And everyone that I know that\u2019s heard this song has had the same reaction. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d have been able to do it justice as a reviewer as my job is to compel people to listen to artists that can move them, make them dance, sing, and ultimately connect with them.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>My reasons for this is that this song is very personal to the writers of this song, and I don\u2019t think there are enough words to be able to convey how beautiful it is, and how important that songs like this help with the healing process.<\/p>\n<p>This song is about the loss of a child at 13 weeks, Alice puts everything into this beautiful lullaby as a tribute for her own child. Neil March has played it on his show among others, and every time it just gives me goosebumps, and while his twitter thread can go a bit mad on a Saturday evening the benchmark for me is when it goes quiet when this comes on, you just have to be quiet and listen to it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is surely one of the most beautiful songs I\u2019ve heard in the last couple of years.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With Sun is the artist name of singer-songwriter and poet Alice Hale. Following in the footsteps of her father, songwriter Keith Hale (Toyah\/Hawkwind), Alice began writing when she was 13.<\/p>\n<p>Influenced by artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Bj\u0446rk and Kings of Convenience, Alice\u2019s music been described as \u201cshades of Tracey Thorn in a jam with Laura Marling while Joni Mitchell keeps score.\u201d- Neil March, aka Trust The Doc<\/p>\n<p>Guided by her distinctive voice, Alice\u2019s songs are stories of truth, hope and connection. Her lyrics express a vulnerability, allowing you to go on a journey through the intimate corridors of her life. Tender and therapeutic, often sad but beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Alice\u2019s recent projects have seen her experimenting with a more stripped back and spacious sound. Recent singles Night and Day and The Waiting Room were both Fresh on The Net \u2018Fresh Faves\u2019 and have received support from Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music\u2019s Introducing Mixtape.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thirteen Weeks &#8211; With Sun I\u2019ll be honest, I struggled with whether I wanted to review this one, as the subject matter is that raw.
