There is no song more powerful than one that tells about losing a son, and there are a number of great ones out there. Songs like “The Circle of Life,” sung by Elton John and Sarah McLachlan, are powerful and help you move on from why your child left so soon. Celine Dion’s “Arms of an Angel” is also touching.

Celine Dion

Celine Dion has always been close to her French roots. Her 1997 single “Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore” topped the French charts for twelve weeks. It tells the story of a woman who wishes to return to her former lover. The song has become a staple of Celine Dion’s repertoire.

In the wake of the loss of her son Angelil, the superstar has released songs about her grief. On Thursday, the singer released an emotional song called “Recovering.” Dion’s voice quavers and is restrained. She said the song helped her heal after Angelil died in January.

Despite the tragic loss of Angelil, Celine Dion has continued to perform. Her upcoming performance at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas will honor him. But first, she must process her grief. “Recovering” is the first single from her upcoming album. This is Dion’s first English-language release since 2013’s Loved Me Back to Life. She will also perform at the Stand Up to Cancer live television event on Friday. And the singer will sing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday.

Another song about losing a son is titled “I’m Alive.” The song is featured on Dion’s seventh studio album, “I’m Alive”. The song was originally sung by Angela Lansbury in the film “Stuart Little 2.” The two musicians made the song a pop hit and won the song a Grammy Award.

James Taylor

James Taylor has a unique way of singing about the loss of a son, and his songs are as beautiful and moving as his music. While Taylor has long struggled with mental illness, this issue has been more public recently. He once spent 10 months in a Boston hospital during a depressive episode. He also spent time in a residential treatment center for heroin addiction. In the late 1960s, he was part of a rock band called “The Flying Machine” – one of his first professional bands.

Taylor’s parents divorced when he was in high school, leaving him with lifelong psychological scars. Years later, he addressed this issue in a session with a psychologist. The psychologist asked the older Taylor, “Why did you marry a woman you didn’t love?”

Though Taylor has declined to write memoirs, he has been more open about his personal struggles since losing his son 50 years ago. When Audible approached him about collaborating on a new album of covers of classics, he decided to participate. He’d lost his stepmother, his father, and his bandmate, Don Grolnick. The loss of a son and the death of a beloved friend have both impacted Taylor’s career.

Natalie Grant

Natalie Grant sings songs about grief and loss. “Held” is one of those songs. It’s about suffering, grief, and the loss of a son. The song is based on a true story. The lyrics were written by Christa Wells, who was inspired by three women. Vaneetha, whose son Paul died due to a heart defect, inspired the first verse of the song. She also shared how she felt God’s presence during her grief.

‘N Sync

‘N Sync’s song ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’ has become a vintage track, and it describes the joy and pride of being a parent. Another NSYNC song, “If You Could See My Face”, describes the pain of losing a son or daughter too soon, and what the young person could have been. Funeral songs can range from songs about babies and young children, to more mature compositions for adults.

‘The Queen’

‘The Queen’ is a song that evokes a sense of loss of control. Its lyrics, written by British indie pop singer Paul Heaton, are still resonant decades later. In the song, the Queen is depicted in a sling, with her head in the hands of judges and executed. The song is not an endorsement of the Queen’s execution, but it does have a message for those who feel she should be killed.

The song features an eerie narrator, a boy from the ‘hood, who is mourning the loss of his son. While the song does not praise the monarchy, the narrator is a lyricist with a strong stance against it. In the first verse, the Queen of England is referred to as “her very lowness.”

Queen was very close to John Lennon, so they incorporated the band’s “Imagine” into the song. Originally, the song was written about his friend Lex, a woman suffering from breast cancer. Later, the song was released as a charity single to raise funds for breast cancer research. It is a touching song about a loved one who has passed on.

Grace Potter

Grace Potter has been writing and recording songs for over a decade. Her records have gone high on the charts, she’s teamed up with Kenny Chesney for a duet, and her live performances have garnered raves. Now, she’s back with her fourth album, Daylight, which isn’t quite an album about divorce, but a beautiful document of an artist coming to terms with her past. The album has elements of classic rock, Americana, and jam band inspired flights of fancy.

The songs on Daylight paint a portrait of grief and sorrow. The instrumentation is mellow, and the lyrics are very affecting. Potter has also admitted to letting her past life get in the way of making new records. However, she’s put her life on hold in the months leading up to the release of Daylight. During the recording process, she created a Moroccan Hammam-inspired spa oasis with the money she earned from the Kenny Chesney song.

Potter’s songwriting has evolved since Nocturnals. Her vocal style has become more experimental and soulful. Her voice has changed, but her love for the Nocturnals remains intact.
