The older you get , the more you realize this song speaks the truth

if you're still listening to this 2 decades after its release, you're awesome 🤝

I love my dad ❤

anyone else still here in 2023/2024????

It's so funny how songs like this can take your mind back to when you first heard it. Still a beautiful song til this day.

This song will never get old.

My kids were 4 and 5 when this was released. I remember thinking I could never take them away from their father. We went through some shit, but we stuck it out for them, and now we’re married 27 years and still happy. Both of them are grown, educated, well-adjusted, great human beings. I partially credit this song for helping me understand what a mistake it would’ve been to split my family up.

To the dads/fathers who have cried to this song, sending a powerful blessing to your tears. You deserve massive hugs and value from your kids.God bless the dads who bend and break their backs and cry over their kids whom they can't see or be with🌹

still a classic even till this day..

Who is here in 2024? This song is so heartfelt and sentimental to me. Im crying just writing this.

I remember being 5-7 years old and telling my dad this was “our song” without ever knowing the true meaning behind the lyrics. It just felt right. After seeing the video year’s later it was like a direct blueprint of my younger years. Just wanting to see my father on the weekends to avoid the abuse from my stepfather. He passed away last year November 7th. I play this song a lot since even though it’s difficult. I’m glad I got to spend 24 years with him but it still just didn’t feel long enough. Love you paps. And I can’t wait to see you again some day.

One of those childhood nostalgia tunes. The sound is very early 2000s. I remember hearing this in middle school, 31 now. Time flies.

This song came out just as my ex took my daughter from me. Then I went Into the custody battle phase. I got custody of her at 18 months. She just graduated hs last week. I couldn't be more proud.

Who’s listening still?? 2024… 🔊 ❤

Here is a hug 🫂 for anyone who needs it. 💗 🍵 ☕️ I am a mother bear. You will be ok. Be kind to yourself dear soul. ❤️

When a band goes beyond their talents to create a master piece of words, meanings, feelings, sound and yes even video blending into Perfection... you get Blurry by Puddle of Mudd ! BRAVO

damn, where has the time gone I was a teenager (high school) when this song was new and now in a few months I'll be 30... fuuuuuuuuuck

The world was so simple when this song came out. I actually had people I could trust in my life. nostalgia.

This music defines a moment in time, for me, where I finally thought "I have arrived", you know, (everyone on here giving up their deep thoughts), and I am a drummer so I played these songs and that gave me a connection that goes way beyond listening to lyrics. Everything these guys played was from the heart and they all played them OUT. Left blood on the studio floors. I wish to be part of something that real one day and I have had so many opportunities most of you would have KILLED for. I gave them ALL up because I couldn't reach that high. I knew what was going on in my head couldn't get that much angst to drive that engine, all while my career took first and foremost. Took away that pain, or at least distracted me enough that I would be so tired at the end of the day that would only practise for 1 hour. Gave the neighbors a short reprieve, until the weekend at least... lol. My poor neighbors. My poor mother had no choice but to listen because I was only down 1 flight of stairs. And she took it all in and loved every bit of it. Thanks Mom. You are the BEST Mom on the planet and that is a pretty pedestal...

Father's day is gonna be difficult this year. I love you dad, I miss you everyday...

Who's still listening to Puddle of Mudd in 2020!

It's amazing how it's Dec 2021, and this song still sounds great, and current. It's a example of what happens when a song is written about life.

Still jamming in 2024! 😁🤟

"CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAAAAAYYYYY". I ask God that every single day.

This song made me a better DAD!

When a song hits you in the feels even decades after it's release

I love you Dads getting it done. Grinding, working 14 hr days so our kids can smile and have what we didnt. I see you all

so many little boys need their dad ...it's just like a national tragedy ...

"Everyone is changing... there's no one left that's real" One of the most painfully accurate statements of the current generation...

I'm 65 and this song grabs me.

To every Dad song!!

Lyrics: Everything's so blurry And everyone's so fake And everybody's empty And everything is so messed up Preoccupied without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble, then I crawl You could be my someone You could be my scene You know that I'll protect you From all of the obscene I wonder what you're doin' Imagine where you are There's oceans in between us But that's not very far Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face Everyone is changing There's no one left that's real So make up your own ending And let me know just how you feel 'Cause I am lost without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble, then I crawl You could be my someone You could be my scene You know that I will save you From all of the unclean I wonder what you're doing I wonder where you are There's oceans in between us But that's not very far Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Oh Nobody told me what you thought Nobody told me what to say Everyone showed you where to turn Told you when to run away Nobody told you where to hide Nobody told you what to say Everyone showed you where to turn Showed you when to run away Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away? Can you take it all away? Well, you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me No! This pain you gave to me Can you take it all? Take it all away This pain you gave to me Take it all away This pain you gave to me Take it all away This pain you gave to me

I wish some days it was the early 2000's all over again.

I am 60 married 41 years we both have always loved POM! Wes is an awesome singer and actor🎉 Yes, this really paints a very true picture of how break ups with kids involved is very painstaking😢

He really loves his son, love it!

I was a single dad in my late 20s when this came out. Now my little girl who I would always think of during this long she's in her early 20s. She made it through.

Still listening to this 2018

Best alternative rock song ever

Sent this to my grown kids..I've got to see them.😭🙏

The worst thing one parent can do is verbally destroy the others' character and prevent that child from seeing the "other."

There’s one thing wrong with this song: it’s too short

Timeless song with an incredible message.

Awwwww, the 90s. Take me back please.

still rockn this song in 2019, who else..

The pain a father feels when his son is taken away from him and he can't be there for him as much as he wants. I know exactly how it feels. I miss you my boy, Micah.. I cherish every moment we spend even though it's just a little.

Its 2024 and I'm still listening to this awesome song!

Being a teenager moving away from everyone listening to this had one meaning. Fast forward to now when I have kids and this song has a whole next level of meaning. The nostalgia mixed with the emotional lyrics and tone, it's hard, actually really hard, to listen to, but it's a classic!

Back when we had this genre of music called rock, and alternative.

This song itself is so underrated

Loved him. My friend way back in the day. Never knew he could sing like that. Proud of him.

The absolute best song ever! DEEP FEELING!!

i like this song alot. i know when i seen the video i broke down into tears because my wife had just left and taken my daughter without any word of why or a reason. didnt see my kid for 2 monhs , nothin. then the divorce. only answer i got was she was "bored of me". but yeah , this video still makes me cry because even after all thsi time its still raw.

I don’t say this too often but this guy has an amazing voice

Happy birthday my son Chris!!!! I love you so much more than you will ever even know🥰

You DAMN Right we're AWESOME!!!

Women (and men) using children as a form of revenge is pathetic. Won't stop me from being the dad my son deserves.

Tears. Fucking damn it. So many of us can relate. Timeless song

Still an amazing song after all these years.

This song speaks the truth of today's world. I totally agree, still listening in 2021!

To all the Dads out there living in hell every day. Keep your head up your kid needs you dont believe the lie.

I miss these men. This is music from the heart.

There are certain 00's songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

I wish I could time travel back to this Era...😔

This song brought me to my senses and saved my marriage. I will always have a place in my heart for this one.

If some dude ever pointed and talk to my son like that, and i found out about it, he would never do anything... ever... again.

I miss the actual Puddle of Mudd so much. I was in the Military when they hit the big scene and I just loved everything they did. A lot of heart and emotion mixed with great music. Kinda miss this era in retrospect.

I was in jail in austin texas on drug charges. This was my work out song. Wow 2 decades have past. I've been sober 9 yrs

A cop who arrested me for a domestic incident played this song as I was going to jail, will never forget how appropriate it was. Turning point in my then wrecked life now a better man for those days...

2019 anyone??

I had a daughter who I raised for 2 years as the main parent. Her mom left me and for the next 3 years I barley seen a child I raised.... This song connects to me so much

I cant believe this song is 20 years old. It holds up so well.

Not bad for a 20-year-old song. This song must have aged like a fine wine.

One day I’ll have my boy back

OMG i just wanna jump out a plane and have this playing in the background

So beautiful that so many years later I still love this song.

I miss this sort of Rock....Rock With Family Values.

Music is one of the closest things we can get to a time machine. Brings you back to a moment like it was yesterday. Great, good, bad, and ugly times.

Never gets old.

I can still feel it ..some songs never get old

This song makes me think of my mother who passed when I was 19. I always tear up from this song. I miss her so much. 7 years has passed and it still feels like yesterday. RIP mom... thinking about you. ❤

Dam I'm gonna be 34 on may .I was 15 yesterday

I never knew the original story behind the song So for me this song has a very very different meaning than it does for most people. This song came out not long after my mother choose to leave me and my brother and abandon us she was not a good mother to me and was quite abusive this song for me represented shoving all of that in my face as she walked out the door forever. I still cry to this day when I hear this song bec it brings so many memories and feeling from that time in my life ,I was so hurt and lost at this point in my life I thought about suicide everyday. All I ever wanted was a good mom that loved me and cared about me.

💔😭 I miss my dad so much, I’m glad we got through a major league fallout between the 2 of us, but… I hate being so far away from him, always did from even back when I lived in south California, while he lived back in the hometown in north California that I grew up in till the start of high school, I was lucky we moved back during the start of my sophomore high school year… But… Now I’m all the way in north-east Mississippi… While he still lives in the Northern California region… Ever since I was a kid, this song never ceased to make me think of my dad, and that first time I was living away from him… It hit like a truck, this song was never easy to listen to cause of it… Now… It’s even worse, because we may have got through the fallout, but… Being THIS far away from him now… It hurts so bad it isn’t even funny… I wish I could at least see him during my birthday on the 9th of this month… 💔

Ace Combat Fans is here, especially AC5: The Unsung War :>

Who's listening to this in 2017?

Malibu Boats used this as their THEME SONG on their 200X CD to advertise their boats - talk about perfect motivation for triumphant wakeboarding. I can still close my eyes and relive those days!

Nothing in this world like a father's LOVE. I hear you bro...

I miss my wife soooo much :( R.i.p. my angel ! F.u. cancer!

I used to cry and sing this song at the same time.....thinking that my daughter would never love me because of the corrupted thoughts her father bred into her. After YEARS, she came around and we have corrected the wrongs. For all of the single parents out there......LOVE will get you through the hard times. I never thought it was possible, but it happened. BELIEVE in LOVE.

How many think of so much at once, and get emotional when this song comes up? 😔

I saw him in concert this past weekend, and he was phenomenal

Going through my custody battle, was absolute hell. Knowing that Wes was trying to inrove relationships with his sons mom means more than people realize. This song perfectly describes everything I feel for my son. When he is with his mom, I find my self walking around the house for no reason cause I do that when my son is with me. I miss him every day hes nt with me. For all the dads going through custody battles, DONT GIVE UP!!! I, a 24 year old single father, won full custody of my son. Dont give up, cause you have little eyes on you at ALL times!!

I have failed as a son, I have failed as a brother, I have failed as a friend, I have even failed as a boyfriend, I have disappointed everyone I am a disaster as a person. But if I had a son, I would give everything for Him. It would be my priority in life, protect him from all the shit in this fucking world, my parents have always hated each other to death since I was 1-2 years old I have no memories of them together and also both have always cared about their own interests (respective couples and their own well-being) they never thought if their actions could harm me in any way. I practically do not know my parents, I just feel contempt and indifference towards them ... even hate. so please if you have children and you separate from your partner (with time it is inevitable) do not put the children in the middle of the war with your ex, give him the best possible childhood, always look for his happiness and well-being, protect them from everything that I can hurt them ... that that boy or girl as an adult can proudly say he is my father.

when a song fits your life--it brings up emotions even though time has passed

PUDDLE OF MUDD ROCKS AND ALWAYS WILL!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This song reminds me of my son who I love with all my heart and always will. It's hard to believe that he will be 20 years old this coming March the 4th and he is serving his country so I'm very proud of him and hope he keeps the good work up. Love you always and forever your father.

Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake And everybody's empty and everything is so messed up Pre-occupied without you I cannot live at all My whole world surrounds you I stumble then I crawl You could be my someone you could be my scene You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene I wonder what you're doing imagine where you are There's oceans in between us but that's not very far Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it in my face This pain you gave to me Can you take it all away Can you take it all away Well you shoved it my face Everyone is changing there's no one left that's real To make up your own ending and let me know just how you feel 'Cause I am lost without you I cannot live at all My whole world…

This song is SPECIAL and is the song of my oldest daughter and me. Long, long story ...

As a child who was abducted by a parent to a father hoping to give his child a better life this song always brings tears to my eyes.
