Ya Hey Der!



Sometimes a song comes to you. Not through a friend or music store. It finds you because you need it. Did I just blow your mind? These songs found me, and are a great example from the Vancouver band Mother Mother. The album cover is a fish with a hook in it's mouth, and that's pretty much a great description of me after hearing just a few tunes from the O My Heart album. I am including two insanely catchy tunes from it. Take a listen. Also, You are welcome.






Song: Wrecking Ball
Artist: Mother Mother

I made a wreck out of my hand,
I put it through the wall.
I made a fist and not a plan,
call me a wreckless wrecking ball.
I threw my plates against the wall
and give it all I got.
I aim to break, not one but all,
I'm just a big ol' wrecking ball.
I am unruly in the stands,
I am a rock on top of the sand,
I am a fist amidst the hands
and I break it just because I can.
Dah dah dah dah.. oh oh..
It takes a dedicated hand
to put it through the wall.
You gotta wanna break the hearts
of all those pretty porcelain dolls.
You gotta wanna be the drummer in the band
You gotta wanna be a battle ring ram
You gotta see the artistry in tearing the place apart with me, baby..
I am unruly in the stands,
I am a rock on top of the sand,
I am a fist amidst the hands
and I break it just because I can.
Lets break it..
just because we can.
Deface it,
just because we can.
Lets break it..
Just because.. just because.. just because..
just becauussee.

I am unruly in the stands,
I am a rock on top of the sand,
I am a fist amidst the hands
and I make a wreck out of my hand.
I make a fist and not a plan
and I break it just because I can,
because I can.. because I can..
because I can.. because I can..
because I can.. because I can..
because I caaann...




Song: Ghosting
Artist: Mother Mother

I've been ghosting,
I've been ghosting along.
Ghost in your house,
ghost in your arms.
When you're tossing, when you turn in your sleep,
it's because I'm ghosting your dreams.
And this is why I have decided
to pull these old white sheets from my head.
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
so that you'll know I'm out of hiding.
Yeaahh..
I've been ghosting,
I've been ghosting along.
Ghost in the world, ghost with no home.
I remember, I remember the days
when I'd make you oh so afraid.
And this is why I have decided
to leave your house and home unhaunted.
You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks.
You don't need treats,
and you don't need tricks.
You don't need treats.
You don't need tricks.
You don't need no Halloween..
You don't need treats,
you don't need tricks,
and you don't need me.
Heeyy..
Would it be so bad if I stayed?
I'm just a ghost out of his grave..
and I can make love in my grave..
I won't put white into your hair
I won't make noises in your stairs
I will be kind and I'll be sweet
if you stop staring straight through me..
And this is why I have decided
to pull these old white sheets from my head.
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
so that you'll know I'm out of hiding.
And this is why I have decided
to leave your house and home unhaunted.
You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks.
You don't need treats,
and you don't need tricks.
you don't need treats,
you don't need tricks.
You don't need no halloween..
you don't need treats..
you don't need tricks..
you don't need treats..
you don't need no hallow's eve..
you don't need treats..
you don't need tricks..
and you don't need..
meeeee....
