Pink Floyd - Mother (With Lyrics) 

Pink Floyds lyrics r deeper than most will ever understand....pure genius.....

I watched "The Wall" for the first time on "Black Fly" LSD at 17 yrs old. I have been a much more conscientious human being. I accepted my pain..forgave my guilt, the wrongs of my abusive childhood, and the amount of loss that no 17 yr old should already carry..and moved on to a better life, now as a 45 yr old man. If drugs are used to expand the consciousness and the user is attuned to USING the drug to reach enlightenment, as opposed to weak entertainment. It changes lives. I'm a very happy 18 yr career Chef that has worked with world famous restaurants and Chefs and have lived peacefully, and meditatively, and love every minute and note that Pink Floyd has made my life to be... No one is alone in thier pain. We all feel it and we can all help each other to beat it. Music is a god who has all answers!

"Mother did it need to be so high?" is one of the most heart breaking lyrics in any song.

The world wouldn't be the same if pink floyd never existed they are so unique and quality that's it's hard to believe

This song gets me every time.. reminds me of my deceased Mom... 3+ years R.I.P. Mom... Love you/miss you

Pink Floyd is such a iconic band. Their lyrics are so profound and will be timeless and relevant for decades to continue.

Pink Floyd is the best band I ever listen to I listen to it all my life when I was 16 I never stop now I'm 54 thier still the band

its about a young boy that loses his father in the war and is raised by his overly protective mother. The child grows up alone as an outsider that absolutely does not fit in. He feels trapped by his overly protective environment while being shunned by the people around him. and when he says she is building a wall, he means she just wants the two to be trapped in a wall with only each other. It says, 'mother, did it have to be so high" because she built that wall too high. did that help?

I know this song is about an overbearing/protective mother. But the thing I love about music, is you can always see it from your own perspective. My mom died 4 years ago of a heroin overdose and this song fills me with thoughts of her. All of the questions that he asks, and all of the questions I have for her, that she can no longer answer. “She won’t let you fly but she might let you sing”. Is how I feel everyday, I feel stuck - I have the words but I don’t have the ability to take myself higher. I have a little brother as well, and I feel like my perspective on this song would fit him perfectly. And she always told me I would always be her baby. “Mother, did it need to be so high?” Also fits my perspective of this song too well.

In 1979 I was 16 years old, over the past 42 years I have purchased this masterpiece on vinyl, cassette, CD and digital DL………,even though I haven’t listened to this double album in years, I still know every songs lyrics by heart. But forget to what I did 4 days ago.

Love Pink Floyd...every tune, song, track relates to most of us and our experiences of life. The only band with lyrics to every song that actually seep deep into your brain and trigger all your emotions.

My dad died before I was born, as a matter of fact, I heard my mom was only 2 weeks pregnant when he died, I heard it brought her out of her depression, im just soo thankful to have grown up in the family I had growing up, we lived with grandma n my aunts n uncle in my youth, they were like my brother n sisters, I miss you all so much !!!

Pink floyd: makes you think of the past, present, and future all at once...

Roger Waters: "If you can level one accusation at mothers, it is that they tend to protect their children too much. Too much and for too long. This isn't a portrait of my mother, although one or two of the things in there apply to her as well as to I'm sure lots of other people's mothers."

It warms my heart everytime this gets played by the OG lineup, solo members, or covering acts and the crowds yells "NO!" when they sing "Mother should I trust the government?"

i cry when I hear this song. my son passed away and if only I had been there to protect him ... he would still be here

The Wall has to be one of the Best albums ever released ! When it came out I was in tenth grade, I bought the album and in about three weeks of playing it over and over again till all the lyrics sunk in my stoned brain I knew all the lyrics... I could fill in for Gilmore because I know just about all the lyrics to all their songs ! The Greatest Band Ever !!!

I just realized , I know every word on the entire “the wall” album. Love Pink Floyd 💛

2:52 -tears in my eyes everytime.

There are so many epic guitar solos in this album !!! And when you hear them they send you to a place of euphoria !!!

So much beautifulness and sadness in 1 setting 😢 💔

There is just something special about this classic tune ,then agan that's what sets Pink Floyd apart , even today their music sounds way ahead of its time

Been listening to pink Floyd since I was a little baby mom and dad would always be playing them growing up. Some songs feel like home. The effect they have on me change over the years but always evoke deep feelings with deep memories.

Can't express how grateful I am that my dad shared his love of all things Pink Floyd. I grew up listening and now that he's gone when I listen I feel him beside me. Truly can't put into words what it means...the poetry...the music will forever live as long as I draw breathe.

I can't imagine how life would be not being aware of Pink Floyd. One of my favorite musical genius's ever. They seemed like they got into other genres too . Blues and jazz and some disco, also some country. And I love them all. Thank God for "dark side of the moon" it's what I played when I got bigh the first time.

This is so reflective of here and now!!!

If the world ended, Pink Floyd would be played at the end like a movie

"Mother did it need to be so high" felt this lyrics 🥲 love this band so much ❣

My siblings and I used to speak these lyrics as the song played on the radio, to my Mom, like we were really conversating...lol she never would get it until we got to " Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls" "Damnit you kids I thought you were really saying something! " Lol! I sure do love and miss her!

Another truly great Pink Floyd song. Just perfect.

Mother did it need to be so high...? That’s deep love Pink Floyd always && 4ever my favorite

this song is so bitter sweet . Why does it gotta describe my mom perfectly😞

This goes out to my ex wife. She's a beautiful and wonderful mother. I'd never have a bad word to say about her, I will Love her, ex lover new found friend, sorry we grew apart! All my love to you and the kids. Dad...

J'm sixteen, from Serbia, and J'm listening pink floyd ever since J can remember and J can't imagine one day without them. My brother is the biggest fen, and he talks abaut them to everyone, he explained everything from 'the wall'to me when J was ten and there is noboby else who understand that movie as much as he can in this country. J would like to say that, if GILMOUR ever comes to Serbia, J'll be the first one there to watch him. He ain't human, he is something else.

The genius of Pink Floyd. To me this piece captures the dilemma of the relationship btw parents and adult children like nothing else. It's part of the album "The Wall" - symbol for protection and separation, inevitably enmeshed. It explores the dilemma of the child - how much you unveil of yourself, struggles, questions, insecurities and dreams. Bc the child trades off privacy and intimacy for support plus control, enmeshed- the wall. It shatters the narcissistic fantasy of the parent - that bc they wish well they can offer one w/o the other. They end up helping building the wall. Btw child and world. They are the world as well though...and their fate is to get it wrong at least to some degree, in one or the other direction - too little/too much involvement. I noticed that mother doesn't ask questions. She gets what the adult child wants to share of his inner monologue. And she doesn't offer answers either, she monologues about babying the young man, terrified of his emotions and pain.

WOW love Pink Floyd for addressing the "mother" issues in ALL OF US ...no exceptions to the rule !

I like the sigh at the first part.

this lyrics are deeper than we think, Pink Floyd is awesome🖤

38 ANOS... E NUNCA SENTI ESSA MÚSICA TÃO PERFEITA PRA MIM!!! 😢😢😢😢

@AJRead2 It's not strange, I first started listening to Pink Floyd in 1972, I was 15. I am 54 and still enjoy it daily. Hearing kids like you are listening, restores my faith that my generations music will live on. Be proud to know real music. My children appreciate music, and their children will do too.

The move and album mean so much. Some may believe it would be horrible to have lived a life like pink. I feel its been a blessing!!! So much learned.

The "devouring' mother. All these years I thought that he was speaking of a loving mother.....until I listened to jordan peterson. That song is definitely about the " devouring" mother😢

I love pink Floyd. And not to mention. Steve Miller band, the eagles, led zeppelin, iron butterfly, black sabbath, and the other bands in that time era

im pretty sure im only part of the 10% of 15 year olds that listens to pink floyd . i grew up listening to pink floyd literally all my life thank you dad :D

Took me 11 years since I first heard this song, for I get hit by every word it has today. Each and everyone come with a tear from my eyes. Well done guys, you helped to wash my soul

@Sep2019 & forever, that feel listening to this song never fades..

One of the best Floyd songs awesome just awesome

I grew up listening to hip hop but regularly listen to Pink Floyd since I am literally named after them, Floyd is my name. Pink Floyd is legendary GREAT music

Missing my mom....ultimate definition of unconditional love

Jimmy Clark ,Debbie and Mercedes .... I miss you all. Bert from Germany.. hello up there somewhere in Chicago.

Nadčasová klasika, která obohatí život, díky za To!!!💯

This song is so deeply like the most of the pink, I loved it so much, everyone can understand from his perspective. Love pink floyd since 1988 to the eternity!

Nothing can compete Pink Floyd Band, who has already touched the highest limits of Sky and may be his music is creating wonderful experiences to the Aliens of other planets in Universes.

I sought out this song because tomorrow is Mother's Day. As I scrolled down and read many of the comments, I realized just how much meaning this song and this band have--to so many-and in so many different ways💔 I think the gift music gives to all of us - especially in a song like this, is perspective.❤

I can feel my mother heart around of me when i hear this song! AMAZING!!!

My favorite band of all time pink floyd my favorite guitarist Stevie Ray and my favorite singer is Chris Cornell. Blessed with these legends

The comfort of this Mother’s song is beyond compare, and far superior splendor. Thank you very much for my mother . A long farewell . So long . I will live a little more while defending your warning，mother.

I have a super hard time hearing above loud noises. Growing up I remember i had to read music out of the cassettes and CD’s (remember they came with lyrics); then i really understood the story of it all. Thank you so very much for doing this.

Classic case of how David's vocals are so sweet together

So high...a different meaning is that it was just so much joy in those young years.

Loved this album for years! ♥

So many people connect with Pink Floyd in their own personal way. Once you connect youll fall in love with them

About as deep as it gets. Thanks mom for taking the bridal off of me and swatting me on the tail so I could run free! Made some mistakes but that ❤was always ALWAYS there!!!

Amazing guitar solo. Simple to listen, complicated to don't let it touches your soul.

Waters went on to admit to Mojo that the overly protective suffocating mother portrayed in the song has some similarities to his own mum. He said: "My mother was suffocating in her own way. She always had to be right about everything. I'm not blaming her. That's 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.

What a beautiful and truthful song!!! its exactly how I feel for ALL my lovely kids!!!!!!

WHAT A MASTERPIECE OF A BAND.💟 U PINK FLOYD 💞💞💞

My Mother suffered from an illness before I was born. I was 28 years old, she was 60 years old when she died. My 2 older sisters lived their lives doing what they wanted while myself, the baby of the family had to deal with her illness far more than everyone else. It was extremely hard for my mom and myself. Her insecurities made her shelter me out of fear. This song hits home hard. It was a life of poverty, pills and illness. I was not flawless as a son, but id never leave you mom. I forgive everyone including myself, just hope she has done the same.

Mama's gonna put all her fears into you. 😢

The lyrics of this are timeless. I listen to this song every day i drive.

the labour pains NEVER EVER end for mothers, whose heart is broken fr all good intentions, and her children get scattered and lost

It's so weird for people to take this master piece in a literal sense, although this song is about a child who lost his mother at an early age! And grows up asking all these questions! And gets all the answers from with in!

This song is a loved song in my family. I'm ten but yet, I know the beatles, and all the good songs, I understand them, I wish you were her also stands for my family.

The words they sang then are the words we say now. Brilliant

Goosebumps!!! 😔😔

this song brings back some of my best memories and with everything going on in this world this song is perfect

im only 12 and pink floyd is my favorite band they are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this song is cool to

I've seen this show twice and Dark Side of the Moon twice. Best concert experience of my life.

Happy Birthday Roger

The old stuff in the rolodex never fades though.The haunting returns daily. It was supposed to lose it's energy and fade into the abyss.But it didn't. It came back to life so many times i've lost track.There's no pill,no therapy,no incantation to silence it. pink floyd ❤️❤️❤️ Mother ❤️ Mother, do you think she's good enough-for me? Mother, do you think she's dangerous-to me? Mother, will she tear your little boy apart? Mother, will she break my heart?

David and roger compliment each other so effectively vocally

Mother!! Best guitar solo ever!!!!

Mother, do you think the time is gone, the song is over, and I have become Comfortably Numb?

im 12 and i looove pink floyd the other kids in my school listen to juston bobor and lady goga not me ! i love pinkfloyd , metallica . rolling stones , nirvana , led zepellin , men at work , beatles and much more awesome bands

Mother will you keep me sheltered from the real world

2:52 and cry, is one of the solos in all rock history 🎶🎶🎶❤❤

mother shoud i build the wall! just great songwriting..

This is just as relevant today as it ever was!!!

mother should I trust the government no son certainly not

So Many awesome memories in life.

listening on Mother's Day

2:51 one of the best things I'll ever hear in life ❤️

for every mother

My mother was a very overly protective mother, as a young lad I was pissed at her for that very reason, now 45yo. I'm thankful for how she was and I can only try to be as good of a son/ father with my children. I'm a bit more laid back.

I'm 18 and I was raised on Pink Floyd and other classics and they are amazing I can listen to this new "music" but it is not all that great

They will drop the bomb again, but before they do I just want you to know I love you and the Universe loves you too which you'll soon find is true.

Mother will she break my heart...😢

this is my favorite song of all time yes I dedicated it to my son Tyler

The first album I ever purchased. 1970s. Good call.

Fantastic song love it to bits
