'Mother Me' is the working title of an unfinished and unreleased song produced during the recording of 1990 album Violator by Depeche Mode. Due to its nature as an unreleased song, it is unclear if 'Mother Me' was intended to be the final song title. No recording of the song currently circulates and its lyrics are not publicly known.
Notes
The demo for 'Mother Me' appears on the Perversion demo tape and features Martin Gore performing lead vocals. The unreleased song is often erroneously confused with the instrumental song 'Monghi' by Vienna, which appears on the Rarities Of Mode CD bootleg mislabeled as 'Mother Me'.[2]
Alan Wilder's comments
Alan Wilder reveals a bit of info on Shunt Q&A about this track:[3]
- From: Eddie
- E-mail: [email protected]
The song you mentioned for 'Violator' called 'Mother Me', will you please give a description of what it sounded like, any possible lyrics, whether this song was ever actually recorded and who sang it, Dave or Martin?
Alan Wilder: It sort of got started with some drums, bass + a couple of other parts but was shelved quite quickly. It was medium tempo and if I remember correctly it slipped into 7/8 time signature for the chorus - oops. I think Dave would have sung it.
Wilder recalls the unreleased song in a Violator editorial on Shunt, the official Recoil website: "There was a song called 'Mother Me' which we also recorded during this period but never finished."
Daryl Bamonte's comments
Daryl Bamonte said regarding 'Mother Me':
"I remember a track called 'Mother Me, Smother Me' that I believe was recorded for Violator, but didn't make the final cut for some reason. It was a really good song, but I don't think it was even used for a b-side."[1]
