Poss sensitive - To think this DJ was ridiculous and tell the radio station?

[WelshMaenad]

Driving about this afternoon and my local radio station played "Small Bump" by Ed Sheeran. As you may know, this is about a baby who was stillborn at four months, which is revealed at the end if the song (lyrics " you're just a small bump unborn for four months, then torn from life. Maybe you were needed up there, but we're still unaware as why). I don't expect EVERYONE to know this, but would expect someone who plays songs for a living to be aware.

The DJ came in after the song finished and said (paraphrasing) "Awwww, that's such a cute song, playing that for everyone who is pregnant at the moment!". Which, bearing in mind it's about someone LOSING a baby, is pretty fucking insensitive.

AIBU to think that she should have been aware what the song was about (or maybe just bloody listened to it properly as she played it?) and WIBU to contact the radio station, not in a 'disgusted of Tunbrudge Wells' way, more to say look, she really ought to know better, and this could have caused upset, you might want to ensure it doesn't happen again and hire more intelligent DJs

I've also heard Small Bump being dedicated to pregnant people on the radio, and was a bit when I heard the DJ. I mean it's pretty obvious when you listen to the song, the music stops and he almost speaks the lines.

I had the Angel song at my daughters funeral. It doesn't really matter what the intent of the writer was, the words were very appropriate to my daughter and her situation and DH and my situation. We had Billy Joels Lullaby at my sons funeral, equally with that one, i found lyrics relevent to him and didn't really care what the song was actually written about. Music is interpreted in different ways by different people.

I vaguely remember Chris Moyles during one of his final shows mentioning playing it for all the pregnant women listening. It did make me go

missymoomoo has it right. Music is interpreted in different ways by different people It's what you make of it.
