Ever Song - Father Of mine. How this song relates to The BLUES!

The Song i chose was Father of mine By Everclear.

Well first lets sumerize this song. Its a great song, a very good song. The Lyrics talking about how a father left a wife and Son behind, just walked out on them. It talks about how it was so difficult without having his Father, how they had to leave their house, and move into a "Black Nieghbourhood" which back in those days you had black and white neighbourhoods and if you were of the other color in that nieghbourhood you were scorned, and treated like crap. He sings about all he managed to accomplish without his father, and how it could have been so much easiar, then at the end he talks about how he has grown up now, and he never wants his children to feel that anguish and pain that he had to suffer through, and how he will never been a walk out dad like his was, how he promises he will always be there for his kids
This song is like the blues in many respects

First: The Blues, always in blues songs the song is focused on the person singing it, and how life is difficult, or how they hope one day to break free of THEIR chains that are holding them down, Where as in modern day music, its always a people or someone far away, something not personall. In "Father of Mine" He sings about how HIS father left HIM, and HIS struggles that HE had to go through without HIS father....YOU get what I AM saying?
Second: It Starts off sorrowful, and Ends with hope, like Most Blues songs do.
Third: I cant remember, it was actully really good :(

The Image i made. I actully took Screen shots of a few scenes in the Music Video that goes with the song. The First Image is him with his father, and how his father was at the begining there forh im. The Second Image is him watching his father walk away from him same as the third. The fourth is him with his mother being all sad and Lonely And the finall picture is him as a man, keeping the promise he makes in the lyrics of never leaving his own kids as shown in this quote.

"Now Im a grown man With a child of my ownAnd
I swear Im not going to let her know
All the pain I have known"

I guess that the thing you could really improve upon with putting the image and the song together, is really only strengthening the idea that it is the Singer who this story is about, it isnt about some random person, it is actully the singer, and when he sings he is actully putting his heart and emotion into the song. I think the Lyrics are stronger than the picture, you get the idea behind the picture. Combining them both together just Strengthens the idea of it being a personall Ordeal, one many others go through, but still in this example it is a single person we are talking about not many others.
