Cat Clyde - Mama Said (Official Video) 

This song makes me think of my older sister. My mom was at rock bottom, spiraling in drug addiction and prostitution and 3 of us were suffering the consequences of that. My sister about 20 years older than me took us one night. She asked us if we wanted to leave that place, and all of us with wide - happy eyes said yes! Her and her boyfriend packed us into a little car and drove us that night from California to Michigan. No looking back. It saved our lives from following suit. Sometimes you gotta listen to what "mama" says- whoever that is to you. Sometimes you gotta be "mama" and climb out of the depths with nothing but a bag to your name. Sending healing and love to anyone reading this. Thank you for this song.

Really gnaws at what it's like to be a child and having to deal with the fallout of adult problems... from the eyes of a child. Love it.

My dad was heavy into drugs and my mom was trying to distract us from noticing. She packed us up one night and we moved into a hotel to get away from him. This song resonates with me so much. Reminds me of not knowing what to expect and following your parents around aimlessly. Thank you for the beautiful healing song! 🎼I think about it all the time!! 🎶

The tone on the slide is tremendous. Fits her voice and the mood of the song perfectly.

This song reminds me of my dear son that passed away , and this was the last song that he asked me to listen and I'm still listening love it thank 💯💔💜✝️ .

You captured my life as a mother of three in a completely toxic relationship of 15 years. . I'm moved to tears by this. I love my children so much. And all that ever mattered was my children and me making sure we left and just as long as we had each other it was enough.... getting away from such horror.. a lot of going back later. Then it would be the same again. Memories flood my mind in hearing this song. Happy ones, some hopeful, some sad and regretful... in the end it worked out We stayed gone. My babies They're my world. I've sent this to them in knowing they will get it. Great song. You are lovely.

Using as my soundtrack for my life right now! I love this woman's voice! Simply amazing

I changed schools 14 times while growing up thanks to my mother's addictions. I heard a different story with every move. "Abusive boyfreind, bad landlord, bad friends, 'just gotta get out of this town', etc." Things may have changed for her every time, but the only thing that changed for me was the piggy bank of my childhood lost a dollar with every move, and I was slowly robbed of a normal development and lifelong friendships. This song is a soundtrack for my youth. I'm still not a normal man, even at 35 years old, but I am very good at social distancing. I forgive and love my mother, but my childhood is something I'll never get back. Be good to your children and give them the life you wish someone had given you. The world depends on it.

This is what I love about RU-vid. People post a cool video with a song I've never heard and then bam... find the original and listen to it a hundred times until it's part of my own inner narrative. Thanks Kelly

Never heard a song that sums up some of the most traumatic moments of my youth like this one does. When the past just becomes a beautiful song in your present.... feels. 😌

Thank you all so much for listening! LYRICS: Mama said there’s gunna be a flood We gotta pack our bags and go Ohh ohhh Mama said we gotta go right now I don’t wanna go right now Ohh ohhh Mama said we’re going away I’ve never been so far away Ohh ohhh I think about it all the time Ohhh I think about it all the time Mama said we've gotta change the sky So she won’t have to cry Ohh ohhh Mama said we gotta get in that car We gotta get in that car and drive I don’t wanna drive, I don’t wanna drive I don’t wanna drive away ohh Mama said we gotta start a new life I already have a life Ohh ohhh I think about it all the time Ohh I think about it all the time Mama said there’s gunna be a flood We gotta pack our bags and go

i CAN'T GET OVER THAT SLIDE. SOUNDS SO BEAUTIFUL!

When my mom first passed away this song popped up as a recommendation. I couldn't help but listen to it non stop for days. She would've loved this song. Thanks for that. ❤❤

I ve lost my mom one year ago, and this song is the only thing that bring me a bit of relief since. Everytime I feel a direct connexion with her listening to this song. Thanks Cat Clyde, I owe you for life ❤

Lost my mom to mental health issues when I was a young boy, never forgot what she used to say when she still had a shine to her eyes..

Gotta say cat clyde this is one of the most relatable songs ive ever heard right down to my very soul. Vibes of my childhood. Keep it up, please if not for you for people like me.

I've listened to this song for month now. And, everytime, it's the same. I play it on repeat and it brings me back to the darkest hours of my childhood. But what's funny, is that it makes me feel free for today! Such an atmosphere, i've to learned that guitar solo !

I don't know how anyone could dislike this. It's amazing. ❤

Parents left me when I was to young. This songs reminds me of my mother in law that stepped in to be my mom in a hard time in my life. Loved her so much. She pasted right before Covid. I miss her so much. Her birthday is today……. Hard to not be sad. She left a hole that I can’t fill.

i live for the guitar sound here it literally made me feel blue in a happy way tho idk does that even make sense?

That shepherd is beautiful!

I can't believe how amazing this song is

When she says," I think about it all the time..." it breaks my heart.

we have to remember our mommas are only human... and momma needs all the help she can get. It does take a village and the more people to love our children the better. If you know momma has the kids 24/7 and is just in survival mode. Be a friend that wants her and the children to thrive. Turn down that song no matter how much it bumps, the baby in the next room needs a quiet place to rest. when you have him spend the night, don't say sorry for your baby crying, it's what baby's do. Talk to your children, look them in the eye if it's only 5 seconds a day. look at there face, their skin, their eyes, their soul. They're part of you your meant to be their mother, don't compare. don't hit them in anger. calm yourself down when bad things happen baby's feel our energy and if we're upset trying to get baby not to be upset, it may be a problem. If you have to take five seconds and think of love pour out of you like champagne on a stripper..focus it coming from your chest to your children's chest and I promise they'll feel it. Mommas dance with your children. be naked (stop,it's not about sex) these young moms don't know how to be or feel embarrassed for talking baby talk in front of their bf. grab your baby, take off your shirt and play The seed by The roots with your offspring in your arms. Everyone is hard on mommas so mommas go hard on them, the cycle never breaks if you follow their footsteps. sometimes there's a better route with fewer traffic jams. take it, even if your momma thinks now she's too good for us.. no..now you know better so now do better. and remember to support mommas and uplift mommas because they weren't always mothers, they were children with mommas too, so gives your sons and daughters a five second squeeze and look them in the eyes and tell them you love them too. If ever you find yourself looking down on a momma, please reach for their hand to help them up.

Addictive song! I think about it all the time!

Your voice is a gift!

I love that they're ACTUALLY playing the guitars in the video

This makes me think about how much we can go trough,and still stay here,stay alive,and how I understand what others w/o the need to expirience it, I just know how everything feels like,or maybe just something,things let marks on you,that's how life is.

The beat sounds like where is my mind by the pixies 😍

I was looking for something else when I found this, and I can't stop listening to it. Hitting me right in the feels.

this song will never not hurt, it's too beautiful to not hurt.

Every time that intro riff hits me I melt like I've fallen in love for the first time. Thankyou.

The guitar in this is amazing !

This song makes me think of all the times my mother has tried to direct me in life. Good or bad. She's always had the best intentions for me. I love you, mom!

Me n my mum moved around a lot. It was just me and my momma for a long time and it still is even though we live seperate now. This song makes me cry. So deep, so much feeling. I think I've been here. It hurts when you have to leave friends and go somewhere else cah you're just a kid and your mum is tryna fight the good fight. You don't understand, but she's doing the best she can so you gotta move, even when it hurts. Much love. God bless

I’ll never experience Cat in person, but her voice is something.

Her voice is magic 🌾✨

So so glad I found this , she has a hauntingly beautiful voice.

There is power in faith, follow your gut... if you do you'll be the only one that survives the flood... no need to look back when your being led... better blessed than lucky... no fate but what we make... Find yourself where your fear leads you... Face you... every moment a gift hence why its called the present... so precious even billionaires couldn't buy a second of it... you can have all the money on earth and still die poor... recognize the miracle you are and use the gifts wisely... stay blessed frends🙏

a late night listening to some friends, listening to some new folks I've never heard of .. and next thing I know I'm here listening to Cat Clyde .. ahh yes, a night well spent ..

What a beautiful voice. This is a great song just to kick back and relax to.

Wow, just wow. What an amazing song, amazing singing, love Cat Clyde. Will listen to this one forever.

This hits home. As a teen I've always wanted a place I could call home, or hometown, or place where I grew up with friends I knew my whole life.

I I listened to this song on repeat all day. Time to pack the bags and go...

This song got an irresistible summer scent.

she's amazing. beautiful song and girl

This is one of those songs that sings a universal truth despite language, cultural , or background barriers to understanding it gets through

You can really feel this song, thank Cat Clyde for giving such meaning and feeling to your music!!!!

a collaboration with Shakey Graves would be outstanding.

I literally put this song on at least once a day, it seems to give me a sense of nostalgia which is weird because I just heard it a week ago.

Such a beautiful voice. This song plays in my head at random points, all the time.

This song , is a short , beautiful way ,, of relaying how I felt throughout my childhood. Thank you, it is healing just listening.

This song has a touch of brilliance! Too much heart and emotion put into it! Love from Greece😊

One of the sweetest voices I have ever heard

This song has simple words but go deep in people's hearts

I absolutely love this. The sorta simple and clunky lyrics sung by a person so clearly talented and sure of their own voice fits the picture of a child having to move perfectly. This is a tune forsure

Absolutely brilliant! Your music has something about it that touches my soul. Keep doing what you're doing.

...where is my mind.... where is my mind... Mashup please!

Magical!..One love

She makes it sounds so effortless! Love this song so much ❤️

This touches my soul, I love this and whoever gave this a thumbs down does not know real music! Lol

Make more music like this ~ Love this song! Worked so well with the snowboarding video it was paired with.

Moved to tears....the song, the comments.... May ya all be blessed!

You are a bright light! Keep shining old soul young heart. We need you out here more now than ever. Ty for sharing your vibeeeee . . .

I could have written these lyrics. At 11 years old my mom scooped us up in the middle of the night and we left her husband, our home and everything I knew. I don't think she ever understood how much of an impact that had on my life.

Love this. I play it on repeat

Beautiful guitar and heavenly voice

Her voice just carries me away! Wow!

This song reminds me of waking up early and staring out windows.

Wow! This song is BLISS and addictive. Where do these gems and diamonds appear and so young? This girl and guy been into their Grandparents music collection and infected. This is what I Love digging for and finding pure music from the Heart. This song features on "THANKFUL" youtube vid clip with Babe Pro surfers riding K.Slaters wave pool. Extremely COOL vid.

Keep blessing us with songs of true substance lil momma

Mama said…. Said so many things…some of it I cannot repeat.

Love it, Love You, From México. 💙

In the beggining I have the feeling of Where is my mind, by Pixies. But when the voice comes in...such a nice vibe.

It's like a southern version of Where Is My Mind and I love it

Im blessed to have found this Ahhhhhmazing Mama n that boy can jam🦋🌈☯️💙

This song makes me think of the pixies, and my mother.

This song is like a drink of cold water on a hot summer day.

Mama knows best. Keeping the magic ALIVE!

Such a wistfull tune yet so beautifull. Read into it what you will but its so soothing, so we just gotta change the sky so she dont have to cry. Maybe think about that people?

you have an inspirational voice, I ran across you on Spotify and your music is one of a kind!

Who's the dude on slide? He kills it

Dude killed it w the slide

I am so grateful for my mama she has given me so much wisdom and strength to push through this thing that we call life

Beautiful track!!! Thank you!!

Beautiful music.

A guitar, a walking stick, and a dog. What more do you really need in life I ask you. This song made my day.

Love this song... what a wonderful groove and so soulful ♥️👍

I had to leave a physical abusive situation and we were both doing drugs at that point. It was run, or sink. That run changed our lives for the best.
