Oh yea, interestingly enough, if you listen you hear her sining the backing vocals.

I have tried and tried to tell Dobbles you can hear her, he still claims to this very day (I don't know if he has ever seen this video) that there is NO backing vocals.

Anyhow... this song is based on Maynerd James Keenans disbelief in God at that particular time...

His mom however was an AVID believer, and never gave up until the day she died.

If you listen to the lyrics he talks about 'what did he ever do for you', and all this stuff relating directly to his mom and her beliefs and how he thinks God has abandoned her. She was like paralyzed giving birth to him or something.

One of their follow up albums was titled 10,000 days - which equates to 23 years or something... which is how many years his mom lived afters he was paralyzed.

This song is the beginning of of 2 songs dedicated to how he realizes his mothers beliefs are okay and he accepts her beliefs and hopes God takes her to a better place:

Wings for Marie (his mom)

part of the lyrics state (in reference to his previous disdain for his mothers religious beliefs):

Those moments that I wouldn't see

Cause you, you pray for me too

What have I done to be a son to an angel

What have I done to be worthy

This is Pt. 2

I love his singing.
