In Their Words: "I wrote 'Mother' for my son, shortly after he was born. I don't usually approach songs so directly, but this one came out that way and seemed like it would fall apart if I tinkered with it. I was craving simplicity in my own world at the time, which had been turned on its head." — Adam Busch
