Подробнее о видео

“I’m in Sandusky” is an original song by The Wildwoods, off their newest album Dear Meadowlark. The lyric video was created by Kelly Oden.

As the focus track of their upcoming album, “I’m in Sandusky” tells the story of an unexpected phone call from a stranger facing the loss of his father. As the narrator tries to carry on with the simple task of grocery shopping, they’re pulled into the stranger’s grief—caught between empathy and helplessness. Bright, rhythmic instrumentation carries the song forward, while lush string melodies weave through The Wildwoods’ signature three-part harmonies, capturing the strange beauty of connection in unlikely moments. “I’m in Sandusky” is a meditation on the way stories find us, even in the most ordinary places, and how we carry them with us long after the call ends.ent to the enduring connection to home, no matter how far you go.

Lyrics:
Some old friend called me on the phone,
“I’m in Sandusky, feeling alone.
My father’s dying and he needs me at home.
Begging me to find my way to Ohio.”
I am in Sandusky with a broken heart.
Drive me up the walls and tear me apart.
Hoping for a miracle, a turkey on rye.
I am too young to be saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
I hung it up, when he started to cry.
I’m at the grocery in the soup aisle.
I think he may have had the number wrong.
Calling me again I guess I’ll play along.
I am in Sandusky with a broken heart.
Drive me up the walls and tear me apart.
Hoping for a miracle, a turkey on rye.
I am too young to be saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
I am afraid that you think I am not who you think I am.
I’m trying to pay for bread and wine, but you can call me anytime.
I am afraid that you think I am not who you think I am.
I’m trying to pay for bread and wine, but you can call me anytime.
I am in Sandusky with a broken heart.
Drive me up the walls and tear me apart.
Hoping for a miracle, a turkey on rye.
I am too young to be saying,
I am in Sandusky with a broken heart.
Drive me up the walls and tear me apart.
Hoping for a miracle, a turkey on rye.
I am too young to be saying,
I am too young to be saying,
I am too young to be saying goodbye.

About The Wildwoods:
In the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods emerge as a folk/Americana trio, a musical tapestry woven by the husband-and-wife duo, Noah (guitar) and Chloe Gose (violin), alongside bassist Andrew Vaggalis. Their story is a symphony of exploration and connection, a journey that has taken them from the Midwest to international stages, carving out a unique place in the folk landscape. Their presence has graced stages alongside artists such as Mighty Poplar, Sierra Ferrell, Aiofe O’ Donovan, Melissa Carper, Jamie Wyatt and Joe Nichols at concerts and festivals like Summerfest, FreshGrass and the Oyster Ridge Music Festival.

The Wildwoods have become a force in the folk scene, boasting accolades like being finalists at the FreshGrass Music Festival Band competition and Gems on VHS "Gems in the Rough" competition in 2023. Their songwriting prowess is underscored by semi-final placements in the International Songwriting competition, with tracks like "Untitled" and "Way of Train." Recognized consistently at the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards, they were crowned "Best Band" by the Lincoln Journal Star’s Lincoln Choice Awards in 2022.

Their sonic journey unfolds through albums like the debut "Sweet Nostalgia" (2017), followed by "Birdie & Goose" (2017), "Across A Midwest Sky" (2019), "Foxfield Saint John" (2023), and their latest masterpiece, "Dear Meadowlark" (2025). The band's evolution is evident in each track, a testament to their commitment to pushing musical boundaries.

United by a passion for folk/Americana, the trio’s influences range from Watchhouse and Nickel Creek, to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Their music, though comfortably under the folk/Americana umbrella, weaves intricate chord structures and emotional textures that defy genre boundaries. Together, their harmonies resonate with artful sincerity, drawing inspiration from nature, their shared experiences of growing up in Nebraska, and life on the road.
