Discover the story of the song > Mama, You Been on My Mind – Jeff Buckley

The song is about the protagonist thinking of his mother and how she's been on his mind for various reasons, like the color of the sun or the weather. He assures his mother that he's not trouble and he's not asking for anything, he's just acknowledging that she's been on his mind. He even says that he doesn't mind who she'll be waking up with tomorrow. He ends the song by telling his mother to look at herself in the mirror and see if she can see herself as someone who has had her son on her mind.
