A song for your mum, made of what she actually did

Everything she did that nobody wrote down. Put it somewhere she can play it whenever she wants to hear it again.

A mother in a yellow cardigan in a bright white kitchen wiping her eyes and laughing at the phone in her hand, her grown son hugging her from the side, yellow flowers and a blue kettle on the bench.

Most of what a mother does is never written down: the lifts to every practice, the kitchen radio, the exact tone she used for your full name. A personalised song for your mum puts those things in verses, with her name in the chorus and, if you like, your brothers and sisters in it too. It is not a generic tribute to motherhood. It is about the woman who kept the receipts in the biscuit tin and rang you the evening you sounded quiet.

You answer a handful of prompts about her in your own words, read the lyrics and correct anything she would correct, then hear two full recordings and keep the one that sounds like her. It arrives as a private page she can play as often as she likes, with an MP3 for the car. Made for Mother's Day, her birthday, or the year you finally noticed what she did.

What to write

Story prompts for a song about your mum

You don't need to be a writer — answer two or three of these in plain sentences and the lyrics will do the rest.

  • A sound, a smell, or a room from childhood that's still them
  • Something they said so often you can hear the exact tone
  • What you understand about them now that you didn't at fifteen
  • A sacrifice you only spotted years later
  • What you've inherited — a habit, a phrase, or a temper
  • What you'd want them to know you noticed
