Gah.. I miss when I was in school from 2001-2004.. best days of my life for music. 10-14 years later & I'm still listening to this. I can now understand those from the 60s still listening to the 70s & 80s. We truly have our music that is true to our ears.
Try pushin 40, bro. I took care of my sick mom for 10 years and have had to be an adult since I was 13, when my dad died. I've been a man since 1993, but I'm still a punk.
Mis respetos para bandas como The Ataris que son tan buenos con los instrumentos eléctricos como con los acústicos. Esta canción es un himno de mi generación. Disfrútenla!!
2021 still listening to this song and cry every single time. I remember my late dad who did everything to provide his family and now that he’s gone, every second wo him felt so different
I think she was about 6 years old when her daddy came to visit. He promised he would come back and take her to Disney world in a few months. When the date arrived, she packed her favorite toys in her little suitcase and rolled it around wherever she went for at least a week. I remember the determination on her face as she kept it by her side, awkwardly clunking it into furniture around the house. It was almost as tall as she was. She wouldn't listen when we tried to gently tell her he probably wasn't coming. Eventually she gave up and quietly put it away. Many years have passed, but it's never too late.
my dad gave me a cd and told me to listen to this song and i just fell in love with it i cant stop listening to it i finally forgave him for not being there the whole time
i play this song my daughter every time i see her my daugher that is,me and her mother broke up when she was just a baby and her mother tried everything in the world to keep us apart,well it worked ,the guy she cheated on me with,she married,i still continued to finish paying my child support .im closer now i have a beautifull grand baby.but sometimes think what a great family I would have had if we would have stayed together,this song reminds me of how much as long as im still alive ,have time to make up ,God bless everyone going through the same!
i feel lucky i have a great dad, and sometimes i dont treat him as well as i should but he is always there when i need him and he always tries his best to provide. This song makes me appreciate him .
one of my fave songs in my teenage days that i never thought i would sing every 7th of november since last year. it's almost two years ive been estranged from my daughter, for "reasons"... and i decided to leave our country to heal and rejuvenate myself from the pain and struggles of being separated-in-fact. the song cuts me and gives me hope at the same time, that one day my daughter and i will be able to catch up and make up all my shortcomings for her.
This song never really hit me hard until I became a Father. Missing out so much of her life where I would give anything to have those moments. It truly is the saddest song.
I love how even though you can't literally relate to the lyrics...you still cry...when you think of everybody who does relate...it makes me realize how lucky I am compared to my friends...Music truly is the greatest thing.
So suddenly this song just came up out of nowhere and I googled it and got here. Though it's an acoustic version, my hands couldn't stop hitting the air as if mimicking the drum and the piano from the band version. What a feeling.
I remember when I was in Elementary I listened to this song, the first time I listened to the lyrics my eyes start tearing. My father left us when I was still 4 and this song hit like shit to me that even now I still listen it.
this song makes me think of my little boy who was taken into care at 3 years old, I used to listen to this song when I was about 14 but now the meanings changed and it's like a whole new song, miss you Marshall x
This is the first time i've heard an original song by them except the acoustic song on Punk Goes Acoustic and I'm sad to say I should have listened to them sooner than this. This song is absolutely beautiful and I wish i saw them at Warped this year cuz i know they played this song on their set. Man this is a powerful song and it hits me right in the gut like a bullet to my heart. The Ataris are my new favorite band hands down.
this song reminds me of my daugther the last time I saw her she was 3 9 years later she went to look for me in my old neighborhood but i was gone I moved out of state my siter told me she was looking for me so i cacth the first plane to go see her and it was going to be her birthday.the same week it was cool for the the first week but then she blew me off that she did not wanted to ssee me anymore it hurted but i respect her decsionand i was waiting for that moment to one day to meet and we did it was good while it lasted.
I grew up clueless, my father was a hard worker back then he’s working out of town to make sure our family survived. The only beautiful memories i have with him is when he teach me to flying a kite. I didn’t blame him for what happen to me and shaped me the way i am. Now i’m a father of my beautiful daughter and i wont let her feel what i experienced back then.
Kristopher Roe is one of the all time most underrated singer/songwriters of our time. Even with an album like so long, Astoria, they never got the recognition they deserved. The closest they ever came was the boys of summer cover.
i didnt have my dad in my life from 5 years old to just recently and when i talked to him after 18 years the first thing i did was have him listen to this song.
good song it brings back memories of my dad being an alcoholic and never being around its like a life story for the majority of people growing up in broken homes and families ...sigh :/
i always take advantage of what i had.....my dad gave me everything...nvr thnked him once....now i lost him to a step family....he cares about them more then me and my 2 brothers...id give it all to go back and just tell him thank you for all he did...
I remember back in the days how everyone was into this band,but i wasnt ,,,then when this song came i used to play it a lot,,,my dad was living out of the country since early 2000,,and i relate a lot to this track,now after almost 14 years he is back ,,now i am a man but its cool to have him here.
4th birthday without my children. Every birthday, a day of sadness. I kept on hiding it inside. As I battle this sadness, I became weak. Polluting my thoughts with anxiety. I hope, soon we will be together. I miss my kids.
As a NoFx, Rancid, Bad Religion, Lagwagon, Ten Foot Pole, No Use For A Name guy (etc) , it took me a long time to find these guys and take them seriously but I actually kinda love the shit out of them. Years too late :)
1-800-273-8255 incase you ever feel like you need it, i know what its like to be alone and feel like you have no one to talk to. there is people that can help. and people like me that even though we've never met share a connection through experience. stay strong.
remember listening to this song throughout high school not realizing how it will effect me later on in life as my ex purposely moved out of state as a means to hurt me by keeping me and my daughter 1000 miles apart..
This song is sooo sad, and incredibly beautiful. It really touches me though, because I never met my real dad, and it makes me hope he's like this song.
one day...one day no mom or dad will leave their children maybe one day people will start caring more and the ones who care a lot will care less maybe one day we all going to be happy the way were unhappy now , merry Christmas people love every single one of you
Only two more days until your birthday Yesterday was mine You'll be turning five I know what it's like Growing up without your father in your life So I pretend I'm doing all I can And hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand why I'm not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting for you to come Remember waiting for you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all Maybe someday you'll really get to know me Not just from letters read to you I pray I get the chance to make it up to you We've got a lot of catching up to do
I really love this song. I'm seventeen and my dad left last year, and he also left when I was little, but came back, so I know. He even missed my birthday and now he's missing Thanksgiving..I just feel for my sister, because he's basically not been here for her life. And she's only 10. It sucks, because no one can fill that void. I just hope she learns how to cope, without getting hurt/: I hope all of you all do
That's the point of life. Different person different story different perspective It is already the end of 2023 and I'm still coming back to this early 2000 masterpiece
![The Ataris - In This Diary (Live) [Proshot]](/img/n.gif)
This song hits hard. I had one of those fathers. As an adult, never got to hear his story, as he passed.
As you get older you’ll understand him more , you are still a part of him
Gah.. I miss when I was in school from 2001-2004.. best days of my life for music. 10-14 years later & I'm still listening to this. I can now understand those from the 60s still listening to the 70s & 80s. We truly have our music that is true to our ears.
Sometimes it's not about the music...but the moments!
Ruben Del Mazo I like that, but I do have to add that the music must match the moment :)
Same here same years really miss those days not have to worry about bills I'm 32 now and it sucks 😢
Try pushin 40, bro. I took care of my sick mom for 10 years and have had to be an adult since I was 13, when my dad died. I've been a man since 1993, but I'm still a punk.
FreeLantz78 you rock Man! Good luck for everything!
Me and my dad used to jam to this. . Now that he's gone I feel so lonely listening to this. :(

You guys have a piece of my ❤
This song is going to make me cry because I can relate... My dad left when I was younger...
Same :/
That’s rough
I'm sorry to hear that I been there with both of my parents
You guys are so underrated. The world needs to listen to you. Thanks for still being together. I cant wait to watch you live.🖤
They aren't, just Chris Roe and some hired guns.
my dad gave me a cd and told me to listen to this song and i just fell in love with it i cant stop listening to it i finally forgave him for not being there the whole time

Thanks brother . We need that kinda love in this world. Thanks for sharing.
i feel lucky i have a great dad, and sometimes i dont treat him as well as i should but he is always there when i need him and he always tries his best to provide. This song makes me appreciate him .
2019 still the best sad song!
Prada Story damn right
R.I.P dad, even though i dont remember you, you're still in my heart as always
one of my fave songs in my teenage days that i never thought i would sing every 7th of november since last year. it's almost two years ive been estranged from my daughter, for "reasons"... and i decided to leave our country to heal and rejuvenate myself from the pain and struggles of being separated-in-fact. the song cuts me and gives me hope at the same time, that one day my daughter and i will be able to catch up and make up all my shortcomings for her.

Same brother. This song hurts so bad… my someday I can make it up to him. The heartache and guilt and pain…
I love how even though you can't literally relate to the lyrics...you still cry...when you think of everybody who does relate...it makes me realize how lucky I am compared to my friends...Music truly is the greatest thing.
2018, 2019, 2020 and beyond, this is a band that will stay in my heart, my son, I will see you again when I get home.
So suddenly this song just came up out of nowhere and I googled it and got here. Though it's an acoustic version, my hands couldn't stop hitting the air as if mimicking the drum and the piano from the band version. What a feeling.
I remember when I was in Elementary I listened to this song, the first time I listened to the lyrics my eyes start tearing. My father left us when I was still 4 and this song hit like shit to me that even now I still listen it.
Man... this song hits home. Amazing can not begin to describe the feeling and emotion in this song and most of The Ataris music.
this song makes me think of my little boy who was taken into care at 3 years old, I used to listen to this song when I was about 14 but now the meanings changed and it's like a whole new song, miss you Marshall x
Lagu masa2 kuliah. Naik angkot dari grandmall Bekasi ke Giant, terus nyambung naik damri ke Indosiar. Jadi ingat do'i

dude this song is literally written for you
O sea que porque una niña de 3 años te dijo que te fueras, no te hiciste cargo?
That's really so sad now I'm missing too both my mom and dad 😢
I’ve loved this song for years. It really hits deep. Honestly relate to this song to the note
I got a 1D ad with no skip button before i listened to this. FML
*Watches only 2 seconds of the video*
*starts a crying mess*
I Still love this song...
its so hard life without father. i miss u father...
I grew up clueless, my father was a hard worker back then he’s working out of town to make sure our family survived. The only beautiful memories i have with him is when he teach me to flying a kite. I didn’t blame him for what happen to me and shaped me the way i am. Now i’m a father of my beautiful daughter and i wont let her feel what i experienced back then.
Touching story.
Thanks for sharing.
It is already the end of 2023 and I'm still coming back to this early 2000 masterpiece.
Kris beautiful song.....good memories of our hometown.
still listen this song in 2017.. I'm born 1991..
Having a daughter who’s now 19 and who chooses not to have me in her life for almost 4 years now breaks my heart 💔
This song hits hard!

Wow so much memories!!! this song is like traveling to college days, awsome :)
Famous band at that time... Used to hear their song after tired playing skateboard... Oh... what a sweet memories...
2007-2009. More fun, less responsibilities.
This song was from 2003 if I´m not wrong.
I was 17-19. worked, but minor responsibilities. Best time of my life
This song is sooo sad, and incredibly beautiful. It really touches me though, because I never met my real dad, and it makes me hope he's like this song.
So beautiful 😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶

Only two more days until your birthday
Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning five
I know what it's like
Growing up without your father in your life
So I pretend I'm doing all I can
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life
I remember waiting for you to come
Remember waiting for you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
Maybe someday you'll really get to know me
Not just from letters read to you
I pray I get the chance to make it up to you
We've got a lot of catching up to do
FORGIVE MEHHHHH
I'M SO SORRY
I WILL MAKE IT UP TO YOU~
Glad I could be of service
I really love this song. I'm seventeen and my dad left last year, and he also left when I was little, but came back, so I know.
