I heard it today too - sobbing in the car! Just so beautiful and emotive for those of us that have lost babies x

Beautiful. 💔 Small Bump by Ed Sheeran is another about pregnancy loss.

Lost my baby in August at 33 weeks. My heart is breaking listening to that song. I will never get to see my daughter dancing or smiling. She will never get to experience this beautiful world or know how much we love her and how dearly she is missed.

@jezza1234 I am so sorry. Absolutely devastating.
14 years ago I lost my Baby. Song is beautiful.

I lost my baby girl at 24 weeks 30 years ago, I watched James Blunt sing this yesterday and found that tears were dripping off my face, beautiful and poignant song

I'll have to listen to this song.

Bigger Than The Whole Sky by Taylor Swift is rumoured to be about a miscarriage

Apparently he wrote it about a friends baby who died when she was a few days old. Heartbreaking song

We lost our little girl at 31 weeks 10 years ago. It was brutal and painful beyond anything I could have imagined. It is amazing though now how much comfort that pain brings. Every time I cry it reminds me how much we love her and nothing can take that away. The other song that springs to mind is 'Let me go' by Gary Barlow about the stillbirth of his daughter. Xxx

It is a beautiful song and allows me a few minutes to have a sob.

WhyMeWhyNowWhyNot · 08/11/2023 11:11

I absolutely adore this song - he has captured every single thing we felt when we lost our babies. It’s beautiful but heartbreaking x

AnnaBegins · 08/11/2023 11:13

It is gorgeous, I'm loving how his album feels so relevant to me in mid life humdrum world.

Another beautiful song about baby loss is Carriage by Counting Crows

Kaftanesque · 09/11/2023 14:33

Apparently it's deeply personal in that James and his wife lost a daughter.Its a very beautiful song and even though I've never gone through the pain of losing a baby 30 plus years ago my DB and his wife suffered the stillbirth of their son.And a close friend too .It had made me cry for all the grieving parents and so thankful for the safe delivery of our latest DGC.

What a beautiful but heartbreaking song
