I loved it. I thought this song could be apart of weddings and I also could see it used much like the I hope you dance
It gave me chills I think that she is great
Lauren’s “Like My Mother Does” is as great as Carrie’s “Mama’s Song” and it reminds me of my own mother, God rest her soul. With a couple of minor changes in the wording, the song would be very appropriate for a man to sing about his own mother.
While I’m at it, Lauren’s “The Climb” has a powerful message very similar to Carrie’s “Play On.” It’s the playing on, the continued climbing, that’s important because life’s challenges just keep on challenging. They don’t stop.
