He knows he will get through this tough time but refuses to rush it. He passionately laments about how crushing it is to lose a child, and no matter how much people insist for him to “get over it”, life is just not that simple.įorever will a giant Charly-shaped piece be missing from his heart because “you can heal a heart that’s broken because the parts are still there but when a giant piece is missing, there’s nothing left there to repair”. ![]() “Missing You” was created in honor of George Wolf’s daughter, Charly, who passed away to a fentanyl overdose in 2016. Instead of blaming his friend for his condition, or sitting in the stagnancy of grief, he channels his emotions into a powerful song in hopes that someone can hear the overarching message about the gravity of our national crisis: pharmaceutical companies have become our new dealer and we think it’s normal. What’s most notable about Macklemore’s lyrics is that not only is he lamenting about how an overdose led to the sudden and unfortunate passing of his friend, but he’s also passionately expressing how most, if not all, of us are susceptible to substance abuse. Macklemore is full of sorrow and often blames himself for not doing things differently the night he dropped his friend off because – unbeknownst to him – that would be the last time he’d see his friend alive. “Kevin” is a heartfelt tribute to Macklemore’s good friend who was like a little brother to him.
