Goodnight Mom by Patrick Séguin
Goodnight Mom is a deeply emotional and personal tribute, an English-language track that uniquely blends a high-energy synthwave and neo-country production with a heartbreaking story of losing a mother.
Pulsing analog synths and bright steel guitar licks drive the song toward hooky, K-pop-style drops, creating a sound that celebrates memory and life even in the face of immense grief. The lyrics recount the painful final moments, the regret of unspoken words, and the nightly ritual of whispering 'Goodnight Mama' into the quiet of an empty room. It's a testament to the idea that a mother's love never fades and that even the most painful memories can be honored with a powerful, soaring melody.
Written and produced by Patrick Séguin.

Lyrics
So many years without your voice
Since you departed, left no choice
Your absence haunts me night and day
You were my shelter, showed the way
Not just a mother, you were more
My confidant, my peaceful shore
The illness took you far too fast
No final words, no moment's last
Everything blurred, I couldn't speak
When you left, my soul felt weak
Every night I whisper low
Goodnight Mama, soft and slow
In the quiet of my room
Hope you hear me through the gloom
Part of me went dark that day
When your eyes just closed away
I held your hand beside your bed
Each breath you took filled me with dread
Words escaped me, couldn't find
Peace to calm your troubled mind
Helplessness like rising tide
I stepped out to cry and hide
To keep my tears from your bright eyes
Return with love, no sad goodbyes
Forever your son, you held me tight
In love much stronger than the night
You were my star, my guiding light
I left that evening, soul in flight
Every night I whisper low
Goodnight Mama, soft and slow
In the quiet of my room
Hope you hear me through the gloom
Part of me went dark that day
When your eyes just closed away
Dawn brought the call, pale morning light
You slipped away in astral night
But someday beyond the stars above
We'll meet again in endless love
Every night I whisper low
Goodnight Mama, soft and slow
Someday past the starlit dome
We will find our way back home
Though the pain may slowly fade
Mother's love will never trade
When the cold comes, darkness falls
Close my eyes, your memory calls
No bitter words, no angry tears
Your smile lights my darkest fears
Goodnight Mama, feel your grace
In my dreams, your warm embrace
