in the beginning I was like "ok, a basic cover but sounds good" and then 30 seconds later it turned to "holy shit this is the best cover I've ever heard"
can u just imagine? mom: ah, thats such a wonderful song. mom's friends: you're so lucky to have such a lovely daughter. mom: ah, thank you. (insert name here), would you pls sing the song for her? with the lyrics? you: MAMA WE ALL GO TO HELL mom and mom's friends: the fuck
+Cotton Candy Cascade I played a version of this before and had someone ask me that question, that was a fun one to answer ;) Unfortunately I haven't played it in months and have forgotten most of it... :(
"ok everyone this is the song mama, let's listen to the full song before beginning to play, so we can get a feel for the notes and rhythm" everyone with an agape mouth and eyes wide with horror. then the emo kids in the back swaying peacefully to the music and holding each other as tears of happiness cut through their eyeliner
Where can I find the sheet music for this version? I haven’t played the keys in several years. I’m getting a piano in a few weeks and I’m so excited to play again !
* me as a parent * me: * plays mama * baby: * hums tune, and memorizes it * _8 years later_ me: mama we all go to hell child: mama we all go to hell, i'm writing, this lettah, and wishing, you well, mama we all go to hell me: ITS ANOTHER EMO
Mama, we all go to hell. Mama, we all go to hell. I'm writing this letter and wishing you well, Mama, we all go to hell. Oh, well, now, Mama, we're all gonna die. Mama, we're all gonna die. Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry, Mama, we're all gonna die. And when we go don't blame us, yeah. We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah. You made us, oh, so famous. We'll never let you go. And when you go don't return to me my love. Mama, we're all full of lies. Mama, we're meant for the flies. And right now they're building a coffin your size, Mama, we're all full of lies. Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue, You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son. If you could coddle the infection They can amputate at once. You should've been, I could have been a better son. And when we go don't blame us, yeah. We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah. You made us, oh, so famous. We'll never let you go. She said: "You ain't no son of mine For what you've done they're gonna find A place for you And just you mind your manners when you go. And when you go, don't return to me, my love." That's right. Mama, we all go to hell. Mama, we all go to hell. It's really quite pleasant Except for the smell, Mama, we all go to hell. 2 - 3 - 4 Mama! Mama! Mama! Ohhh! Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma... [Liza Minelli:] And if you would call me your sweetheart, I'd maybe then sing you a song [Gerard Way:] But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun, You would cry out your eyes all along. We're damned after all. Through fortune and flame we fall. And if you can stay then I'll show you the way, To return from the ashes you call. We all carry on (We all carry on) When our brothers in arms are gone (When our brothers in arms are gone) So raise your glass high For tomorrow we die, And return from the ashes you call.
I've been trying to mimic this for months. By far my favorite Mama piano cover. I totally thought I had it down and was super proud of myself, I just watched this and realized I'm nowhere near.... You've blown my mind.
For all you people who think you can't learn this: You can, but it will take time. The beginning and the chorus use mostly VAMPING, which is one of the easiest bass patterns in piano, and the medley in the chorus for the bass is played with the right hand after the voice part, so there's no rhythm separation.
The countless amounts of times I have come back just to listen to this amazingness and say to myself "I will never be this awesome, BUT I WILL DAMN WELL TRY!" :D
So many non-MCR people would mistake it for some sort of classical piece. (It'd be fun to play this for friends who kinda dis MCR, then go -- "guess what?") Really shows how well MCR captured an early-20th-cent. sound. Excellent job on your part.
