\u201cMother\u201d is one of many songs on The Wall<\/em>, Pink Floyd\u2019s 1979 behemoth double-album, which came partially from the life experience of chief songwriter Roger Waters. Waters told Mojo<\/em> magazine in 2009 about how the mother in the song was partially inspired by his own. \u201cMy mother was suffocating in her own way,\u201d he said. \u201cShe always had to be right about everything. I\u2019m not blaming her. That\u2019s who she was. I grew up with a single parent who could never hear anything I said, because nothing I said could possibly be as important as what she believed. My mother was, to some extent, a wall herself that I was banging my head against.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song is structured as a dialogue, with Waters playing Pink, the rock-star protagonist of The Wall<\/em> who, even as an adult, peppers his mother with life questions so that she can essentially dictate his choices. His queries zigzag wildly from concerns about the state of the world to the quality of his latest single: \u201cMother do you think they\u2019ll drop the bomb\/Mother do you think they\u2019ll like this song?\u201d He eventually asks her to suss out the competition for his affection: \u201cMother do you think she\u2019s good enough to me\/Mother do you think she\u2019s dangerous to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
