NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Singer, songwriter, mother, and entrepreneur Erin Duvall releases her country music Mother’s Day song, “To Be Here.” The beautiful tribute to all mothers out there is about the magical love she has for her children and the admiration she has for anyone who is raising children or has raised them. “To Be Here” lyrically focuses on the selflessness of motherhood and the different phases of Erin’s life that she has experienced, including its many ups and downs. ‘Being a parent is spelled out in time. There’s no magical dance or a special rhyme. It’s about being present in their everyday life and teaching them the steps to learn to fly. Humble, gracious, caring and kind.’
Erin says, ‘”To Be Here” is such a special song to me. My children were so involved in the whole process and were my entire inspiration. From the different phases in my life I have experienced with them, to their giggles that inspired my melody, to their tiny voices that weave throughout the song, it created beautiful symmetry to the song. We wanted a whimsical approach that feels like love floating around and wrapping you up in a safe place because that is what being a parent is all about. No matter what hardships you may experience, your love is never ending, and you know the most important thing for your children is just “to be here.”‘
Erin embraces her country music songwriting about life, love, and family in some of its most raw forms. When it comes to being a mother, the Texas-based artist says, “If I have learned anything as a parent, it is that these words are so true. We are meant to guide our children to eventually learn to walk and then fly on their own. We are supposed to teach them that it is ok to fall, and more importantly, we are supposed to teach them to find the courage to get back up and try again. And sometimes just knowing you are there, even if they don’t need you at that moment, is everything for a child, at any age.”
As the guiding force in her kids lives, the song speaks about Erin paying tribute to her kids for giving her a reason to be here. The transformative experience of becoming a mother is one Erin doesn’t take for granted. “When I became a mother myself, I felt like a huge part of my soul was filled, and I was forever changed. This song is for my children, who are my whole world, and to anyone who is raising or has raised children. Because our jobs are never done, and it is the hardest, but greatest and most fulfilling job in the entire world.”
Erin’s artistry continues to empower others through her honest storytelling. As a singer, she sets herself apart from others through her truthful perspective on motherhood, which includes heartbreak and broken dreams but also resilience and grace. Erin has also received high praise for her latest single and music video releases, “Walking Country Song” and “Too Little, Too Late.”
