This one got me when I first heard it.

 My father left me when I was 9 years old. My mom raised me by herself. It was a hard time for the both of us, but we made it through.

So, is there music out there that speaks to you like this one does to me?

Death metal.

I always liked that song for some reason but I don't know why.

duckaluck... my father left b4 i was born =(

I don't think there's a Youtube video for this song, I'll try to find one. In the mean time, I'll post the lyrics.

Alice Cooper's Might As Well Be On Mars:

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin down the hall
Midnight blues comin through the walls

I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain

Im on the roof and Im starin at the stars
Lookin down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on mars

The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
And you just live across the street
But thats a billion miles away

Youve turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin
Id cross the universe to be right where you are
But Im right in your backyard
And I might as well be on mars

Chorus
I might as well be on mars
You cant see me
I might as well be the man on the moon
You cant hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on mars

Baby, I cant fly
If I could Id come down to ya
Maybe I should try

Im on the roof and Im starin at the stars
Lookin down at all lthe cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach is just too far
And I might as well be on mars

Yeah it's tough but you gotta move on.

Duckaluck, I know how you feel about your dad - it can be tough, especially if you ever try to meet him. I was very lucky in that my mom had plenty of male friends who kinda took me under their care - it really helps to have strong male role models growing up. In that vein, this is Faheem by Brother Ali [singing to his son about his divorce], followed by my favorite Brother Ali song Forest Whitaker, about being proud of yourself no matter what other people may think. Both of them speak to me, and I would heavily recommend Brother Ali to everyone here.

One more song that speaks to me, on a completely different level, this one is about the destruction of real relationships in modern society.  It's called "Coin-operated Boy" by the Dresden Dolls.

We got big brothers in our life. some blood some aint.

Even we are big brothers and sometimes we just dont know.

SoundTemP.
