Calee, I just heard your song for the first time while streaming music on my computer. I liked it so much that I went to UA-cam and found your video. When I saw your Mom's picture holding you as a baby, I recognized her. We sang together at Ricks College years ago in a dance band and Showtime Company. I want you to know that I remember how much your Mom really did love to sing and perform and people enjoyed listening to her. I not only remember her as a soloist, but I remember your parents singing, "Eternity Is You" on a tour we did throughout the Eastern US. This was shortly after they were married and love sparkled in their eyes as they sang. What a wonderful tribute you have written for a wonderful mother. The truth of your words makes my heart smile! It was so fun to see her and her beautiful family. May she rest in peace until you all can be with her again someday.
This was sung at my Aunt's funeral in March after she passed away at 38 from cancer. It was one of her favorite songs. I listen to this when I am missing her. She was the light and the music of our family. I will miss her dearly until I see her again on the other side.
Calee, your Mother was my first vocal teacher 26 years ago at C&M Music in Sparks, Nevada. Your tribute to her is amazing and I know she is smiling from up above. Thank you for sharing your gift and memory of such a beautiful woman!
A friend of mine introduced me to Calee Reed's song about 6 years ago. I was going through a particularly hard time in my life, and deeply missed my mother - even though by then she had been gone (also from cancer, as Calee's mom did) for about 8 years. My friend gave me this CD and this CD (and the generosity of my friend), helped me in ways that cannot be measured. Even though Calee's mom and mine were very different, I'm grateful for the love and healing in this song. It helps me want to be a better mom and Christian to my children and also those around me.
It started with rock-a-bye, comforting when I'd cry All in her own style Then popcorn before my eyes, turning frowns upside down Into smiles With songs of the birds up high, looking at the blue, blue sky The wind as it rushes by Then leading me, guiding me, walking beside me she helped me To walk in the light And she built my house on a rock And she lives all that she taught And she is all that a woman should be She put the music in me I knew He was really there, He heard my child's prayer Answering from up above She gave like a little stream, I was her sunbeam And I felt my Savior's love I saw her kneel and pray with our family every day Listening to each whispered word Gentle in deed and thought, all the things Jesus taught Following promptings she heard And she lives to search, ponder, pray And she gives every day So her thanks will always be thanks indeed She put the music in me He made the tiny wings of each little bird that sings In the leafy treetops up high And all creatures great and small, I know God made them all Because of her sweet lullabies She's like a star shining bright And helps me to choose the right And she gives me the hope of a life yet to be She put the music in me She is so good to me Heavenly Father sent her to me And she taught me to lift up my voice and sing She put the music in me She put the music in me She put the music in me
My mother passed away just 6 months ago from cancer also, and this song perfectly expresses how I feel about her. Thank you for this wonderful song! It's nice to know there are others out there who are young like me going through the same thing... Thanks again for sharing!
I want to thank you for this song. From the bottom of my heart thank you. My mom passed away almost 4 years ago. She wasn't a member of the church while she was on this earth but I know for a fact that she was the one who helped Heavenly Father and Jesus lead me to the church. She's working so hard on the other side of the viel for my family. I am so happy that families can be together forever. I miss her so much.....
I seriously cried for the first 20 times I listened to this. I still want to, it makes me want to be a better mom:) u have a beautiful talent! I'm the primary music leader and it touched me more than u.com know:)
This song touched me so much. In 1992 I lost my sweet mother to colon cancer. She was everything to me.I know she is my gardian angel!Great tribute to mothers everywhere!
I was searching for Mother's Day songs last year and found this video. I added it to a Mother's Day Playlist for my wife and 3 daughters who are all mothers also. Thanks for your music, you are truly blessed
I am not alone. A mothers day poem for the grieving adult son or daughter. She raised me up to be the person I am today. Beautiful inside and out. a soul that smiles brightly. Love for all people. Kindness, compassion, genuine empathy, gentleness over machismo. She was my first example of what being a truly beautiful person was all about. She built my house upon a rock and put the music in me. Every day, she testified to what perseverance was all about. That trying and failing was better than not trying at all and that life is a marathon and every day is a practice run. She left an indelible mark on my life, our struggles both together, and a part, a lesson in how character is built and how patience is practiced. How relying on self is important but how families live and die by relying on each other and how blood is thicker than water, no matter how long its separated from the "body". She raised me up to believe that anger is best reserved for inequities in society and never for the ones we love. How love is best practiced like an extreme sport. Never dull. never shortchanged. Risky. Satisfying. She sacrificed every day to raise me...not solely because I took her energy as a kid but because she was already running on empty when she had me and so she struggled to fill her cup. You see we forget that being a parent is only part of an identity and that the individual still exists, their internal cup, with holes a plenty..... When she left this world, a loss I suffered, but an eternal perspective I gained Because SHE raised me up, SHE left a piece of HERSELF with me. Every day when I look at my self in the mirror, I see my self but I also see her. Every day I break off a piece of my self to give to other people, I see her and its in that process, that daily process that I am reminded that I am not alone. She is still here. Some days I have to look real hard for those reminders and I am grieving as much as I am breathing, its on those days that I need to find a mirror, to see a part of her staring back at me..telling me...you live for both of us now...you are not alone but some one else is, go find that person and leave a piece of your self with them.... Kevin Cline 4/16/2015 In honor of Joy Kay Cline 12/21/1961-12/18/2014 Thank you for this song Calee.
It's 6am and I'm feeding my little baby girl, crying my eyes out! I love this song! So happy I followed the link from a friends Facebook account this early morning! Wonderful song, beautiful voice, inspiring words!
This song was on my mom's funeral video. I'm so glad you were inspired to right this song. It's not only your mom's legacy but so many including my moms. She recently passed and every time I want to think of her and cry a bit I listen to your song for comfort. Thank you.
This is beautiful. I heard you sing yesterday with your sister and dad at my niece's performance and then I found this single. I lost me mom too at the age of 51 to ovarian cancer. This brings tears to my eyes. Just beautiful!
This made me think of my sweet mom, and my sweet mother-in-law. They both raised us to embrace the Gospel of Christ in our lives, and to turn to Him in times of need, or just whenever. I love them both so much. Heavenly Father sent them to us. They put the music in us. ❤️
Thank you for this. Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary that I lost my mother to cancer and this song describes so perfectly the woman that she was and the role she played in my life.
Such a beautiful tribute to your mom. This describes my mom fully also. She passed away of cancer sept 2012 and although it makes me cry, it reminds me of her and makes me want to be a better person. I will be buying the single as the huntsman cancer institute extended her life 2 yrs with her liver resection.
What a touching tribute to a loving mother who instilled (and probably sometimes forced) the love of music in her children, something so many of us can relate to! I owe a lot to my mother who kept me playing even when I didn't want to!
Thank you Calee! What a beautiful tribute to your mother. I loved your use of so many of our favorite primary songs. The song is such a great reminder of all we, as mothers, should be.
I heard this amazingly beautiful song at the funeral of a dear friend, an a sweet, loving woman who I will miss and who reminds me of my own sweet, dear mother who passed away over a decade ago. What a tribute this song is! How perfect! It says all that is in my heart about my own mother and as I sat there listening to it, I couldn’t help but think, I sure wish they could sing this at my funeral and mean this about me! My mother taught us through music, and it is because of her my testimony of the Savior and the gospel grew...and my love of singing. Thank you for this beautiful tribute. Your mother must have been an angel. She must be so very proud of you and who you’ve become!
I first heard this song yesterday at our Women’s Stake Conference and she was there to sing it live because she was our special guest. And just WOW! She is really really really good even in person. Pure talent!
Thanks Calee, you brought me to tears. I lost my mom 4 weeks ago & miss her terribly. But I know that our family is eternal & I will see her again. It is just so hard to be away from her. Thanks for sharing your talent. The video was so sweet & reminded me of the music that my sweet mommy gave to me.
This is such a beautiful song. Today, my heart is aching because my mom has cancer and only has maybe a week or two or less to live. We just found out she has cancer just 2 months or so ago. We almost lost her almost 12 years ago due to some other disease and she fought that and beat it, but this time.. She is so weak. :( I pray that she won't be miserable much longer and that we can heal from losing someone close to our hearts. I spend as much time with her as possible. And I'm so thankful she is my mom and that she has been our light throughout our lives and will continue to do so when she passes on to the next life. Thank you for sharing your beautiful song. Such a wonderful voice.
+Jennifer Miller Your comments touched me deeply, as it was three years ago today in which I spent the last week with my sweet mother. I pray the Lord will bless and comfort you and that He will bless and comfort your mother as she passes from this life to the next. Jennifer, I have felt my mother near so many times when I have needed her. I will think of something, excitement builds in me as I think, oh, I can't wait to tell mom this or that and then realize I can't share with her. I don't know if that feeling ever goes away. I've heard over and over that time heals. I don't know if that is true because when I think of losing her, my heart aches as if it was yesterday when she left this world. But, I do know that we grow strong, adapt and find ways to exist without our mother's influence in our lives. Thank God, literally, for wonderful mothers who have taught us how to be strong women. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you and your sweet mom.
Thank you for your kind words. My mom passed away that same day that I wrote. It's been so hard. And yes I do feel the same way... I keep wanting to tell her something that happened, but I can't. Not in the way I want to tell her. I still talk to her and I know she is listening, but it's not the same. And I wonder the same thing... Will time really heal all heart aches. I feel separation anxiety. It hurts, but I'm trying to feel ok. My mom's funeral was beautiful. I feel peace when I go to her grave. I know she is happier and not in pain anymore. She is with her dad now. Thank you so much for replying to this. And I hope you are doing ok. I'm so sorry that you lost your mom too. It's hard, but like you said.. Our moms' made us strong. We can keep going because they would want us to keep living and they want us to be happy
What a great song. I miss my mom every day and this is a great tribute to mom's who went before their time. Thanks for reminding me how great my own mother was.
Thank you so much for this song! I heard it for the first time at the BYU Women's Conference this year. You have a beautiful voice. You have a wonderful loving spirit that shines through you when you sing! What a wonderful tribute to your mom. My mom passed away 9 years ago and it still brings me to tears today. When I heard your song the tears just flowed, I couldn't stop them. I felt such happiness as well, because I felt the same way about my mom. She put the music in me! She had such a love for music and especially hymns. Music lifts your soul and touches your heart. Thank you for sharing your talent. It's a wonderful way to share your testimony. You brought tears to my eyes and love to my heart.
wow this song is so touching. I am so grateful to have my mom with me. I will cherish her forever. She really did put the music in me. I loved how you used all those primary songs in it. It is truly beautiful and you are very talented.
I love this song! I assume your mom passed away because of cancer. My mother did. I miss her very much but am so grateful for the gospel. I get such a sense of peace when I think about her. Thanks for this song.
I love this! Your voice is beautiful! The words taken from Primary songs touch my ❤️. What an amazing tribute to your mother. Mothers love their children. This reflects that beautifully.
Calee thank you so much! I didn't even realize it was you mom until the hospital pictures. What a wonderful Tribute! Your mom inspired so many young people to love music including my own Kaylee!
My sweet angel mother died the same year as yours. This tribute is so beautiful! I know she smiles on you from heaven! It really touched my heart how you put all the lines from the primary songs in the lyrics. You have such a beautiful talent! Thank you for sharing it with the world!
My grandma died of cancer in 2002. She always played music when we did our household chores so it's hard for me to work without music in the background. I guess you could say "Grandma Lowder put the music in me."
I don't remember the last time I loved a song so much! Very moving. This is a timely release with Mother's Day around the corner. Thank you for giving my heart words to share with my own mother!
She remind me of my own mother. I miss my mom so much. My mother is a beautiful kind woman. She dead two years ago with cancer just like her mom. Sad...but beautiful song
I was looking for the perfect vid to post on my wife's facebook wall for Mother's Day. I just found it. Also downloaded your album for her. Thank You. Jim
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to your mother. My wife and our 2 little ones get sealed as a family tomorrow in the San Antonio Texas temple. I know Families can be together forever! Best of luck in your career! :)
absolutely love this song! It fits my mother to a T! Love the way she included all the children's music! Just a beautiful song about a mother! love it!
Oh my goodness!!! This is my favorite song. I'm so thankful for my mom and all the other mothers out there and all that they do for us all. This song is amazing!!! It puts my thoughts into words.
Thank you for this beautiful song, Calee! I hear it, from time to time on Pandora, and it makes me cry every time remembering when my children were little, & I would sing them primary songs (all that you refer to in your song), especially at bed time. My kids are all grown, and I always wondered if they remember that time, when they were little & I sang to them and with them. A few months ago, my oldest daughter sent me the link to this video, saying that it made her think of me. Tears of joy fell for quite a while. Thanks for helping her remember! ❤
Thank you so much for such a beautiful song! I know your Mom is so proud and blessed to have such a beautifully talented and caring daughter. She taught you well in the gospel. You will see her again and spend eternity with her. Keep her memory alive in your music! I so look forward to hearing more of your music. My daughter is a dancer and I can see her dancing to this , however she is serving a mission right now. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to know calee in person I even got to visit that house when my aunt died (she also came to that funeral) I also know there family personal I even got to meet her daughter
Calee, I seriously just bawled watching this. You are such a beautiful person, with such a great heart :) And I only wish I'd had the opportunity to know your mother. She seems like such a wonderful woman! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us! I loved this song, and I can't wait to go get your CD! :) Love you Calee!! Keep shining like you do! :)
Thank you, Calee, for this. I remember listening to this one of the first times on a flight somewhere, tears streaming down my face, with such appreciation for your gift and talent, for your parents' love, and for you sharing such a sweet tribute to your mom.
What a beautiful tribute! She must be so proud of you, Calee! Well done! My mother also raised me on a steady diet of good music. It has been the greatest gift of my life!
beautiful ! Love the lyrics so uplifting and describe qualities of my mum, not everyone gets to see them all. But i know and feel them there. Love my mum to bits. we will be using your song for her service
Calee, thank you so much for touching the hearts of the people around you through your music. I loved being able to talk with you at tofg and feel how genuine of a person you are. Keep spreading smiles and warmth. :)
This is beautiful! I'm hearing this for the first time... thank you for the tears of remembering. Yes, my Mom "Put the Music In Me" also. And thank you for the Primary music lines. She was the chorister for so many years. You described a lot of who she was... and I'm a pianist and organist because of her. Her name was also Rita and we lost her to cancer in 1998. I WILL buy this music!! Have a blessed Christmas season! Thank you again!
I got to meet her it was the best moment ever . I have been made fun of all my life for being lds , and she helped me throw it. I cry so hard when she told me her a story I felt so much better . everyone remember who you are it doesn't better what color you are religion you go to we are all the same people and that's all that matters everyone needs to help equal we are all equal in our own ways and that's all that matters
Congratulations by your mother. She did the difference in your life. She show the light of Jesus to you and He bright your way. When Jesus coming, he will call your mother and she awaken from sleep and find Jesus for to live forever with him. God blessed you and your family. Revelation 1:16-18.

Still my favorite Mothers Day song sent to me from my daughter Angela Villa years ago. :-)
A friend of mine introduced me to Calee Reed's song about 6 years ago. I was going through a particularly hard time in my life, and deeply missed my mother - even though by then she had been gone (also from cancer, as Calee's mom did) for about 8 years.

Even though Calee's mom and mine were very different, I'm grateful for the love and healing in this song. It helps me want to be a better mom and Christian to my children and also those around me.
It started with rock-a-bye, comforting when I'd cry
All in her own style
Then popcorn before my eyes, turning frowns upside down
Into smiles
With songs of the birds up high, looking at the blue, blue sky
The wind as it rushes by
Then leading me, guiding me, walking beside me she helped me
To walk in the light
And she built my house on a rock
And she lives all that she taught
And she is all that a woman should be
She put the music in me
I knew He was really there, He heard my child's prayer
Answering from up above
She gave like a little stream, I was her sunbeam
And I felt my Savior's love
I saw her kneel and pray with our family every day
Listening to each whispered word
Gentle in deed and thought, all the things Jesus taught
Following promptings she heard
And she lives to search, ponder, pray
And she gives every day
So her thanks will always be thanks indeed
She put the music in me
He made the tiny wings of each little bird that sings
In the leafy treetops up high
And all creatures great and small, I know God made them all
Because of her sweet lullabies
She's like a star shining bright
And helps me to choose the right
And she gives me the hope of a life yet to be
She put the music in me
She is so good to me
Heavenly Father sent her to me
And she taught me to lift up my voice and sing
She put the music in me
She put the music in me
She put the music in me
My mother passed away just 6 months ago from cancer also, and this song perfectly expresses how I feel about her. Thank you for this wonderful song! It's nice to know there are others out there who are young like me going through the same thing... Thanks again for sharing!

It's 6am and I'm feeding my little baby girl, crying my eyes out! I love this song! So happy I followed the link from a friends Facebook account this early morning! Wonderful song, beautiful voice, inspiring words!

There should be a LOVE button! Calee, amazing!!! There is no other word for it!
Regardless of what faith we hold, it is important to acknowledge how me pass on our love to our children...long after we are gone.
I Listen to this beautiful song every mother's day. What beautiful lyrics to honor the mother's influence in our lives. God is good.
i cry for her i cant picture my life without my mom!!!!
Thank you for this. Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary that I lost my mother to cancer and this song describes so perfectly the woman that she was and the role she played in my life.

Thank you Calee! What a beautiful tribute to your mother. I loved your use of so many of our favorite primary songs. The song is such a great reminder of all we, as mothers, should be.
I heard this amazingly beautiful song at the funeral of a dear friend, an a sweet, loving woman who I will miss and who reminds me of my own sweet, dear mother who passed away over a decade ago. What a tribute this song is! How perfect! It says all that is in my heart about my own mother and as I sat there listening to it, I couldn’t help but think, I sure wish they could sing this at my funeral and mean this about me! My mother taught us through music, and it is because of her my testimony of the Savior and the gospel grew...and my love of singing. Thank you for this beautiful tribute. Your mother must have been an angel. She must be so very proud of you and who you’ve become!
This song brings back memories of my own mother who also diedi in 2011. She taught me so much about whatis right and i still miss her.
I first heard this song yesterday at our Women’s Stake Conference and she was there to sing it live because she was our special guest. And just WOW! She is really really really good even in person. Pure talent!
Thanks Calee, you brought me to tears. I lost my mom 4 weeks ago & miss her terribly. But I know that our family is eternal & I will see her again. It is just so hard to be away from her. Thanks for sharing your talent. The video was so sweet & reminded me of the music that my sweet mommy gave to me.

I pray the Lord will bless and comfort you and that He will bless and comfort your mother as she passes from this life to the next.

I'll be thinking about you and praying for you and your sweet mom.
Thank you for your kind words. My mom passed away that same day that I wrote. It's been so hard. And yes I do feel the same way... I keep wanting to tell her something that happened, but I can't. Not in the way I want to tell her. I still talk to her and I know she is listening, but it's not the same. And I wonder the same thing... Will time really heal all heart aches. I feel separation anxiety. It hurts, but I'm trying to feel ok. My mom's funeral was beautiful. I feel peace when I go to her grave. I know she is happier and not in pain anymore. She is with her dad now. Thank you so much for replying to this. And I hope you are doing ok. I'm so sorry that you lost your mom too. It's hard, but like you said.. Our moms' made us strong. We can keep going because they would want us to keep living and they want us to be happy
What a great song. I miss my mom every day and this is a great tribute to mom's who went before their time. Thanks for reminding me how great my own mother was.
Thank you so much for this song! I heard it for the first time at the BYU Women's Conference this year. You have a beautiful voice. You have a wonderful loving spirit that shines through you when you sing! What a wonderful tribute to your mom. My mom passed away 9 years ago and it still brings me to tears today. When I heard your song the tears just flowed, I couldn't stop them. I felt such happiness as well, because I felt the same way about my mom. She put the music in me! She had such a love for music and especially hymns. Music lifts your soul and touches your heart. Thank you for sharing your talent. It's a wonderful way to share your testimony. You brought tears to my eyes and love to my heart.
wow this song is so touching. I am so grateful to have my mom with me. I will cherish her forever. She really did put the music in me. I loved how you used all those primary songs in it. It is truly beautiful and you are very talented.
I love this song! I assume your mom passed away because of cancer. My mother did. I miss her very much but am so grateful for the gospel. I get such a sense of peace when I think about her. Thanks for this song.
I love this! Your voice is beautiful! The words taken from Primary songs touch my ❤️. What an amazing tribute to your mother. Mothers love their children. This reflects that beautifully.
Calee thank you so much! I didn't even realize it was you mom until the hospital pictures. What a wonderful Tribute! Your mom inspired so many young people to love music including my own Kaylee!
My sweet angel mother died the same year as yours. This tribute is so beautiful! I know she smiles on you from heaven! It really touched my heart how you put all the lines from the primary songs in the lyrics. You have such a beautiful talent! Thank you for sharing it with the world!
hi
Thank You so much for this song, it made me remember all the wonderful things my own mother did for me and help me through before she died in 2011.
My grandma died of cancer in 2002. She always played music when we did our household chores so it's hard for me to work without music in the background. I guess you could say "Grandma Lowder put the music in me."
Bryan Kelly how sad
This made me cry😭 so sweet!!! How can people dislike this video!

Oh my goodness!!! This is my favorite song. I'm so thankful for my mom and all the other mothers out there and all that they do for us all. This song is amazing!!! It puts my thoughts into words.
This song deserves millions of views. Wow. Beautifully written and performed. Thank you so much!
I was in the last week in Brighton Camp and heard you sing. You are a amazing singer and you are so awesome!
You did wonderful Calee!
What a beautiful tribute and song!
Thank you for this beautiful song, Calee! I hear it, from time to time on Pandora, and it makes me cry every time remembering when my children were little, & I would sing them primary songs (all that you refer to in your song), especially at bed time. My kids are all grown, and I always wondered if they remember that time, when they were little & I sang to them and with them. A few months ago, my oldest daughter sent me the link to this video, saying that it made her think of me. Tears of joy fell for quite a while. Thanks for helping her remember! ❤
Thank you so much for such a beautiful song! I know your Mom is so proud and blessed to have such a beautifully talented and caring daughter. She taught you well in the gospel. You will see her again and spend eternity with her. Keep her memory alive in your music! I so look forward to hearing more of your music. My daughter is a dancer and I can see her dancing to this , however she is serving a mission right now. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to know calee in person I even got to visit that house when my aunt died (she also came to that funeral) I also know there family personal I even got to meet her daughter

Calee, I seriously just bawled watching this. You are such a beautiful person, with such a great heart :) And I only wish I'd had the opportunity to know your mother. She seems like such a wonderful woman! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us! I loved this song, and I can't wait to go get your CD! :) Love you Calee!! Keep shining like you do! :)

This is beautiful! I'm hearing this for the first time... thank you for the tears of remembering. Yes, my Mom "Put the Music In Me" also. And thank you for the Primary music lines. She was the chorister for so many years. You described a lot of who she was... and I'm a pianist and organist because of her. Her name was also Rita and we lost her to cancer in 1998. I WILL buy this music!! Have a blessed Christmas season! Thank you again!

Congratulations by your mother. She did the difference in your life. She show the light of Jesus to you and He bright your way. When Jesus coming, he will call your mother and she awaken from sleep and find Jesus for to live forever with him. God blessed you and your family. Revelation 1:16-18.
Beautiful
that is soo beautiful thank you for sharing
LOVE IT! wonderful job Calee!
Love this. Thank you.
you have an incredible voice. Beautiful
beautiful!
It started with rock-a-bye, comforting when I'd cry
All in her own style
Then popcorn before my eyes, turning frowns upside down
Into smiles
With songs of the birds up high, looking at the blue blue sky
The wind as it rushes by
Then leading me, guiding me, walking beside me she helped me
To walk in the light.
[Chorus:]
She built my house on a rock
And she lives all that she taught
And she is all that a woman should be
She put the music in me
I knew He was really there, He heard my child's prayer
Answering from up above
She gave like a little stream, I was her sunbeam
And I felt my Savior's love
I saw her kneel and pray with our family every day
Listening to each whispered word
Gentle in deed and thought, all the things Jesus taught
Following promptings she heard
[Chorus:]
She lives to search, ponder, pray
And she gives everyday
So her thanks will always be thanks indeed
She put the music in me
He made the tiny wings of each little bird that sings
In the leafy treetops up high
And all creatures great and small, I know God made them all
Because of her sweet lullaby
[Chorus:]
She's like a star shining bright and helps me to choose the right
And she gives me the hope of a life yet to be
She put the music in me
She is so good to me, Heavenly Father sent her to me
She taught me to lift up my voice and sing
She put the music in me.
She put the music in me.
She put the music in me.
Beautiful!
