Mother’s Day
A Mother’s Day song from a son, for everything he forgot to say
Most sons call on Mother’s Day, say the usual and hang up. Three honest lines turned into a two-minute song say the rest, and she can play it again whenever she misses you.

A real Mother's Day song from a son
"Every Thursday with Linda" came from three plain facts: nine winters of early hockey practice, lemon bars in the mail, and a grandmother who now teaches card games.

Lines a son can actually write
- The meal she made after every game, win or lose.
- The time she drove a long way to get you out of trouble.
- What she said on your first day of work, school or college.
- Her rules, and which one you now follow with your own kids.
- The thing you never thanked her for.
- One sentence about her laugh.
Let the song be the sentimental one
You do not need to write anything gushing. Plain facts are enough, and the melody does the emotional work. A single line like she came to every game for nine years gives the lyrics plenty to build on.
Style and voice
A male voice makes it sound like it is from you. Country and acoustic pop are warm without being heavy; a piano ballad suits a mom who cries at weddings and enjoys it.
Getting it to her
- Play it at Sunday lunch before dessert.
- If you are far away, call first, then send the MP3 while she is still on the line.
- Put it on in the car on the way to her favorite restaurant.
