      I've watched your music progress, and you yourself grow, into something wonderful and beautiful that brings joy and solace to people in the heights of their lives or the throes of depression. I want to thank you so much for what your music has done for me in my life, and I know he is proud of you, never doubt that.

    This song is so parallel to my dad and I's relationship.
    "Hoping Sonny's gonna call"
    God it kills me and fills me with regret.
    "I need you more than you need you".
    He was literally everything I had. Only child, single father.
    I just hate this.
    He was my biggest supporter, my biggest source of love, and who i poured my love into.
    I cant do this without you Dad.

    Love this song. My brother passed away May 12th, 2021. He committed suicide, drugs, and mental health. His son sent this song to me. My brother would of loved this song. It would of made a hell of a difference in his life. He lost his woman when they were young; she died in a car accident, and their kids were so young. My brother spiraled since the 90s. Thank you. Once again.

    My dad is fighting brain cancer right now and not doing well. My brother and I are losing him and we can't do anything to stop it. This song is perfect right now and I know its helping my brother cope with this. I'm not a religious man, but maybe include my dad in your prayers if you are. Hold your family close people, you never know when they will be gone.

    Sometimes, you just come across something you know you'll feel. This, was just that. We both lost our fathers that very same year, mine was in February, he was 34, to cancer. And this is something I feel, on another level. I was lost myself after that, and took a long time to recover. Even today I still feel that loss, the pain, all of it, and I don't believe many of us actually overcome it, we just learn to cope. But, anyone who has, is, or will deal with this, the biggest thing that helped me was thinking if I believed he would want me missing fun and adventures to cry and hurt. And after thinking that, it was the first smile I put on in a year. Life never gets easier, we just grow, adapt, and learn to overcome.

    I had to click away because I started bawling mid-workout.
    I haven't lost a parent, but quite a few of my buddies, who had children or their own, did not make it home, and many more have taken their own lives. It made me think about what their kids have been left to deal with, and made me think of my own children when I eventually have to leave them.
    Jesus Christ, dude. Never stop.

    MY FRIEND LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    We grown now, you my only father and the only father I've known... and you old now. Bet your bottom dollar if it's up to me you wouldn't be alone, no no. You home now.. Smoking on the bong , hoping Sonny gonna phone like yeh. Im gone to, but to be quite honest I need you more than you need you, and that's true. But I know, I know, I know, I know its times like these... When family is the one and only thing we need, to get by. I know, I know, I know, I know I ain't no saint. Neither is you I'm just you in a different way, so i say..
    [Chorus]
    If I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend
    [Verse 2]
    We grown now, you my only father and the only father I've known... and you so down, similar to me I'm hearin me up in ya every-time you phone, so you know. Just slow down, only 59 got some life ahead of you so just roll. Don't go down, the same damn road you've been heading since mama let go, now..
    [Chorus]
    If I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin, Yeah if I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend
    [Bridge]
    I know, I know, I know, I know its times like these... When family is the one and only thing we need. I know, I know, I know, I know I ain't no saint. And neither is you I'm just you in a different way and all I know is..
    [Chorus]
    If I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin, Yeah if I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend. It's all on you...

      My dad passed away two years ago the exact date was November 17th he was only 59 not a day goes by I don't think about him and when it gets hard I play this song. Much love and appreciation for it. I didn't talk to him from the time I was 14 and he died when I was 23. So whatever situation you got with your dad whatever bullshit or whatever it ain't worth NEVER talking to him ever again because he will ALWAYS be your father don't regret something so stupid as not talking to like I do everyday. Because once he's gone you'll hate yourself you didn't get to say goodbye or hash out whatever beef you got

    I played this for my dad tonight, he recently started therapy and has become a totally different man, not in a good way or a bad way, just different. I'm really proud of him and who he is continuing to become. He came into my life when I was 2 and has raised me ever since, even after separating from my mother. I don't talk to her anymore, but my dad and I have become so much closer recently now that he is learning to cope with what what he's had thrown at him. This song really struck a chord with me, and now him. Thank you for that. Your Friend would be so proud and honoured for the amount of people your words have spoken to in a meaningful way. If all goes well, this will be our Father daughter dance at my wedding eventually. Cheers.

    Thank you for this song. Dad was my biggest fan and support with my music, my hero, my role model and my best friend. He just passed on dec22. The day before his grandsons birthday and this was the worst Christmas. He was 87. I'm 46. He stayed married to mom till death. 50 years. He left so fast. But not before I played and sang your song on my acoustic by his bed in ICU. He thought it was mine and when I saw the joy in his eyes at the thought that I would write him a song. I don't regret that I lied . Just wish I had one for him before he passed. He passed 6 hours later . Thank you sonreal. I'm old as fuck but I still write and play. If you even read this I'm surprised. If you would check out Sean LeForce on UA-cam and let me know how lame my shit is.??? Or if I could sell them for the sake of never playing them again to save the world from generic lame and predictable noise.b

    I know "sorry" doesn't help the pain and sadness when there is a death, but I am very sorry for your loss. Your Dad is looking down on you with such pride and admiration, not only for this song, but all of the amazing music you create. This was a beautiful song for your father. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    Last year on March 4th my dad was diagnosed with brain cancer, exactly one month later, on April 1st he passed away. He was a musician and a wonderful man. He would have loved this song and I'm sure would have been reminded of his father too. I miss him every fuckin day guys. I just want anyone who comes to listen to this song, that's going through something similar to know, you're not alone.

    I've got a horrendous relationship with my old man filled with horrible memories and rarely a good one. I normally wouldn't listen to watch anything father related though I dind't skip this one for TWO reasons.
    1. I'm now a Father so I thought about watching it from my child's perspective.
    2. It's SonReal's song, I'd that's something to give he time of day to.
    I teared up a bit, and I thought this was a lovely son. I appreciate this. Thank you.

    LYRICS:
    [Verse 1]
    We grown now, you my only father and the only father I've known... and you old now. Bet your bottom dollar if it's up to me you wouldn't be alone, no no. You home now.. Smoking on the bong , hoping time ain't gonna fall like yeh. Im gone to be, quiet honest I need you more than you need you, and that's true. But I know, I know, I know its times like these... When family is the one and only thing we need, to get by. I know, I know, I know, I know I ain't no saint. Neither is you I'm just you in a different way, so i say..
    [Chorus]
    If I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend
    [Verse 2]
    We grown now, you my only father and the only father I've known... and you so down, similar to me I'm hearin me up in ya every-time you phone, just so you know. Just slow down, only 59 got some life ahead of you so just roll. Don't go down, same damn road you've been heading since mama let go, now..
    [Chorus]
    If I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin, Yeah if I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend
    [Bridge]
    I know, I know, I know its times like these... When family is the one and only thing we need. I know, I know, I know, I know I ain't no saint. Neither is you I'm just you in a different way and all I know is..
    [Chorus]
    If I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin, Yeah if I got you then I know I got something, If we ain't time then we ain't got nothin, ain't got hate then we ain't got lovin. If we ain't got each other than we ain't got nothin. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend. It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend, It's all on you my friend. It's all on you...

    I think all you need to do to see how Real Son is, is just from reading the comment section in his songs. I meet Son with Richkidd after the Juno's show with Classified, and Kayo in Regina. He was real then, and he was just as real after his show here in saskatoon you Bon Jovi fan lol! Can't wait to see you the next time you're in town with the crew.
