"Mom Could Play Guitar" By Drew Gasparini Performed by Alex Brightman 

i have a condition that lets me smell and taste music. its called synesthesia its really cool. his voice smells like chocolate and i can feel it melting in my mouth. its very prominent in this song and really enhances the cozy feeling it has. thanks drew and alex!

I found this song going through a Drew Gasparini hole on youtube. I sent it to my mom right away, and we both were in love. I had just moved to college to pursue music, and growing up I would sit with my mom and go over my piano books daily. This song hits different... and now I cry every time I hear it. Thanks Drew for writing such an amazingly connected song.

How is this drew guy not famous by now? Really it's not fair

Drew's music has such an incredible ability to stop me in my tracks. Whatever I'm doing, whoever is singing it I pause and give it my full attention because it's just that good, regardless of the song. There is such incredible heart poured into every lyric and melody that it feels rude to give it anything but my full attention. I feel late to the party learning about all the incredible songs he's written but there's an added bonus that I am constantly discovering new things to listen to. The entire 'We aren't kids any more' album just has me lying on the floor staring at the ceiling. I'm simultaneously paralyzed and yet revitalized. I can't fucking wait to see what he does next. Thank you for all you do Drew. PS. I love your podcast, its the highlight of my week

I tried to stay strong throughout this entire song but I'm tearing up now. I really love both Colton's and Alex's performance of this song. They're both so talented and amazing.

I'm LIVING for all these videos with all these incredible STARS! Including you, Mr. Gasparini! Your ability to write so many songs that have such incredible meaning, is so commendable.

I stumbled across this while looking up videos of Alex Brightman singing, but I just had to leave a comment to let you know how incredibly moving this song is. Although I don't plan to be a mother myself, I find the lyrics to be such a beautiful tribute to loving parents who've raised us to follow our dreams. Thank you so much for sharing this touching music ❤

drew is one if my favorite musicians and all of drews songs are just gorgeous

It’s great to see where actors and artists came from, it’s clear to see why they get picked up

Just wanted to say, I stumbled across this video and this is one of my new all time favorite songs. Never fails to put a tear in my eye. I might not be a musician, but the sentiment translates so well. Thanks for the great song, Drew.

no, i'm not crying.... this is beautiful :')

I never really felt close with my mom, neither did she play guitar, but somehow, this managed to make me emotional. Drew’s music is just THAT incredible. It makes me feel like I have someone like that in my life.

Mom came home with lots to say She′s pissed because she found a gray hair You'd never guess that she′s aged a day But sometimes life just doesn't play fair. My mom and dad loved PDA He shared the joy true love could bring her They made a home north of the bay My mom showed me how to be a singer Music was like breathing 'Cause it looked so easy She always had a song worth singing Mom taught music every day And raised us all by the western seaboard When I told mom that I wanna play She grabbed her guitar, taught me a D chord Her calloused fingers made it look so easy Thanks for being patient with me Oooo The only music I knew Was from days of each amazing childhood afternoon And oooo Just take a look at where we are It′s all because my mom could play guitar After school she was the carpool queen Four loud kids, she′d never be bored I was a shithead, angsty teen Fixated on a life led by a D chord Putting words to music, it wasn't always easy But mom was always there believing Ooooo The only music I knew Was from days of each amazing, childhood afternoon And oooo The music led me so far And it′s all because my mom could play guitar One thing I learned just by being around Mother's job is never finished, even when we′re grown And there's nothing like the wound she gets from hearing the words, "I need to do this on my own" Mom′s worst fear: the empty nest A house full gone must hit the hardest Mom and dad can only do their best The plight of raising four young artists Mom taught me to be brave 'Cause what you fear is what you lean toward Years of sacrifice and saving I never thanked her for that D chord

I love these sooooooooooo good (Alex is also my biggest inspiration so I had to click on this 😝) great vid

I'm just imagining his mom in this moment😭🤧❤

I was at that show (reviewed it). One of my favorite songs of yours, never fails to make me tear up.
