You Are Your Mother's Child; what songs remind you of mom?
May 09, 2014
Like all good children, we're spending this Mother's Day thinking about our moms. At the Current, we try to look at most things through a musical lens, so for us, Mother's Day tends to be about the music that reminds us of Mom.
One song on our playlist stood out as a good Mother's Day reminder: Conor Oberst's "You Are Your Mother's Child." The song will appear on the forthcoming album Upside Down Mountain, which comes out Tuesday, May 20 (but we'll have a First Listen preview of starting on Monday, May 12).
Oberst debuted "You Are Your Mother's Child" for us back in September, 2012 when he performed a quick studio session before his career-spanning show at the Fitzgerald Theater. We were immediately taken with the song and its endearing mother-child/growing up theme.
Give it a listen (above) and see if it doesn't remind you of dear old Ma.
