    My middle son. A musician. Plays this song for me. He was so rebellious. Always doing the opposite of what I wanted for him. But I never stopped loving him. He is handsome, tall, smart, daring. Lives his life. Found a great girl who gave him a beautiful wild daughter just like him. But looks just like me. When he gave me my grand daughter he was so proud because I demanded one of my boys to give me a girl to love. And oh I do love her. They grow a garden together. Makes my heart shine to see how amazing. Rebellious sons become amazing fathers. And love us moms forever.

      My wife and I had a rebellious son. Oh the countless nights we couldn't sleep, worrying over his safety. He also found a girl who loved him, and gave him a beautiful daughter and son. The relationship didn't work out, although they remained close friends. Our son and another friend were brutally murdered last May during a home invasion. Thankfully, his babies were spending the night with their mother when the break-in occured. They were actually scheduled to stay with their daddy that night, but he asked their mom to keep them because he needed to clean his apartment. My son and his older sister attended an Iron and Wine concert together at the Ryman in Nashville, TN. This song is my daughter's favorite. The man charged with our son's murder will stand trial in June. My daughter thought this song would comfort her mother and me. And she was right. At least now we know our son is safe. Thanks for sharing your story.

      @@Gabsi1414 Thank you for your kindness. I'm grateful to report that the shooter changed his plea on the second day of the trial from "not guilty" to "guilty". The result was he was sentenced to two life sentences, and lost his right to any future appeal by his guilty plea. He will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. There was an accomplice who will be tried at a later date. Thanks so much for your concern.

    To me, this song sounds like a son visiting his mother’s grave and while reminiscing about the past also telling her that he finally straightened out his life and that the son himself is becoming a farther and this puts his rebellious behavior in perspective

      I think your analysis is pretty spot on. This song is so somber it first sounded to me like him reminiscing on times with his mother as a young boy, and then later on it switches to him in the present now, telling his mother about his life. Beautiful song

    LYRICS
    Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
    Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
    Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
    Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?
    So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
    Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain
    Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
    Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
    Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
    Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
    So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
    Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain
    Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
    Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
    Mother remember the night that the dog got her pups in the pantry?
    Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
    And you cried 'til the morning
    So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
    Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain

    I guess it's a good thing I don't drink anymore. I'd be sitting here drinking to an entire playlist of these songs "woulda, shoulda, coulda" -ing my entire life while wishing I was never born. If anyone out there is doing that right now, just know that someone wants you alive even if 95% of people want you dead. I want you alive. You might not think you matter, you might not want to take the pain anymore, but someone out there will feel just as bad if you end it. If you're still reading this, that means you're considering life. Please stay. We all need company from time to time anyway. I can't stop the suffering, I can't take you're suffering from you (though if I could, I would), I don't know when it will stop, but I know that one day it will end. Everyone dies eventually, but if you end it before your time, you won't get to see if it ever gets better. You won't get to see any of the little good things that may come across you. Trust me, I still feel like shit, but every now and then, even if it's short-lived, I see good things. I wanted to end it just like you. It's not cowardly to live, it takes more strength to live with the pain then to stop it. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and walk. I know you can live because you got this far. Live for those who can't. Life is a struggle, but it's a worthy one. Oh, and one last thing... if anyone tells you to kill yourself, give them a big "FUCK YOU" from me.

    My mother suffered a stroke Monday. Luckily, she is alive and can walk and talk. A few days in, I notice that she has a lapse of memory; sometimes, she has trouble remembering my birthday and my name. We have had our ups and downs, but whenever she doesn’t know her son’s name, I have this deep pang of regret. I could’ve been so much more lenient with her. I should’ve listened more often. There are days I see the woman I knew, the one that raised me. Other times, there is very little light that showed the woman that molded me, good or bad. I love you mom. I’m sorry.

      I feel for you. My mother had glioblastoma (brain cancer) and as it progressed she was less and less able to speak and understand what was happening. I remember holding her hand one day when she was so sick that she was completely unable to interact with me. She just stared at me and held my hand tightly. I had no way to know whether she recognized me -- I just had to hope she did. I was 14 then and too scared and embarrassed to say in front of all the nurses and family that I loved her, and now I regret that so much. This song makes me think of her. Going through something like that is so hard, and I don't believe anyone can understand except those who have survived something similar. I sincerely hope you and your family are well.

    • @aphexmandelbrot
      @aphexmandelbrot ปีที่แล้ว

      This isn't a happy song, though.
      So you nailed it there: It's ... "Don't worry about me mom," and then the exposition of a bunch of things that they could be worried about followed by an apology the singer feels like they added nothing to their mom's life (traded your car).
      "the creek drank the cradle you sang to" is alcoholism.
      and the line you quoted sets up the line about the dog --
      "coat and some friends on the corner / planting together" is a reference to being homeless.
      the dog and the pups is a referencing that in that it's not an ideal situation.
      estranged or a fuck up, it is a superb song.

    I flew over the mountain when I was 17 and never truly made it back--at least not all the way. I found myself by mom's bedside fifteen years later, newly engaged, educated, on the fast track to my profession. My hair had changed. I had a beard. But I was still her boy. I think she breathed easier for a while before I whispered those words into her ear, before she climbed across her own mountain. Goodbye, Mom.

    We used to sing for my mom a lot when we were home. She loved everything we performed for her, and I think we inherited our musical passion from her.
    When she was on her last legs in palliative with complications from cancer, she was in a medically-induced coma. They said hearing is the last sense to go.
    We sang to here there too, and told her she was surrounded by love.
    Now, when I go to see her, in her plot in a small cemetary just outside our town overlooking a cliff, I will bring this and sing it to her as well.
    I miss her so much.

    About 8 years ago I was going through a really difficult time watching my mom have to deal with a verbally abusive boyfriend. I remember nights listening to this song in my room sobbing. As things got better with time, I forgot about this song.
    Now I'm going through another rough patch - my mom is disabled and is in severe pain every day, and I'm her caregiver. This song popped into my head and I came back to it instantly and started to sob. It's amazing how this song seems to come to my mind any time I need it most.

      I am in the same situation you're at, friend. My father is an abusive alcoholic. Everytime I listen to this song, my heart gets torn wide open because of how much it means to me, and how much she has protected me and truly cared about me. Moms will always be there, always loving, worrying, forgiving, trying... And the only person who never gave up on me was mom. And sometimes, they are all you have in this world. Now, my mother is disabled and in pain, and I do everything I can to give back because of all that she has given me. Always, she tells me that I am her baby, and that her children ARE her world, and that itself just makes me break down so much.

    Me and my wife just heard this song for the first time about a month ago, it was introduced to us threw one of my daughters friends, my daughter disappeared in the middle of the night about a year ago, no warning sign no contact, a friend of hers knew what happened and told us later. she had just turned 19, ran away changed her name and gender... everything about her. My wife was devastated, they were like best friends, did everything together. My wife spent a year now in heart ache. This song struck my wife and I hard. Our daughter called us for the first time the other night and a few times after, scared, sad, and homesick, we begged her to come home but she kept saying she had to ask. The next few calls was her but not her, like someone watching over her. We’ve sent police to where she is but they said as long as she chooses to be there they can do nothing, my wife is continuing to keep contact threw text. So May the sunrise brings hope where it once was forgotten

      several takes and one hell of a producer on this song at least, whomever they may be. the live version is not nearly as emotive. live it sounds more like a melodic grocery list with more clarity, but also more emphasis where there doesn't need to be and too many other tonal redundancies. you know, it's not really a song meant for all times. it's meant for specific times and places, and every time someone requests it out of time or it's played out of place it loses some of it's power. it's not a jukebox tune, it only needs to be played once to serve it's purpose. you can sing it without losing yourself if you've played it to extinction
