    Parents divorced when I was 4. My dad gave my mom a chance to be in our lives, she chose not to. But our dad, he raised me & my sister by himself he got some help every now & then, no child support. Took us to & from school, whatever school activities that schools was doing he was there. He even had to work nights for a few years, something that he really didn't want to do but did it. Sad to say we grew up without a mom and times were tough, but we pulled through because of him. I love you dad.

      Same here man, my dad raised us both alone mom was never around till he was bedridden. Worked every single day until the cancer overwhelmed him. Wish I had've gotten to spend more time with him while he was around. This years 10 years since he passed in July, fighting back the tears writing this as a grown ass man. Cherish every day like you may not have a tomorrow.

    My dad raised me and my siblings in Louisiana while fighting my mom’s addiction. He worked himself to the bone until his blue collar job cost him nearly everything. He was injured so bad he was permanently disabled. We fought like hell through homelessness and hardship till that settlement came and we moved up north a ways. He passed 5 years ago and he is still the strongest man I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.

      ADANAC Sadly alot of people don't ever realize this. Most kids without a father growing up were told that there father leftt. That isn't even remotely true. The majority were forced out of their homes by government, which got going from their wife. Sadly the kids are brought up believing falsehoods. They don't know there dad was providing for them since they were born, and after the divorce. The old days were different, but now you're supposed to take certain things for granted, while propping up mediocre behavior. Nowadays just being a mother deems you the right to claim yourself a great, or, good one. As a father if you don't do half of the inside work,( as well as all the outside work he was already doing) then he is somehow lazy, or terrible. As Rodney Dangerfield always said "No respect I tell ya, no respect". No wonder marriage rates are plummeting.
      Good for you for realizing that though. It most certaintly is something all fathers hope their kids will realize someday. Be grateful for knowing that truth.

    Song reminds me so much of my baby brother. He had his first child at 16, and immediately got a job on a shrimp boat to provide for his new family. On his 17th birthday, our father signed for him to enlist into the Marine Corps. He did three tours in Iraq, and was even wounded in fallujah. After the service he got a job offshore drilling, and worked countless hours every week to build a comfortable civilian life for his family. I watched as he deteriorated when he got sick. He beat it, and went right back to work to continue to provide. He overcame so much in life only to be hit by a stray bullet at a gas station half a mile from our fathers house in 2014. Rest in Paradise baby bro u were double the man anyone I know could ever be in half the time! You were always able to keep the wolves away. I’m so proud to be your big brother. Miss you so much man.

There should be more people like your brother, there are many people who lack the strength or motivation to go ahead and fight, especially to fight for the family, without it and without someone to guide them, the children get lost along the way. Rest in peace.

    So many strong people here. I work as a fireman and I got sick almost a year ago, acute liver failure, enlarged spleen, wacky labs, various infections. Was hospitalized in a VA hospital for two weeks. Tried to go back to work after I got out of the hospital and my body couldn’t keep going. I couldn’t work for about half a year.
    I read the comments here and listen to this song about what people are able to do for their families and I feel shame for not being able to provide for my family for so long.
    I thank God for healing me and I pray that if it happens again, I can do what I have to for my family. Thank you all for sharing your stories

      It doesn't have to be this way. We have all been deceived by an illusion that life for the majority is always a struggle. This is so far from the truth yet we accept that we have to work for some corporation and we accept what they want to pay. Their share holder dividends should be a huge clue to the amount of money they make off the poor they give bread crumbs to for their blood and tears. This can change. Start talking about it. The more we bring awareness out, the faster things will change. Tgere is enough resources in this world to take care of double the population in excess of having too much.

      My dad left at sunrise, usually came home at sunset. Not "blue collar," just a humble librarian at the public libraries. We were pretty much poor, but didn't think of it that way. Dad worked, but only had one job except when he picked up projects, and I am grateful to him for showing me what a man really is, but not holding three jobs like some neighbors did so their wives could have fancy furniture and get their hair done every week at a salon (and grateful to my mom for not pushing him to do that or demanding it).

He's felt grief all his life for what he did to you. And he knows that there's at least one man in the world who would kill him if he got the chance. Nothing he could do now could redeem him in your eyes and heart, but doing that to his family scared his soul.

Work in a factory to provide what i acn for them. Somethin about this song has truly made me understand how much he sacrificed to give me and my brothers and I a good childhood. I never got to tell him thank you. He never got to meet his grand children. I miss him everyday, to this day. I wish i was mature anough to realize then and to say thank you to him.

    My dad had bad complications from diabetes. It was making it hard for him to work. I took a pretty physical job and worked overtime as much as could, and convinced him to retire.
    I don't recall him ever telling me that he was proud of me. He wasn't the kind of man that expressed his emotions. He was a hard ass steelworker. But one day as we're sitting together watching TV, he turned to me and said "thank you for stepping up like you have."
    I was maybe 22 or 23 at that point. It took all I had to stifle my cries, but I couldn't hold back the tears. To this day I still get choked up thinking about it. That was my time to keep the wolves away. Dad passed in May of 2023. Despite us being at odds so many times, I still miss him so badly.

I've been struggling to stay sober bc I've wasted to many years of my life running with the same wolves that now have turned on me. Im blessed that my father is and has been the rock in my life. Guilt overcomes me when thoughts burn through my mind of all the wasted memories that I destroyed by worrying about when I needed my fix. Now that I'm able to clearly think, my dad has moved on to Texas and it's not as simple to just stop and visit. I hate myself for wasting all the golden opportunities that I had of making memories with him. Ever since I became a father to my son, i can only dream of always being there for him like my dad was for me. I hurt so bad in my soul bc I know that all the time thats past can never be presented to me again. God bless everyone of u! Stay strong and don't let the wolves blow down the house that u created! Thanks for taking the time to read this novel!

My dad never turned the his back on my, while i was a egoistic pos. Which is so god damn unfair. Last week, he came up to me and said that is a pitty we havnt any hobbies together or smth like this. That he would have loved it to to spend more time with me. It hurts. I love my parents but me dipsh*t kinda cant show it.

    This song reminds me of my father. Waking up at 4 30 am, driving almost 4 hours every day to go to a factory assembly line. Punching in and out, thankful for dinner ready at 7 pm. In bed by 9. For years he did this, for us 3 kids, and his high school sweetheart.
    Never did I hear a word of complaint. But I felt the calluses on his hands. I heard the exhaustion in his voice as he sang me to sleep to the tune of songs like If I had a hammer, all the leaves are brown, and paperback writer.
    As a child I didn't know the metaphor of this song, keep the wolves away. Now as a father, I understand. My hands are rough. Bones weary. I'm there for my son, and my old man. To keep the wolves at bay.

      Now that I'm the breadwinner for my family, I do the same thing because I learned it from him. I work long hours every day, for months, years at a stretch "to keep the wolves away" and so my wife can be home with our kids. I consider it a privilege to work so hard and be so tired, because I know I'm doing my best for my family, and setting an example of how a man leads and takes care of his wife and children.

      Shit makes me cry man. I'm so fucking appreciative of my father but feel awful that I ended up abusing my own body in the military. I feel like my father and mother worked hard and rucked themselves up just for me to end up a broken 27 year old. I know it's not the case. But still.

    I just figured out why it's windy everywhere in this video, even in the house. The wolf never stops trying to blow down your house and it's your duty to keep it standing every day.
    This song gives me chills every time I listen to it, and I listen to it every day. It keeps me motivated to keep working hard for my family.
    Update: thanks for all the love everyone. Just had another insight as I’m listening to the song in my car. First time I’ve listen to it in the car and I noticed something. My car has a subwoofer in the back and I noticed the song has really intense bass. If you listen carefully with the bass up, it sounds like someone banging on the door. The wolf banging at the door. So throughout the whole song the wolf is banging at the door and trying to blow the house down.

    How my Father protected us and sacrificed when no one noticed...
    How he beat cancer the first time, and fought so hard this time too... He was still keeping the wolves away until the end...
    And how this song is my son's favorite song.... Because he knows that I am doing my absolute best to keep the wolves away...
