Woooooot! Looking forward to hearing them.

Yeah, mother and son songs are hard. Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, fathers and daughters . . . plenty of all of those, but mothers and sons? Tried to think of some that could fit and came up pretty dry.

i am also looking for female covers of father/son songs. for example if you have a woman singing john lennon's beautiful boy i would really really appreciate that.

I think Celine Dion covered that song?

And after searching, I found her cover on YouTube.

And I also randomly happened upon this mother/son song, too: A Mother's Song.

Have you already got "Whip-Smart" by Liz Phair?

You could possibly, depending on what kind of backstory you have for the circumstances of Jensen's birth, use "Black Boys on Mopeds"?

"No Mother" by Old 97s might work but it's kind of more about being dead or dying than the mother-son relationship itself. I feel like Old 97s should have others that might work but can't think of them off the top of my head.

"Children of the Revolution" maybe? Not really about mothers but somehow feels like it could work for Jensen (yes, I'm searching my music library for words related to family relationships).

There's a song that goes by "Mother & Wife" or "Mother's Choice" that's about, if your mother and your wife were both drowning, which one would you save, and you should save your mother because wives are replaceable but mother's aren't. Spring Breakup do a cover of it. Not sure that's useful.
