Back towards the end of pregnancy with my son, there were a couple of songs that stuck with me that I decided were songs that he liked from within the womb. This was one of those songs. I still have never listened to another song by this band, but I sing it to him every night.
It is not really a love song, definitely not a song for a child, but it is one of my songs for him. I had a two day labor with him, it was a very long and intense experience. It’s hard to describe the mixture of sleeplessness, hormones, drugs, and absolute beyond anything I’ve ever felt love I was experiencing. I hear this song and I’m just taken back to those middle of the night wakings, walking around with him, so utterly in love.
