Lullaby for the Motherland - Uyen My Pham
30 April marks 45 years since the fall of Saigon. As the daughter of first generation Vietnamese boat immigrants, I can only imagine the trauma of losing one’s homeland through their excruciatingly gut-wrenching stories. I wrote this song based on my mum and grandparents' journey. I marvel at the cost of freedom, and it makes me think of our current times, of entrapment and uncertainty. I think of those who fled, that stayed, those who lost their lives and more in their search for freedom. Their bravery speaks more eloquently than a thousand tongues.
I wrote this song with their losses in mind a soothing lullaby to ease their wounds, the ones that time can never heal. A rough take but if features my two little brothers on drums and bass, a play through on dad’s birthday. #30thapril.
