Some of Us – A Folk Song for Anyone Who’s Lost Their Dad

Подробнее о видео

“Some of Us” is a heartbreaking original folk song about losing my dad to pancreatic cancer. I wrote this song while thinking about all the time we didn’t get to spend together — the early morning drives, the fishing trips, and the calls I didn’t always return.

While writing, I had Woody Guthrie and John Prine in my ears — their honesty, simplicity, and storytelling inspired every word. This is an acoustic tribute for anyone who’s lost a parent or carries that weight of “I wish I had more time.”

🎵 Written by: The Sad Sandwich
🎸 Style: Acoustic Folk / Sad Song / Tribute
🕯️ Themes: Loss, Grief, Father-Son Bond, Regret, Saying Goodbye

Lyrics highlight:
"Some of us go easy, some of us go hard,
Some of us are loved, and others are scarred."

[verse 1]
Dad used to take me fishin’ in the dawn,
We’d talk real quiet with the motor on.
Drive the coast with no place to be,
He gave his time so endlessly.

[verse 2]
But I got busy like we all do,
Always sayin’ “next week” but it wasn’t true.
He’d wait around while I ran late,
I never knew how much was at stake.

[chorus]
Some of us go easy,
Some of us go hard,
Some of us are loved,
And others are scarred.

[verse 3]
Then came the word no one wants to hear,
Pancreatic cancer, end drawin’ near.
Doc said six months, maybe a year—
He left in three, I still feel him here.

[verse 4]
I held his hand and said goodbye,
Tried not to let him see me cry.
But every morning I wake with that ache,
All the drives we didn’t take.

[chorus ]
Some of us go easy,
Some of us go hard,
Some of us are loved,
And others are scarred.

[chorus ]
Some of us go easy,
Some of us go hard,
Some of us are loved,
And others are scarred.
