March 9 - Mutter




~ Rammstein Mutter 

The video above is an awesome version of the song Mutter by the band Rammstein but sung by a children's choir.  It was the inspiration for this balloon.


Buckle up though.  This is an enjoyingly disturbing song, only read on if you are prepared.

The song tells the story of a child born in a laboratory, outside of the womb - thus having no 'true' mother or father, under observation as an experiment and not allowed to be a child.

He sets out on a plan to kill both the mother who never birthed him and himself, but in the end only succeeds in maiming himself and realizes that he is no better off and now he has even less than he had.   From the Wiki:
The child begs, possibly prays, for strength, but his dead mother does not answer. The narrative of the song is similar to Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, in that the character takes revenge for his misfortunes on his 'parent', and then ends up no different from before the 'parent' died.
