7-13-11 - "Body" ~ Mother Mother

Wow, I went six months without posting a second song by Mother Mother.  Wrecking Ball is one of their more accessible and poppy songs; this one is not quite so much (but it's not their weirdest, either... I may post one of those one of these days...) 


The band frequently deals with issues of self image, self worth, societal flaws, mortality, etc.  There's room for interpretation here, but the gist is that the nature of our physical existence is fleeting, and our bodies are imperfect and prone to decay and fail.  I suppose they're making a statement about the true value of a person being the mind and soul, and/or looking forward to an afterlife... what do you think?

"I've grown tired of this body
cumbersome and heavy body..."
