I'm not sure why this coalesced in my brain but I just got thinking about songs with the word/subject 'holes' in them and these three songs, each by a different artist, immediately came to mind. All carry quite the emotional impact:
"We all got holes to fill
And them holes are all that's real"
Townes Van Zandt performing "To Live is To Fly" - lyrics for
"To Live is To Fly"
"There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes"
John Prine performing "Sam Stone"
- lyrics for
"Sam Stone"
"There's a hole in the middle of a pretty good life"
Bob Franke performing "For Real"- lyrics for
"For Real"
