"It's Alright" by Mother Mother - A Song Feature


     The holidays are difficult for many; posting “It’s Alright” may be timely for some. Vocally, the song from Mother Mother has a sweetness, particularly during the female chorus. Lyrically, the song has an importance. The lyrics are directed to the value of self-forgiveness to the healing process. In talking about the motivation for “It’s alright,” Ryan Gulldemond said:
  “It’s easy to feel guilty, ashamed and regretful about [an earlier] part of my life, but I try instead to see it as a crucial bridge to becoming a better and healthier person. I am still called to my vices, frequently, and make no eternal promises of perfection to myself, but the call to live out powerful days, fueled by clarity, love, creativity and sustainable productivity seems to be louder right now, and for that I’m grateful.”

     Mother Mother is a five-member band in Vancouver, Canada. They are Ryan Guldemond (guitar, vocals), Molly Guldemond (vocals, keyboard, Jasmin Parkin (keyboard, vocals), Ali Siadat (drums), and Mike Young (bass).

Lyrics of "It's Alright" by Mother Mother
Ooohwa
(It's alright)
Ooohwa

Aw hey
I had a night, I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay
I got a baseball bat beside my bed
To fight off what's inside my head
To fight off what's behind my meds
I'm lonely, lost in pain

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a monster, just a human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not gruesome, just human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright
It's okay

Goddamn
I throw a brick right through the window
My life ignored the signals
I am high and drunk on ego
Can't see straight
So I just feel my way around
And I am touching, I am grabbing
Everything I can't be havin'
I am broken down in shame

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You behaved in that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe
That you will see a better day
It's alright
It's okay
It's alright

I don't wanna know who I am
'Cause heaven only knows what I'll find
I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive
I don't wanna see what's inside
I think that I would rather be blind
I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable

I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not a monster, I'm a human
And I made a few mistakes
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not gruesome, just human
And I made a few

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You behaved in that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe
That you will see a better day
It's alright
It's okay
It's alright
And I believe, yes I believe
That you will see a better day
(It's alright)
