Counting Crows’ song My Heart Will Go On
“My Heart Will Go On” is a song written about loss, and it’s a beautiful one. The duo’s song is about the constant tension between one’s head and heart, and how it’s normal to feel pain after losing someone you love. The song is also a tribute to the memory of their father, who died of cancer.

“A Long December” by Counting Crows is another song written about loss and grief. The lyrics are full of sadness but also offer hope that the person you lost has a better place. Ultimately, it is important to remember that life goes on after the grieving process.
