Hello my fellow music lovers in the Hive Open Mic community! I'm here with another entry for the special theme of this week "Gift To Mum". A theme that will reminds us of "A Mother's love".
Mother's Day passed by like every other day for some but for some, it was one of the days to be reminded that their mothers have done a lot for them and some show a little appreciation through gifts, outings and even singing to them.
The meaning of the theme that fits my song choice perfectly is... "Our parents deserve our love too, after the love they've shown us growing up especially in their old age" and my song choice is "Kids" by Sasha Sloan, song that expresses that our "parents will become kids".
As much as we appreciate our mothers for their love, I always tend to think of my father too when I want to do something as a little appreciation to my mother. They have both impacted my life in many ways and I know some day, they will be no longer able to be as strong as they are now.
Sasha, in the first solo of the song directed it to her dad for all he did to save his sick father. Promising to take care of him like he did to his own father because she knows he will one day become like a kid that she has to take care of.
In the second solo of the song, it's directed to the mother, thanking her for the restless nights she had to go through just to make sure her children were fine and safe. Buying what she wants and taking care of her when she can no longer care for herself is a responsibility she will gladly take.
And there's also the bridge of the song that is like a prayer, hoping that our own children will take care of us when we grow old. I believe this is everyone's prayer and it's really the best gift one will give to his or her mum. So listen to the song.
The song is on a low pitch but I tried to sing it and bring my voice out to be heard. Let me know what you think about the song and any correction in the comment section. Until the next week!
