No Picture Zac Wanna Be	#1 by Zac Fielder at Nov 19, 1989 at 3:22 AM EST
	Wow, I cried when I listened to this song. It's truly beautiful. I feel so sorry of anyone who has to go through that serious loss. It's amazing how he manages to describe that series of emotional changes that a person goes through. The happiness of knowing she's pregnant, to the sadness with the loss.

No Picture Natalie Average	#2 by Natalie at Oct 4, 1997 at 5:34 AM EST
	I don't think he ever did divorce, but I never knew that his wife miscarried their first child, I just thought this song was about his daughter, Banjo. However, the miscarrying idea does make sense. Great song musically. 1

No Picture Cailan Average	#3 by Cailan Shotkoski at May 6, 2007 at 3:07 PM EST
	I think this is about John and his ex-partner. I think she miscarried their child, and in the song he is saying how hurt they are to lose him but so grateful for how it changed them
