Anne-Marie,

What a wonderful thing to be able to do this, yes? To take inspiration from another's song and create something that is truly, and deeply, yours. Thank you for sharing this, on this particular occasion.

On YouTube, I saw "Rammstein" and thought, no, it can't be THAT Rammstein, which I only think of as the German band where the deep-voiced guy sets himself on fire. But it is! "Mutter" – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNdnVVHfseA

I'm sure you know John Lennon's "Mother", which cuts it to the bone:

Mother
You had me
But I never had you

I have my own resonances here. I also had two fathers, but in both cases my story was like John's song continues, so, no love songs for them.

Thanks for your thoughts on my piece. I do plan on making a second, sweeter part, from the same original composition, and that will complete this project.

Mark
