Not Your Mom

 

Today a second single from my upcoming album is out. It is called Not Your Mom. You can take a listen, or ten from the link below. I hope you enjoy this song!

The song was recorded in December 2020 by Mikael Hakkarainen. Alina Toivanen plays drums, Veli Kauppinen bass and Mikael Hakkarainen guitars. I play piano as usual. 

Not Your Mom
(by Astrid Swan)

At night I'm not you mom

cause I sleep

and I can't if I have to 

think of you sleeping

or bad dreams...

bad dreams

At night I'm not your mom
cause I dream
and I dance past midnight
in my black jeans
to dad's old records playing

What I keep from you
won't hurt you
behind the dark side of the moon
are all my secrets

At night I'm not you mom
cause I swim
straight into the ocean
to retrieve
all the fallen stars
so you can stick them to your ceiling

What I bring to you
is everything
all my lights and all my blues
all my dreams

What I bring to you
you can keep
how you hold it in your heart
that's on you

that's what I'll do
that's what I'll do
I make no promises that I can't keep
I make no promises that I can't keep
