“It’s a common occurrence and, for every one story you may hear, there are 20 or 30 left untold. Whilst totally understandable we, together with the stillbirth charity Sands, want to direct people to talking. 

“Many only feel able to talk to their partner about the loss, but talking to someone equally distressed can be suffocating.”

He continued: “It has to be good to talk to people outside, because otherwise that loss can overwhelm you. 

I can’t say that’s wrong, because grief has strange ways of shaping and defining you. 

“As a song, Still had to be quiet, meditative, and simple in it’s arrangement, to hopefully reflect and understand those emotions.”

‘N.K-Pop’ is out September 30 and available to pre-order now.
