Melodious Music Memoirs # 3: My Mother

in #music8 years ago

5 M's. That's funny now that I look at the title's lettering. It could also stand for 5 Minutes. Sometimes that's all it takes to show appreciation, share your love and gratitude to your mother, the woman who raised you into who you are today.

This song is dedicated to my mother. I wrote it the day of her birthday as I wasn't sure what to get her but realized I never made her a song and (like most supportive mothers) she is a big supporter of my music as well as my best friend Edgar's music who provided me the lovely beat production I'm using.

I actually love the little slip ups and mistakes particularly in this video where my performance isn't the cleanest because the inflections of my voice and the minor fluctuations in stability reflect the symbolic growth of my upbringing from a young child to the man I am today. It was not always a smooth, gravel free road, as there were many ditches and rough terrains in my childhood but I persevered through the adversity with the guidance of my mother's unconditional love, which molded me into a better human being to where I can now pass these life lessons and attributes down to my children as well. It's a beautiful thing to see and witness the positive domino effect through the family generation paradigm.

This was just hilarious and it's true so I had to share. Babies don't understand the concept of the parent's fatigue so they cannot empathize and react accordingly lol it's like they have infinite energy.

If you have a mother or a mother figure, call them or visit them and create an opportunity to make another impactful memory with them. All time is valuable time.

Please enjoy the song.

FULL SONG LYRICS HERE:

My Mother

Verbal D
Chorus:
Mother
I love ya, adore ya, it's true
Place no one above ya, no other,
Can ever replace you

Happy your my mother
I love ya, adore ya, it's true
Place no one above ya, no other,
Can ever replace you

Verbal D
Verse 1:
Ever since I was a youngin'
Playing, jumping, and running
I grew up with a heart
From your unconditional loving
Your kisses and your hugging
Home meals that kept us grubbing
A stay at home mother
Who never went out there clubbing

And even when you worked, we came with you riding them buses
Me and des under your desk on
Your shirt sleeve we would be tugging
You always gave us time
Even moments when we were bugging
I'll never forget you confronting those who were mean mugging

You always have our back and best interests for better living
A never ending full cycle of unconditional giving
You're present in our lives, kindhearted, thoughtful, and driven
The best gift any child could have without the ribbons

Now that I am a father, I realize and truly see
The dedication and the guidance that children naturally need
It's hard raising a child, in your case it's more than three
I'm writing this on behalf of all five of us, truthfully

Verbal D
Chorus:
Mother
We love ya, adore ya, it's true
Place no one above ya
No other, can ever replace you

Happy your our mother
We love ya, adore ya, it's true
Place no one above ya
No other, can ever replace you oh no

Verbal D
Verse 2:
You taught me how to cook
Encouraged me to read books
Prevented me from troubles
Not living life as a crook
Was Guided by all your love
Your passion is what it took
Perfect mix of Mom and Dad is just always just how I've looked

Supportive and protective of us
A real parent, still bearing deep inside of your heart is real caring
Feel cherished, cause the children you have are still there and
We will never break away from your love, No soul tearing...

Verbal D
Transition:
Every time I think about you I wanna cry
Tears of happiness for you being here in my life
I am so thankful I am so grateful for all of your love
Mom, I hope this song is enough

Verbal D
Chorus:
Happy your my mother
I love ya, adore ya, it's true
Place no one above ya, no other,
Can ever replace you

Happy your my mother
I love ya, adore ya, it's true
Place no one above ya, no other,
Can ever replace you oh no (x2)

I absolutely loved this @verbal-d! Such a sweet all around sentiment!

Including the background and the lyrics along with the video itself really added to the experience for me. I tend to have to work to connect with lyrics/poetry, that extra framing helps me a bunch in that area. TY!

Oh and would you mind if we gave you a little extra exposure by using this or previous two songs for our intro/outro music for the Steemit Talk Podcast? We'd of course giver proper credit and link to your steemit post (and/or others.)

Thank you so much. There will be more music to arrive shortly but I'm so glad that you loved the song so much and that you could appreciate all the hard work and effort I put into the small details to help pave a journey into the hearing of my songs. It really gives me a boost of morale and determination. I definitely give you full permission to use the three songs for the podcast. I am very humbled by your asking me and the opportunity to expand my audience of listeners. You're very thoughtful.

I hope my baby boy (now 1yr) adores me this much when he's grown!

I'm sure he will. Continue to teach him unconditional love and be there for him like you still are. And enjoy the moments and memories. They grow so fast! It's a beautiful process though. Thank you for your sweet comment

awesome song as always, with such meaningful lyrics.
Great work, Keep it up!

Thank you bro, much appreciated for then positive push forward. I'll keep it moving at my best pace and cover much ground.

That's a beautiful song. You're really talented!

Appreciate the kind words and the feedback. Thank you very much. I'm glad you were able to find beauty in it. My mom loved it and cried in the middle of my performance. Mission accomplished!

Touching performance by you and great track and lyrics to boot. You keep going from strengh to strengh, bro! Keep doing what you do best!

Thank you bro, your continued and consistent support is so appreciated, I try to be grateful and give thanks in the least robotic way as possible. Especially when you are commenting on all of my songs, I'm glad this song as well has had such an impact on you. It's the reason why I make music because I know the power and affect it has. Thank you for your encouraging words.

This song very good

I think you are going to be massive here on Steemit.
You are like the perfect storm.

Thank you gonzo for your kindhearted gesture and compliment. I do hope to increase my audience, but a storm is destructive lol I know what you mean but all I picture in my head is monsoons and dark clouds and thunderous rains and shocking lightning bolts. I don't know if I want to be the perfect storm haha. Appreciate you bro.

OK, you are a recipe for disaster,
the likes of which Steemit has never known
And certainly is not prepared for.

Are we ready?
God, I hope so!

Haha all is good bro.

We love our mothers! Enjoyed your work, followed and upvoted.

Definitely, gotta give credit to our mothers. Thank you for your comment and follow. So glad you enjoyed my songs thus far.

ok i see you are connected to this domain of bees,s. You should read this I think and let me know what you think !! http://www.businessinsider.com/harvard-robobees-closer-to-pollinating-crops-2014-6

Ok I will definitely give a read and comment some feedback. Just by the title alone, I am privy to this topic already and I found it very interesting when I came across it the first time.

ok thanks @verbal-d !! this is just so wrong i feel, the wrong direction in a serious problem to my mind !!

Ok so I read the article @gomeravibz and I'm pretty sure we may have similar concerns. I personally don't look forward to thousands upon thousands of technological bees flying around that could be used for other purposes other than to help pollinate flowers and vegetative crops. They could easily be equipped with small camera and audio device and slip in through a cracked window or chimney or wherever and invade your privacy, spy on you even further than we already are spied on, and much more... So I think they should aim at rebuilding and maintaining the actual Living organism bees and their colonies to flourish and grow to a healthy number once again but it looks like they are really pushing for these robotic bees to be utilized in 10-15 years which is not so far away at all.

Yes i was sure you would see like me the bigger picture on this article !! But the plan seems to destroy the bee,s its clear and what can we do then to reverse this ?? read this one on bees dying from the recent " necessity " to spary these mosquitoes that they relaeased into the wild containing the Zika virus that they genetically inserted into their bodies !! https://www.yahoo.com/news/millions-us-bees-die-spray-fight-zika-mosquitoes-222658779.html...............this is all a plan as you see and all is connected to fit the agenda of the necessity for flying robot " spy " polinators !!!?!!

That's so good! I like it so much men ;)

Thank you very much for listening, your kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed the song.

Nice! Another fantastic track by @verbal-d !

I like the oldschool sound and flow that this carries to it. Your rhythm was on point the whole track and matched the instrumental wonderfully. Your lyrics were great, heartfelt and touching through each line. I -really- like how the hook came out! The bridge was a little choppy, but like you said - you kept it that way for a purpose. All around a superb track.

Bless!

Thank you extremely. Another great comment from @alchemage! Truly humbled by your in depth response and how you broke every detail and aspect of the song down. I'm definitely influenced and inspired by the oldschool 90s boom bap flavour of hip hop without a doubt. Lyrics and structure is very important to my music, I'm so glad you were able to bounce to this one. I'll be sure to have the next song more polished for presentation indeed, but yeah I do like the human aspect of making mistakes, can't be near-perfect all the time.
