“More Than A Mother” by Lou Rumi is a story that explains the various roles that mothers play in our lives. It’s more than just a song.

Lou Rumi grew up surrounded by choirs and orchestras and thus had a great respect for rich vocal harmonies. She first became interested in opera because of her academic pursuit of a music degree, but jazz ultimately won her over. Her attitude to music is forever altered by the influences of musical theater and the careers of renowned performers like Eva Cassidy and Carole King. Above all, Rumi wants to use the power of her music to create a strong emotional connection with her listeners.

Her new song “More Than A Mother” has an audio record lasting 3 minutes and 56 seconds. It was released on April 24, 2024. Produced and recorded in Rumi’s personal studio, the song is a whole lot more than a piece of music—it’s a soul-stirring transition that leaves a lasting impression. It honors the unspoken sacrifices and quiet triumphs that define motherhood, paying tribute to the extraordinary women who are, unequivocally, more than just mothers.

Moving on to “More Than A Mother,” the song begins with a contemplation of life’s myriad choices and the paralysis that can come from uncertainty:

“Who do you?
When you see too many choices or you don’t see one at all
And confusion overwhelms you, don’t know how to make a choice.
Just need to share the feeling, get someone else’s point of view
I call you!”

It’s in these moments of doubt and indecision that the figure of the mother emerges as a beacon of clarity and wisdom. Rumi’s lyrics capture the essence of this guiding light:

“You’re more than a friend, always the first one I call
More than a nurse, you pick me up when I fall.
More than a teacher, more than a guide, you have always been walking by my side
As study light from my earliest memory, you’re so much more
More than a Mother to me.”

The song’s gentle melody carries the weight of these words, as Rumi’s soulful voice delivers each line with heartfelt sincerity. The emotional connection she strives for in her music is palpable, as she pays tribute to her mother—an inspiration and an amazing human being on the cusp of her 80th year.

Lou puts much effort in her songs and she says that part of the process is, ‘Being an introverted musician is a challenge! I hope to touch people’s hearts through my recorded songs…’
