You’re not listening. The song is not about a living mother listing to her son and giving him advice. She is overbearing and overprotective. She will have her thumb on him for ever.
@@ShawnandMel4Life It's way more evident what Floyd was trying to get across if you watch the movie this album accompanies. I wouldn't expect someone to know exactly what the song was about after only one listen. There are only a few lines in this song that give you the sense the mother is overbearing. It gets more evident as the album\movie progresses. She lost her husband in the war and that makes her want to over-protect their child. in the end the kid turns out really messed up.. If you like Floyd, it's definitely worth watching the movie The Wall...
Many reactors misunderstand the meaning. Very easy to do during a first listen. Watching the movie will give a listener more insight into some of their songs but whether you get all of their inferences or not, there's no denying the greatness of their music and talent. They are on a completely different level, as far as I'm concerned, in the music industry.
This is about an overbearing mother who puts all her insecurities on to her son and metaphorically "Builds a Wall" to keep everyone & everything away. You honestly should do the whole album to really understand it.
I don't think anyone under 40 listens to the lyrics anymore it's just about the beat or music. Even at 19 when this album came out while the music was the big thing for me i still paid attention to the lyrics and while i didn't understand all lyrics at that age i still had an idea what the songs were about.
There is nothing warm about this mother. Fearful, over protective, controlling. Roger Waters (the first singer, really dark hair) grew up without his father. He was killed in WWII so his mother projected all her fears and pain of loss onto her son. This song is from the ground breaking album "The Wall". It was also turned into a Movie... the sound track became the album. Many consider it the greatest album of all time. "The Wall" is a very English Album. Many of the themes deal with the aftermath of World War Two, and how so many English children were effected 20+ years later as they entered early adulthood. "Nobody's Home" is one of the songs on the album, dealing with the fact that many Fathers didn't come home from the war... how kids who had grown up, never getting a chance to speak with their Fathers.... "I try to get through the telephone to you, but I know, there's nobody home". The whole album hurts the soul. But it's a purging kind of pain. "The Wall" is a deep, deep dive into the scarred emotions of many English Baby Boomers. Many turned to fame, or drugs, or sex, to try and fill the emptiness and loss they felt. Ultimately its about building a wall around yourself, isolating yourself from the rest of the world, hiding the pain. I'm a child of the 80's from a small town in nowhere America. I was in grade school with this album came out, a bit above my head, but even as a 5th grader, I knew this was important. I had heard a lot of the songs countless times on the radio, but it took me until I was in High School and finally watched the movie "The Wall" before it finally sank in for me. In my opinion, both of you need to watch this Movie "The Wall" sometime this year.
You said everything I was going to say. I lost count of how many times I've watched the movie. It's a must watch to truly get to the depth of this song.
The album The Wall is based off an idea in psychology. The idea is that people build a Wall (metaphorically speaking) around themselves to keep other people out emotionally. In the album his experiences with his father, mother, teacher, and ex-wife, have all become bricks in his wall. The end of the album is the trial, in which he judges himself and realizes he cannot continue to live his life the way he is, and the only way to restore himself to sanity is to tear down the wall. At the very end of the album you hear the words "isn't this where", then when you flip the album back to the first side, the first words spoken are "we came in". Which is symbolically saying that once we destroy our walls, we just start building new ones.
It's crazy how many people I know who have listened to this song and somehow thought it was a happy song about a loving family. There's a lot of lines in here that point to the opposite but the ones that stick out the most are- Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you. She won't let you fly but she might let you sing. Mom is going to check out all your girlfriends for you. Mom is going to wait up until you get in, mama will always find out where you've been. How anyone could hear those lines and associate them with being a good thing it's hard to imagine.
Agreed....they need to watch the film...after listening to the entire album in sequence! The vast majority of this was definitely Roger Waters' baby....and the following album, "The Final Cut", even more so.....with a continuation of the vibe, theme and mood....very much pushing the rest of the band to break with Roger.
"Mother's gonna make all of your nightmares come true" They aren't even subtle about it. I think that a lot of people just hear the tone of the music and mentally edit and interpret the lyrics is a soft/protective way. That is one of the genius parts of this song.
You need to listen to it again. Mothers, both good and evil, she’s also overbearing. “Mother’s gonna make all your nightmares come true”. Mommy dearest.
I think it's amazing that you guys felt warm and comfortered by the song when in actuality it's a song about a mother who smothers her son and makes him neurotic. That's the genius of Pink Floyd.
Yeah, y'all totally missed the missed the message of this song. You need to look at the lyrics. Although this song is a masterpiece, mother is deranged. It's got a nice vibe but the story is not what y'all are reading into it.
When this album came out it went platinum in one week. Time magazine did a story on it. Dan Rather did a story on it. It was banned in several countries in Africa. This album shook this planet to it's very foundation. I was there, I lived it
This is one of the most heart wrenching songs ever written in music history. It's about a son who isn't being given what he needs to stand on his own two feet. He's being set up to fail by an over protective mother. It's extremely painful to listen to when you were in that spot as a child.
The song lures you in to thinking it’s a beautiful lullaby, paying tribute to mothers. But it’s actually the opposite. It’s about how many mothers, and parents, teach us our fears and distrust of others. The caricature image in the song, is clearly a cynical and sarcastic battle axe of a Mother. Many children are brought up in a very oppressed childhood. The parent(s) build a protective wall around them so high, that they cannot function as a mature adult in the real world.
This song resonates so much with me. My mother was a cold, cruel, abusive, narcissist. In public it was such a B.S show of love and support and alone with her I was petrified of what comes next. My mother should have never been allowed to have children, or their should have been someone to save us from the years of torment...So this song means a lot to me and if you hear the context of which he is singing you will hear the real meaning of "Mother did it need to be so high?"
Pink Floyd can definitely put some “muscle” into their songs in terms of powerful instrumentation, but the softer and slower mostly acoustical sound in Mother is the perfect accompaniment to the strong message of the song.
This song resulted from a mother whose husband was killed in WWII and making sure that her son grew up protected...overprotected. Wars are not just tragedies on the battlefield, but ripple through families, relatives, and friends, like a never-ending storm at sea.
This is such a powerful song. You should listen to all of their magnificent music . it's literally life changing. Great reaction and I'm so pleased to see the younger generation hitting it up with Floyd. ❤👍💯🇨🇦
the final phrase sums the song up perfectly; "mother did it need to be so high", refers to an over bearing, over protective mother helping to build that emotional wall around her son. The song is not as sweet as you think it is because in the context of the whole album The Wall, it is a journey of a boy's life into adulthood and all his insecurities and mental battles. The song Mother, is a key part in his mindset going forward and mother was a huge part in his seclusion to the world and himself after losing his father in the war early in life only to be brought up by a fear mongering over protective mother, hence The Wall was too high.
Not only Waters experience, but an all-too-common malaise where grief-stricken mothers after the Two world wars of the last century, finding themselves without a husband, who themselves, with little support for their own mental instability, became obsessively protective of their sons, sexually repressing them, filling them with insecurity and fear, leading many to self-destructive lives in adulthood.
When I was a child, I found this to be a very beautiful song. Now, it makes me *ugly cry* because I actually understand the nuance of the message. Thank you for doing this one!
This is one man's life that became an Ouroboros. He loved his Mom and she messed him up so bad that he was completely dysfunctional in a relationship. Then his life would spiral down and the only person he could take comfort from was his Mom, who messed him up some more....now he felt totally isolated and the only way to keep from going mad was to build the wall with her help....which messed him up completely.
Props for doing a live version from The Wall tour. Most reactors just do live stuff from the pulse tour in the 80's and Roger Waters had already left the band by that time. It's nice to see the original lineup on stage together. You'll never see it again...
the pulse tour was '90s I saw it 94 Texas stadium the division bell was the album came out late 93 that's a tour was based upon that and dark side of the Moon they did the whole album live
A true reaction to a song that will no doubt always inspire so many individual reactions...because we all have such different experiences....with "Mother"
Pink Floyd is amazing at taking you on a trip of sound and emotions and making you think. Most times you don't know what you're thinking about, so sit back and enjoy the trip.
Not in my life my mother left me and my brother in a state we didn't know I was 12 he was 15 we had each other. Then he became a Marine now he's dead and I miss him so much. I was a pretty decent mom my kids call me all the time and we adopted our youngest she's 25 one daughter 52 and my son 49 I'm 65 don't do the math 😆 🤣 😂
great reaction. I do find it interesting though, I've watched a few reactions of this song. And reactors seem to connect of course to the motherly love part. But somehow miss the "put her fears into you" part which is a huge part of where this song fits into the album. A weird co-dependency between mother and child.
People don't really listen to music anymore. Especially reactors on YT who listen once for the views and move on. Mother is a great litmustest in that on the surface is seems such a lovely tribute to mom. It isn't though if you pay attention.
In reality this is an incredibly dark song. I'm not sure there's actually any "motherly love" in it. But the codependency is there. She messed him up so bad he wrote one of the greatest songs ever written about her. I actually feel kind of bad for her now that I think about it.
Love you guys. And you are so right. Pink floyd is a feeling. You guys have great taste. For younger generation you guys are starting to see what pink floyd does to you. Little wine. A blunt and the dark. Put on the wall. Nothing like it. God bless you guys and keep rocking
All I can say " Pink Floyd is iconic " in the rock community! At 63 yrs old I will never get tired of this band. Rock bands from that Era may have aged or passed on, but rock will never die!
Amen bro. We all love Pink Floyd. Love seeing the young ones loving our music we grew up with. 1 night when alone kids are with grandparents. Turn lights out. Glass of wine and a blunt. Light that shit and put on side 1 of Pink Floyd the Wall. You will sink more into those seats and feel Pink Floyd.
It makes you feel good? "Mamas gonna make all of your nightmares come true." His mother is pouring all her fears, her insecurities, her issues onto her son and slowly pushing him away from the real world.
I remember the wall album coming out. It has been a long time since the previous "Animals" album which was very dark. I kinda thought they were over. Then "The Wall". What a piece of work, just mind blowing. I noticed you guys have done a couple of ABBA's happy songs. Be nice if you would do some from after the couples started having problems. The music got more adult and was some of their best work. "The Winner Takes It All" would be a good one to show their other side.
How can you get comfort out of this. Did you listen to the lyrics? Mothers going to make all of your nightmares come true. Mothers gonna put all of her fears into you. She won’t let you fly but she MIGHT let you sing. Mother will always find out where you’ve been. This mother is a scary monster.
I've been listening to pink Floyd since I was 16 I am 63 now I've seen them 4 times there is nothing like it in the world glad you guys are enjoying them they have a lot of great songs enjoy them all u will be a fan for life
The wall changed my hole outlook on life probably 96 jr in high school. Me a few friends just drinking and tripping out for our first time. We watched the wall some of us couldn’t handle what we saw heard. God bless my old high school buddy Ryan pooler that has passed but i still remember listening to the birds that morning sun up just ryne and i. No not the band but actually birds it was something ill always share with Ryan. We both new what was going on even if everyone else thought we were crazy lol!! Pink floyed so awesome Thanks for sharing Stay u keeping it real
Pretty much every reactor I've seen so far: "This is so beautiful. So comforting. So sentimental about how a mother takes care of her child etc." The actual song: "Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true. Mama's gonna put all her fears into you."
Mother is building the wall, helping him find his fears and put in another brick, wall himself off from the world and stay in her tower, under her control, fearing everything else.
If you really like pink Floyd check out music from when they 1st started to now. The progression in technology and their skills progressed together like peanut butter and jelly.
So rare in reaction videos for both people the know what it means to FEEL music. Usually it's one or neither. Music is meant to feel and create emotion and Pink Floyd are the best at it!! Love this reaction!!!
The greatest group of all time. Pink Floyd will take you on a trip and pull on all your emotions during your experience. Put on you headphones and a Pink Floyd album and kick back and close you eyes and take the roller coaster ride.
I luv this song...it reminds me of my mom...I actually told her thank you for being like this before she passed away....ty..it's ok to be protective over your children ..
It's a song about an over-protective mother who stunts her child's emotional growth. That's why he asks at the end if the wall had to be quite so high.
The overbearing mother overprotected the kid and was eventually devistated by the truths of reality surrounding his life The kid went nuts in the end. Last line in the song, " did it need to be so high", (the wall).
You just heard one chapter out of sequence to the best Rock opera ever written, The Wall beginning to end is the story of a rock star "Pink" Father died when he was young, very strict school, controlling mother, etc, each one, another brick in his wall of isolation
She tied him so tightly to her apron strings, that he was left unable to live a life of his own. His last words in the song were, 'Mother did it need to be so high...". "Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing She won't let you fly but she might let you sing Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe Of course mama's gonna help build the wall."
I had the pleasure of seeing Floyd three times in concert. Great times, wonderful memories. I enjoy the two of you and your videos. Have a wonderful evening. Brett, Clayton, NC.
This song actually illustrates how a mother's love can cut both ways. It's a call and response between a son and his mother. The son is reluctant to go out and experience life on his own where he may fail or get hurt but will ultimately grow and learn from those mistakes. So, instead he constantly looks to his mother for advice and protection, which she is way too eager to provide. Her love will end up stifling his development as a man, so he will remain the innocent little boy she wants him to be forever.
Music so deeply emotional and complex. One listen is simply impossible to grasp the meaningful story telling. I'm just so happy so many people here on U Tube do this. "You really got to put yourself on a different level when you listen to Pink Floyd". Exactly! You could not have said it any better. I really enjoy watching you guys. Music composed and played on the Pink Floyd level can take years to fully comprehend and appreciate. ❤.
My mother had this song played for me over the radio the day I was born in the hospital almost 42 years ago. My son was born this past September 7th it was the first song he heard that night I had one earphone in his ear n one in mine as his mother slept from the long day. I know the songs meaning but to me it means something Abit different. Not a mother that's overbearing but one that's overwhelmed n unsure of how much of the new world for the child she's willing to share instead of teach. I and my wife plan to show him all we can n to a limit the rest will be his to find. N I think the mother in this masterpiece was afraid of the rest rather than the limit.
You’re not listening. The song is not about a living mother listing to her son and giving him advice. She is overbearing and overprotective. She will have her thumb on him for ever.
Hey Jason unfortunately this is the norm for some of us. Thank you for informing us that this behavior is wrong.

Many reactors misunderstand the meaning. Very easy to do during a first listen. Watching the movie will give a listener more insight into some of their songs but whether you get all of their inferences or not, there's no denying the greatness of their music and talent. They are on a completely different level, as far as I'm concerned, in the music industry.
Your comment seems a little rude and overbearing you sound like a real mother......😂
This is about an overbearing mother who puts all her insecurities on to her son and metaphorically "Builds a Wall" to keep everyone & everything away. You honestly should do the whole album to really understand it.
i was thinking that the whole time watching them...did u HAVE to tell them what the song REALLY means and burst their bubble? lolol
Mother did it need to be so...high?
I don't think anyone under 40 listens to the lyrics anymore it's just about the beat or music. Even at 19 when this album came out while the music was the big thing for me i still paid attention to the lyrics and while i didn't understand all lyrics at that age i still had an idea what the songs were about.
There is nowhere in the song that states mom is bad .. she's just scared.. beautiful song about a mom who loves and worries

Uh, this is a song about an overbearing mother; to the point he wants to build a wall around himself and she's helping do it. It's actually sad to me.
yeah, they totally missed the message on this one.

I'm 59 and my mom is 91 and I'm still her baby God bless moms all over the world.
The mother is not comforting, she's actually overprotective, controlling and possessive. But I love that you like Pink Floyd so much.
That guitar solo is everything. This song is so special. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you both for this reaction...Since I was 11 years old in the early 70`s this is my favorite Rock N Roll band.
My first rock concert 1971 Jethro Tull,. Aqualung tour, I was 13. Great time to grow up on great music.
I bet that concert was awesome.@@lancevaughn432

I love this one. I cried so hard when I first heard it, which for me was only a few months ago. I couldn't stop playing it after that!
Roger Waters is a master songwriter
Did you also think this was a celebration of motherhood? Or did you actually get it?
@@rmyikzelf5604 Smotherhood.
I'm afraid you missed the meaning. Check out the lyrics. Mama is a little whacked 😉
At the end of the song "Mother, did it need to be so high." Meaning, the wall that she helped build around her son. She was overprotective.

Saw Roger Waters in concert a few years a go and he sang this as one of his encore songs......powerfull
This is one man's life that became an Ouroboros. He loved his Mom and she messed him up so bad that he was completely dysfunctional in a relationship.

I saw Roger Waters preform The Wall in 2012 and it was thee most amazing concert I’d ever been to.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very beautiful song 🎵
Love you guys. And you are so right. Pink floyd is a feeling. You guys have great taste. For younger generation you guys are starting to see what pink floyd does to you. Little wine. A blunt and the dark. Put on the wall. Nothing like it. God bless you guys and keep rocking
All I can say " Pink Floyd is iconic " in the rock community! At 63 yrs old I will never get tired of this band. Rock bands from that Era may have aged or passed on, but rock will never die!
Amen bro. We all love Pink Floyd. Love seeing the young ones loving our music we grew up with. 1 night when alone kids are with grandparents. Turn lights out. Glass of wine and a blunt. Light that shit and put on side 1 of Pink Floyd the Wall. You will sink more into those seats and feel Pink Floyd.
I love how I have seen y'alls transformation into FLOWER CHILDREN! ❤️🫴👐🌹🌹🌺🌷
Back in the day when 20,000 people could go to a live concert, STFU, and just listen to the music.
Thank you, Shawn and Mel. ❤
you two remind me of how i felt many years ago as i listened for the first time. timeless and beautiful.
You probably don't understand how much I love and thank you two for this. 😉✌️🤘🖖.... that's as far as I can go right now. 😉✌️🤘🖖
I played this for my mom on her birthday she weeped such a amazing song
I am 63 and this is the first time I heard this song and you are right this isn't a song it's a masterpiece.
The name Pink Floyd is named after a combination of two African American blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council
It makes you feel good? "Mamas gonna make all of your nightmares come true." His mother is pouring all her fears, her insecurities, her issues onto her son and slowly pushing him away from the real world.
Another album that I and most of my peers bought as soon as we could.
I remember the wall album coming out. It has been a long time since the previous "Animals" album which was very dark. I kinda thought they were over. Then "The Wall". What a piece of work, just mind blowing. I noticed you guys have done a couple of ABBA's happy songs. Be nice if you would do some from after the couples started having problems. The music got more adult and was some of their best work. "The Winner Takes It All" would be a good one to show their other side.
This channel is so underrated. This channel needs to double its subs in the next few months. Come on guys, whoever reading this, notify your friends.
How can you get comfort out of this. Did you listen to the lyrics? Mothers going to make all of your nightmares come true. Mothers gonna put all of her fears into you. She won’t let you fly but she MIGHT let you sing. Mother will always find out where you’ve been. This mother is a scary monster.
Beautiful track. The solo is just immense. The lyrics are kinda horrifying for how sweet it sounds. Brilliant
I saw this show live at The Forum in LA. Didn't even have a joint, but when It was over I felt like I dropped acid. Incredible show.💯❤️🙏✌️
1979. 27 Feb 1980 I saw the concert at Nassau Coliseum. 42 yrs later it is still the best concert ever.
Watching you guys make the discovery I made as a kid is awesome! Cool people for sure! Lovin it!
I've been listening to pink Floyd since I was 16 I am 63 now I've seen them 4 times there is nothing like it in the world glad you guys are enjoying them they have a lot of great songs enjoy them all u will be a fan for life
The wall changed my hole outlook on life probably 96 jr in high school. Me a few friends just drinking and tripping out for our first time. We watched the wall some of us couldn’t handle what we saw heard.
God bless my old high school buddy Ryan pooler that has passed but i still remember listening to the birds that morning sun up just ryne and i. No not the band but actually birds it was something ill always share with Ryan. We both new what was going on even if everyone else thought we were crazy lol!!
Pink floyed so awesome
Thanks for sharing
Stay u keeping it real
I was at that concert in London in 1980. Amazing.
Me too 😁
Was playing PinkFloyd last night. The neighbors threw a brick thru my window so they could hear it better
Awesome, thank you guys, always enjoy that song!
Mama will put all of her fears into you... oh yeah, that´s what the love of a Moma is all about!
Well, well. You all just pulled out one of my personal favorites. Thanks.
Pretty much every reactor I've seen so far: "This is so beautiful. So comforting. So sentimental about how a mother takes care of her child etc."
The actual song: "Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true. Mama's gonna put all her fears into you."
Mother is building the wall, helping him find his fears and put in another brick, wall himself off from the world and stay in her tower, under her control, fearing everything else.
This song is everything. Miss you mom,
If you really like pink Floyd check out music from when they 1st started to now. The progression in technology and their skills progressed together like peanut butter and jelly.
Loved your smile when they said not to trust the government. We shouldn’t trust them.
Written by the singer, Roger Waters. His father was shot down and died over Europe in WW2
Rich dense arrangements and philosophical lyrics 🙏🏽
No other band in existence has come close to capturing human emotion with music like they did.
What's so warm about "mother going to make all your nightmares come true mama's going to put all of her fears into you"???
It's funny how many people find this song comforting despite its obvious intention!
Glad you love the floyd
So rare in reaction videos for both people the know what it means to FEEL music. Usually it's one or neither. Music is meant to feel and create emotion and Pink Floyd are the best at it!! Love this reaction!!!
The greatest group of all time. Pink Floyd will take you on a trip and pull on all your emotions during your experience. Put on you headphones and a Pink Floyd album and kick back and close you eyes and take the roller coaster ride.
I luv this song...it reminds me of my mom...I actually told her thank you for being like this before she passed away....ty..it's ok to be protective over your children ..
It's a song about an over-protective mother who stunts her child's emotional growth. That's why he asks at the end if the wall had to be quite so high.
The overbearing mother overprotected the kid and was eventually devistated by the truths of reality surrounding his life The kid went nuts in the end. Last line in the song, " did it need to be so high", (the wall).
You just heard one chapter out of sequence to the best Rock opera ever written, The Wall beginning to end is the story of a rock star "Pink" Father died when he was young, very strict school, controlling mother, etc, each one, another brick in his wall of isolation
She tied him so tightly to her apron strings, that he was left unable to live a life of his own. His last words in the song were, 'Mother did it need to be so high...".
"Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing She won't let you fly but she might let you sing Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe Of course mama's gonna help build the wall."
I had the pleasure of seeing Floyd three times in concert. Great times, wonderful memories. I enjoy the two of you and your videos. Have a wonderful evening. Brett, Clayton, NC.
Don’t feel the haters, love you guys and your genuine reactions 👍
This song actually illustrates how a mother's love can cut both ways. It's a call and response between a son and his mother. The son is reluctant to go out and experience life on his own where he may fail or get hurt but will ultimately grow and learn from those mistakes. So, instead he constantly looks to his mother for advice and protection, which she is way too eager to provide. Her love will end up stifling his development as a man, so he will remain the innocent little boy she wants him to be forever.
I happy you love them o of loved them from the start as I can so relate to their music
The name Pink Floyd comes from an amalgam of the names of two African-American Blues musicians from the '20s and 30s, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
Every reaction i have seen to this video has been taken the exact opposite way it is meant. 😂
You two would love pink Floyd's.. wish you were here
I love that you stop rhe song when you want to talk instead of talking over the music. Good show!
Music so deeply emotional and complex. One listen is simply impossible to grasp the meaningful story telling. I'm just so happy so many people here on U Tube do this. "You really got to put yourself on a different level when you listen to Pink Floyd". Exactly! You could not have said it any better. I really enjoy watching you guys. Music composed and played on the Pink Floyd level can take years to fully comprehend and appreciate. ❤.
I mean,let's be honest. Any song with a Gilmour solo is a winner!
If you really want to experience Pink Floyd grab your favorite drink and smoke of your choice and sit back and RELAX!!!!!
My mother had this song played for me over the radio the day I was born in the hospital almost 42 years ago. My son was born this past September 7th it was the first song he heard that night I had one earphone in his ear n one in mine as his mother slept from the long day. I know the songs meaning but to me it means something Abit different. Not a mother that's overbearing but one that's overwhelmed n unsure of how much of the new world for the child she's willing to share instead of teach. I and my wife plan to show him all we can n to a limit the rest will be his to find. N I think the mother in this masterpiece was afraid of the rest rather than the limit.
You 2 are on FIRE today. 👌🙂❤
Brilliant Song Love Their Music.👍
