Lucy May Walker released The Hardest Goodbye in collaboration with baby loss charity Tommy’s.
‘I wrote this song as a commission for a couple who sadly had numerous experiences of baby loss.’ explains Lucy, ‘It is an extremely delicate and heartfelt song that tells the heartbreaking story of losing a baby. We are working with pregnancy charity ‘Tommy’s’ to promote the song to their baby loss community and help #BreakTheSilence around this taboo subject.’
Sydney and Stevie have a complicated and agonizing history with baby loss.
‘We asked Lucy May to write the songbecause we were looking for something relatable, a song we could feel a connection to.’ say the couple, ‘We have had 2 stillbirths and 1 miscarriage, each one as painful as the other. The song is incredibly bittersweet for us and we can’t ever repay what Lucy May has given us. She has captured every emotion so perfectly yet so delicately.’
Working in association with Tommys, the aim with this track is to evoke discussion around the largely taboo subject.
