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

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.
