The song narrates a conversation by Pink (Waters) and his mother (Gilmour).

As with the other songs on The Wall, 'Mother' tells a portion of Pink's story.Finally, the song concludes with a suddenly stripped-down arrangement and a ritardando in which Waters sings, 'Mother did it need to be so high?' This is often misheard as, 'Mother, didn't mean to get so high.' Waters sings another verse, which is once more followed by Gilmour's chorus (with altered lyrics). Gilmour sings a chorus in narrative response to that verse and starts his guitar solo right after he finishes it. At 5 minutes, 36 seconds long, the song has a minimal intro, consisting only of sharp inhalation and rapid exhalation before the first verse is sung by Waters. The song switches from a quiet dynamic to a loud one, expanding instrumentation from acoustic guitar and solo voice to include (by the song's end) reed organ, piano, drums, electric bass, vocal harmony, and electric guitar.Pink Floyd - Mother (official music video) Sung By: David Gilmour (chorus), Roger Waters (verse)
