I agree it's a contradiction. But for a while now I've been pretty sure that life is mostly made out of contradictions. It's true that we have to break out of the "mother" wall, but it's also true that we have to live within the "mother" wall. Partly it's a matter of figuring out *when* to break out, and partly it's figuring out how, having broken out, to leave the 'bridge' unbroken, and further, leaving a part of yourself inside. That way you get the best of both worlds and, more importantly, *balance*. (Caveat: I'm less than half your age [and a little more than Amanda's], but I seem to be both "artist" and "engineer" by nature, and have even been complimented on my knack for translating the two. Hopefully this will be of some help!)

Fantastic video - however, the download link that I received takes me to In Harm's Way (which is another incredible video)

Geoff Durham

Such a great song. And I love the artwork as well! So powerful.

Kerry Frey

Metadata for the mp3 of "Mother" suggests a 2 part single with "In Harm's Way". Was that your intention?

I just heard this playing in the outdoor mall where I work...in Woodland Hills, CA

Bruce Rauhe

beautiful, intense, and moving. love, love, love!! thank you for your passion and art.

Finally got to watch it! Amanda, I love that you are getting to make the art you want, however you want to make it. I had a lot of different feelings watching this video, but over all I liked it. It's a performance art installation to me, not so much a release of new music to jam to. It's not for jamming, it's for thinking. Watching you breastfeed a Trump-like figure made me cringe hugely, but it also made me think about how Trump was an infant at one time, with a mother who may or may not have breastfeed him. He's delusional and dangerous, but my mom says that the root of all ill doing is the unhealthy channeling of fear. Fear of not being perceived as in charge. Fear of being perceived as weak. Fear of being perceived as having a little dick. Trump is so full of fear, as are his supporters. Unrelated maybe, but I cried while I watched that vox mini documentary on white supremacists in the Trump era, because to listen to them talk is to listen to a litany of fear and confusion. I felt real empathy for those people. Not sympathy. Empathy. My mom says the most important thing we can do for those who are lost and afraid is to be empathetic and compassionate. Defend yourself, protect yourself, don't let them break you, but don't let them stop you from loving unconditionally. God it's so difficult. It's a horrifying notion to remember sometimes, but it's crucial. And that's what your video gave me. I like that you kind of represented that empathy while at the same time represented his many fears. While at the same time breastfed and grown man. It made me say WTF but that is exactly why I love and support you.

Haven't been able to download the video, darnit. It keeps saying the network connection has been lost. I know it's on the server side, though, not my client side, because I've tried it across multiple networks. Oh well. Not really a problem. Just wanted to let you know.

Casey

Just thank you. <3 You are brave, artistic, and maternal.

You articulated beautifully exactly how I felt about this work. Thanks and I think your Mom is awesome.

Alexander McKenzie

Dear Amanda, I'm 77 years old, male, and trained as an engineer, so I'm not the best person to unroll the layers of your art. I described your "Mother" video as "hauntingly beautiful" to my friends, so you know I like it. But I have to confess it left me confused, and I usually find your work clarifying. On one hand, there are the words and context. In "The Wall", "Mother" was (to me) clearly another part of the wall. Built with compassion and concern, perhaps (no "dark sarcasm"), but designed to avoid letting anything "dirty get through" and therefore confining. The message I see there is, to be free you need to break down all the walls, including the "mother" wall. On the other side is the video. As I understand the video (and as understood by the HuffPost reviewer) if only Mr Trump and his coterie could accept (or had received) the healing power of mothering they could become comfortably human. Our problems would be solved (or at least alleviated) by the power of women and the power of mothering. This is certainly dissonant with the words and context of the song. Then, on the third hand, there is the final image of the video, a little girl adding a brick to the wall. Another dissonance. Maybe all this dissonance is intentional, but it doesn't seem like you. Sincerely, Alex

Jason E Cooper

Just to say it has taken a while to catch up on all your amazing work and this had me in tears - what a moving song. Hope all is well Jason
