About Good Mother

A year later, in 1995, Arden's song "Good Mother" was featured on the Dawson's Creek pilot episode, while her track "Run Like Mad" was the show's season 1 theme song (before being replaced by Paula Cole's "I Don't Wanna Wait" for the remaining seasons). Arden was a regular musical contributor to what would become the biggest teen drama of the decade.

"I wrote about a time in my life that's probably the most difficult time that I've ever been through," she tells CBC Music of These are the Days, which was recorded with producer Bob Rock. "My mom and dad both were diagnosed with basically dementia and Alzheimer's and a litany of other things. My health wasn't great. I was floundering. And so a lot of these songs came out of a really difficult time. But they're very triumphant to me. Coming out of the other side of that has been liberating, and I'm so glad that it's on record, so to speak; that it's actually been recorded. Just to remind myself 30 years from now that I survived it all."
