MOTHER’S PRIDE
“…He’s a soldier
waving at the shore.
And
in her heart
the time has come
to lose a son ...”
'Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1' was George Michael's 2nd solo studio album. Released in 1990, it featured the self-penned track "Mother's Pride".
The moving song revolves around a woman who has lost her partner to war. Her little boy grows into a soldier eager to enlist and follow in his father's footsteps. The mother looks on as her son sets off to another conflict zone. At the song's conclusion, it is revealed that the young man - like his father before him- has died fighting.
As

spotify playlist. Find it and the other Caffé Latté playlists at:
