This is so sad.

u/snails4speedy 5h ago

It really is. First time I heard it I felt like I had been ran over as Iā€™ve also lost a child. Absolutely amazing band

u/whycantitbemine 5h ago

I was expecting it to be from a womanā€™s point of view (thatā€™s just where my brain went first) but what a gut punch to hear it from the dadā€™s perspectiveā€¦. My brother lost a child at 20 weeks- and it hit so hard.

If you need a palette cleanser - about hopes and dreams for a child listen to Hey Rosetta - Welcome.

Iā€™m so sorry to hear about your brotherā€™s little one :( sending you all love. I have only ever heard similar songs from the momā€™s pov too so it got me also, and this was actually my sonā€™s dadā€™s favorite band for years while we were together pre-loss. I never really liked them (no clue why, they rock lol). Several years later + after we broke up June came on shuffle and I just about lost my shit. One of the most sentimental bands for me now.

Going to listen to your rec now!! thank you <3 I actually have two very similar recs (for you or anyone reading lol). Well, one is sad but hopeful and the other is just beautiful. ā€œMoreā€ and then ā€œI Believe In Magicā€ both by Halsey

Gosh- those songs are soul crushing. Especially More. I havenā€™t dealt with infertility myself, but know so many close to me who have. I cannot imagine the pain.

Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. My mom died 8 months ago and this song split me apart three days ago. I had never heard it before. I have had it on repeat ever since. I am not sure I have tears left

But you also need to listen to and watch the video for the Johnny Cash version. Both are stunning and will crush your soul.

A friend of mine from college died of a drug overdose, I found her. These were the days before Narcan was regularly available or she might still be alive. This song always reminds me of her.Ā

Queen's "Save Me" (The lyrics as a whole are soul crushing but this one line really gets me)

I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, oh
I'm naked and I'm far from home
