Miss You Mama written by a Girl from Oyam is a song inspired by the loss of my grandmother. It is also for all those who have lost their loved ones which is why the chorus is as simple as “I miss you mama” to give everyone the opportunity to mention the names of their loved ones at the end, so instead of mama, it can be sister, brother, daughter, son, uncle etc.
Writing a tribute song for my grandmother was a cathartic and deeply meaningful experience. It allowed me to express my love and gratitude for a woman who played a pivotal role in shaping the person I am today.
Through the power of music, I hope to keep her memory alive and inspire others to appreciate the strong, loving figures in their lives.
Whether it’s through writing, art, or any other creative outlet, finding ways to honour our loved ones is a beautiful way to celebrate their impact on our lives.
In the end, it’s not just about the song itself, but the emotions it evokes and the memories it preserves.
