This is the most relatable song that I've ever heard.
Can't believe I just heard him for the first time today. He's got a new fan
This is one of the most honest songs I've ever heard!
No doubt!
Not only is this man a great performer he also writes some fine and interesting songs, and dares to go into subjects matter far from the norm, no 'moon and June' for this writer, and as a song writer myself I understand the road he is traveling, and it's a hard road!! To anyone who thinks that they would like to start writing songs this video is a 'Master class' on songwriting.
Someone warned on another post to be careful, that Paul Thorn is addictive. And, he was right. Damn!
He is and it's not an addiction I plan on kicking anytime soon. If you like this checkout you might be wrong such a great tune from the same session
I saw it too. Just 5 minutes ago. Looks like we are both surfing. Niceee
Yes, Paul is a kick ass songwriter.
My family reunion is going on today.
My relatives have all flow in
From places far away.
As we sit here eatin' chicken
It hits me like a truck.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My and my former best friend
Had a big fallin' out.
I caught him with my wife
So I punched him in the mouth.
We just can't hang out anymore
But I still wish them luck.
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
My alcoholic buddies are fun to hang around
When we drink together, peace and joy are bound
But sometimes they bring me one more shot
When they know I've had enough
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
In this world we live in
This I guarantee
We all need more tolerance
To get along peacefully.
But I'm not as nice as Jesus,
And I really am fed up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
God knows they're all dear to me
But if the truth be told,
I like it when they come,
But I love it when they go.
I'm sure they've got good qualities
But the bad ones cover them up.
I don't like half the folks I love.
I don't like half the folks I love.
which is why i'm grateful all my family lives over 1200 miles away. AWESOME SONG!
this guy's gonna make it to the top!
I hope. His music is great, but he doesn't bounce around with half naked gals fancing behind him. No fireworks. I wish him luck.
I met this guy 2 days ago, hes a really nice person! He shook hands with me and we talked a while before i helped him unload his equipment. This guy is not as famous as he should be.
My opinion is it’s racism… I think his wife is a black woman. He explained in one of his interviews… Also he’s not willing to spend the time away from his family that’s required to become rich and famous… That is a GOOD thing in my opinion…
Amen to that!!!!
🤜♥️🤛
So did he like you?
He's finding his joy and his following. He knows what matters. 😁I met him.too briefly made a strong impression on me. He's a shinning bright light, he gleems.

I LOVE Paul Thorn's music!!!!! TY, TY, TY!!!
Just found this man today. I gotta get out more. Great stuff!
I have to say I do Like his songs and sound.
BANG! That one Hit me right between the horns! It is something I am aware of on some level, but don't often acknowledge. The other side of that, is the realization that some of the people I love, probably feel the same way about me. :) Thanks for posting this great song!
Instead of peddling all these clowns, Paul Thorn should be the big ticket on some of the TV shows recicling the same artists with some commercially polished names over and over again. This guy is great.
Ain't this song the dog on truth!
i so adore this man 22 may hotlanta, I will pay for 2 tickets and enjoy the hell outta a it!
YEAH!! LOVIN' ME SOME PAUL THORN!!!
Just Because They're Family Doesn't Mean You Have to Love Them....And if you do love em you sure in the he!! don't have to like em. Love his songs, he reminds me of Jason Statham...THAT'S A GOOD THING!!

I don't feel so bad.

Hmm.. I wonder if he's related to the same people I am....
I love this man! his voice, his playing, and especially what he has to say. Does he have a playing schedule. Sure would like to hear him live.

Mississippi Talent...

You can pick your nose & your friends your family well they’re preselected & you’re stuck with them for better or worse that’s just how it is
this is a man that want 6 rounds in the ring with Roberto Duran and made it a fight / can you do that I cant
Damn
Yeah Duran was 58 at the time.😂😂😂
His family questioning which side they're on haha.

When it was time for them to leave
I said thanks for the visit
BUT GET OUT OF MY HOUSE !

Good one. Where's he been hiding?
We need more talented people like this, not like most of the dumbasses we have nowadays

Paul Thorn is one of America's best kept secrets.
unfortunately a secret but yes he is one of the best.
i listen him from belgium ;-)
Yep ..our family have lots of secrets ... Ask him ..if he went to aunt brenda's funeral ? She died of cancer this year? Ask him if we are ok. ? Your celebrities yay 😁 they have families .....do they care well I seen him at my mom's funeral but I asked him if he'd go to my wedding was going to pay him to play
.. um....no he's just sold his sold .
I've been listening to him for years. He should be bigger by now, but people don't know real music anymore
Pimps and preachers
He always sings about things we all can relate to. Hell of a voice
I swear this song is about the relationship i have with my old man. Love the guy but god damn sometimes i just cant stand him.
@@davebuckingham1365 i literally just posted a comment saying the same shit. if you know, you know. i totally get it.
Amen to that.
Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.
Benjamin Franklin
True that!
I want this song played at my funeral!!!! Like loud af!!!!!!🙏💯🤙
That’s a great idea 😂
@@kathymccastonYou just caused me to revise my will. 😂
This song hits the nail on the head. It's especially true when you have a very sick loved one and extended family may or may not show up for support.
I can relate to that on an *extremely* personal level. Been there, done that, for many….many, years.
Limp viagra karma
Paul Thorn is an amazing musical gift to the world!
he doesn't need fame... but people need to hear him, he really puts so much story into his songwriting and is a really talented musician that can help change a great many hearts and minds, he undoubtedly deserves more recognition
I think this is gonna be my new theme song.
OMG Heard this song today 08-12-24 on Spotify- an instant classic- that I somehow missed over the years- Catches moments of thought we have all felt and/or still feel
all too often -- Can't always like those we love - and sometimes never have.............Thanks Paul Thorn.....
Same. I was told about this gem of a song earlier this month by a client. I 🎶💚💜❤🎶 it!!!
I was gonna listen to one song....Iv'e been here for 3 hours! This dude is pretty awesome.
"He must need a bodyguard if he still goes home for the holidays." now that funny. Bill
How did I miss this gem for 10 years? And it shows up in my feed today as I'm blowing off a family reunion.
Words couldn't be any truer
The titles alone are hysterical, & the music is great-love it.
This guy is pure song writing genus,I usually don't do the country/folk stuff he is pretty darn good.
I really, really do like this and most every one of his songs I've heard as well....
The best damn voice representing the common man................hell yeah
damn ...dudes got talent. I know I don't like half the fokes I love either. great writer
Benjamin Richardson I know exactly what you mean I was married 43 years I could have shot her and been out in 20.lol
Thank you, John Boy & Billy, for turnin me onto Paul!!! !st with the Christmas song!
I don't know how I found this, but it sure made my night! good stuff!
What a fun tune. I love this song!!
I love this song & realize that most people feel the same way! I like this Man, he speaks from the Heart & Soul...
He must need a bodyguard if he still goes home for the holidays.
Just found this guy DAMN HE'S SO GOOD
paul you are really down to earth. Bless you for you truth in song!
LOL. Paul used ‘half the folks I love’ because using ‘one twentieth the folks I love’ wouldn’t fit the tempo. Hahaha.
No but "Most the folks I love" would fit.
🎶 I don’t like, none of the folks I love 🎶
Sounds like my Dad.." I love you but that don't mean I like you"
Words couldn't be any truer
I think your a lot better just you and guitar. I listened to the other cd and I'd buy this over that. But I like your style and songs
I love this fantastic song of Paul’s. So much so that I regularly cover it, especially at family gatherings.
With tremendous respect to the original I wrote, or rewrote, an additional final section. Hate it or disregard it...I know it’s like putting legs on a snake but here it is anyway:
I know they all love me in their own little ways
But when they see me coming they all run away
We all got good qualities but the bad ones cover them up
We don’t like half the folks we love
We don’t like half the folks we love
This song is so true I love it
Love this......................He's just so damn good....crazy & talented!
Yes he is!
Truth be told ... He's RIGHT !!! Ha!
Soo much truth, it would be nice if people had empathy and we're kind and considerate, unfortunately there's not many out there
Sad reality. A Memphis cop said he learned to hate holidays. "The aclohol flows and good ole Uncle Bob gets a knife buried in his chest because he didn't carve the turkey correctly" Alcohol and family gatherings is a tragedy waiting to happen. Most families should never "get together".
i loved this dude for years. he is my fav
