I turn 37 today. Listening to this with tears in my eyes thinking of my beautiful mother. I’ve decided that my birtday should mean something to me, because to her, it meant everything. 🖤 concrete blonde stirs up childhood memories and is really a band like no other. Her voice alone…

i’m late to this comment but this is so real and beautiful. my mom loves this song and when i was little i didn’t get it (i was only into disney music and taylor swift so ofc i didn’t branch out much) but now it’s such a good song and it reminds me of my mom too and all the sacrifices she’s made for me over the craziest years of our lives. the song is wonderful and i’m glad it brings back good memories for you also i’m sorry for your loss but this is so sweet and i hope you’re having a great day stranger 🩷

It's true, the whole band's underrated but especially Johnette Napolitano. Her voice is totally unique and so powerful and emotive but she gets overlooked for far less gifted singers. If you ever read this Johnette, you helped get me through the shitshow that was my 20s and I absolutely adore you.
