- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- This is my tribute to EMS and the hard work that they do every day. The song was written by a band from Oklahoma called Sequoyah Rain. It is one of the best songs about EMS that I have ever heard.
Ran a tough one today boys. This song is on repeat as that face repeats itself over and over through my mind. Only the lord knows if I’ll win.
Hang in there brother. That squirrel should have looked both ways

This song was written by two medics in my graduating paramedic class. They sang it at graduation. Proud to call them brother and friend
My son stands proud to be an EMT for 24 years, was there when the towers went down and is as fine a human being as anyone could ever be, I am so damn proud of him.... he is dedicated and loves saving lives…. all heart, God bless him always, and all his fellow EMT's and Paramedics..
This song makes me more proud to be what I am. The public doesn't realize how much we appreciate be recognized for who we are. People who make sacrifices and live for the honor and saving a persons life.
Your right. It's the same for volunteer firefighters. It's only the career ones that get most of the credit. I don't understand it. I have the same damn training as then I see the same stuff as them, I am on call every minute of every day, I hardly make any money. Why do they get all the fucking credit?!
Amen to that brother.
AJ Calacci thank you for your service from a career firefighter. It's not about credit though, we all know going into this job that the only pat on the back we're gonna get is from ourselves and maybe our brothers, but no matter what we do in the eyes of the public we didn't do enough, but that should be expected. You'll never here anything but respect from us career firefighters because your part of the brotherhood, in fact volunteers makeup 70% of the brotherhood.
Man, this song is right on point.
Kyle Lott i volunteer driving a life squad for are t.w.p i can relate brother
I had the privilege of serving EMS a little over 20 yrs. I worked with some of the most absolutely extraordinary Critical Care Paramedics in Oklahoma & I miss them, my work & my truck every single day. I can still hear the sirens miles before anyone around me. I had never heard this song before today but it so took me back. I was injured Labor Day weekend 2007 & not a day goes by that I don't think about how much I loved my work. The good & the bad. No worse feeling in the world than to not be able to do anything & lose a life, but no better feeling in the world than to be able to do everything you're capable of & save one! One thing you do learn out there that no one tells you though, is ultimately, it's God's will. I'm just happy He allowed me to touch so many lives & allowed so many lives to touch me.
if everyone in EMS were 10% as wonderful as you, I'd still be critical care paramedic alone in back of ALS bus!
this ums it up perfectly , the highs and the deep downs
Tried to explain to PTSD counselor a how it feels. 10 years as an EMT, been two years since my last call and I still see the faces
stay strong brother
You will be alright
Chris Shear I hear ya man Iv been a FF-EMT for 2 years and some of the stuff Iv seen has been hell but I won't quit not yet
I still see the faces 5 years after leaving ems. 12 years changes a person. even my wife says I'm a different man than she married. but we do what we do because we love helping others.
Chris Shear hold on to the good times and the one's that turned out right.
Until u walk in their shoes, we can never know what it's like. God Bless all of them. I'm always proud to tell people my neighbor is an EMT.
pamela van damme my brothers an EMR and I'm excited for when he goes to college and becomes an EMT. His plan after that is to go into the military and become a paramedic.
As a Paramedic in Sin City for 16 years and Marine Corps Vet who has seen more than his fair share of mankind's inhumanities, this struck something deep inside me. Totally relate to the lyric's and I'm glad someone brought this song to my attention. Thank you for sharing.................
Thank you for your service.
Thank you so much all of our men and woman in all uniform! You all are close to my heart and soul
Thanks for your service brother and stay safe out there ff EMT here
Thank you for your service 😊
Thank you for your service
as a EMS you see things that you can't unsee but luckily there are paramedics who are there next to you to stand and kneal with you.
Trust me- while I was a ground medic only 1 year - then critical care/flight medic, YOU EMTs are the rocks we count on! Isn't the hardest part when you work a nightmare call it seems to be ALWAYS within 30 minutes another call goes down for you? And if you aren't blessed with ability to be toned out 3:30 am just after you've had first sleep in 24 hours- you can[t do this job; have you considered, btw, going on and becoming a paramedic?
no matter how many times I hear this. I can't stop crying. I see their faces in my mind. I see his face. I see her face. So many....
Been a Paramedic for 13 years, on the Ambulance for 18. I have listened to this song I do not know how many times. The most common place is in the shower, alone, with a beer, so my family can't hear me cry. I have ran all these calls and will continue too. I am a proud Paramedic. I love when I can make a difference. It is worth every scar, self doubt, and nightmare.
"why'd she have to die this way?" i ask myself that all the god damn time
Jessica Poggi some people are so miserable living life- or they can't cope with what happens to them!!
Its not your fault
@@kadenreynolds3486 i know, but it still weighs on ya
The victims are grateful to see us firefighters show up but when the Ambos show up everyone is grateful and relieved. Love ya Ambos stay strong x
Thank you. I love you fire fighters too! I would hate to do this with out y’all
@jboy4023 Amen to that. I don't know if I could do this job with out the fire department. Love you guys and gals!
I have so much respect for first responders paramedics firefighters military anybody that will sacrifice their lives to help others not asking for anything in return you are very amazing THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING
25 years as a street medic and 21 in nursing, Death comes and goes, Life renews, People love one another don't stop to think about the small shit in life, LOVE is all we have
In case anyone was looking for the lyrics:
The angel of Death came again today Took some poor souls life away.
I raced as fast as I could To get there by his side
But that angel swept him away
Yes that angel swept him away
And I fly down the highway
Got no time to kill
Only the Lord knows if we will win
It′s a race against the clock
The golden hour is all he's got
There′s a desperation in the cool night wind
Can't let that angel win again
Stop to grab a quick bite to eat
And once again they're calling me She′s tired of life and she took some pills
Her husband left and her momma died
No one left to stand by her side
These lonely nights leave a bitter chill No one else knows how she feels
And I fly down the highway
Got no time to kill
And only the Lord knows if we will win It′s a race against the clock
The golden hour is all she's got There′s a desperation in the cool night wind
Can't let that angel win again
Woke up at 2 o′clock
Can't stop now don′t have time to walk She ran her car off a bridge
Wiped the tears out of her eyes
As she tells her baby goodbye Another young soul was lost today Why did she have to die this way
I fly down the highway
Got no time to kill
Only the Lord knows if we will win
It's a race against the clock
The golden hour is all she's got There′s desperation in the cool night wind
Can′t let that angel win again
Can't let that angel win again
The angel of Death came again today Took some poor souls life away
Being in the ems myself this song touch me.... Each And Every Word Is So True
Thank you for this song Godbless brothers and sisters in line of life fighter EMR EMS EMT Paramedic Im one of the EMT
Thank You for your Service, i'm Paramedic in roleplay game, but it's only game, but i like to safe lives in games, but really thank you for your service.
been an EMT for a year, I can still hear a mother's screams, very unique, especially when the kid passes
As someone who has had their ass saved by EMS many, many times because of my epilepsy, thank you folks. That's not enough, but it's all I can say, because I can't give you guys the world. I wish I could.
12 years then it was all gone......Messed my back up but I still run "those" calls every night...... Maybe one day I'll "win".. To those still on the job please take care of yourself and your partner! You never know when the next call will be your last. God speed!
I gotta thank you, this song helps myself cope when we have a code that doesn't come back.
I used to listen to Train's song "calling all angels" when someone was pronounced, or handed off to ER is really bad shape- beautiful soothing song!
Hobbitchoker i do the same thing
Using the beginning quote when I do my Senior Spotlight Solo in my school's spring concert, I'm not singing this song, I'm actually singing "Your Worst Day" which was written by a paramedic's wife. I'm gonna see if I can dedicate the song to the EMS providers in the three towns that attend the small school. I will mostly dedicate it to my family and our close friends though, they have changed my view of the world since before I was old enough to understand what was going on. To All those who have to battle the Angel of Death for their patients, Thank you and keep changing the views of those who think you are nothing but Ambulance Drivers, because you are all so much more than that. Keep Changing Lives, Keep Changing Views, Keep Changing The World.
EMT-Basic 9 yrs... Thank you for this song! Amazing!
+chsftball57 this was shown to me by a medic friend (I'm an EMT in medic school 12 months to go LOL). Great song, aint it?
Conner Lee this explains everything a EMT sees....
i think its time to get that Paramedic, Im getting mine next year :)
LOL Make sure you study. I was working full time in EMS and fell behind in cardiology. We had to have an 80 to pass and I failed out with a 78.7. I'm starting back up in February so I can pick up where I left off but seriously medic school is a beast of a class. It'll rip you to shreds if you're not ready for it. Just from one survivor to a potential victim. LOL
to my husband who is an emt and been for almost 30 yrs as a volunteer
Amazing song. Saving lives is all I know. Losing is the hardest part. You never get used to the part of losing. Angel of death you have beat me a few times but I know in my heart I've beaten you every time I can. Until my last breath. Until my last heart beat I'm going to fight to win...
To Corpsman Max Soviak, we will never forget you brother. Rest, we have watch.
I just got certified as an EMT. I'm working on getting state certified and starting to work and such. I'm so excited for this career.
Be careful what you wish for brother, I've been practicing for 7 years, learn all you can.... pray every day...... and always remember the hunger to do good.
Love this song and it hits me right in the heart. 25 years on the road and it is just as true as it was on day 1
Dedicated to my beautiful daughter for all that she does, always going above and beyond the call of duty. 💜
This one really paints the picture in comparison to the others. Love it. It does take a special person to do what we do. Great song.
This has been my favorite song since my mom became a medic and it makes me proud of every medic there is and thank you every medic and any first responders!!you guys are life savors.
Miller Kids thank you so so so much! My uncle is the one singing, I’ll tell him about your comment 💚💚💚
Here are the lyrics in case if someone was looking for them. If i have written something wrong in some place, please correct me. I'm Polish and didn't understood 100% of song when i listened to it for first time
Angel of death came again today
Took some poor souls life away
I raced as fast as I could
To get there by his side
But that angel swept him away
Yes that angel swept him away
And I’m flyin’ down that highway
Got no time to kill
Only the Lord knows if we’ll win
It’s a race against the clock
The Golden Hour is all he’s got
There’s desperation and cool night wind
Can’t let that angel win again
Stop to grab a quick bite to eat
Once again they’re calling me
She’s tired of life and she took some pills
Her husband left and her momma died
No one left to stay by her side
Lonely nights leave a bitter chill
No one else knows how she feels
And I’m flyin’ down that highway
Got no time to kill
Only the Lord knows if we’ll win
It’s a race against the clock
The Golden Hour is all she’s got
There’s desperation and cool night wind
Can’t let that angel win again
Woke up at 2:00 o’clock
Can’t stop now don’t have time to walk
She run her car off of the bridge
I wipe the tears off out her eyes
As she tells her baby “good bye”
Another young soul was lost today
Why did she had to die this way?!
And I’m flyin’ down that highway
Got no time to kill
Only the Lord knows if we’ll win
It’s a race against the clock
The Golden Hour is all she’s got
There’s desperation and cool night wind
Can’t let that angel win again
Can’t let that angel win again...
Angel of death came again today...
Took some poor souls life...
...away...
ThePolish Giraffe thank you for writing the lyrics
Put this on a lyrics site
Thank you for this! My uncle is the one singing much love 💚💚
Listening to this in 2020. Ran a fatal MVC, worst I've seen in 4 years. Couldn't save him, died in front of me. This song helps me cope. Youre doing God's work.
I am 16 and want to be a paramedic. I get to ride on a ambulance whenever my das or brother go up there. It is my passion to be a Paramedic. NOTHING will stop me from achieving my goals. EMS for life.
Side note: I wish this song was on Itunes
good luck and i will be a paramedic i just have to turn my life around im 13 btw :D
work towards that goal i'm a emt-basic right now and i love it work hard
at it
Gotta be an EMT first brother. Always remember all levels of EMS are equally important. EMR, EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic. You have to be a great EMT to be a good paramedic.
Hey my sis is a EMT it is really cool
You need a real mental strength (even more than physical) to be one. What people don't realize that only people who don't need a paramedic respects one. If you feel it's your life calling and you are mentally strong and stable, then I wish you welcome to this big "happy" family!
To all my ems brothers and sisters, never shall we forget or take our noble work for granted..... sometimes we are all they have.
As a volunteer firefighter I have great respect for my brethren alive and those who lost their lives either trying to save another or just happened to pass but I fly down that highway to save a life I never knew. Any other firefighters paid or volunteer stay safe out there. Any EMTs and paramedics stay safe and all police officers please stay safe
From an Emt point of view this song hits a nerve. To all other EMT and Paramedics thank you for doing what you do. Remember stay safe and go home at the end of your shift.
I'm a emt firefighter I have the PTSD and I just wished my mind could forget what my eyes seen and I'm only 26 been doing this since I was 18
Man ole man that song about right tears to my eyes hit the ole heart strings
MY DAD WAS A MEDIC TOO HE SAVED LIVES I FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS IM A STATE RED CROSS MASTER FIRST CLASS AND A 42 YEAR VETERAN IN THE RED CROSS THIS SONG IS THE PERFECT REMINDER TO ALL FIRST AIDERS HANG IN THERE
I’m going in to the military to be a medic well I was now I’m going to do emt or flight med
@@ryandowns2169 I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK I WISH I COULD BE CLOSE TO YOU SO I COULD SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU AS AN EMT THEN WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR TEST FOR YOUR YOUR LICENCE I CAN SAY TO YOU THIS IS AS FAR AS I GO WITH YOU THE REST IS UP TO YOU YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
@ryandowns2169 I did 8 years as an Army Combat Medic, did Flight Medic also and Medic assigned to RANGER BATTALION. Volunteer firefighter/EMT for 35 years and career firefighter for 30 years (retired Deputy Fire Chief) . Reminded of the saves and losses. I do suffer from PTSD but would not have traded my experiences for the World.
I remember these days they told me to not come back because I couldn’t handle it anymore and I still think about it I’d give my self for everyone I could I mean that ! If god ever needs someone to give him self for the world I’ll go and I mean that do much I wanna let the lord win
A Beautiful Song truly fitting of the men and women of the EMS who serves us through dangerous times ! God Bless you all and Protect you through your service to us ! Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this song is what made me proud to be a first responder thankyou
Miss my brothers. Still remember yall singing this at our graduation. Such a proud day for us.
A rookie EMT of 2 and a half years. This song hits me unlike anything else. I can't only hear it once and I can never stop without tears in my eyes.
ha, my comments are still the top
First time listeniner, I thank you! Im a old retired army medic and civilian paramedic.
Also combat Marine 12 years 4 years EMT, 11 years Medic. Liisten to it every morning. Thank you sir. Says it all
Thank you for making this. medic since 1987.
I love it, it's fire when you're drunk and cringe when you're sober. The perfect EMS song.
Dedicated to my husband who has been a medic for 30 years. I can only can imagine what he seen and felt with . My heat goes out to him
heard the song on Ambulance driver on FB, love this song
25 years of paramedicine here. LA and Riverside Counties. Seen a lot. Still haven't seen it all. Songs like this are nice to get you through. I've always liked "running out of time" by Ozzy. Give it a listen. Once you realize your time is limited...you can look forward to your shifts again and realize it's the greatest adventure one can experience. Get the most out of it while you can and above all else....do no harm.
calmedic do know harm do no harm brother.
This song makes me feel like a guardian angel
retired 7 years ago after 40 years as a Paramedic still have nightmares regularly. Life has turned to death.
Thank you so very much for the tribute. Just so you know though, it’s spelled Sequoyah. It’s the name of the county in Oklahoma where we wrote the song. It’s also the name of the man who wrote the Cherokee syllabary.
Thank you for letting me know. I will fix the spelling. The song was and is an inspiration to me. I hope you and the band are well and safe.
same here. wish I had. the tabs for this song. But 12 years on a unit with 5 years since my last call. I still drive by some location and it just brings the memories back. Stomach drops and....
Def there are certain places I'll be going somewhere with my wife and we are talking and i just stop cause every detail flashes bk
I shared this with a friend of mine when she asked "how sad is your job? really?". I warned her beforehand and she still wanted to listen to it. She turned it off about halfway through and doesn't ask about work anymore.
I'll never understand why I couldn't save all of them. But I will never stop trying. And every one that I lose will hurt. But every one that I save is a victory that I won't forget.
Lost someone near and dear to me, she was the one I wanted to live life with. Now she's gone...I wish I would have had been with them.
thanks for much guys! sorry for my worst english, ems doctor, moscow russia, Mikhail. beautiful songs, right words about hard work ems: no difference country, but have people anywhere, who need help...
Love this song it explains a lot us ems providers see
My last call was two days ago EMD and EMT trained 1 1/2 years I miss it but I am happy to finally get a nights rest always on call your works never truly over as a medic or dispatcher proud to have served my community onto the next chapter!!
Listening to this on repeat atm I’m volunteer fire and was just at my first fatality fire
Sorry to hear. I’m also volunteer firefighter. Stay safe out there. From- Hyalite Volunteer Fire Department
I was wn EMT for 15 years before my health turned. I would work 96 to 120 hours a week, when I hung it up I loved it just as much as my first day. I miss it everyday. even 9 years later i miss it. It was a calling for me. Never asked to be recognized. Just wanted to do my job.
As a paramedic in
In Ontario I can’t tell you how many runs I’ve played this song heading to them
Thanks to my men and women who serve for not only paramedic but police fire and all its a great song
I’m an EMT who suffers from bipolar disorder (manic depression). This song touches me in a VERY personal way, from both the responder and suicidal thought patient perspective.
I’m currently in EMT school and have been doing clinicals. I’ve had a couple of patients who have made me think of this song. Fortunately, they made it...
thank you fire and rescue volunteers. always running toward the problem when the tones drop.
I think of all those that went before their time, those that I couldn't get back. But the hope that the next one I can save keeps me going.
love this song thank you!!
That’s 💯 true! Thank you for all your hard work! I have Epilepsy and they have been here to help me.
thank you for posting, beautiful song, very touching
I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it. Would love to hear more from Sequoia
My wife is a medical and I'm a driver learning to be a basic and this song made me so proud to do what I do

This video made a Grown man cry. My Loved one took her own life. The Medics tried to save her. But the angel of death got her.
Shout out to my fellow Ditch Docs.
Best job in the world. Strength & Honor.
And please, if you still hear the sirens and hear the screams long after your call, please, please, hit the mic and call for backup. We are all here, we few, we Band of Brothers.

I do a quick little prayer just before arriving on scene.
