    Default Mother

    No need to freak out, this is man the animal talking to Mother Earth. Any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental.

    Sung with relatively long odd lines: "motheeer", "sorryyyy", "youuu" etc., followed by quickly sung even lines. The chorus is sung fast with a strong rhythm.

    Man's got to fight the speed of light if he wants another Mother.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Mother
    thanks for life.
    I am sorry
    I've made you cry.
    Mother
    if you don't mind
    I'll kill you,
    I need your hide.

    Chorus:
    I'm man and I am not your only son
    f**k the others, I take what I want.
    I've got to fight the speed of light
    'cause you, mommy-o, are burnin' bright.

    Mother
    why the rage?
    I don't like
    the hurricanes.
    Mother
    please don't mind
    I'm just tryin'
    to have a life.

    I'm man and I am not your only son
    f**k the others, I take what I want.
    I've got to fight the speed of light
    'cause you, mommy-o, are burnin' bright.

    Mother
    where'd I go?
    It feels so
    freakin' cold.
    Mother,
    mother, no!
    I deserve
    another go!

    Great song,great message.Your only "problem" is when you name your song the same as a John Lennon Masterpiece,you're almost defeated before you start.Even your explanation of how it's to be sung resembles his version.I don't think that you're aware of this,you would have rechristened it,I'm sure.Listen to Lennon's song,maybe call it Mother Earth!

    OI,
    The fact that it will"never be recorded"is a terrible way to view your own music.This,to me,is one of the best and most relatable songs you've written.If I didn't like it so much,I wouldn't have bothered to Reply to your above remark!Who cares if it's never recorded?You do,but that's no reason to not stand behind your work.There was a movie released about Lennon's early years called Nowhere Boy.It's closing credits have an outtake of "Mother."That alone is worth watching the movie for.Changing the name of this is a simple thing;hit"edit post!"I think this is an outstanding song,I hope you take what I said seriously.This song is worth fighting for.Mother's Son is also a possibility.

    A month or two ago?Ah,I don't know quite what to say.Not know their work and being a songwriter is an interesting dilemma.I suggest you get all their recording and see if you learn anything about what it takes to been the most successful songwriting team in music history.I think you'll also find endless enjoyment.
