I’ve never really heard a part II to a song and it was actually good. These guys are amazing.

[sabriel_-]

aight, everyone is talking about "an eye for an eye, a leg for a leg" but can we pleeease talk about how the "she really didn't wanna make it messy, she really, really didn't but the girl gone cray" is sooo good!?! LIKE BRO WTF I LOVE THAT-

[YenYen]

To people who don't understand the song: So basically in order to FULLY understand why the father is running from his daughter, you have to listen to HAYLOFT I. 5 years after the father killed his daughters boyfriend, the daughter comes for revenge. Although her boyfriends death will be 'avenged', it still won't really bring him back to life or cure her broken heart. With a gun, she runs to kill her father out of spite, as explained in the lyrics "she's not a bad girl" and "An eye for an eye, a leg for a leg, a shot in the heart doesn't make it unbreak" and when she started doing unhealthy practices as listed in the beginning of this song. So yeah the dad dies

[koudarose]

when the chorus hits in "My baby's got a gun" before "she's not a bad kid", anyone else hear the blood-curdling scream?

[Luq_zh]

"An eye for an eye,
A leg for a leg
A shot in the heart doesn't make it un-break"

[Ender_-uuth]

Aight, can we talk about how the line "an eye for an eye, a leg for a leg. A shot in the heart doesn't make it unbreak" is sung so nicely?!

[cki]

I love the attention to detail here

The lines "An eye for an eye a leg for a leg, a shot in the heart doesn't make it un-break" is literal gold, and the way "She's not a bad kid" is sung really brings out more story and emotion from the song

"She's not a bad kid (bad kid)
But she had to do it (had to do it)"

The echo and feminine voice of the 'bad kid' and 'had to do it' really shows how far gone the poor girl is and how hellbent she is on revenge, the echo when it shifts from 'She' to 'They' also implies it was done by one person for two souls, that she's avenging him. And(possibly, but I may just be reading too deep into it) the main voice is of the father realizing his mistake too late and accepting his fate


The song is very well written and executed, this is why I love Mother Mother.

[Freiheit_Faring]

"An eye for an eye, a leg for a leg
A shot in the heart doesn't make it unbreak."

Great song, and great line

[kaeyasfavoriteeyepatch]

Love how they managed to maintain the feel of the first one while still making this one original and good in it's own right. A perfect continuation

[deqce]

Okay hear me out...this is amazing because the first part felt more adrenaline-y and from the perspective of a scared girl so it was a little bit more sharp, while this part is a little bit more calm (like the melody) but the mixture of sharp and calm gives this part a feeling of slowly going mad which is exactly what happens in the story
So in contact Mother Mother are geniuses and I'm in love

[bluemooncat-iogh]

''an eye for an eye ''
"a leg for a leg"
" a shot in the heart doesn't make it un-break"

[Yumei..]

"An eye for an, a leg for a leg. A shot in the heart doesnt make it unbreak. She really didn't wanna make it messy, she really really didn't but the girl gon cray!" I swear, this is one of the verses that makes the song so good!! :D

[baaaiipp]

I really love how the first one is like the sorrow of her dad killing her lover and the second one is like her kind of villian origin story-

[lofkii]

People say usually sequels aren't good, but this is amazing

[inali_illustrates]

I love how this one continues the story instead of just being a remix of sorts

[viral]

Now we just need a version where I and II blend into each other seamlessly

[Bucketnetta]

I don’t know if I like Hayloft 1 or 2 more but this is

[littlefairygirl]

Mother mother is such a kick ass band. The thing I love the most about them is they always sing as a group, never singular and if Ryan is singing on his own, the others always join in during the chorus, I just love it. I wish I could see them live someday. great detail on the video too, I like how you added some clips from the video.

[Death_LIFE-]

The part “she not a bad kid they had to do it she had to crack she had to pop” IS SOOOO GOOD

[angreypigeon]

Did anyone notice that during the part “she’s not a bad kid” you can actually hear a little girl’s voice singing the lines in the background? That is some insane attention to details
