For Mothers' Day, I proved to be a bad daughter, as I had left my essay that was due today, to the last minute and spent all the day writing that instead of spending the day with her. But to make up for my horrible neglect of yesterday, today I spent the evening with mum and bought all these Italian songs that she loves for her. When she was younger, apparently she had the record of Rino Gaetano and it was her favourite, but she hasn't got it anymore. Her suspicion is that her brother took it because he liked the album cover and never gave it back, so today was the day when I could give to her the songs of her youth.
This is a song called "Anche Questo e Sud". Unfortunately, I don't actually speak Italian, so I have no idea what the song is about, or even know what the title means. I should really ask my mum about the translation some time, because it seems like a really nice song, but it could be about anything... I guess I should add learning Italian to my bucket list. Like, I can understand key words when my nonna speaks and I understand the gist of what she is talking about and can reply to her in English, but when it comes to word for word comprehension... I'm an epic fail.

So this song selection for today is more of a tribute for my mum, as a way of saying sorry for being a rubbish daughter on Mothers' Day.
