"Matilda Mother" is a song by British psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, featured on their 1967 debut album, ''The Piper at the Gates of Dawn''. Written by Syd Barrett, it is sung mostly by Richard Wright with Barrett joining in on choruses and singing the whole last verse. It was the first song recorded for the album. ==Lyrics and music== The lyrics quote fragments of fairy tales as read from a book to the singer by his mother ("read(ing) the scribbly black", referring to writing in a book as a child sees it), and in the chorus he implores her to "tell me more".〔Reisch, George A. (''Pink Floyd and Philosophy: Careful With that Axiom, Eugene!'' ). Chicago: Open Court, 2007, ISBN 978-0-8126-9636-3, p. 234.〕 "Matilda Mother" represents a common theme in Barrett's work: his nostalgia for childhood and awareness that it could not be regained.〔Palacios, Julian. ''Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd: Dark Globe''. London: Plexus, 2010, ISBN 978-0-85965-431-9, p. 236〕 The song begins with an unusual bass and organ interlude. Roger Waters repeatedly plays the B on the 16th fret of the G-string by varying the lower note from D to F# on the D string. Unlike many older beat and pop songs, the guitar rarely plays chords, and most unusually for Western music, Wright provides an organ solo in the F# Phrygian dominant scale with a natural sixth instead of its typical flatted counterpart. The song ends with a simple E mixolydian-based waltz with wordless vocal harmonies of Wright and Barrett. Barrett originally wrote the song around verses from Hilaire Belloc's ''Cautionary Tales'', in which a series of naughty children, including Matilda, receive their (often gruesome) comeuppance. He was forced to rewrite and re-record the track when Belloc's estate unexpectedly denied permission to use these lyrics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Syd's Fractured Fairy Tales )〕
