Hindsight (Morgan's Song)

from Journey to Freedom by Devon Welch

/

about

This song was written after Devon's partner at the time (Morgan Rowe) and unborn child (Lola) tragically passed away after medical complications

Coming home to discover them after work one day- This event sent him on one of the most hardest growth spurts of his life. Grieving almost none stop for the best part of a year, and carrying it with him till this very day- This is where he was forced to look into the nature of the universe and connect with spirituality- a concept which he had been playing around with thanks to her and Maria Calvert.

This song sings to Morgan after her passing thanking her for opening his eyes to what love truly is. Realising that it wasn't just something she gave to him, but something he had within him the whole time. Whilst also stating his feelings of how fucked up and angry at the universe he felt for involving him in this experience

lyrics

Sometimes i wonder, what should i really do?
With my life, cause it's hard not to think of you
You were carrying my daughter, i would've seen it through
To be the proudest of dad's, would've been a dream come true
So many gifts you gave to me, in our short while
Love nothing more to see your smile and soul
But now you've crossed that line
This shit sucks it's just fucked i'm about to lose my mind
From this pain that i've felt
I guess it's just the hand that we were meant to be dealt
But no doubt thes kinds of things go and work themselves out
Look at me now, used to hardly even believe in myself
It's been, too many months since she was taken away
Left with me memories sealed with scars from the pain
What's the name thats to blame, when i'm screaming in vain
And my hearts falling out, while i dance in the rain
Of my own tears i realise my own worst fears are present
Your lives to me are worth much more then living
But there's your voice again telling me to push my limit
Chase my dream, find my truth and just live within it
It must of been a test cause at best i invest
More of my time onto each and every line to express
What you mean to me, none will ever guess
I have dreams streaming flying from this life to the next

Being without you makes me sick to my stomach
Overrun by the memories can't think nothing of it
As i grasp, yeah i try to hold on
Feeling both of your losses
We've been robbed now it seems, that i lost ya
It's hard to see the light, especially when it's dark
Won't ever let that stop me go forth to make my mark
Would've gave my life for yours, it's that which i had done though
Secretly you knew i was hoping for a son
You made me feel the butterflies from deep inside but now i've cried
A million times, creating tides, thinking that we just waste our lives
Dwelling on that shit, that doesn't even matter
It's a brighter day if you relax your thoughts and gather
The things that you hold most dearest to your heart
Wishing wells are ourselves chilling out among the stars
At least the break was clean, right when were ripped apart
Like a cloudy shadowed dream, yeah this too shall pass

It must of been a test cause at best i invest
More of my time onto each and every line to express
What you mean to me, none will ever guess
I have dreams streaming flying from this life to the next,
Come on

What keeps my heart pumping inside of me there's something
That tries to tell my mind all these trials they aren't for nothing
So time just passed me by, i grew without your comfort
Till i finally realised i'm aligned with life's circumference
My precious baby girl was brought into this world
Just to take you back home, yeah i know that sounds absurd
Not never in my life would i expect this
Forward most position that derives from my consciousness
Never again will i second guess, this here is a test
To do my best to create memories of love, and best dish up
All the positive things i can think of
Feel it's finally time for my to spread my wings and fly

It must of been a test cause at best i invest
More of my time onto each and every line to express
What you mean to me, none will ever guess
I have dreams streaming flying from this life to the next
