Mother by Danzig performed by Lissie

"The band and I are very excited to release our new covers EP "Cryin' To You". Self-produced in our home of Ojai, CA. It's our first independent release! We were approached to cover "Mother" by Danzig which led to a fun week in the studio that inspired us to lay down some other covers we had either been playing live already or had been wanting to do. I chose "Story of My Life" because it was a current hit whose lyrics I could identify with. I chose "Electric Eye" because a friend suggested I check it out after a conversation we'd had about the Internet and privacy. It was ahead of its time! We've been performing "Hold On, We're Going Home" live and I think it's a really beautiful song. "To Ramona" I'd covered as a solo artist and its message still speaks to me today. We'd jokingly called what we made "roller rink folk metal" but as silly as it sounds I think this work is indicative of what's to come. Raw and tough yet still tender and vulnerable. I really hope people enjoy it!"

A special thanks to Team One.

Holy shit, I wasn't ready for that.

[Quaila]

I've been searching all night for "that rad righteous song that starts slow then gets fast and raw that i don't know the words to" finally victory is mine

[kagame]

Won't forget that moment when Evolve was epic.

[icaliver]

I’m loving the all the music, she’s got that Stevie Nicks vibe to her voice. It’s familiar yet New, and its awesome to hear.

[nicholastartaglia]

Still come back here every so often. One of the best covers I’ve heard still to this day

[ocd]

Lemme put it like this... this cover is so damn good, when I first heard it I thought it was her own original song. I legit completely forgot Danzig performed this years prior and was in love with this version. This is hands down the best cover to ever cover a song lol

[phild.]

I remember watching the Evolve trailer almost screaming "Who in the hell did this amazing cover??!" Oh man does this cover give me chills. I want to hear more. Subbed.

[bread]

Not many could do justice with this cover, but goddamn does Lissie rock this.

[audiotherapy]

a friend showed me this while we were driving. its a rare occasion i have goosebumps on my shins. Epic

[OvidianIdeals]

Jesus...learned about Lissie from Loudermilk. Finding her doing metal covers is just...*chef's kiss

Badass.

[justpeachy]

This chicken can rock 😍 you can feel the emotions in her voice...literal chills.

[_IKLZY_]

Lissie make more music - waiting unpatiently

[Jimi]

I've spent 9 years coming back to this song as one of my favourites to jam along with. The shift in tempo and tone just build and build into something really fun and expressive. Fantastic track.

Lyrics (adapted to this cover) :

Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother

Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life
Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh mother

Father
I'm gonna take your daughter out tonight
I'm gonna show her my world
Oh father

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh mother

Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me
Do you wanna feel everything
Oh father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like

[cotesteph]

Just found this song. Wow, getting Fleetwood Mac and Danzig vibes at the same time. It sounds awesome.

[MrTeo]

This deserve a thumb up & comment from Danzig himself!!!

[aideneischeid]

Bro i got the biggest goosebumps ever at the beginning of the song she's got a great voice

[gdziejestmojpies]

[nathantaylor]

[conorcunningham]
