“What Mothers Do” is a heartfelt and emotionally resonant indie rock song brought to life by the collaborative efforts of Ray Van D on lyrics and vocals and Philippe M on the music. Together, they create a poignant and introspective musical experience that pays tribute to the invaluable role of mothers in our lives.
The lyrics penned by Ray Van D delve deep into the sacrifices of motherhood. The words paint a vivid picture of the selfless love, nurturing spirit, and unwavering strength that mothers possess. The lyrics are thoughtfully crafted, capturing both the joyous moments and challenges of being a mother. Ray Van D’s vocals bring an authentic and genuine delivery, conveying the heartfelt emotions embedded in the lyrics.
Philippe M’s musical composition provides a beautiful backdrop for the lyrics and vocals. The instrumentation is subtle yet powerful and breezy, blending delicate acoustic elements with upbeat percussion. The music weaves seamlessly with the lyrics, “I always knew you protected me from the coldness of the world/ the older I get the more I see how much your love is worth,” enhancing the song’s emotional impact.
Philippe M’s musical arrangement perfectly complements the introspective nature of the lyrics, creating a harmonious balance between the two. Speaking of harmony, Ray Van D doesn’t leave the fathers out, either. Though it’s a tribute to the mother, the father’s role is undeniable yet often overlooked, so he changes one chorus to “That’s what fathers do.”
“What Mothers Do” is a heartfelt tribute to our parents’ unconditional love. It’s also the perfect track for International Mother’s Day for its portrayal of the timeless bond that exists between mothers and their children.
