This album came out shortly before my mother fell ill with terminal cancer. I fully believe this song and 10,00Days Wings For Marie II are written about his mothers' passing. This album kept me as sane as i could be through caring for my own mother and was transformational to me personally. The timing was so odd. I felt a deep connection to this song and to all of Tool's music actually, but I truly want to thank them for the transcendence this album gave me while i went through what was one of the most difficult times in my life. His anger at his mother had been publicly documented through Judith Marie in A Perfect Circle. I understand those feelings as I also had problems with relating to my own mother until facing the prospect of losing her then i came to see as Maynard did the beauty of her life and spirit and what had held us apart was no longer as important as what drew us together. I pray that my mother also received her Wings. Love is transcendent it passes through all barriers of time space life death and even belief. Thank you for this chance to throw out my 2 cents.
@elyssapipistral My mom had cancer. I did not know what took Maynard's mom. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer that metastasized. She had tumors in her lungs brain and spine. I was her primary caregiver at her home. I went to all her treatments and such.

@elyssapipistral Since you wrote this in 2014, and in your later comment you wrote about your mums disease in past tense, I assume she had passed away in that meantime? ... I wish you all peace in the universe and your mother too! And may the beauty and deepness of art be always with us and accompany and strenghten us in all our difficulties throughout life!
