about

a previous version of this track was recorded in 2019 and released as track 8 on My Name. that one was beautifully produced by Kevin Hahn at Opal Studio in Portland. this version is my own production, featuring my '70s upright piano and my raw, non-autotuned voice.

the song was written roughly six months after Scott's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

lyrics

don't fold the laundry
don't pay the rent
don't put away the Christmas gifts your mother sent
don't check your inbox
don't make the bed
don't you ignore that nagging voice inside your head

just call your dad
just call your dad

unpacking boxes, I stumbled on
photos he took of you way back when you were young
I know it's hard to think what to say
besides how are you, sure hope the kids are doing great

just call your dad
just call your dad

don't be ashamed now
there is no blame
none of us ever saw it coming anyway
you've got his nature
those dreaming eyes
maybe he doesn't even know how much you've cried

just call your dad
just call your dad
someday we'll know how much time we had
just call your dad
