Speculations on Lana's relationship with her mother

[Whoopiedoo 442]

Not much is really known about Lana's childhood, right? Raise Me Up is the only song that actually speaks about her relationship with her mother, or how it was in the past, didn't seem like it was a good one.

My Momma - Lizzy Grant

 

Lyrics

 

My momma wouldn’t say you were a nice guy
But you’re under 40 and you have a job
My momma wouldn’t say you was a good boy
But you’re making money
And you’re working hard so
I’m gonna take you out
I don’t feel like it’s wrong
Me and my momma, we don’t get along

My momma she would tell your hair was too long
But your hair exactly’s what I like the best
And my momma sure would tell you was a …
But I don’t know that…and you don’t pass the test
I’m gonna take you out
I don’t feel like it’s wrong
Me and my momma, we don’t get along

Oh baby, I’m standing so close, I can’t back down
You’re smiling and I know I’m over and done now
I am done now

My momma say that it was wrong to see you
I lie just to meet you, I lie to get in
My momma sure would say that I … you
But that’s the only way I knew how to begin

So maybe you got your own problems
Who doesn’t?
I’m crazy, you’re addicted, we’re all of a sudden

My momma she would love you like I love you
If she ever met you, if she ever knew
My momma sure would fall right on top of you
If she’d ever saw you, she’d be smitten too
I’ll never take you home, I want you all for my own
Don’t let my momma hear your pretty song
I’m gonna take you out
I don’t feel like it’s wrong
Me and my momma, we don’t get along.

I feel like she and her mother have a slightly awkwardish relationship. I think Pat seems like a much more . . . conservative woman than Lana is. I once read in a magazine that Lana said her mother told her as a child to never wear to much make up, and not to wear any to bed, which are too things that Lana has completely disregarded for her whole life. Lana also mentioned before how she sent Paradise to her relatives, and a lot of them were taken aback by Lana's . . . . harsh language in some songs. That doesn't necessarily mean her mom felt that way too, but I wouldn't be surprised. It also has sounded like Rob supported Lana's music career a bit more than Pat did.   Just some thoughts on the mom thread.

[Monicker 3,035]

Shall we invite Pat over to this thread for some insight? I bet she'd love to comment. Pull up a chair, Pat, please. 

 

I bet Rob & Chuck regularly rock the fuck out on 4 hand piano, tearing up the living room and setting it on fire, while Lana is off in a corner being all doom & gloom and giving Momma Grant headache after headache in typical oldest child fashion. Lil brat Lizzy. NO WONDER U WERE SENT 2 BOARDING SKOOL

^^^^what i meant

weak azz browza.

Yeah, pretty much :/

 

Honestly, I wouldn't read too much into songs like "My Momma." As with many of her other songs, we have no way of knowing the extent to which it's autobiographical, or based on friends' stories, or entirely fictional. (My money's on Lizzy having met some interesting people in her lifetime.)

 

Just as an example, "My Momma" is more powerful if written as the narrator's personal experience then it would be as, say...

 

My friend's momma would say she had deceived this guy she's totally into

Hey I wonder would her momma be too

So glad it's them not me

Tee-hee

You talked about a subject that I always think about. As a writer is very hard to not use who surrounds you as material. I always have the feeling that many of her songs as the narrator are actually about others. Once I saw a comment of Lana were she said that when people didnt like the album or the songs she felt sad because was like people didnt like the the story about the lives involved in the songs. She didnt said they dont like ME. I always thought that about a lot of her material but that particular comment of hers was a good click

[Ray La ana 14]

In alot of her songs she mentions her dad and I havent heard her saying anything at all about her mom Did her mom abuse her, Did she abandon her ect... ????

[TrailerParkDarling 5,691]

I think her mom was kinda cookie cutter tbh and would have preferred Lizzy be a debutante instead of a rebel girl. but who rly knows their history besides lana and patty, I'm sure her mom is proud of her

[my ol man isa batman 480]

lana likes daddys 

[phahad 691]

her mother used to beat her every night because she went out with older men and had unprotected sex

[ldr72 232]

lana likes daddys
