Confessions of a Shadow

"[This Song is for My Mother] exemplifies the depth of emotion that children have for their mothers, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia with soft-spoken lyrics that serve as a reminder to cherish them while they are still here.

With its gentle acoustic guitar, mournful violin, and subdued piano accompaniment, it creates a beautiful musical landscape to express feelings of respect, awe, and admiration toward someone who gave so much."

"[This Song is for My Mother] is a touching tribute to Catman Cohen’s mother and it is a song about his grief of losing her. He talks about how he wishes that he could tell her one more time how much he loved and appreciated her while she was alive.

He also shares the pain of not being able to say goodbye, which makes it all the more heartbreaking. The song is an emotional reminder to cherish and appreciate the time we have with those closest to us before it’s too late."
