‘Mother’ is a powerful new song from the star shaped, multi-talent-tasking, Anna Wolf,

Tunefully heartfelt, the aim is to be an enigmatic salve where grief from loss, in it’s many forms, comes from so many angles.

The result is a stark and beautiful comfort which reaches out with winter cool chords and solace warm vocals that are simultaneously fragile, strong and lyrically relatable;

I don’t wanna breathe when you’re not here”

‘Mother’ is for the many.

“As some of you may know, this is a very personal song for me, I wanted to capture the raw essence of grief and acknowledging that it's okay to not be okay... I have lost a few very close people to me over the past three years and it has not been easy”.

The song serves as a source of solace and hope if you are struggling to move forward after losing a loved one, reminding you that you are not alone and that healing is possible, even with a broken heart."

The video is a short film at one with itself, the song and performance. A personal artist and audience one-to-one feeling is created by the cinematic simplicity of being filmed with music photography legend, Paul Harries; one on one:

One camera, one tripod and one torch creating one sonic drama. The trust from their friendship and working relationship makes for personal viewing.
