I love how Cassadee makes her song so personal. It gives such a lovely feeling. Not like the music of today where only catchy beats appeal the majority.
MrMidona True, there are a handful of others. But saying that Cassadeee is a "clone" is a bit negative. She didn't start out as a country singer you know.
Yeah, maybe "clone" is too negative. xEm0308x : watch "Change" by Taylor Swift, and see how she carries the "Hallelujah" at the end,, i'm sure you can change your mind :)
xEm0308x once you know how to sing stronger and better than her, then you can be in a position to hate on her. btw, listen to her perform IKYWT at the victorias secrets 2013 show, and then say shes weak.
She won the voice she is probably as good and successful as a the voice winner has ever gotten and will ever get. I enjoy this original song I gave it a thumbs up.
I remember going through my parents divorce in my teens and always searching for music to get me through that time and coming up short. I love how honest this song is and it induces tears everytime, even in my mid-twenties. Keep doing you Cassadee!
This song really hits home for me, I lived this story. My parents divorced when I was 11, me and my mum moved away and my dad stayed in contact for all of 5 seconds. Last night I was at a showcase where Cassadee performed and hearing this song sung live is just breathtaking. When she sang this song there were not only tears in her eyes but also in mine. I was luckily enough to tell her afterwards how much this song means to me.
Reminds me of when my dad walked out on me and my fell right through her anger...... Thanks Cassadee for helping wish the same. I want to be just like you Sincerly, Julie Mosher
Why did I have to relate to this song? :(( I miss having a complete family, I miss how my dad used to be. Sigh, I guess everything had to change somehow.
:( I'm trying to fight myself to truly let my "ex" wife go... Its so tough... I fucked up... And I'm paying for it dearly... My world that I wanted is gone... And I cant let go.
Me too. I miss my dad picking me up from school. I miss him playing games with me. I even miss him yelling at me. I miss it all. Every second of it. I miss me. I miss that little girl who wasn't afraid of anyone or anything. The little girl that didn't frown when she heard the word daddy. The girl who didn't bawl her eyes out over songs like this. I miss every second. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I miss my family. The one that worked. The one that loved unconditionally. The one I had.
I wish I had never turned 11. At 11 my mom got brain cancer and died. If that wasn't enough, my dog loved my mom so much he got sick suddenly and died 3 days after her. I'm not doing this to get attention, just to tell everyone to spend time with their loved ones, because they won't always be there. My mom said before she died, "giving up doesn't mean you're weak, it means your strong enough to let go" which is what I'm going to do.
I''m crying now. i lost my first dog aki [akimaroo] when i was 5 it seemed to be when i was sad or lonely he would come up to me and lick my face to cheer me up but one day we did this thing where we sat with him when he ate to see what was wrong with one of his teeth. then he growled and he lunged at my face and bit me straight on the nose and he broke it. after that he was 2 aggressive towards me so my mum had to put him down and i never got to see him after the day i got out of hospital. i know its not as bad as loosing your mum but i still miss him at least i hope im strong enough to let go
Sims Freeplay World I'm really sorry for everything you have been though thank you for being strong life gets better I don't know when or how but it will
Honestly this song hits me so hard. My dad didn’t actually leave my family, but as a I got older we started to grow farther and farther apart when we used to be so close. It’s like as I get older I disappoint him more and more.
crazy this song means alot to me... my father left the house for another woman on the day this video was uploaded on youtube. thanks cassadee! although i wasnt 11 when my dad left, but im still trying to get over the fact that the dad i looked up to is now gone.
11 was a turning point in her life..... in retrospect....what was you'res?...mine was bout 16 or so..when I realized the world don't revolve around me...cassadee got it 6 years faster than me...nice job...and damn good song
Cassadee Pope....Girl I am a huge fan of yours in 2009 I was in the crowd at your Indianapolois concert with fall out boy all time low etc. and even through the ran I screamed and cheered when you came out on that stage....then I heard you sing on my favorite show the voice and I knew then that was you!!! every week I voted as many times as I could for you and Recorded all the shows so i could watch them again. You are so amazing and girl you keep doing your thing you are amazing!!!!!.
I absolutely love this song. My parents got divorced when I was 17 (my senior year of high school), that was literally the worst year of my life. So, to all the kids that have divorced parents -- it will all be okay..with time! Believe me, I never thought I could believe in love after my parents divorced, but I am now 5 days away from marrying the love of my life. (: Just never give up, and everything will get better in time! (:
As a Dad facing the necessity of doing exactly the same thing this song speaks to, I can say that it gives me renewed faith to work it out and stick it out because I don't want to do that to my children. Great lyrics and beautiful song Cassadee. Keep it up!
It's been 2 years since my dad moved out due to an alcohol addiction and I still cry when I hear this song. Unlike Cassadee, I was 17 when it happened. I believe, comparing my story to other's who were younger, that the older you are, the more you understand and the more it hurts. When you are close to being an adult, you are smarter and deal with more issues than someone who was 7 or 8 when their parents divorced. When you are older, you do not buy into any sugar-coated bull crap that your parents might tell you to make you feel better because you know exactly what is going on. And it gets worse when you are the adult who has to be there for your dad in rehab and when he has surgery to fix the damage caused by alcohol abuse. Nobody should have to spoon feed their father in a hospital bed when the man is 43. My brother and I had to help him and our mom on top of going to school and maintaining our social lives. Mom had to work and job hunt and when it got harder at home with mom, dad slowly shut us out. Earlier in the semester, he came to my college campus for a football game and did not even make an effort to visit his eldest daughter and his future son-in-law. I would invite his new girlfriend to my fiancé and I's wedding in 3 years before I let him walk me down the aisle. I pray for everyone who has sadly endured divorce. This is something that no one should have to go through.
Well, I love the "What I Want To Be" page at the end, because she totally accomplished her goal. My dream is to be a scientist, and I hope I accomplish it!
This is sweet. Reminds me of a friend her father past away in HS and though he didn't leave due to a divorce he pain was still deep for her. I love the Home pictures that was great.
Hi just want to say thankyou for such a lovely & what sounds sad song. So many children go through this & feel alone just as I did (& oldest of 5). My hope is that this gets out to a lot of those girls, & boys, out there going through the same thing so they find they're not alone & over time it will work out through faith, staying strong, trying always to do good for your parent, & never ever giving up. 💝 God bless uou & your family through the many more years to come.
Hands down one of my favorite songs on the album. It's straight up country, there's no way around it, but the sincerity in the lyric and the emotion in Cassadee's voice make it great and, considering that it looks like this will be the next single, I think it will be one of the more memorable songs in country this year.
Luke Baron Her album is country. This song is country. If you google her it says she is an "American country music singer, songwriter and musician." Hey Monday was pop punk and way different than this song and the rest of her album.
THIS SONG MAKES MY EART HURT.... My parents divorsed when I was 10 and now im divorsing my husband and my daughter is 10... We all shall persevere. Thanks for sharing.
I was 14 when it happened to me Cassadee. My mom was the one who left & took us with her, when I wanted to stay home with Dad. Your not alone sweetie ... been there!
i loved seeing all these old pictures of Cass because i remember her Hey Monday days when she was a rockstar. Its so cool seeing what she liked as a kid. She's come so far since hey monday!
Cassadee Pope is the Next Huge thing in country-pop music, and the whole of the industry...I sense numerous awards (CMA, ACM, Grammy's, CMT, AMA's,BMA's,etc),,world tour and big sales.....This will possibly materialize when her second album will be released...I mean, no artist makes that instant BIG with their debut album, this is the start for her.....
This songs is like my life but i never met my dad so i always dream to meet him i know he is alive but its just not the same. i love cassadee pope i wanna be a singer just like her . I know how she feels in a way.
I cried. This is basically the story of my life with a few changes. Not the ages though. They're exactly the same, it's almost weird. The thing is, my life is definitely not an easy one, so now I'm all tough, there's no other way to put it, and this song made me cry the first time I heard it.
I met her mom over the summer and she told me and my family about Cassadee being on the Voice and in hey Monday and I was like Omg I love hey Monday!!! And we talked the whole time she drove us through Putin bay I can't wait to meet Cassadee
This song needs more views! This really hits home with a lot of folks! went through it as a kid myself and again as an adult. No matter how hard times got for me. I never stopped being involved with my two amazing sons! Thank you Cassadee! You did it again!
To anyone still not over her Hey Monday days and can't fully accept her country sound and to country music fans who hates mainstream country-pop, listen to this country masterpiece. This is what country music is supposed to be. Telling stories of love, life, challenges and dreams through songs. And she has done it very great. She opened up her heart through country music. If she went pop-rock, do you think pop-rock fans will love a song like this? I guess not
I love this song so much. the reason why is because this song tells my life and everything. even though I was only 4 or 5. or younger. now its been 11 years and I haven't seen my father.
She had her times in Hey Monday, but she has grown up to be much much more than Hey Monday. She deserved to win the Voice and it made her so much better and now she is just amazing. Growing up is the best thing ever.
I can kinda relate to this and I am very lucky to have 2 grandparents that love me very much. My parents weren't the best to me so yeah they both walked out and kinda stopped being real parents to me.
Omg Cassadee is amazing. usually i don't buy CD's with my own money because i am only 17 and i need to save my money far gas and stuff like that. And wait until my birthday or Christmas to get a CD from my dad or grandma, but i LOVE Cassadee SOO much that i just had to buy her CD eventhough thats a few gallons of gas i am missing now ITS TOTALY WORTH IT!!
