Everclear - Father of Mine (Late Night)

November 20, 1998.

[@glenndowling8383]

Ultimately an anthem to breaking the cycle of abuse. And that’s no small thing.

I’m a grown man who just got a daughter of my own. Welp not gonna let her know

[@therichieboy]

One of the most powerful rock songs ever written.

[@suki9317]

"I will never be safe. I will never be sane. I will always be weird inside. I will always be lame." When someone sings your innermost feelings. Sometimes you wonder if you'll ever be normal.

[@johnalterio372]

"the children you abandon and the wife I saw you beat"

[@gavinladewig82]

Who defines normal and what life should look like being content with what you got and leading by example. The world is ours

[@sharonwheeler1401]

Blistering. Seriously fantastic performance. I keep coming back to this video. I watch it when I need to see some 100% authenticity and 101% heart and soul.

[@Stanimal62]

Same.

[@user-xj8gx2ch9c]

Agree!

[@andyscott70]

Amen

[@Nepzer1]

Yep.

[@everdash]

still one of their best live performances of all time.

[@Janaya-fs8iz]

“You would take me to a place inside that’s so hard to reach”… I’m 32 and I still feel this way about my dad. there’s just something special about listening listening to my old man talk. I couldn’t imagine my life without him. I feel for all of those that didn’t have their dad growing up. You are loved.

[@TheBestPerk]

I really felt this comment. One of my friends was playing a 90s rock station on Pandora and this song came on. I hadn’t heard it in probably 12-15 years(I’m 22.)The second i heard it come on i felt instant nostalgia from my childhood and an unbelievable sense of love for my dad came over me. I cannot imagine life without my hero.

[@roneldov]

It’s like God sent these lyrics and chords to these great people because this planet needed to this absolute banger!

[@eriktremble8462]

I get the chills every time I listen to this song ❤

What a great fkn live performance. Hot damn I love the energy

[@Michael-mu1dc]

One of most underrepresented bands of all time! 🤥 Lyrics are powerful.

[@velvetpilot2008]

Everclear were one of the very very very few bands who could successfully straddle the fence separating punk rock and pop rock. Not many bands can do that.

[@nicolelewis5237]

these guys and pusa. there were a few more but those two stuck out to me most..tho presidents didn't get as much traction I felt them highly underrated.. good time to know radio.

Brian Lehfeldt

[@RavenlucJanie]

A lot of raw emotion here. Made me cry. Love it.

[@susanhawk3191]

My boys and me could relate to that back then thank you Brian Brown for being a horrible father this song's dedicated to you and by the way thanks for terrorizing us

[@zs1le288]

I hate how a song as powerful and relatable as this has 51K views while utter mindless trash gets millions.

[@thelandofsun]

Wow what a performance- this is rock and roll therapy. Excellent. It seems to me Everclear could sometimes be hit or miss live; like a lot of great bands. This is definitely them kicking it - probably one of the best live tv performances of any band I’ve seen

[@robsinclair5814]

I believe it was Greg (the drummer) who said it was the one of the most in sync performances he could remember

[@alfredomunoz289]

Heart, soul, courage and feelings At this performance One of the highest performances on TV , hands down 👏🏼

[@trumphatesyou]

Blind Melon "Change" on Letterman, the night after Kurt died is by far the best

[@caivsivlivs]

i love craig montoya's back up vocals though so fucking good

[@sharonwheeler1401]

He really added so much depth to the songs.

[@kristopherclark-berroth4386]

When they were both on (like this vid) they were one of the best lead/backup tandems. Craig held down the smooth while Art's raspiness cut through. Also, just a big fan of Craig's playing.

[@caivsivlivs]

@@kristopherclark-berroth4386 yea for sure, i wish there was more performances of this song like this...it's so good def the best live i've seen of it

He's in a band called Tacos in Hell now. They play a lot around Vancouver and Portland and Craigs vocals are always intense and awesome. He still rocks harder than most people in town

Wow. Huge performance. Wish I coulda been there… also, how the heck does he get through some of these lines without completely breaking down on stage. If not for the lyrics this song, just the instrumentals really kick ass.

I did, watched them a couple weeks ago to get them off my bucket list, was so happy when I heard they were coming through town! As an 80s/90s kid I used to listen to them all the time...such powerful lyrics in all their songs.

[@user-xj8gx2ch9c]

That’s fucking nice performance! Wow! Through the years!

[@jeffjefferson8137]

sooo much energy. i’m excited to see them in july. also never new they had a guy that plays just snare cymbals and tambourine. also super tight, i wish my band could play this together

[@buRnthastuff]

What an energy man, so awesome ;-)

[@frankym69]

Everytime I see this guy perform, my childhood and Ned Declassified comes to mind. Middle school and high school, so much fun, yet such a waste of time. P.S. I still don't have the right looks, and I still have the same old friends. Nothing changes but the names, the faces and trends. I swear I thought "High School Never Ends".

The worst part of child abuse is that it scares us to death to have a child of our own because we are terrified of perpetuating the cycle of abuse.

@@majordomoenteract Thank you! 💕

[@velvetpilot2008]

@@majordomoenteract why did Davey stop touring with them?

[@majordomoenteract]

@velvetpilot2008 A couple of months after his last Everclear show in March of 2002, Davey joined with Storm Large (his then-girlfriend) and Everclear's former keyboard player James Beaton to form Storm and the Balls. Everclear barely toured that year; I think he just decided to make that his main gig.
