Let’s be real—grief is grief, and anyone who’s ever loved and lost a pet knows that it cuts deep. With her latest release, "Light in the Window," emerging songwriter Rebloom Music (aka Sam Gallimore) steps up to shine a light—literally and emotionally—on a kind of grief that often gets overlooked: the grief of losing a beloved animal companion.
Written in the quiet aftermath of her Border Terrier’s passing in December 2024, this song is more than just a sad tune. It’s a gentle, honest tribute to the deep connection between human and pet—a connection that is just as real, just as meaningful, and just as heartbreaking as any other form of love. For Sam, writing "Light in the Window" became a healing process, and in listening to it, you can feel the raw ache, the quiet gratitude, and the bittersweet acceptance woven into every lyric.
The stripped-back instrumentation gives space for the lyrics to breathe—and breathe they do. Sam’s songwriting doesn’t go for melodrama or overblown metaphor. Instead, she lets the details do the heavy lifting. Lines that speak of daily rituals disrupted, the empty corner of a room, or the phantom sound of paws on the floor—all these quiet images build into a deeply moving portrait of loss. It’s understated, and that’s exactly why it hits so hard.
The guest vocalist—whose voice weaves warmth and weariness in equal measure—brings Sam’s words to life with palpable emotion. There’s no ego in the performance, just pure sincerity. It feels like someone sitting across from you, sharing their story, not to seek pity but simply because the love was that real. And that’s the magic of what Rebloom Music does so well: she writes like a storyteller, and she curates voices that let those stories live.
Musically, “Light in the Window” sits comfortably in the pop/country ballad space. Think Kacey Musgraves stripped down to her most reflective, or a Taylor Swift demo from the Red era, but with a uniquely personal focus. There are no over-polished tricks or production fluff here—it’s clean, direct, and emotionally honest. A soft acoustic backbone carries subtle piano accents and a swelling string moment that doesn’t try to overpower the message. Instead, it supports it—like a friend sitting with you in silence when words fall short.

What also stands out is how intentionally Sam has built her project around songwriting, not vocal performance. In a world obsessed with the “full package,” it’s refreshing—actually, it’s pretty damn inspiring—to see someone who says, “I can’t sing, but I can write,” and then builds a whole creative identity around that strength. And it works. Really well. Rebloom Music’s catalogue is already growing into a collection of deeply personal, emotionally resonant songs, and this new single might be her most touching yet.
With over 85K streams on Spotify, 600K+ views on Instagram, and 180K+ on TikTok, it’s clear that Sam’s storytelling is resonating. And maybe that’s because she’s not afraid to write songs about the things people don’t always know how to talk about—like pet grief, and the way it lingers in the little corners of your life long after the world expects you to have moved on.
“Light in the Window” is a song for anyone who’s ever felt that loss—the kind that leaves you scanning the hallway or calling a name out of habit. It’s for the people who light a candle, leave a spot open, or still catch themselves reaching for a leash that’s no longer needed. It’s soft, it’s sad, and it’s sincere—and in that, it’s incredibly beautiful.
Rebloom Music isn’t just writing songs; she’s writing truths. And “Light in the Window” is one that will stay glowing in listeners’ hearts long after the final chord fades.
