Today, we’ll be taking my mom out to lunch at doing all the Mother’s Day stuff.

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, I figured I would take a moment to recognize other cool moms. Well, I might only get to one. We’ll see.

Mothers would do anything for their kids, it is often said. How many mothers would write, record, and perform a metal song dedicated to their son, though? I’m guessing not many, but Maria Brink, lead singer of In This Moment, wrote the song “He Said Eternity” for her kid.

Even if you’re not into metal, you surely would agree that this might qualify her as the Coolest Mom Ever.

This particular live version of the song includes her dedication to the kiddo at the beginning, but it’s not necessarily the greatest performance. I put a video with the album version after it.

The second video uploader also included the lyrics, which I now post here:

You’re my star, guiding me
I know love

Whispers of a life, in one breath you’d be
Everything I am, you saved me

You’re the light, in my darest hour
I’ll be fine, with you I can move on
This is our eternity

There are no words, to say how proud I am
You’re my miracle, my angel

You’re the light, in my darest hour
I’ll be fine, with you I can move on
This is our eternity

I would walk through flames for you, to light a way

I light a path for you, and carry you through life
You’re my miracle, my angel

You’re the light, in my darkest hour
I’ll be fine, with you I can move on
This is our eternity

Finally, here she is headbanging:

Anyway, happy Mother’s Day.
