Twenty Years Gone: A Song About Adoption Loss

A heavy blues rock exploration about the very personal heartbreak of searching for a birth mother, only to discover she passed away years before. This is for every adoptee who grew up with that unexplainable emptiness, who searched faces in crowds hoping to find where they came from, and who found answers too late.

This song explores the unique grief of losing someone you never got to meet: the unrequited longing, the years of wondering, and the crushing moment when hope turns to loss. If you've walked this path, you're not alone.

Burnt Potato is my musical pseudonym for this style of music. The "Untethered" album is still being produced. Stay tuned!

I've been searching for so long
Every face I see in the crowd
Every stranger passing by..."
