Mason Jennings- “The Field”
This is one of my favorite songs of this year. It captures the heartbreak of war perfectly, essentially about a parent losing their child. This part of the song kills me every time:
If I was the President, if I was that man
I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand
If I was the President, if I was that brave
I would take a shovel, then dig each child their grave
If I was the President, and my world turned black
I would want no victory, I’d just want you back
