Gillian Welch - Happy Mother's Day

“We can’t always be with the ones we love, but that can’t stop us from saying ‘I love you.' I wrote this song one May when I was far away and couldn’t be with my mom on Mother’s Day. Then I called and sang it into her answering machine when I knew everybody’d be sitting down to eat. Here is the original home demo for the song, recorded on a portable reel to reel.” -- Gillian Welch

Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us. My mom just died not long ago. . . She was a jewel. I miss her so.

Goosebumps, tears, memories and smiles all in the span of 2 minutes... thank you Gillian and Dave!

Gillian and Dave... for, the win... again. Love yall's music more than you'll ever know.

[@dylans9336]

My daughter sent me this song yesterday as she was out of town for Mother's Day and couldn't share the day with me. Two of my other children are estranged from me and this song made me cry and brought me such joy. It was the best gift I received this Mother's Day!

Every time "Acony Records" uploads a new song video, it feels like a holiday! Thank you.

[@whalemoth]

Amen. No other musician makes me feel 1/1000th as happy as Gillian's does.

Such a blessing to hear this from Gillian and Dave. All of us here in Mississippi would so love for them to come down hear again someday soon when we get back to normal. Such beautiful song and so sweetly sung by Gillian with guitar just right by David.

[@shadowcamron]

Anyone hear the similarities to “Sorry I Love You” by The Magnetic Fields? Kept waiting for it to kick into high gear like that song does

[@lorensmith7485]

Can anyone figure out what the chords are? I’d love to play this before tomorrow!

[@franforim3553]

only 2 chords. she's in the key of A, changing to E or E7. can you hear where the changes are? that's it! you can play it in whatever key works for you, with a 1 to 5 chord change (g to d, c to g, d to a, etc.) or capo it up. good luck!

[@pelotasdad]

oooookay.... now, let’s do it in the key of C.... a bouncy C!

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Lovely. We need some news though, i gots a lot of emotional investment in you guys. BTW I love that you're mates with Patrick Stewart.

[@whalemoth]

Don't make them bear your burden. That isn't fair.
