Track of the Day: Brian McGovern, ‘Hey Mom’

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Brian McGovern has just dropped his latest heartbreaker ‘Hey Mom,’ written last year after the passing of his partner’s mother, Helena.

Opening with a recording of Helena’s voice, the song serves as a reminder to cherish the memories we have of those who have passed. The single’s artwork features a drawing by Helena’s young grandson, serving as a beautiful example of how music can be used to comfort those who are grieving and help to keep our loved ones in our hearts.

“It's impossible to put into words the heartbreak and pain you feel when somebody you love passes,” McGovern explained, “so this is my attempt to try to put those emotions into a song.”

McGovern found his start on the Irish music scene as the frontman of two of Ireland’s most promising bands, The Fallen Drake and Saarloos, touring extensively with A-listers like Bon Jovi, Gavin James, Daniel Bedingfield, Newton Faulkner and more while performing on some of the country’s largest stages.

Produced by Gavin James, ‘Hey Mom,’ comes to listeners on the first anniversary of Helena’s passing, a touching reminder that music can keep the memory of our loved ones alive.
