This is maybe the song I'm most proud of that I've ever written. It hasn't happened too often, but this is one of those songs that just came to me spontaneously, and I basically just wrote it down as the words popped into my head. And this is what I ended up with. It hasn't happened too often. It wasn't easy to write in the sense that some of the issues it deals with are easy to approach or deal with, but the fact that I felt so okay with being this honest and vulnerable and open was a really great thing for me. The song is loosely based around my mother's father, who left her at a very young age, and what it was like for a little girl to grow up without a dad. She never knew what it was like to have a father who loved her, and I remember as a kid myself hearing her talk about what that was like. She didn't talk about it very much, but the few times that she did always stuck with me, and this song is kind of my version of dealing with that. So again, like some of the previous songs on the album, I really hope that this is the kind of song that somebody out there needs to hear. Heartbreaking though it may be in terms of some of the subject matter, I do hope that it helps people. That's what I want the most, is the power of music as a way of proving itself so capable. I've been asked a few times about the relationship between the father in this song and why exactly he left his family and took his own life. Was that due to a selfish, conscious act, or was it because he suffered from a mental illness? And the answer is that he left his family for completely selfish reasons. He didn't actually struggle with depression or suffer from an illness, which I agree would make the line, the role of a father he never deserved, extremely cruel and wrong if that were the case. But the truth is that what the father did was to willfully abandon and disown his family, which did untold damage to this little girl who had to grow up without her dad. So yeah, hopefully that clarifies a question that several fans have asked me. I'm really proud of this song, I feel like music is rarely as honest and kind of laid bare as it has the potential of being. So this was my attempt at tackling some of those important issues that I feel like so many people deal with, you know, and hopefully leave them feeling like despite the heartache and the sorrow that seems insurmountable, it's not the end, and it's gonna be okay. That's what I want people to take away from this song. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll see you next time.
