Lyrics
~~~~~~~
Mamma told me
Only lonely people gonna hold me
Only those who can't help themselves, yeah
Only those who will need my shelter
Mamma tells me
I believe, i believe in mamma trying
I believe in father lying
I believe in lovers crying
I believe in education, nurture and good education
Mamma gave me music lessons
Now I play the saddest songs
Is that really what mamma wanted?
For her baby to be so haunted?
Is that really what she intended?
Mamma said this, "Hold me closer even though I'm a mamma"
She told me, "You're just lonely. Help me help ya even though I know you're just helpless"
Mamma said this
I believe, I believe in conversation
In good communicatin'
And I believe in laughter, writing
But now all i write are melodies, melodies
Simple, sweet, that simply haunt me
Little rhythms that scold and hold me
Only cause I know they are lonely
Mamma told me
Mamma help me, I'm helpless, I'm helpless
I'm tempted, I'm tempted
Can't you see it's only loneliness?
And it's helpless, oh it's helpless
I took what mamma said and kept it forefront in my head
But now that mamma's dead
I love how you are lonely
Help me help you hold me
I take what mamma told me
And I read what mamma wrote me
And I read it to you slowly
And you told me she was lonely
Oh, my mamma, she was lonely
And it's all she really told me
Mamma told me
That lonely people gonna hold me
Only those who can't help themselves, yeah
Only those who will need my shelter
Mamma tells me
(I believe in mammas trying)
(I believe in fathers lying)
(I believe in lovers crying)
(I believe in education)
(I believe in music lessons)
(I believe in conversation)
(I believe in letter-writing)
(I believe in mammas trying)
(I believe in fathers lying)
(I believe in lovers crying)
(I believe in education)...

My mommy and daddy issues are loving this song
yes thats me, hi
Ugh same
who summoned me lmao
@@raymondcobir9730 no one did go away
@@gummywormm*pokes with stick* STAY BACK🤺
This is my favorite song from this band,, I just can relate to it a whole lot
Same
yea, but for me it’s mother lying and father trying
@evie0oo61good for you I guess
Same
my parental issues are thriving with this song
same
same
yep, same here
Checking up here, how them parental issues going?
the fact that this isnt on spotify is a crime im telling you
Indeed. It’s a hanus crime
(Another owl house fan I see)
@@movedchannels1543 ofc
Hi other owl house fans also it is a crime let's start a petition
FOR FUCKINGGGGG REAL
greetings fellow owl house fans
And yes, someone needs to make one of those “music that isn’t on Spotify” podcasts for this
This song is my biggest inspiration to become an artist. It's a fantastic example of taking a lesson one has learned through pain over many years and summarizing it so others can learn it far easier. It helped put my own parents into perspective and taught me that feeling 2 opposing emotions was valid. 1. That my mom fucked me up and 2. That my mom truly didn't intend to, but was going through a lot(as all humans do on this bitch of an earth). Though listening to this piece doesn't solve anything, it still helps. Hopefully one day someone will say the same about things I've created.
Ayyyy, a kindred soul. My mother severely neglected me, going unnoticed for years until I refused to go back to her house, when people finally realized maybe something was wrong. On one hand, I Don't Like Her and don't want her to be a part of my life anymore, but on the other, I know she wasn’t malicious, she never meant harm. To me, at least. She just had several mental issues that were never properly dealt with, which reflected onto me and my sibling. My stepmother keeps calling her cruel and such things, saying that she didn't try hard enough to get proper treatment, and maybe she could've done things differently, but she didn't mean harm towards me. But it ain't something I can explain to them, it's the type of thing you gotta live through to truly understand that suffering, and be able to accept both that suffering and still hold them accountable. Though one piece of advice, even though you're probably already moved on and forgotten about this comment, remember, forgiveness isn't a right, it's a privalege. Stay strong out there, friend.
this is the vibe of like... the therapist friend, whos only turned to when people need something from them, and who has to act like a parent to everyone around them, even though they themself are lonely
literally me.
I almos cried now
Literally me
this is a bop why isn't this more popular
Right
*Danganronpa has entered the chat*
Ikr? I need it on Spotify!
I have no idea
cos it’s unreleased i’m pretty sure?
one of their earliest songs
this boutta make me cry even tho i didnt understand anything
Same 😭
mother mother made me realize I have parents issues because when I was a kid I thought they did it because they love me
My mom died in june. I just found this christmas eve. UA-cam suggested it
I've been obsessed. Rare to find a band with thos many good songs. Thank you.
Rest In Peace To Your Mother. I hope you’re okay now. 💖💕♥️
this song hurts cause my mom has always told me my dad is a liar and all these other things about him and she put a restraining order on him, and whenever I see him I can't help but feeling like I can't trust him or feeling uncomfortable even though I know he's not like most of the things she said and I feel bad for it
Parents can brainwash better than anyone else because you trust them. Even if we don't feel like we trust them our subconscious listens blindly
One Piece pfp let’s goo! On episode 256 atm, good arc. Can’t wait to catch up
both my mom and dad do this, so instead of me trusting one instead of the other, i just dont trust either of them. I cant tell when one of them is even lying anymore
I get this so much. My biological mother did this a lot when I was younger and practically manipulated me. She was abusive and would always treat me badly. So practically I didn’t live the best life at the start.
Minus the restraining order, same here.
My mom took me and my Sister from him, and poisoned our brains with terrible things about him, but I live eith him now, and he make no matters better, cause he tries hos best, but doesn't understand anythong unless you tell him everything *why* and yells alot, so everytime he raises his hand I think he'll hit me, even though he's *never* hit me-
Sorry-
I'm sorry you had to go through that, I underatand as much as humanly possible, and hope things got better, as it's been a year, if not I hope they *get* better.. >
WHY THIS ISN'T ON SPOTIFY WTF
it's a lost song from their first album mother, the whole album is unreleased so you won't find it in any of their official streaming sites
It’s so sadddd
IKR!? GRRRR!!!
It’s going to be officially released soon. Don’t worry
@@ageguyeraomg really
Raise your hand if your parents raised you isolated and you thought their ways were the best ones until you realized that they weren't
*Raises several hands.*
*raises hand*
YEAH

My mom's over a year clean of heroine. A year ago on June 7th my mom lapsed for the second time that month and me and my brother were taken by CPS, since then my mom got a house, a car, and earned unsupervised visits, and I'll be living with her before next year.
Your mother is an incredibly strong woman, and you and your brother are incredibly strong people
The pain will never truly fade, but people as strong as you will learn to take it in stride and live happy and wonderful lives with it at your side.
All the love and luck to you, remember to always see the bright side of things :))
I’m glad you’ll be living with her again soon (I’m hoping living her is considered a good thing for you)
my mother used me as a therapist more than a daughter. i had to deal with her putting her baggage and problems with her health, her mother, and my father onto me. I never lived a childhood.
Same. I've been through that ever since I was six. I've never had a childhood. It's Like I had to be a adult at a young age. And when I wanted her to hear how I felt with stuff she just ignored me and said that it didn't matter. And tbh no one deserves to get through those things. A child should feel alone in this world. Music is the only thing that's helping me
This band doesnt have a single bad song.
the stand in eureka is bad ..
@@butteredwaffle8017 nuh uh!
@@butteredwaffle8017 That’s one of my favorite songs :(
@@butteredwaffle8017 NO ????
@♡evie0oO♡ THAT'S SUCH A GOOD SONG WHAT
I turn 17 in three months. My mom has rarely been a part of my life, but when she was, it was never good. Today, I finally cut it off. I told her, "You're a tar that brings every good and innocent thing down with you."
And I'm done. The pain, the suffering, I can finally let go.
I'm proud of you🖤🖤
fuck yeah brother/sis/sibling!!!!!!!
I'm very very proud of you, I hope things get better ♥️
Not sure if it's your birthday now, but happy birthday, bud! I hope you're in a better spot now
IM SO PROUD OF YOU !!!!!! im so glad you're finally let free : ] ,, im so proud you've had the guts to do so ,, im very late but happy late birthday ! i hope you enjoyed your birthday : D .
God this song is so relatable it makes me feel physically ill, I’ve never felt so seen somehow
For 20 years of my life I was stuck with my emotionally and physically abusive mother, for at least a decade I believed she was everything, she was my mom and I saw her as a saint.. she told me my dad was lazy, that he left her, all sorts of generally untrue things in hopes of me favoring her. As I grew up I realized the way she treated me, the way she spoke to me, the horrible things she said to me and about me.. were not normal. Even as I realized this I couldn’t bare to think ill of her for a long time, i grappled with (and still kinda do) feeling guilty for being bitter towards her, even after years upon years of physical and mental abuse that have left me insanely damaged I felt guilt for my hatred towards her.. while simultaneously hating myself for feeling guilty. She still would say and still says she loves me, she buys me things and says she would do anything for me and constantly is making me struggle with my feelings towards her. I know what she does is to cover up the wrong she does but I still struggle.. I spent so long being brainwashed and gaslit into loving her and thinking of her as my saint, my protector, everything, even now as a 21 year old I struggle to cut her out of my life completely. It even was so bad I adopted her ideas of the world, my opinions were not my own but hers, I accepted her abuse and told myself I deserved it. I moved out less than a year ago and even across the country I am grappling with my guilt, my self-loathing, confusion, and all the negative traits she imprinted on me. I sought out toxic attention at a young age due to the neglect at home, I did stuff behind her back to escape her control and overall I just had a not fantastic childhood-young adulthood
Anyways fuck CPS for doing nothing but make things worse the multiple times they were called to help me and fuck the police for not keeping her in jail
If anyone read this all, hello and thank you 💞 I never talk about this with anyone in depth, not even my therapist
Also I know this may not be what the song is necessarily about and that’s alright, I still feel very seen. Mother mother touches on parental figures a lot… which I find very relatable with my broken ass family
Thank you for sharing this! I have/had a very similar relationship with my mom and I also feel seen by this song. I've kinda been feeling alienated recently because of how different my childhood was from most people's, it's validating to know I'm not the only one. Especially because my mom tries/tried to gaslight me into thinking I was misremembering, making things up, it was normal or that it was somehow better than normal childhoods and I should be thanking her. That being said, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that and I wish you hadn't had to. I hope things are better for you now. Also, your pfp is cool.
It's so awful to be in this situation because they hurt you and then say they love you. I'm in a pretty similar situation, but I'm 26, still living with her, in hell. Gaslighting and abuse are my daily issues. I feel like this song cries with us in a beautiful way
This sond is a huge ✨v i b e✨ even though people kept giving me weird looks while listening to this XD
this song is so sad.. yet sounds so gentle and relaxing
they say mother is god in the eyes of a child, to a point it was for me, i thought of her as a saint until i found out the truth of her
human same, i was isolated for most of my early childhood and my parents are still gods in my mind.
Same
@@Lavey_Lee same I was isolated in the young age too
Bro same. My mother abandoned me and never was in my life. She caused a whole lot of shit to happen in my life.
@@torribennett619 it's hard to deal with it, more when they want to come back to your life expecting forgiveness
I am a huge mother / earthbound fan and this gives me the vibes of a grown up version of "pollyanna ( i believe in you)" so sad yet so mesmerizing ... Its like feeling how much you grow as a person thru songs you love and feel like are connected to each other
Same this song reminds me of Mother 3 expecially in 2:05-2:32
@evie0oo61me too! It's good to find earth bound fans to because I thought for along time I was one of the only people who new what earth bound at least only kid that played the game cus I love that game I played the hell out of it and I eventually beat it
Yesss I've been waiting for lyrics for so long. Tysm ❤️.
This song really hits the spot
This hits different with divorced parents who both paint each other as the monster 😃
Me with my parents who are still together but are practically divorced mentally (they hate each other but can’t get divorced because of money issues)
How's the mommy issues going buddy
terrible lmao
could be better thats all i have to say
uhhhhhhhhhhh they're going uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not nice
Change the mommy with daddy 🤸♀️
I- um- ...GoOd :)
This is a whole mood honestly, as a kid my mom praised me on my figure but as I got older and scars covered my body and face and I gained a bit of weight she stopped giving me any praise on my looks
What a perfect song to describe my mommy and daddy issues
A veces pensamos que nuestros padres son perfectos, como dioses, pero luego creces y te das cuenta de todos sus defectos y que también son personas que se equivocan
as a person who constantly tries to live up to others non-existent expectations, i decare this my spirit song
mood
as an orphan this song goes so hard
IM GOING TO HELL FPR LAUGHING OH GOD IM SO SORRY 😭😭😭😭😭
This song makes me feel like I'm dreaming while awake
Anyone else start listening to this with a character in mind but realize half way through it applies to you really well
@@musicplaylists6718 way too relatable dude, youre not alone
Mother mother usually keeps their lyrics vauge so any meaning can be taken from it, but I cant be the only one who hears the undertones of someone recounting how in their childhood their parents were either separated or in a loveless marriage, and the mother m*lested the narrator. And the song is about how the mother tried to convince the narrator that everything that was happening was okay.
Jeez, that's it! I was struggling with that weird feeling that there was something weird in Text, slightly gross and hurting undertone. Omg, everyone comes with comments about their Mommy issues and you got to the Point.
This Lowkey makes me think of your lie in April
STOP-
Oh no
what? ;-;
oh my gosh, yes ;-;
This song shot me right in the mommy issues damn.
I dont have mommy or dad issues, I just like the way the song sounds
Mother Mother - Mamma Told Me
Mamma told me only people gonna hold me
Only those who can’t help themselves, yeah
Only those who will need my shelter
Mamma tells me
I believe, I believe in mamma trying
Believe in father lying
I believe in lovers crying
I believe in education, nurture, and good education
Mamma gave me music lessons
Now I play the saddest songs
Is that really what mamma wanted?
For her baby to be so haunted?
Is that really what she intended?
Mamma said this, "hold me closer even though I’m a mamma"
She told me, "you’re just lonely. Help me help ya even though I know you’re just helpless"
Mamma said this
I believe, I believe in conversation
In good communicatin'
I believe in letter-writing
But now all I write are melodies (melodies)
Simple, sweet, that simply haunt me
Little rhythms that scold and hold me
Only 'cause I know they are lonely
Mamma told me
MAMMA HELP ME, I’M HELPLESS, I’M HELPLESS
I’M TEMPTED, I’M TEMPTED
CAN’T YOU SEE IT’S ONLY LONELINESS?
AND IT’S HELPLESS, OH IT’S HELPLESS
I took what mamma said and kept it forefront in my head
But now that mamma’s dead
I love how you are lonely
Help me help you hold me
I take what mamma told me
And I read what mamma wrote me
And I read it to you slowly
And ya told me she was lonely
Oh, my mamma, she was lonely
And it’s all she ever really told me
Mamma told me
That only lonely people gonna hold me
Only those who can’t help themselves, yeah
Only those who will need my shelter
Mamma tells me…

“dance in mommy issues”
How does one know they have mommy issues?
Genuine question not trying to be mean or anything.
@@leonibush9946 i really don’t know how to answer this, but for me was when people say they have mommy issues and talk abt it i related to them and thought abt my relationship w my mom,she’s very controlling and manipulative and love to compare me to others and a lot of ppl when i talk abt it just say” ah mommy issues “
i hope this helps u
I have never heard this song and I thought I was a Mother Mother savant! :D :D Thank you !! The very beginnings :D
This is my all time favorite song thank you so so much for making this its such an inspiring so like this is the sole reason I'd become a singer to create things like and I can't believe its not even on Spotify ugggghh
Plz make this come to the surface. Wow this is beautiful !
Sigh I feel so sad when I listen to this song, I think this is the first song I've related to so much
My mom died 11 years ago when I was 1 year old, and I watched her die. The officers never investigated it, they just labeled it as ''suicide'' because she got shot, but somebody else shot her. If only if she didn't go to that person's house that day she could still be alive today. I miss her so much still. I'm 12, and I'm adopted by her mother, but the pain never will change. And the father lying part fits because my dad was a piece of crap.
god i fucking love this song.
It’s a shame you can’t find this song in a lot of places anymore.
This and "Mama" by mcr feel like opposites on the same scale
bruh he literally put his whole life into a song
is this a vent song mother mother are you alright
well I mean.... 👨🦯👨🦯👨🦯
this comment is so wholesome, I luv you.
you made my day 100x better
@@v4mpyy. ly too! you also made my day better with that reply
All of their songs are vents/lh
The lyric at 0:48 is so relatable...she tells me all her problems and ignores mine :./
*whenever i hear this song i think of reiner's childhood and start crying...*
bruh why would u do this
Wow- thanks
No idea who that is haha, but this honestly just makes me think of Ben Marshall. (Driving Lessons, 2006)

Guys!! They just released this on their EP album!! ❤
GOING CRAZY THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME LISTENING TO MOTHER MOTHER AND IS ON MY RECOMMENDED AGAIN????AFTER 4 YEARS???
a year late yea yea i know, but like this needs to be on spotify fr it's such a vibe 🤠
Me as person is Mother issues, I can heavily relate to this, my mom was never the nicest person to me but I really can relate to this, this can also show how we always stay blind from the people that abused us as they closed ones to us, example literally parents, I really like this damn song
New fav song! Fr the fact that this isn’t on Spotify ;-;
someone PLEASE upload this as a podcast to spotify 😩
To my playlist you go
When I was abt 3-4 my mom and dad had a fight and my dad ended up in jail for about a week and my mother left my siblings and I. I live with my grandparents now and my each of my siblings have a different dad and the same mom. My sisters dad I don’t know much about, my brothers dad is a horrible guy, doing drugs and abusing my mom, sister, and brother. My dad was always there for me so I’m very grateful to him. Mother hasn’t been to any of my birthdays since then and I haven’t seen her in about 3 years. She’s hooked up with an offender who is about the age of my grandpa (67) while my mother is around 40. I’m too scared to tell her how I feel because she’ll just go out of my life completely like she did with my sister. I don’t forgive her, not yet, and I probably never will.
most underrated song
It’s insane I can’t get this song anywhere else except for UA-cam, cause this song is a banger
I have no familiarity with the members of Mother Mother, but it's got energy of a singer with a haunted recording studio containing the ghost of another phenomenal singer
Bruh 0:38 - 1:02 hits too hard
Ikr
anyone else have a completely fine relationship with their parents and is just a warrior cats fan
no mommy issues no daddy issues but letting me touch crookedstar’s promise was a terrible terrible mistake
A little bit of both lmao
This hits close to home .. my mother brainwashed me at a young age to believe my father had and was doing the unthinkable to me.(CSA) (Amongst other things) Lots and lots of sessions of this for months before she decided to record the last session. It didnt work at the time but a couple years later I was CSA'd by a friend of my father and she used that to convince me i had told her my father had done these things and futhered the brainwashing by getting a false restraining order against my father and isolated me from him and fed me all the lies, i ended up with false memories of abuse but realized recently that he wasnt in any of them. From the time i was in 5th grade til a year ago i lived in psychosis believing her lies. Once i turned 18 i went NC for 9 years. I finally contacted him last year, he sent me the video i mentioned, and it brought back all the memories of brainwashing. Even my therapist confirmed i was brainwashed between my story and said video. Ive now cut her off for not only this but an insane amount of other things, and have been reconnecting with my father. The time i lost kills me and so does the distance but im just so glad i snapped out of it and no longer have to carry the trauma of my father doing these things.
I was also ALWAYS her emotional regulator (since age 5), dumping all her issues on me and crying about how lonely she is and always has been, she demoralized me on a constant basis alongside this.
why isn’t this on spotify it’s legit so good
Anyone else coming back to this one after the official release deleted that one verse?
when you think your mother is cheating on your father but you love her and him and you don't want things to change so you don't say anything:
that's actually the first time i've ever said anything about this-
oh so THATS why they’re called mother mother... they all have MOMMY ISSUES
I love songs by mother mother and I love love love this song too
I have an *ever so slighty* abusive mother and this may or may not be my comfort song- is that good..? Probably not.
THEY DELETED THE BEST VERSE 1:47 IN THE VERSION THEY POSTED!
man i was so disappointed when it didnt play when listening to it on spotify.
@@ratswithbutterhats I was too, but they posted on their ig that it was an error and they will repair it, the same with home recording
okay, they repaired it
the fact that i love it for more comfiting and that it help me alot
I don't really relate to this song for the most part but it still somehow feels so comforting , especially 2:09
Not sure about anyone else but I'm getting Driving Lessons vibes lol. That movie's honestly really obscure but it's so good, and it makes me so upset that almost no one knows about it- If anybody knows what I'm talking about I'd love to chat about it, it's really underrated. Again, this song honestly fits Ben super well, and I might make a PMV on it lol.
I wish i could just turn my pain and feelings into songs
Thats the only reason why i think its better to have two parents. It makes easier for child to understand how many different outlooks there are on life and that none needs to be accurate
Honestly I don't think two is enough. When just two people basically control your entire life, just two people to protect you, it makes parental abuse really easy
I don't have mommy and daddy issues, or any problems with me but damn, this song is a bop
Why is this reminding me of the promised neverland
Wait- 😳
YO WTFFF SO TRUE SKSVSKSSB
same
YO.... dark
This hits harder when you become "the lonley people"
“I believe in mama trying, I believe in father lying… I believe in lovers crying… “dang- thats rough…
Why did mother scrap this song? It was really good it’s quite a shame
oh its more 15+ years ago, maybe the world wasn't ready for it yet
Pov: you have strict parents
Pov you have very strict parents that won't even let you talk to your friends.
The first Mother Mother song I heard was Hayloft, but this is the song that made me fall in love with Mother Mother ❤
God damn this hit so deep
Why this isnt in Spotify :c
it is a song from their first album called "mother", the whole album is unreleased as it was replaced by Touch Up, so you won't find it in any of their official streaming sites
@@sateliteschinos d'you know any other songs from this album ?
@@windcrystal1349 Love to death is also an unreleased song from mother, they have more unreleased songs but i’m not sure if they belonged to that album
oof ouch right in the childhood full of emotional neglect
i love my mom. but she was not prepared for a kid, especially not an autistic one. she did her best, but shit hurts sometimes looking back
R.i.p mamma 🥰🌟
Your comment trips me up
_your comment taste like sugar and garlicpowder_
Mommy issues + daddy issues = Mamma told me
ik it is unreleased, but somehow I remember it like it was on the radio.. ik chasing it down and other songs were on the radio in europe, but idk how I got to know Had It All
One of their best
greetings, that-one-therapist-friend-in-a-friend-group :)
Crookedstar vibes
Lol, there's a map for that if you're interested. You can type in "crooked Star mama told me map" it's actually really well done. 😊
Hi Warrior cats fan
"Mamma help me I am helpless" I WANT TO GIVE HIM A HUG 😭😭😭
This song makes me think of night in the woods mainly Angus though. But this song and that game have in common is that they make me cry
Y does this sound like a french song, i dont Understand
ɴᴀᴛʜᴀʟʏ They are a Canadian band, may have picked up some inspiration somewhere.
This might just be me, but this song reminds me so much of Sangwoo from Killing Stalking 😂
I'm debating if my mother was really that bad to me or if she was trying to help, and I just didn't allow her.
Then again her toxic behavior wasn't really help, it was more harm. But my father kept telling me "She tried so hard to help you."
And now I can't tell if I was the bad person.
Trust your heart. Gaslighting can make you question your reality, but you know how it made you hurt. Even trying to help someone is not an excuse for hurting someone. A person can try their best and still cause hurt. That doesn't mean that your hurt doesn't count or that YOU are a bad person. Besides, you were a child. How could you be held accountable for what your mother did/said when you were a child? At that age, you can't process things in the same way and 100% rely on your caregivers to protect you. Unfortunately, not all people are prepared to be caregivers and even the best parents make mistakes and pass hurt onto their child.
You're not bad, you're just human.
I relate to this too much
I'm sad we can't find this song anymore :(
