“Lady Lorraine” - A tribute to the best Mom in the world
There are few words that can truly capture the depth of a mother’s love, a lifetime of strength, sacrifice, and unwavering support that defines it. But in my latest single, “Lady Lorraine,” I’ve done my best to honor the one woman who has meant more to me than words could ever express: my mom, Lori Gaffney.
Trying to fold 55 years of love and dedication into a five-minute song was one of the most emotional challenges I’ve ever faced as a songwriter. “Lady Lorraine” is more than just music—it’s a tribute, a thank-you, and a love letter to the woman who gave me life and shaped the person I’ve become.
From childhood days filled with laughter and learning to life’s harder moments where her wisdom and strength lit the way, my mother has always been there. She's been my rock, my biggest supporter, and my compass when I’ve felt lost. Her sacrifices have built the foundation upon which my life stands.
In “Lady Lorraine,” I reflect on the moments that have made our journey so meaningful: the way she taught by example, loved without conditions, and gave endlessly of herself without ever asking for anything in return. Whether it was a gentle word of encouragement or simply being there when I needed her most, my mom has always shown up with grace and love.
While no song can ever truly encapsulate a lifetime, I hope this one gets close. I hope it resonates with anyone who has known the love of a mother like mine. And most of all, I hope it makes her proud.
Thank you, Mom (Lady Lorraine) for everything.
