Five Sweet Songs That You Should Listen To With Your Mom While Celebrating Mother’s Day
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it is time to get into a sentimental mood to honor one of the most important women in everyone’s lives. Gifts are always a great way to express your love and appreciation, however if you are looking for a sweet and simple way to show how much you love your mom, what better way than to show it with music?
For those looking for the perfect song to play at your Mother’s Day celebrations, EAR has got you covered. Depending on your musical skills and level of comfort, you can either take these songs and create your own rendition, or leave the singing up to the professionals and have the song playing in the background as you sit back for your morning brunch. The best part? This can work for any motherly figure in your life! Whether it's your aunt, grandmother, teacher or next door neighbor, music is always a great option for expressing how you feel.
Here are five songs that should not fly under your radar this upcoming Mother’s Day!:
1. The Best Day by Taylor Swift
As the music video suggests, his song feels like the soundtrack to an old home video of you and your mother. The sweet, simple guitar accompanied by Swift’s sentimental lyrics make “The Best Day” one of our top choices to add to your Mother’s Day celebration playlist. It serves as a simple reminder that some of your best days growing up were with your parents, as Taylor Swift sings in the chorus, “but I know I had the best day, with you, today.”
On a somewhat different note from the previous option, “Tell My Mama” by Lauv touches upon a more sensitive topic in that as children grow up, they can be more rebellious and misbehaved. As Lauv sings in the chorus, “Tell my mama, that I love her, and I’m sorry for the pain”, it acknowledges how Lauv’s mother has stuck by him throughout everything that he has been through, in spite of the hardships and emotional hurt it may have put on her to see her child hurting as well. The song expresses gratitude for a mother’s difficult task of raising a child and loving them unconditionally as life throws us for multiple loops and we are faced with challenges that can make or break us.
“Mother” by Kacey Musgraves is perfect for those of us who are unable to spend Mother’s Day with the important women in our lives this year. Whether this is due to simple distance, COVID-19, or other reasons, this song is guaranteed to touch the hearts of those separated from their mothers this year. Be sure to grab your tissues however, as this is guaranteed to make you shed a tear or two.
This song is an empowering anthem to honor all of the hard work and sacrifices that a mother makes for her children. As Alicia Keys sings, “For all the mothers fighting/For better days to come...Say yes I will/Yes I can” she encourages women to keep going and inspires others to come together as a stronger unit. If you know that your mother made sacrifices for you growing up, then you may know that she is a superwoman! Playing this song for her is a sure-fire way to reach her heart and let her know that her efforts do not go unnoticed.
Although this song may not be directly dedicated to Little Mix’s mom’s, the song talks about female empowerment and self-confidence. As the chorus states, “Mama told me not to waste my life / She said spread your wings, my little butterfly”, this song is the perfect dance track to jam out with your mom! Empowering your mom is just as important as empowering yourself. After all, she may have taught you a thing or two about your own self confidence.
