This week, we highlight Miles Hardt and his powerful new single, “Watered.” This track serves as an emotional tribute to his late father and poignantly captures Hardt's journey through grief and healing.
Miles invites anyone who resonates with his experience to join his journey, fostering a sense of community through his music. This reflects a beautiful use of his platform and the deep connection he shares with his fans.
The cover art for “Watered” tells a particularly touching story. Hardt discovered a photograph of his father spraying him with a sprinkler in the yard just as he was searching for the artwork for his single.
"I found this picture of him watering me in the yard the day I looked for the cover art for my new song ‘Watered,’ coming out on Monday. These strange coincidences are happening more often than I can count. Happy tears are the only ones shed," Hardt shared on his Instagram.
Miles uses his music as a means to transition from dark times to brighter ones. This message is especially powerful for anyone experiencing the pain of losing a loved one, offering a welcoming community to those in mourning. We salute Miles Hardt and send our best wishes to him and his family. He is one of the most emotionally determined and resilient artists we have highlighted on this platform, and we are grateful to continue following his journey.
