For Anyone Who's Ever Had a Mother

Go to www.myspace.com/passingstrange and listen to the song "Love Like That" (it's the first one in the player).

This is a snippet of Stew's original version, which appeared on his album Something Deeper Than These Changes. It's different from the version in the show, but it's beautiful. Haunting really, if, like me, you're only regrets in life involve things you've said or done to hurt your mother. But--and this is the song's brilliance--it's also healing. Lets you know that, no matter how bad you think you could've been, your mother's love is strong enough to shift continents.

The original version of "Love Like That" is available on iTunes, in case you're interested. A bowl of roses and a CD with only this song sounds like the perfect Mother's Day gift to me.
