Some People (demo) by Claes published on 2021-05-22T23:40:18Z Week 20 of Song-A-Week had the prompt "Some People's Kids". Here is my attempt at writing a song about that. Note: The family pictured has no connection to the events in the song. Lyrics: You read that sad things happen to some people's kids never thought that "some people" would include your mother and me The first 4 weeks of joy with you (our) baby boy turned frustrating at the start of week 5 when you started to fuss, this was new to us, and you kept it up all thru the night your condition had gone undetected too late we found out your heart was defective You read that sad things happen to some people's kids never thought that "some people" would include your mother and me not until your face turned all blue did you end up at Children's ICU where all they ultimately could do was to let you go while in your mother's arms your condition had gone undetected too late we found out your heart was defective You read that sad things happen to some people's kids never thought that "some people" would include your mother and me Image AND Song Copyright © Claes Akerblom 2021 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by David Easterling I'm not crying...

Beautiful guitar and melody 2021-05-27T08:41:48Z Comment by Bernard Dady NIce twist that what happens to somebody else can also happen to you. Love the guitar it sits sympathetically behind your sad lyric. 2021-05-25T14:45:36Z Comment by niki s oh wow what a brave and sad song Claes! So true that we so often think it will happen to someone else's child. 2021-05-25T09:05:08Z Comment by Forest and Dove Very emotional storytelling, Claes. (Glad the people in the image are not connected to the events.) 2021-05-24T08:40:30Z Comment by Erin Wolf I'm with @joshua-tanz - this one definitely hit hard. This feels deeply personal - whether it is or not, you really did a fantastic job pulling out a lot of emotion and heartbreak with this one, Claes.
