orig. John Lennon, written after a primal scream session, which is retained at the end in the beautiful and overwhelming recorded version. (Also, here's a great Live Version from Madison Square Garden.)
part of a "mother suite" that I'm working on that consists of songs about mothers. i envision that is a soundtrack for a movie that I've been roiling in the back of my mind for about a year now. the movie is re-telling of the Οἰδίπους tragedy retold on a 1950 Texas/Oklahoma border. needless to say, it involves a star kicker who has a club foot, hits the game-winning field goal at the homecoming game, goes on to become the mayor of his town, gets into a scuffle with the mayor of a neighboring town across the Red River, kills him, falls in love with his wife, has a daughter who eventually has to breast feed his frail body as it withers away into oblivion.
