the future for those we love. Being a good father is our chance to rewrite history, giving our children what we may never have had: love, support, and a home full of hope. Their future is our legacy, and we can make it happen

I'm confident John Mayer's aware that, if fathers love their daughters as they should, they won't run into the arms of a loser, or look for the love, that they should've gotten from their fathers, from a boyfriend who can't give them that. Fathers, love your daughters right and they will have healthy relationships.

Hi, just wanted to say me relationship with my dad was awful in my teens, picked up for a couple of years then we basically didn't see each other at all for 12 years til late last year. Now we have a lovely relationship, he's coming today actually. We both said and did a lot of horrible things and the onus was on him when I was just a kid. From 12 to 16 he was physically abusive and verbally and emotionally. I blamed him for the way my life turned out, still kinda do but I also understand he was going through heartbreak after my mam leaving and had no idea how to look after a kid. I love my dad and I'm gutted I've missed so many years, he tried to kill himself in September and its brought us all back together. I hope one day you can make it up with your dad. I had to be the one to make the first move, then he did what he did and we've been close ever since. I doubt he'd have come looking for me though

Powerful statement, so true. "Since the day she saw him walkin' away, now she's left cleaning up the mess he made." "Daughters will love like you do." "Mothers be good to your daughters too." He is saying a lot here. Hard to find a song with more of a message over the last 20 years. A song of substance. John probably went through something with some hurt woman who wounded him as well, he tried through this song, to share something with the world about the wisdom he gained.

John Mayer is one of the most talented musicians of our time. In this day and age, who actually learned the art of music and can play a real instrument? The relationship between a musician and their instrument is one of the most beautiful and sacred there is.. And not to mention the fact John is a beyond exceptional songwriter and composer. He does it all. How many musical acts on the top 100 can say that? Write, sing and play their song exclusively on their own???? Not many. This sort of talent comes once in a blue moon... He'll be a legend someday, just watch.

+quincywho You talk about him like he's some guitar virtuoso... He plays basic chords in a very slow tempo, it's not that difficult haha. Although i must agree that most of top 100 music has very little to do with writing, composing and playing music, but there are amazing musicians out there you just have to dig a little deeper.

+Roel Hovius he doesn't just play slow tempo ballads. I just saw him on tour with the grateful dead and I was blown away by his guitar skills and even his singing voice. He even says that he wants to stray away from this mainstream pop music because it's so easy for him to write/play these songs. there are definitely guitar legends that he will never rank among, but for his generation he is definitely one of the best.

This song finally made sense yesterday. My daughter and I are the same. We love with passion, and are cold and callous when we don’t have to be. I just realized she’s learning that from me. I have to be conscious even more now than ever to show her what it means to be a genuinely good person. This doesn’t just apply to daughters, we need to be good to our sons as well. They become fathers one day, and us as fathers owe it to them to be good foundations of how they should treat others.

I read the statistics of a combatent divorce 87%of women with children will claim abuse in divorce. They do that first because they ultimately don't want to lose there kids all about control there on after. Sad that women will not stop an think using the children as a weapon cuts them so deep that messes them up for life. And I sent my ex letters tons of them and she turned into someone I didn't recognize her anger made the kids angry. The divorce was my fault for sure I was selfish prick that needed to stop spending money and drinking the way I was. And they al wanted that and took me to leaving and staying gone NOT MY CHOICE they didn't want me back after I went treatment and well she made me out the villian then demon them someone so foul I almost convinced myself I was crazy and it's true. All they said however god definitely showed up 3 times I shouldn't be here I tell u that. But here I am 6 years have been drunk since. So I feel your pain bro don't give up and get attorney that's what I did. Get ready for ugly fight my ex don't even know what she done eather

My daughter's mother left me, tries to turn them against me, fortunately I have shared custody. The youngest one especially tells me all the crap their mother says about me, she was 3 1/2 when she left. Always asks whether Mom and Dad could be back together again. After five years, I think it won't happen. She can't ever really remember the times when we were together. I loved her Mom so much, I don't even really know why she left. I tell her I still have love for her mom for the two beautiful little girls she gave me.

I had the opportunity to be raised and trained by an awesome man who married my mother when I was at the age of 3. I didn't know he wasn't my real father until I was 19. He introduced me to my birth father. Six months later, my bonus dad passed away. My mother never wanted me to know who my birth father was, due to I was forced into this world. My bonus father raised me to respect, honor, and love women as they should be. I now have a bonus daughter. One I can love as my bonus father loved me. It's amazing how we as men tend to take advantage of our children. My son, he is 30 this month, and to see him living his life peacefully and happily. It is the best feeling a parent can have.
