It sounds like the video of Kate Hudson for “Live Forever” is deeply personal, showcasing her journey as a parent and reflecting on the passage of time. It must be quite moving to see her share those intimate moments with her son Ryder.
“It took me actually a long time to be able to sing this song,” she told Savannah. “I was really young when I had him, and what it’s like to be a young mom, and then to just only know your adult life with your child.
“Then they leave and you still feel young and you’re like, ‘What just happened? How is this even possible that he’s leaving me?’ But it’s also just like a celebration of what it is to let your children fly and go.”
That’s a poignant theme for a song. It must resonate with many parents who have experienced the whirlwind of raising children and watching them grow up too quickly.
Kate Hudson’s perspective as a young parent adds another layer of depth to the lyrics.
