Parental Abandonment/Music

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Parental Abandonment in Music include:

  • "Mother" by John Lennon, where he addresses the pain, sadness, and anger caused by losing both his parents. (His father left him as an infant, and his mother was killed by a drunk driver when he was 17.) He wrote two other songs about his mother: "Julia" and "My Mummy's Dead".
  • Tyler, the Creator from OFWGKTA made a whole album called Bastard about being a literal bastard because his father abandoned him.
  • The Kellie Pickler song "I Wonder" is Pickler addressing her birth mother, who abandoned her.
