Mother (3:49)
227,363 plays (71,640 listeners)
John Lennon’s “Mother” is the expression of pain and beauty.
If anyone knows the story of John Lennon’s upbringing and family-life (or-lack-of) they will understand the pain behind this song.
As great as this song is, it is so terribly sad to listen to.
Equally, on the benefit for Darfur album, Christine Aguilera (as non-John as she is…) Rips your heart out with her rendition as well.
This is a song to be appreciated and maybe not a regular play, at least for the light of heart…

Fuck me the intro to Mother (Bells..) is the same as Edgard Varèse Poeme Electronique. Post; Avant Garde, Puritan, purge, culture mystique rejection Lennon ... what were the chances ... ? maybe Yoko's idea?
