Hey Mom is a song written last year for Brian’s partner after the passing of her Mother, Helena. A recording of her voice was used at the beginning of the song. Brian’s young son, her grandson, created the artwork for the single.
The song was produced by Irish singer Gavin James. They decided it would be very poignant to release it on Helena’s first anniversary, April 12th.
The track serves as a reminder to cherish the memories we have of those who are no longer with us. It’s a beautiful example of how music can be used to keep the memory of loved ones alive and bring comfort to those who are grieving.
“It’s impossible to put into words the heartbreak and pain you feel when somebody you love passes, so this is my attempt to try to put those emotions into a song”.
