Paul Thorn "I Don't Like Half the Folks I Love"

[@arh948]

He always sings about things we all can relate to. Hell of a voice

[@davebuckingham1365]

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.

[@austinschlatter4726]

@@davebuckingham1365 i literally just posted a comment saying the same shit. if you know, you know. i totally get it.

[@SniperLogic]

Amen to that.

[@phucyu8428]

This is the most relatable song that I've ever heard.

[@kathymccaston]

Paul Thorn is an amazing musical gift to the world!

[@jackiewhite6930]

Saw him at Miramar Beach FL this month and am a fan! Great music and really connects with the audience.

[@leepittman780]

The best damn voice representing the common man................hell yeah

[@susanamos4146]

Just found this guy DAMN HE'S SO GOOD

[@jcorona984]

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.

[@SniperLogic]

I can relate to that on an *extremely* personal level. Been there, done that, for many….many, years.

[@Moidahfais]

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.

[@johnlamarca9439]

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…

[@jdtheacousticanarchist4670]

Amen to that!!!! 🤜♥️🤛

[@xres1329]

So did he like you?

[@ehamill3021]

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.

[@MsThatjusthappened]

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

[@JoseRivera-dt3wl]

I want this song played at my funeral!!!! Like loud af!!!!!!🙏💯🤙

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.

[@TheJoshuaRaymond]

Can't believe I just heard him for the first time today. He's got a new fan

[@Jessica_Roth]

Same exact comment.

[@milemarker1]

Paul Thorn is one of America's best kept secrets.

[@henrypaleveda7760]

unfortunately a secret but yes he is one of the best.

[@michzelie4238]

i listen him from belgium ;-)

[@justhere4697]

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 .

[@buschgardenandbeer7041]

I've been listening to him for years. He should be bigger by now, but people don't know real music anymore

[@johnmclaurin3571]

Pimps and preachers

[@patrickcrowe6359]

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.....

[@heatherc0823]

Same. I was told about this gem of a song earlier this month by a client. I 🎶💚💜❤🎶 it!!!

[@cmb8703]

First time hearing this song and LOVE it...can totally relate! LOL

[@kezothehappylurker787]

This is one of the most honest songs I've ever heard!

[@mojoholmes1138]

No doubt!

[@michaelmadigan1582]

HAPPY Thanksgiving!

[@meloniemartie]

I really, really do like this and most every one of his songs I've heard as well....

[@td4190]

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

[@ajlee35]

which is why i'm grateful all my family lives over 1200 miles away. AWESOME SONG!

[@googull271]

What a fun tune. I love this song!!

[@jennyjacques9399]

i loved this dude for years. he is my fav

[@ronvonryan]

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.

[@msdonna2148]

The titles alone are hysterical, & the music is great-love it.

[@juliusbarb1]

This guy is pure song writing genus,I usually don't do the country/folk stuff he is pretty darn good.

[@chathamgal09]

Yes, Paul is a kick ass songwriter.

[@elizabethkarpinski]

I LOVE Paul Thorn's music!!!!! TY, TY, TY!!!

[@brianhearon1930]

I was gonna listen to one song....Iv'e been here for 3 hours! This dude is pretty awesome.

[@lewiefrazier1041]

Great humor, and a knack for saying it just right. He's the real thing, man!!!

[@Rhondalove]

What a great song writer!

[@justthemomof4]

Oh, how I love you and resonate with most of your songs! This one especially...

I love it when they go 👍 Thanks Paul great song

[@robynellington5998]

I first heard Paul on a Mountain AM radio while camping. I was hooked ever since.

[@bluegrassy1]

Love it! Never heard of this guy but I like his style, playing and voice. Great lyrics too.

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.

This song is so true I love it

Great writer and performer

[@yazbit]

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.

[@brandonboyles471]

So much truth in this song.

[@swamification]

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

[@maryharrington8108]

Just got back from his concert at THE HOUSE OF BLUES in Orlando & had seats four rows from the stage seats, while the TIGHTEST BAND I HAVE HEARD IN TEN YEARS, BLEW THE TIN ROOF OFF OFF OF THE PLACE! His guitarist is close to being early Hendrix, he's that GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! The best show & audience response you have EVER HEARD!!!

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
