Discover the story behind The Wall on previous posts here and here.
Mother is a song taken from Pink Floyd's album The Wall.
According to Waters in an interview for Mojo magazine, he said "The idea that we can be controlled by our parents' views on things like sex. The single mother of boys, particularly, can make sex harder than it needs to be."
The Wall is about Pink's story - an alienated and unfortunate rock star. On the song Mother is explained that part of Pink's alienation comes from being raised by a overprotective single mother, that lost her husband in World War II - just like Waters.
On this song is explained how protective Pink's mother is and how much she wants to help her son to "build the wall" and protect him from the outside and hurtful world.
"Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
Momma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Momma won't let anyone dirty get through
Momma's gonna wait up until you get in"
