Listen to this when
Wonderful
When the grown-ups keep saying it's fine 🏠
Who it's for
Told from a child's view, the song captures parents splitting up while everyone around him says it'll all be okay.
Hurt and unheard→Seen and less alone
Feelings it meets
What it is
"Wonderful" is a 2000 single by Everclear and the first single from Songs from an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How to Smile. It tells the story of a divorce from a child's point of view: hearing the parents argue and trying to shut it out, pretending at school that home is fine, and acting out as the parents drift apart and start seeing other people.
