Jay Brannan - Good Mother Lyrics
I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Just be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything so bad...
Cardboard masks of all the people
I've been
Dented God Damned miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Just be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything so bad...
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Heart in hand

Jay Brannan Good Mother Comments
So so so so so good. Thank you. Are you still performing these days?
日本?のしんみりした洋楽メドレーみたいな動画にこの曲が入っていて、それから好きになって、1年前くらいから沢山聴きに来てます。
もうこの方活動されてないんですかね…?
声と歌い方とても好きです。
Was trying to find her doing covers just learnt she does but found u is playing while type :) I covered this on fb mins in I can tell ur good:)
Jay can u sing unloved by Jann Arden plz
You're realty good!
Beautiful
this exact cover was printed onto a playlist in one of my favourite french books
Beautiful voice
omg melting!!! You have a beautiful voice and this is an amaaaaazing cover.! I,,,love...it
=') You give me chills. I love your voice. I wish you the very best, always, thank you for so soothing music!!! :)
Wow, Jay...you nailed it. I've been a Jann Arden fan, almost as long as you've been alive. Nice job. I cry whenever I hear this song because I miss my Mom so much. Thank you.
Whenever I watch this video, I can't help but remember how it felt to fall in love for the first time. I could listen to this for hours.
Get on a stage!! You've got a brilliant voice and play very well.. I think you'll shine even more there :)
Very good, i love this song :)
Beautiful song...beautiful voice...beautiful soul...
THIS is my favorite song! You sing it soo well!
Would you marry me ? I love you
Jay,...Where do you go when you sing? Your song takes over! Well done ! I've been playing all my life and I understand what you feel!!
Dave
I love the way you do this one. thanks
Very Nice :)
By the way, I loved it, in case that wasn't clear. :)
You've done a really masterful imitation. What you could do next is make your version of it your own. When I was listening to you I thought of a Buddhist phrase "The technique beyond technique". After a thing is technically perfect, it just needs technique beyond technique. I hope that means something to you
thanks dearest!
I'm a pretty big fan of Jann Arden. Love this tune. Jann and Jay are both gay, so what I get from this song is that they just want to be themselves, "facing forward be yourself" I think Jann was maybe tired of pretending to be someone else, "cardboard, masks of all the ppl I've been" She has a Mom and Dad that love her and it dosent make her any different, she is a person who is loved and just wants to be loved for who she is.
wow! really good!
what is it that he/ Jann Arden wants so bad?
cool cool
actually love this so much, beautiful voice. I even put it on my ipod!
Your voice is so perfect!! And flawless -3 beautiful!!
This is an amazing cover, gives me shivers everytime I hear it! Amazing
Glad to see that I am not the only one that keeps revisting... HE is actually divine on this song. Love him!!
you've done a very beautiful job with this song. thanks
I would love to hear you cover Joey from Concrete Blondes. You could tear that song up.
Really like your voice and how it's nicely complimented by the guitar.
Check out jesse strawn on youtube!! 10x better
love that !!
I don't know what's wrong with me the more and more I watch your vids I get more and more unatracted to you...:( but I just clicked the vids of you in a hoodie :) and your back to Outrageously Sexy, it's something about you and your hoodie's ;) love ya Jay <3
jay brannan,
i know you don't know me, but i think you should know that you are an amazing artist. your music is something that i can look forward to everyday, you keep me going.
You are amazing!!!!
AWESOME COVER! I've already been a big fan of yours for a while...but this took it to a whole new level. Maybe one of these days I'll cover one of your songs to pay tribute, and expose others, to your amazing talent.
Great job JB
I always cry when I hear Jann singing this.. and you've done it to me too!!! So beautifully done. Thanks bud.
wow, I think I just fell in love *blush*
goosebumps
This one if my fav so far. I like the way you sing it better than the original. I can feel and relate to it a lot more.
One of my favorite songs of yours. Love it! I think that I can relate to this one the most so far. :)
I love this version!! I have always loved Jan's version, but you are fantastic!
...beautiful....emotional...real....genuine....effortless...
What a gorgeous tone your voice has....ear candy!!!
Hi great job with this song. I love this song, what a great cover. Great voice and nice guitar playing. Sounds like finger picking to me. How long have you been playing and singing? I'm also a musician and play guitar and sing.
you sing like an angel I would like to have a voice like your. SO AMAZING !!!
awesome voice. props
Wow, this is amazing. Great job!
Awesome cover! Next time you're in Vancouver, I am so there
mee tooo
he owns his own record deal (I think thats what its called) called great depression records
I was listening to Pandora radio, and this song came on it. I was like O_O Holy fuck he has an amazing voice. This is truly a great song. Good cover version. Well done Jay <3
I can't stop nodding in agreement with you!! I love this version so much more than Jann Arden's!! It's addictive!
oh my god your amazing! i love it !
Damn your voice and your version of this song is breath-taking! Killer! LOVE IT! ;)
I love Jann, she can do no wrong .. what a lovely tribute to her song!

An amazing cover of an amazing song. I'm all goose bumpy! :)
I'm completely drowning in your voice.
my mom wants to tell you that she loves you and your voice (L)
You're amazing, this is a great cover!
too mellow...Jaan's version has way more passion.
Fantastic, your rendition gave me goosebumps. You have such a great voice!
Thank you.
your voice is sooo pure so amazzing and sooo emotional!!
Your cover is better then the original!!
LOVE IT
I keep coming back to this version, somehow I think it's better than Jann Arden's...just phenomenal! I love Jann's version especially--without doubt. But you, you make me love, LOVE, this song!!
SO glad you covered this, Jay. I didn't think any Americans knew Jann outside of Canada (aside from the more forgettable "Insensitive"), and this happens to me favorite song she sings. I hope she hears your version!
have i told u lately...what an amazing cover this is....*sigh
I love this song. And you've done a good job with it. I like your voice.
Ok. That was beautiful.
Thank you.
almost makes me cry ! good job jay (and jann, of course)
gorgeous voice!
very good! sent by Jann herself from twitter as well.
Jann's twitter sent me here - very good cover.
Will you marry me? haha I just fell in love with your voice. I hope you never give up signing. :)
i didnt think this could be pulled of by a dude but im blown away as an artist and as a music affectionado
Holy fuck! I love this song! I can't believe it's been up almost a month and I'm JUST NOW seeing this video!!! Ah!
I normally hate covers that people do on youtube, but you are awesome. Great job and you chose a beautiful song.
amazing!
you have a fantastic way of making me love this cover.. a lot
BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo
Absolutely beautifully done...GREAT JOB
What chords are you playing...lol can you send them to me :P
and again..BEAUTIFUL VOICE
I can't state sufficiently how much I am in love with your voice!!! Just FUCKING phenomenal!!!
You know, I've never really listened to Jann Arden's music. The only song I've really heard of hers is from the Dawson's Creek's Theme song. "Run Like Mad". I absolutely love that song. Too bad it's only like 50 seconds long.
:(
Great job! I like to listen to you sing this song. And of course Jann!
Oh, you're cool.
WOW.. i dint think ne1 could sing a jann arden song as good as she can... that was awsome
can i have you?
k, thanks bye !
This guy made my day! There really ARE still some real men out there. Can we clone you?
Jay, you do this song so much justice. Loved it before, but love it so much more now. And it's awesome live...
wtf . WTF . HOLLY SHIT
u're so AMAZING. <3
i love ur voice .
What a lovely voice you have....good cover aswell! & you have a cute face aswell x
Jann is amazing - this is the best cover I've heard of any of her stuff. fantastic!
completely gorgeous. thanks for the beautiful version.
