Songs about losing your mom

Four songs written from the same loss. Not comfort exactly — just someone saying out loud the things people carry quietly after their mother is gone.

  1. Your Number's Still in My Phone
    Calling her number just to hear the voicemail. The one most people find first.
    Lyrics Song →
  2. Stones Inside My Chest
    For everyone who still has their mom's number saved, knowing she will not answer.
    Song →
  3. More Than One Road
    Losing a mother to cancer, and the decision to keep walking anyway.
    Lyrics Song →
  4. Mama I'm Still Here
    Telling her what happened since. Addressed to someone who cannot hear it.

Why these are written in small details

Grief songs fail when they reach for the general — "I miss you", "you were everything". These do the opposite. A contact that never gets deleted. A kitchen that is too quiet now. An argument you would take back just to have it again. The detail is what makes it yours instead of a song about somebody else.
