Damien Leith Releases New Song for Mothers’ Day

Mothers’ Day will be here before you know it, and Damien Leith is celebrating with the release of a brand new single “Halfway Heart.” After a recent trip back home to Ireland, Damien discovered that the song was his mother’s favourite from his Chapter Seven album, so he decided it had to be the next single.

Damien penned the song in Los Angeles after observing a couple on a less-than-romantic date.

“Lots of different things inspired this song but especially for me it was watching a couple at dinner one night being really distant and I thought that they had lost the spark or given up on their relationship but kept hanging in there only half-heartedly,” he explained.

Damien’s just released the “Halfway Heart” clip, which was also shot in his homeland. Fans can look forward to hearing this song as Damien continues to weave his way around the country on his national tour. He’ll play the Koroit Irish Festival on April 26, and the Glenn Innes Service Club on May 3.

Remember Mum on Mother’s Day

I really hope you’re going to spend time with your mother tomorrow, or at least give her a phone call. But if you’re too lazy to do that, Warner Music’s made it easy to touch base with her.

The record label has put together a cute Mother’s Day website where you can send e-cards featuring some of her favourite singers, including Michael Buble, Josh Groban, and Patrizio Buane.

Best of all, everyone who sends a card can win a trip to Melbourne to see James Blunt. You’d just better take her along if you win!

Happy Mother’s Day!

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!
