"The Mother"

14 December 2017:
"Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind.
You're tethered to another and you're worried all the time.
You always knew the melody, but you never heard it right..." --Brandi Carlile, "The Mother"

Just spent over an hour on the phone with my sister talking about, among other things, how hard it is to be a mother. At least that was my take-away, as I listened with awed empathy of everything she does and feels for her kids.

Anyway, I had a tab open in my browser for this new track from Brandi Carlile, complete with a video of her singing it to her little girl. Turned out to be the perfect complement to that conversation.
