Father of Mine

This song is autobiographical, as lead singer Art Alexakis's father left his family when he was a young boy.

[3] "Father of Mine" was the third top-five Modern Rock Tracks single from So Much for the Afterglow, peaking at number four.

This song is also recorded in a radio mix, which can be heard on Ten Years Gone: The Best of Everclear 1994-2004.

[4]The music video, directed by Paul Hunter,[citation needed] starts with a young boy (played by Steven Anthony Lawrence) and his father spending time together.

It then skips to when the boy is a teenager and hits the winning run at a baseball game while Art sings in the background.
