Mother Mother - Baby Boy Lyrics

Why do the songs from this album give me some weird nostalgia like I've heard them before.. somewhen. Anyway, I actually discovered this band because of some animation memes- no matter how cringy they actually are sometimes, the music is really good mostly. And now I've kinda become a fan of this band. Keep it up, Mother Mother- you're doing very well.

Isn't this Alligators Play? Or was that made after this?

This gives me some serious until dawn vibes... I love it

am I the only one hearing this as acoustic when it wasn't before?

good god this band is fantastic.

I JUST GOT DESTROYA FLASHBACKS

Dissapointment I’M SO HAPPY I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DID

0:33 My English Bull dog after running up the front stairs.

Their music is so so unique and the sound is something that is their identity it's amazing.

I was listening to this, and I thought, "Hey, this sounds kind of self destructive" and then I realized that that's exactly what this song is about- self-destructive behaviors. And some of them sound all too familiar to me.


_"I cut myself, I jump on in."_

Mother mother is so underrated. >8c
I love it so much its not fair.

"I'm a little kid with a big death wish"
/r/ c-ptsd

hey uhh way too relatable but thanks love the bop otherwise

what musical geniuses

Fire burns my skin but I still want to play with

saw a Shane Madej edit on tumblr with this song and decided to check it out. No regrets! I like this song

Am i the only one who gets major Sherlock vibes from this? The chorus is Mycroft towards Sherlock, calling him 'baby brother', and worrying about his safety. 'My best friends girl' is talking about Mary.

You know, I was listening to a really happy song before this.
This came on and I zoned out into happiness

oh my god this came on the radio in calgary and I freaked out

ive never heard this band before but im glad that i discovered them!!! awesome music

i let him enter to make some....smores

A magnificent song. You humble me with your repeated musical abilities.

Don’t you need me, oh bABy bOIiiii

This is definitely my favorite Mother Mother song. A dear friend of mine sent this to me a while ago, said it reminded her of me. Ever since, it's been helping me through hard times.. it's a reminder that somebody loves you and worries about you, even if you don't think anyone does.

as you can see there are no colors here but shades =}

sorry, i love this song, but i don't get the main idea. can anyone explain it to me?

Problems through life, family reaction to it?

Or percieved family perception n reactions

It's about Molly's fear of losing her brother to his old drug habit

That note tho! @ 2:48 brings a tear to my eye every time. so powerful! beautiful voice, beautiful band!

the new album is so incredible, its everything i love about their old music, perfectly blended with their newer VGBT style. love it.

Quality music,,,Quality songs-singing! Funny...they are Rock,,,A wonderful new kind of Rock,,,you can understand all the lyrics ! CONGRATULATIONS to this band..They are awesome....!!!

Mother mother is so underrated and it makes me cry they should be freaking famous

Wonderfu!

i'm so glad you guys are made a new album!!! it's been too long

I just turned 70 last week. I have been a fan of Mother Mother for years. Every album seems to be more musically sophisticated than the last. I consider them one of the best musical groups in the world. I am seeing them in Edmonton Alberta on March 16. I'm afraid I will probably embarrass the hell out of my partner.

So you 72 now?

Robert Smith happy birthday

Wholesome

I'm 51, i thought i might be the oldest here, glad i'm wrong.There musical creativity stands out to me too. They cant be denied.

woah, i'm 11 and my friend from school introduced me to this. i thought the only people listening were qUiRKy 14 year old girls and my friend lol

they love ink ;-;

absolutely adore all of Mother Mother's music~~

Gotta be the best song on the new album, next to Family. <3

these baby boy eat Green Beans

can someone explain me or give me your ideas of meaning of this song? i love this song so much!!

All these songs have such a great impact, and dear god the composition of this one i just UGHHG cant get enough!

Tix bought to their concert in March back in Vancouver. Can't wait!!!!

What is this song about?

"This song was written to be about Ryan Guldemond & Molly Guldemond’s relationship when they were younger. Molly sings about the fear of losing her little brother to bad habits and life threatening situations."

I really love the southern gothic feel of this one :'O

Veenchesta same, that's a good way to describe it.

hey this music is on spotify but ''the drugs'' is still not on spotify please put all of your musics to spotify ( love you guys <3 )

mmmmmmmm 3/10 at best

Rick Sanchez hwat

Now I have to memories all the lyrics to the song now I just need to listen to it for the next 2 day's and I will be good.

this song really makes me think of dark dipper and i love it so much

I don't know, I love this band but this last album just feels a bit off

yes yes yes

Officially my new favorite song!!

<3 these lyrics have always been one of my favourites!!!! I am in love with every single song...ever, every day! You guys make me so very proud to be Canadian!!!!

all their songs seem a bit strange

I like this song the most so far 😍 soooooo good

Don't think I have ever loved a band as much as I love mother mother. I wish they came to Edmonton more often :(

Rei Dabels same

i really liked "alligators play", especially for the chorus. it was a B-side/ demo track that never got put onto an album, but it has the same verses as this. i guess they re purposed the lyrics.

*ehem*
Nagito Komaeda.
(btw this song is 👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏, I just thought it fit Nagito XP)

When he gasps... I just can't <3

What is it about this band that makes you feel like they're making lyrics from your soul?

I have no idea lmao

We're all fucked up and Mother Mother gives us permission to embrace the despair instead of delusionally pretending like it doesn't exist, as we are all encouraged to do. That's my theory...

will you guys ever do a music video of Ghosting.that was the first song from you guys and it would be great to see it as a video, I was just wondering

I haven't really been that fond on most of Mother Mother's newer tracks, but I just love the tempo change and the overall feel in this one.

Don't get me wrong, Mother Mother are a fantastic band and they have a lot of songs that I find just incredible. But this new album, something about it just doesn't click with me

i thought the same at first but the songs have grown on me :,) except letter, that one i still cant come to terms with

+seasalties Yeah, I've been trying to listen to them in the hopes that's they'll grow on me, but it just doesn't seem to be happening. If anything, I prefer the studio versions of the songs haha

Interesting. I found that VGBT didn't resonate with me too much but this album is right on the money for me.

MrYesBubbles same with me at first but now I'm sitting here listening again and my jaw is on the floor. It 'clicked'. Give it another listen if you haven't lately. Like a lot of there stuff it grew on me, big time.

I'm right there with you. For me, this album just sounds Way over produced. I also agree with MrYesBubbles, the live versions are a million times better than the album versions.

this song saved my life

This album is looking like it's going to be amazing, can't wait!

*"Im a little kid with a big death wish"*

WOOO love it

This is just the way the Alligator's play...

big cummo

is this off their new album coming out on the 10th... hope so cuz if this is the type of music of theirs to be expected I'm pumped. there music keeps getting better and better

I thought so just wanted to make sure. hard to find their music around here.

True! This song is actually one the lead singer wrote a while ago.Check out: "Ep 1 of Vogville Presents Conversations with Brian Thompson and Guest Ryan Guldemond" and you'll see this song...first one he plays! 5 days until there new album is released :D

I know I'm right excited. if I can't find the album then the latest I have to wait is the 23rd when I go see them. at least I know for a fact I can buy it there :-)... totally checking that out

Amanda Richard you should be able to find it on their website for sale on the 10th and I'm also going to be seeing them on the 22nd of March i cant wait.

Davrostheatheist if I had to wait longer than 13 days I probably would get it off the website like I got their other albums but I can deal with waiting if the store that told me they would actually have it ends up not. I'm uber excited got the next 15 days to go by

@ Mother Mother You guys deserved to be kissed on the cheek

This is the only band I've found where I like every single song I've listened to. I mean, that just doesn't happen to me. Fall Out Boy, Mystery Skulls and P!ATD come close but there`s always those songs where I hit 'skip'. Not with these guys. Quality music all the way through. Funny enough, I've got my mother to thank for introducing them to me.

holy shit that's so weird. i say this EXACT same thing to everyone about mother mother. like i've never found a band EVER where i've liked every song they've made. nobody. this band is the ONLY ONE where every song is literally amazing.

I have to skip songs only after I listen to them 100x in a row...

Mother's Mother Mother.

SarcastiCat same lol there is no song I actually don’t like from them

Quicksilver Meat Dream is a GREAT album... might come close.

i am SO READY to throw my money at mother mother as soon as the album comes out GOD

Good stuff guys, keep er comin.

I am glad people enjoy it, just feels so gimmicky to me.

So cool, I think it'll become my new SongOfTheDay :^)

This is beautiful. I simply adore it. ♡♡♡

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SO FAR I THINK HOLY S-

Waking up with a youtube notification that Mother Mother has uploaded a new song, is the best feeling ever

Sjimme Conradi saw it at 5 am. had to resist blasting it. lol

mother mother is KILLING it with these new songs <3 counting down the days for their new album!!

R.I.P it.

That's a lot of days.

Hey! It's Alligators Play! Now I need some Mississippi on the album.

The devil he's at my door,
and I know what he came here for;
the kind of fun that I adore,
I let him enter to make some more.
Fire it burned my skin,
but I still want to play with it,
like a shark fin in the swim;
I cut myself and jump on in.
Ahhhhh...

Baby boy,
baby brother,
we're losing you to the gutter.

A women she at my door,
and too bad it's my best friends girl
she's a cookin' up a civil war,
I'm dumb enough to storm the shores yeah,
there's a red light up ahead,
I drive my car in to it,
I'm a little kid with a big death wish,
I bite the lips - the lips that kiss.
Ahhhhh...

Baby boy,
baby brother,
we're losing you to the gutter.
Baby boy,
baby brother,
we're losing you is it forever?
Baby boy,
baby brother,
we're losing you to the gutter.
Baby boy,
baby brother,
we're losing you is it forever?

The devil he's at my door,
and I know what he came here for;
the kind of fun that I adore,
I let him enter to make some more.

thank you

You're welcome!

Corbin Sienna the fourth repetition of the chorus in the 2nd chorus is 'We're losing you, for forever.', rather than 'is it forever?'.

@Username Pending actually, they're right. It's "is it forever?"

Every time Mother Mother releases a new song I drop everything and listen to it nonstop for days...they're so creative with everything & their style never gets old.

Arreptitious ikr

I love this so much.

this is so different just like every time but gosh!! of course it's amazing!! I love everyone behind mother mother being able to bring us music like this

OMG
Is it okay to relate to their music so much?
Wonderful
Such an underrated band

wow wow wow holy shit

I'm gonna cry, I love this band so much. Eight more days, guys!

Love it to pieces

"i'm a little kid with a big death wish"
how did they sum up me as a person in such a short line

Wow. Wow. Wow. Very different from other songs in No Culture that have been released...

god i think this is my favorite no culture song so far.
I just did a presentation on Mother Mother for my music class, for a "favorite artist project".

Wow right on my nephews birthday. Also, I've been sick all week and this helps me a bit.

So happy! Got tickets for their next concert!

it's so good :'3 goosebumps !

Mother Mother you guys rock!! I feel so blessed at the opportunity to experience your music. It resonates with me in such a powerful way and brightens my life. Thanks for doing what you do and doing it so well!

Cheryl Macelli they're just amazing!! Love soooo much, its a big pleasure to hear their songs 💙

commmmoonnn few more days <3

❤❤❤❤❤
