It’s mother’s day, the day that all good children spoil their mums. I’ll be doing just that, making the drive down the Pacific Highway to have lunch with her, and my grandma. While we spent a lot of my teenage years wanting to kill one another, today I’m lucky enough to consider Mum one of my best friends. I don’t always want to hear what she has to tell me, but I always know where I stand with her. She shares my passions for live music, good wine, and sparkly jewellery. She’s a lot of fun to be around, and I’m definitely looking forward to our lunch.
Anyway, I got to thinking about Mother’s Day, and what songs might be appropriate to share with you before settling on Bachelor Girl’s “Buses and Trains.” How I miss Bachelor Girl. This is one of the most honest songs about a mother-daughter relationship that I can think of it. It’s not overly sappy or sentimental, and thus comes closer to real life than most of the mother songs around. So enjoy this one. And if you are a mum, I hope you have an awesome day!
