Brandon Wisham Faces The Weight Of Loss On "Good Grief"

Written By: Big C

Grief settles in slowly, learning your name before it ever raises its voice. On Good Grief, Brandon Wisham opens a door letting silence, memory, and pain share the same space. The new single is a measured reckoning with the loss of his father to Covid. Written alongside Josh Jenkins, Josh Dorr, and Dylan Guthro, and produced by Matt Geroux, "Good Grief" captures Wisham in a moment of emotional alignment. It’s a song shaped by listening inward, searching for language where none feels sufficient. He frames grief as:

To me 'Good Grief' is a song about love - a love so extreme, without anywhere to go. We’ve all lost someone or will lose someone who’s close to our hearts. This song speaks to the struggles you experience when living without that person beside you anymore.

Instead of offering closure, the song lingers in the tension between memory and absence, allowing vulnerability to exist without resolution. As Wisham continues carving out his place in modern country, "Good Grief" feels like an important turning point. The release arrives ahead of a major spring run supporting Nate Smith across North America, including milestone stops like Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and a debut at Stagecoach.
