DEAD MOM LYRICS

Hey mom, dead mom
I need a little help here.
I'm prob'ly talking to myself here
But dead mom, I gotta ask:
Are you really in the ground?
'Cause I feel you all around me.
Are you here, dead mom,
Dead mom?

Dead mom,
I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases.
I'm a bunch of broken pieces;
It was you who made me whole.
Ev’ry day dad's staring at me,
Like all, "Hurry up, get happy.
Move along,
Forget about your mom"

'Cause Daddy's in denial.
Daddy doesn't wanna feel.
He wants me to smile
And clap like a performing seal.
Ignored it for a while,
But daddy's lost his mind for real.
You won't believe the mess that we've become.

You're my home,
My destination.
And I'm your clone,
Your strange creation.
You held my hand,
And life came easy.
Now jokes don't land,
And no one sees me.
Nothing seems to fit.
Mamma is this it?
Are you receiving?
I want something to believe in or I'm done.
Take me where my soul can run.
Or I'll be in my bedroom;
Wake me when I'm twenty-one.
Daddy's moving forward,
Daddy didn't lose a mom.

Mamma, won't you send a sign?
I'm running out of hope and time.
A plague of mice, a lightning strike,
Or drop a nuclear bomb.
No more playing daddy's game.
I'll go insane if things don't change!
Whatever it takes to make him say your name,
Dead mom!

When you're practicing your singing but you hear the sound of someone sitting on the stairs or outside your door and you panic and quickly lose your talent.

[alatuzn]

The comments: don’t hurt your voice and be safe

Me: *you can’t stop me*

[hanx]

Rip my neighbors, I hate being a broadway kid and not being able to sing my fave songs

[emilymypuppystuff]

Me after singing this song: “ Dead voice dead voice”

[annabellee]

Me singing “or I’m done”
Me hearing Sophie sing it
Honey how the hell did you get that weird note so perfectly?!

[wren]

this wasn’t too difficult to sing...






but to sing it well is a whole other story

[lillymae]

Never realized how hard that song is to sing until i did it karaoke 😂

[Pixel__Hearts]

this song isn't that hard, for me it's just hard to hit those notes while also trying to not have my parents yelling at me to stop being so loud

[emwlzqy]

Me singing this for fun and then hitting the high note accidentally:
*surprised pikachu face*

[mannyeatsdirt]

Why is it so hard to remember the note for you’re my home

[thaliapeters]

hey y’all, just a reminder of some things that you shouldn’t be feeling when you’re singing:
-pain/discomfort in your throat
-honestly, any feeling in your throat
-tension in your neck, jaw, or face
-vocal fatigue (losing volume, resonance, or notes off your range after singing)
all of these are signs that you might be in danger of hurting yourself if you maintain this kind of technique. (and yes, with proper technique your voice will NEVER get tired!) this song’s really tough, so take care of yourself! make sure to completely relax everything above the shoulders. a good exercise is to do lip trills for the entire song a couple times through. if you can maintain the lip trill throughout, that’s a good sign.

[ciaraalice]

When singing this DO NOT try to match how Sophie does it. It will damage your voice and it will hurt. Please take care of your voice
EDIT:
When I said don't do it the way she does, I meant don't use that amount of breath when trying to belt. It is incredibly damaging to your voice.

[Someone-ccle]

Ya'll talking about how hard it is to belt the "Feel" and "seal", BUT AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLY FLAT SINGING THE "ReAaaaALlLll" ??

[heatherbronzi]

I’m seeing all these comments like “dead voice” please don’t sing this from your throat it is so unhealthy and will cause damage!! Not even Sophia’s understudy in the broadway show sings it like her. Everyone has their own sound
Edit: this is also in no way a hate comment towards Sophia but to anyone new to singing to exercise caution

[annapantsu]

Hey there, I was wondering if you have a business email I could contact you at? Thanks!

[kiivaus]

I know people get upset when you don't belt the parts that the actors do in these songs but you shouldn't have to!! If you cannot do it DO NOT push yourself too hard as you can permanently damage your voice. Yes it is fun to belt but its also not healthy for your voice without proper training!! Remember to take care of yourself and your voice!! 💞

[dino_chip]

im not sure if im the only one to notice but at 1:11 its should say "he wants me to not "dad wants me to smile..." idk that's what it says in the official version i like saying he i feel it sounds better plus thats what she sing in the show.

[emilygasbell]

everyone’s like “this was so hard to sing”


i’m a low alto


ahaha




YALL WHY DOES THIS HAVE ONE THOUSAND LIKES OH MY GOD-

[HeyItsPockii]

I would LOVE to audition for the school musical with this song, but I’m scared I’ll get criticized for using a popular song...
