All Of My Mother's Names = "Summers With Amma"?

Postby javier on Wed May 30, 2012 3:22 am

Rather confused about the actual track name.

On the original Dead Bees album it was simply called All Of My Mother's Names.

However on this page at davidsylvian.net http://www.davidsylvian.net/releases/tracks-poems/60-tracks-davidsylvian/63-all-of-my-mothers-names.html it has the added subtitle "Summers with Amma". From where did this suddenly appear?

Similarly on Amazon (and other music websites) the track is listed with the subtitle.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Bees-Cake- ... B00000I8UD

The only other reference I can find to such a subtitle is in a post on this forum regarding Dead Bees On A Cake on http://www.japansylvian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=255&p=4172, I read this:
baht habit wrote:Dobro #1 - retains the slot in the second spot. Correct or incorrect to do so, I've also renamed this song "Summers With Amma". The piece is much too interesting and deserves a legitimate name rather than a mere description.


But this is simply a personal attribution and to a completely different song.

On davidsylvian.com, the official site, there is no mention at all of the subtitle.


So what's the real story here?

On the inside credit sheet of Dead Bees On A Cake, the subtitle 'summers with amma' is listed directly under All Of My Mother's Names - above the list of musicians who performed on the track.

Thanks Baht.

Just out of interest, why did you decide to rename Dobro #1 the same as the subtitle of the other song rather than something new?

:) I suppose that I don't harbor a single creative bone of originality in my entire body.....

No, I just figured that since Sylvian mentioned the season of Summer in the lyrics of that he wrote for Dobro #1, then it just happened to come across as somewhat appropriate to me. In my opinion, the title Dobro #1 sounds like some musical exercise you see in some music book centered on folk and Appalachian music. :-)
