'Mother' refers to 'Mother Earth', and the song is one of my strongest to date. The topic is about how we treat our only Mother Earth against better knowledge, and how we egotistically are stealing our children's future.
I really had to cross some of my hardest personal principles in creating this video, cigarette smoking being one of them. I also spent an entire day trying to create fake blood in order to make it look like I had killed my treasured dog, Joy, to use her fur in vain. That scene is my worst nightmare, and shooting it felt very uncomfortable. My hope is that the song, the lyrics and the video will have an impact on how we think and act towards our only planet and home. I believe that if we treat each other with respect and love, including the environment, the animals and all people, the world will be a better place. I want to thank Greta Thunberg for her important work, and for much inspiration to create this video.
Below are the lyrics. The song is written by Rhyan Shirley, David Thulin and myself, and it is produced by David Thulin. Video production by Mathias Fossdal. Special thanks to the actresses for excellent performances in the video: Oline Hoff Kristiansen for playing the little girl (next generation), and Rita Nøkleby for playing the role of Mother Earth. Please enjoy: 'Mother'🌍
'Mother'
By Trine Rein / David Thulin / Rhyan Shirley
V1:
Oh I know my mom is getting older
her knees are just too weak to hold her
and it’s my job to take care of her
But the smoke is just too sweet to kick
Mom will understand I did my best
As I light up beside her bed
Pre:
Every puff is laced with selfishness
I could but I don’t want to quit
Ch:
I swear to God that I love my mother
I swear To God That I love my mother
Once she’s gone I can’t replace her
Yeah I promise you that I love my mother
V2:
I know she needs to get some air
So I take her to the ocean where
the oil stains can soak her hair
And as the cancer starts to spread
I put plastic down to line her bed
It’s bad but who cares once she’s dead
Pre:
My convenience is priority
My excuses reign like a tyrant king
Ch:
I swear to God that I love my mother
I swear To God That I love my mother
Once she’s gone I can’t replace her
Yeah I promise you that I love my mother
Br:
I know that time is running out
And my kids will suffer from my doubt
But I’m just way too comfortable to change
Ch:
I swear to God that I love my mother
I swear To God That I love my mother
Once she’s gone I can’t replace her
Yeah I promise I still love my mother
At least I think I love my mother
This is me, Trine Rein:
TRINE REIN
Norwegian/American singer/songwriter/artist
I was born (not so horribly long ago!) in San Francisco, and at one, my mother took me to Norway where I grew up on the countryside a little south of Oslo. The first language I could understand, was American, and the first language I could speak, was Norwegian. My musical heart has always been drawn back to my roots, so most of my music has English lyrics.
I write a lot of my own material now, but in the earlier days of my career, I never viewed myself as a songwriter. I guess it took some maturing and a few years of life experience to get to a place where I could trust in my own abilities to compose my own music and lyrics. Since I never took any interest in learning how to play an instrument, I always depend on other musicians and writers to help me put together new song material. It has given me some incredible opportunities to work with amazing people and writers through the years, and I am blessed to look back on a long and fulfilling career.
To me, there is only two kinds of music: good music, and bad music. I don’t care so much about getting stuck in one genre, I just perform music that speaks to me regardless of the origin. I draw the line at cursing in my lyrics. I see no reason to call on the darker side to express myself, and I always try to keep my focus on the light. I know the light, and I also know the darkness.
Asides from my loving family and friends, the most important asset in my life is my loyal followers and audience. Without you guys, there would be no me. I honestly don’t know what I would have become in life if it hadn’t been for you. Making a living in the entertainment business is a rough road, and I admit that I have sometimes wondered how else I could be making a living. I always get back to this: I really don’t know what else to do, so I guess I’ll just continue to do what I love the most: To sing! 🎶
