Forty Two Years to a Name

“Forty-Two Years to a Name” tells the story of a childhood shaped by fear, the comfort of country music and a lifelong question about where you belong. Written from personal experience, it follows a boy who learned to protect his sisters, found love with his nanna and grew into a man still searching for his father. Forty-two years later, a DNA test brings a truth that changes how he understands his own story. Finding answers can’t give him back his childhood, but it opens the possibility of a conversation, a connection and a name. “And the boy I was would be proud, I pray.” Content note: Themes of childhood abuse, family separation and identity. #FortyTwoYearsToAName #OriginalMusic #CountryMusic #FindingMyFather #MyStory
