You Would've Loved Him

You Would've Loved Him is one of the most personal songs I've ever written.

It's a letter to my dad, filled with all the things I wish I'd said while he was still here. It's about love, loss, regret, gratitude, and learning to live with the space someone leaves behind when they're gone.

A year after my dad passed away, my son was born. They never got the chance to meet, but I know in my heart they would've adored each other. This song is built around that thought, imagining the relationship they never got to have, and wishing I could have seen it for myself.

Written as an intimate piano ballad, every lyric comes from a real place. It's for anyone who's lost someone they love, anyone carrying words left unsaid, and anyone trying to keep a memory alive through the stories they tell.

Sometimes the people we miss most never really leave us. They live on in the lessons they taught us, the people we've become, and the generations that follow.
