John Lennon - Mother

I've not felt as much pain listening to someone's voice in a song, even though this pain is not immediately accessible to me - this one's about Lennon being abandoned at childhood. Towards the end it sounded more life funeral cries than a part of a song, where every single "mama don't go, daddy come home" is different and increasingly heart wrenching. The emotions so, so so raw.

My writing does not do any justice to it, please just press play.
