Topic: Tribute to my Mother

I wrote this song a couple years ago, but now have the opportunity to do it justice.

It's how I believe my mother saw her life.

The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it.   - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.

Re: Tribute to my Mother

hey man, just listened to the track. really beautiful stuff. you can tell there's a lot of real feeling in it, thats what makes a song hit different imo.

i lost my dad a few years back and tried writing something about him too but could never quite get it right. hearing yours kinda makes me want to give it another shot. the way you captured that perspective of how she saw life is really cool, not just sadness but like appreciation for her whole story.

thanks for sharing this. songs like this are why i hang around songwriting forums

Re: Tribute to my Mother

really nice one, you can tell theres a lot of heart in this. the melody has a real warmth to it, kinda reminds me of some old folk stuff my mom used to play around the house. songs like these are the ones that stick with people. thanks for sharing it
