Inspired by the current sad songs thread - there was a song out a few years ago by a young, Black, British artist. The general gist of the song was that he hoped someone that he loved but who was no longer in his life was ok and happy. I thought it was incredibly moving and I read somewhere that it was inspired by an absent parent - so that broke my heart even more. But I am terrible at knowing the names of songs or remember any artists post 1999. I am hoping someone much cooler and with a better memory than me will know what the hell I'm on about.

Don't know why but just thought of Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows when I read your post. He's not British but just thought of it x

Btw….if it is the right song, he wrote it about his Dad who walked out on then when he was little.

Could it be Lynden David Hall - Medicine 4 My Pain?

Opening verse:
I was only five when daddy flew the coop and left me
All I had was tears and pain, as my sunshine turned to rain
There were troubled times, daddy only saw it on the weekend
I was growing up into a man, he didn't seem to understand

Yeah, I think this is what makes it so sad for me, because when I hear it I don't hear a man, I hear a confused and sad little boy and it breaks me.

I love this song and have heard it for years!
I've now downloaded it to my playlist. Didn't know it was about his dad 😥
