Don’t cry, Mom.Sakazume Misako
This is a perfect song for those who grew up in a single-mother household, or for anyone whose mom took care of most things for them.
Parents often try not to show their weaknesses to their children, but once we become adults, we start to notice—“She’s pushing herself,” “She looks tired”—and we gradually understand our mothers’ moods and how they’re feeling.
This song turns the care and concern we feel for mothers who work too hard into the simple wish: “I want you to smile.” If you dedicate this song to your mom, it will surely bring a smile to her face.
