My daughter was born in Jan 2018. She was rushed to intensive care and had a heart op. 5 months later another one and she ended up on life support. We were told it was 50/50 chance of survival as it was the 5th day. This was at Bristol Children’s hospital. At one point there were 18 medical staff around her bed. She made it. This song breaks my heart.

My son was born 3 month early and this song is a full musical representation of his first year of life on this planet which was spent in a plastic box with wires running in and out of him in hospital.

My daughter was born 2 1/2 months early, and I agree. It describes perfectly what having a baby in the NICU is like.

Same with my brother. We were told he'd never walk, talk, eat, play or think for himself. We were told he'd have very severe cerebral palsy. He's 11, now plays sports and video games just like any other kid. The only reminder of his violent birth is a scar on the side of his face.

The emotion of a song, our youngest was rushed into hospital at 2 weeks, the time I thought we’d lose her when her temp went to 41c. She’s fine now, bouncing , a non specific illness. We listened to the eagles but the song doesn’t matter, it’s the emotion it instills.

As others have said this song brings home many emotions as my son was born two months prem. The first night after an exhausting day I came home alone with my wife in one ward and son in NICU, this song came on and despite knowing it before the words hadn't resonated until then and this pretty much sums up the early days. Pleased to say he's five and doing very well 💪🏻

What a beautiful song... Filled with so much emotions. A beautiful inspiration for the song also; watching your premature first born child inside an incubator with wires attached on it's fragile body.. Seeing tears running down it's tiny eyes, and crying yourself because you are so afraid and uncertain (scared of the facts). Running up and down the hospital corridors.. And finally seeing the light of hope as the child opens it's eyes and looks at you.
