Background [link]

The song was first performed in 2010 along with several other tracks from Panic of Girls during the band's Australian tour, as well as during festival appearances in the UK.

Release [link]

On December 5, 2010 "Mother" was made available as a free download from the official Blondie website.[3] The track was later remixed with a different vocal take for the album and single release. The track was played for the first time on March 17, 2011 on BBC Radio 2's The Ken Bruce Show. On Amazon.co.uk an explicit version was released alongside the regular one.[4]

Artwork [link]

The cover artwork for "Mother" was revealed on May 5, 2011.[5] It displays a band picture digitally manipulated to resemble a Chris Berens painting, like the artwork for its parent album. Elements of the Panic of Girls cover art are used. Also the text is inspired by the original writing by Berens.

Music video [link]

The official music video was released on May 17, 2011 on the YouTube channel of Blondie's record label, Eleven Seven.[6]

The video starts with a queue of people waiting to enter the nightclub (called 'Mother') where Blondie are performing. The loudness of the song causes zombies below the club to wake and, as the song progresses, they make their way up to the dancefloor. They start to turn the clubbers into zombies until everyone in the club has been turned. The video ends with Blondie themselves being turned. The video was shot in Kingston, New York.

    Angel (Eurythmics song)

    "Angel" is a song recorded by the British pop music duo Eurythmics. It was written by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart and Jimmy Iovine. The song appears on Eurythmics' We Too Are One album and was released as its fourth UK single in May 1990, and would be the duo's final single for almost a decade (discounting the re-release of two older singles the following year). It was also released as the second single from the album in the US.

    Lennox said in an interview at the time that the song was inspired by the death of her aunt, as she sings about a woman who has killed herself and now has "gone to meet her maker". The music video, directed by Sophie Muller, features the duo taking part in a seance and running through a burning house, and was not widely seen in the US (not shown at all on MTV) supposedly due to several scenes depicting the occult.

    "Angel" peaked at number twenty-three on the UK singles chart, though failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100.

    Sleeping Angel

    by: Whispering Woods

    Cast down from Eden
    In rain I will
    Fall...
    Asleep...
    Hiding the sun
    My clouds will then
    Take me...
    Away...
    Misty is the path
    To my mind
    Clad in sorrow
    Broken are my
    Feeble wretched wings
    In my dreams.
    Falling to the ground
    Whispering mellow sound
    Silent sound...
    Searching for the sky
    Darken cloudy night
    Silent night...
    Sleeping angel
    Rise into the light
    Throw away your
    Cursed agony
    Follow mighty
    Path to the stars
