Becoming a new dad can bring an overabundance of joy, hope… and fear. A cappella singer Peter Hollens decided to capture his feelings about bringing new life into the world in a musical way, giving fans an intimate glimpse into his personal life.
Hollens decided to write an original song for his newborn son Ashland, and it is beautiful. Simply titled "Ashland's Song," the emotional lyrics take listeners on his journey — from the moment he and his wife announce they're expecting to the first time he holds his baby. The lyrics speak of his roller coaster ride from beginning to end, conveying the unconditional love he has for his only child.
"This is a song that describes my state of mind during the time my wife was in labor, and I was awaiting my firstborn son. I wanted to write about the experience, so I will never forget this life-changing moment in time," Hollens wrote on Facebook. "Being a father is the best thing I could have ever asked for!"
Enjoy and please SHARE this beautiful song with everyone you know.
