A 12 months or two in the past it got here to mild via 23andMe that he had a secret daughter, which meant that my sisters and I had a secret half sibling. Discuss a wave of feelings. My dad and mom had been collectively since they had been youngsters and I simply couldn’t course of how or when this might’ve occurred. After talking with my ‘new’ sister we discovered it needed to be across the time that my dad and mom first obtained collectively which softened the information but it surely nonetheless simply didn’t sit proper with me.

I really feel for this girl discovering out that the person that she thought was her father all this time, actually wasn’t. I imply think about that… how do you strategy your mom? I actually don’t wish to get too private with my lyrics but it surely was heavy for my household and fairly present once we had been writing the file. Most likely a number of the realest lyrics I’ve ever written.”
