I'm Nathan. Licensed funeral director. 15+ years. Singer-songwriter. Two songs in the Billboard Top 20. Dad of four boys. I post what death taught me about living. Stick around if you want the stuff nobody says out loud.

Sunday night is when it hits hardest for a lot of people. The house is quiet. The week starts tomorrow. Their chair is still empty. If that's you tonight, you're not the only one. Who are you missing tonight?

Funeral director here. Ask me the question you've always been too weird to ask. I'll answer the best ones on video.

Your karaoke song plays at your funeral. Does your family survive it? Drop the song.

Funeral director here. Nobody misses a clean house. The families I sat with talked about the shoes by the door. Four pairs live by mine. I trip on them every day. I'm done complaining. What's the mess you'd miss?

I wrote a song made of the names people can't let go of. Whose name do you carry? Put it here. I read every one.

Every family has a goodbye line. "Love you, mean it." "Drive safe." "Call me when you get home." What did yours say every time you left?

I got signed. Then dropped. Signed again. Dropped again. Then two of my songs went Top 20 on Billboard. No label at all. The door you keep knocking on is never the only door. What did somebody tell you no on?

A stage of grief nobody puts on the chart. The freezer. The last thing they cooked is still in there. Wrapped in foil. You won't eat it. You won't throw it out either. Nothing wrong with you. What's in yours?

Most eulogies read like a resume. Nobody remembers the resume. They remember the weird little detail. The way he whistled at the stove. The way she signed every card. What's the detail you'd put in theirs?

What actually happens in the first hour after someone dies. There's no rush. The movies make it feel like there is. You can sit with them. You can breathe. Save this for the day you need it.

Someone told me there's a bottle of water in their fridge. He put it there to drink later. It's been 14 years. Nobody touches it. What's the thing in your house nobody touches?

Funeral director here. Every family thinks their funeral song is different. It's usually one of the same handful. Pick the one they'd sing in the car. What song would they sing in the car?

You’re allowed to grieve someone you never met. Dolly was in the room when no one else was… the drive home, the radio, the parking lot outside the hospital. That’s not fandom. That’s someone who sat with you in the dark. Rest easy. 🤍

Those are real photos of me in the casket. It almost actually got to that. The new song is about the names who kept me here. laylo.com/nathanmorris/9TLcC…

It is out. Names I'll Never Lose is officially in the world. Press play, save it, add it to one playlist. That is how a song like this survives: laylo.com/nathanmorris/qI8WV…
