I read the article and the lyrics and listened to the song. Good song… but I don’t get it. Meaning what’s behind all the emotion? The song itself doesn’t light a light in my mind so I’d guess there is something wanting in the relationships of the listers and their kids.
Those that miss their fathers & wish they could speak to them again have it hit closer to home. Or those that regret all the missed opportunities, & now there’s no chance of that connection again. It can go as easily for a mother or father. If all your loved ones are still with you & you speak regularly to them, maybe you just haven’t suffered that particular loss...yet.
