From the recording Father
"Father" by Makaio Huizar is a deeply emotional Indie Pop track that captures the complexities of a rocky father-son relationship and the longing for connection. With heartfelt guitar chords, melancholic reverb, & Makaio's signature harmonies, the song carries a raw, introspective energy. Vocally reminiscent of artists like Conan Gray, Makaio's performance is both vulnerable & powerful. Perfect for Singer-Songwriter or Bedroom Pop playlists, it's a touching exploration of love and reconciliation.
Lyrics
I just let you down
Don’t I?
I can’t seem to make you proud
Can’t I?
Ooh what a father
I felt like a bother
My whole life
Ooh what a father
You constantly make me cry
You love to shoot me down
Don’t you?
You tell your friends
And then we argue
You said that I’d fail
And come back to you
(I would never come back to you)
I just wish you were supportive
And have my back
I just think it’s important
To have my dad
Ooh what a father
I felt like a bother
My whole life
Ooh what a father
You constantly make me cry
I just wished you loved me
You love the money it seems
I wish you believed in me
But you constantly shit on my dreams
You say that i'm lazy
And that everything’s handed to me
But i’ve been working
Since that day I turned 15
Atleast im trying, what else do you want from me?
“Come on!, Makaio! come on!”
“Makaio!, Hurry!, Makaio!, Hurry!”
