A song from the standpoint of someone who has lost their mother, it was done for NPR’s Morning Edition Song Project and will resonate deeply with anyone who has lost a parent or close friend. Clark worked with Lindsey Buckingham on “The Past Is the Past,” and Brandi Carlile produced “Like Mine” and “Same Devil.”īut one of the most potent numbers is “Remember Me Beautiful,” which was co-written with Stoughton’s Lori McKenna and her two main collaborators, Hilary Lindsay and Liz Rose.
