about

Etched in My Heart' is about a grief stricken parent. After losing a child, the father explains how a tattoo he has had to commemorate his child's life, will show the World that he will never forget her and the pure love that he has for her will always remain.

The song and it's subject matter was written and recorded with sensitivity and empathy and illustrates how parents who grieve want to speak the name of their child and talk about them.

i sincerely hope this song can be heard in the intention that it was written and that it can offer a small musical solace for anyone going through intense emotional pain, grief and loss x

lyrics

I've got a tattoo under my skin
I've got a tattoo under my skin

It shows the World I'll remember
That I'll never forget her

I've got a tattoo under my skin

I've got a picture I hold in my hand
A picture I hold in my hand

It's just a little scrap of paper
That'll I'll always treasure

I've got a picture I hold in my hand
I hold in my hand

I've got a memory in my mind
A memory in my mind

It's like an old silent movie
That plays when I'm lonely

I've got a memory in my mind

These words are locked in my mouth
These words are locked in my mouth

And no key can release them
I sure cannot speak them

These words are locked in my mouth
They're locked in my mouth

Got a river behind my eyes
There's a river behind my eyes

And that dam I won't open
Because it won't stop flowing

Got a river behind my eyes

Got her name etched in my heart
Her name etched in my heart

And while I'm still breathing
I'll always believe in

Her name etched in my heart
