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
