Yes it was a while ago I had a big discussion on here and he was saying it was originally made for a film called Danto, (or similar) and he then dedicated it after to his son. So I'm not sure now to be honest x

Ah yes I Googled it. The song for the movie came first apparently, but a song about his son was always there, like a subconscious thing. I guess the creative process isn't that clear cut.

Apparently it's a bit of both he had it half written about his son but finished writing it with Will Jennings for a film, kind of used the film as a reason to get it finished.

I knew it was something like that. Apparently he got his inspiration from a Jimmy cliff song 'many rivers to cross' about seeing loved ones again. He vowed never to sing the song live again as it was getting to impersonal to him.

I can imagine singing such a personal song could have consequences.

Nutshell - Alice in Chains

It's so sad that he sings about wanting to kill himself and does so, not that long after.

Nick Cave - I Need You

He made this album throughout his son's tragic death. Even his voice sounds different on this album. As though he's going to break down with each word.
