The audios for these songs are on youtube.
The channel is called 'I like cheese'

Lydia:
My mom used to do this thing with me
Ok, it's gonna sound crazy and dangerous but it wasn't.
Maybe it was, anyway
Mom would take her foot off the gas on her way back home
On the way home from school
Skip into neutral on the top of the hill and away we'd roll
No breaking cause breaking was breaking the rules

Adam:
I used to do that on my bike
It was terrifying

Lydia:
And fun! Terrifying well that was my Mom
Mama could role play like nobody else
Pretend we were birds make nests in the house
One time she spat chewed up food in my mouth
She was free she was everything a mother should be
When nobody else believed in my
Mama would

Adam:
I'm sorry did you say she spat in your mouth?

Lydia:
Yeah cause we were birds!

Adam:
oh yeah, that makes sense

Lydia:
Mama would never accept thing just the way that they were
Mama would always see so much more
like the way she said "AH WE'RE BEING CHASED BY A MURDER!!"
As she fumbled for the keys to the door
Mama was serious about Halloween
Her costumes could make hardened criminals scream
The dads in our neighbourhood still have bad dreams
She was wild
She knew just what to say to a child
If i ever needed to see her smile
Mama would
No matter how awkward or hard
Mama would ask mama would never presume
When i used to hide and pretend
Mama would make friends with the elephants in the room
She'd want us to talk about her
Why doesn't he talk about her?
I'm sure as hell if the shoe was on the other foot
That Mama would
Daddy was never this imperious
Mama would always make him laugh
She'd say "Charles life's too important to be serious"
Then she'd throw his phone in the trash
Mama was positive Mama was pure making this darkened dad less insecure
No matter how rough we had mom would enjoy
She was fun she was bright and warm as the sun
Now i see you spirit to spirit
What if i left home but mamas still in it
I've got to find her and you are a sign that i should
Oh cause
Mama
Mama
Mama would

peace out 🤙
