Man I remember being an angsty 15 yr old and screaming along with this on the radio in '96. Credit to Yellowjackets for reminding me that this song existed!
Lol. I just posted bc Yellow jackets brought me here. Man I had loved this song and I was almost 40 to your 15. But a younnng 40 still rockin as I still do. Hehe
Yes, 30 years this September. We saw Tracy play with Blue Man Group several years ago. We were at the front of the stage, and I held up a photo of her from our wedding. She pointed to the side of the stage and yelled to ho backstage after the concert. She looked at the photo closer and said "I borrowed those clothes from my mother". I had her autograph the photo for me.
My big sister and me were both adopted at birth. When our mother. finally had two children of her own, my sister and I were no longer needed. We were both kicked out before either one of us we're 15. This song means the world to kids like us. Thanks for giving us a voice Tracey
Holy crap, dude! If you still use this youtube channel, hope you are good! That is f**king nuts! She didn't deserve kids. Life is generally unfair. But you can mould your life as you wish, now. Just don't stay in one place if it sucks. I know.
This is the worst thing I have read in a super super long time. Im so sorry, I hope they got in lots of trouble or karma got them. This is a great song, I was living on campus in college and I would lie to my mom and dad exactly like in the song. I became addicted to heroin my 2nd semester of my junior year and my life was a mess. Thank God I got far away from that sh!t
She was popular… college radio station popular, not mainstream popular but who cares as long as you jammed her songs in the 90’s along with Veruca Salt, Magnapop, Whale, check out Whale’s song “hobo humpin slobo babe” 90’s to a T lol
I haven't heard this song in over 25 years, then today, out of nowhere, the melody popped in my head. Slowly through out the day the rhythm of the lyrics turned into the wrong lyrics and screaming "Everything's fine!!" Five hours of me screaming "Everything's fine" randomly while working with my bf landscaping, he was fed up with me and told me to find the song so he could listen to it instead of me, or shut the hell up before i made his anxiety worse! I don't know what caused me to have this ear-worm out of nowhere, but im glad i did! I'd not only forgotten great it was, but that it even existed!
They still rock. I remember too many people being derogatory and calling this angry chick music while it was new. I was a kid hearing that and it stuck with me to this day. People will always find a way to dismiss women making music with any kind of emotion.
@@Aster_Riskit WAS angry chick music!!! And as a dude I fuckin LOVED it!!! Not sure how old I was when this came out, I was 15 in '90, but all the strong women artists were rockin back then. Granted I leaned to the harder music variety.
1996? I was only 12 listening to this on my local rock station (when the station actually played really good stuff all the time) and got my cassette tape to record my favorite songs on the radio! I miss 90s alt rock.
How can this be 23 years ago? I was 25 and loved listening to this while driving....and I listened to it on CASSETTE!! Now I will be 49 in a few weeks. Shoot me, please.
I just heard this on the radio while driving today and I turned it way up and probably scared some people at red lights singing along. Haven’t heard it years and it felt like it was only a day or two
Mother mother how's the family? I'm just calling to say hello How's the weather? How's my father? Am I lonely? Heavens no Mother mother are ya listening? Just a phone call to ease your mind Life is perfect never better Distance making the heart grow fond When you sent me off to see the world Were you scared that I might get hurt? Would I try a little tobacco Would I keep on hiking up my skirt? I'm hungry I'm dirty I'm losing my mind Everything's fine! I'm freezing I'm Starving I'm bleeding to death Everything's fine! Yeah I'm working making money I'm just starting to build a name I can feel it around the corner I could make it any day Mother mother can you hear me Sure I'm sober sure I'm sane Life is perfect never better Still your daughter still the same If I tell you what you want to hear Will it help you to sleep well at night? Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear Now just cuddle up and sleep tight I'm hungry I'm dirty I'm losing my mind Everything's fine! I'm freezing I'm starving I'm bleeding to death Everything's fine! I miss you I love you ❤️
Yellowjackets brought me back here. I remember jamming out to this song SO HARD back in the 90s. Whoever had the idea to put it on that show and whoever cleared the usage of it thank you so much for reminding me of such a legendary track.
@Mark Astoforoff; It was the last great decade of truly good & fantastic music!! But the 90's were ultra-great because Alternative music, both the mellow & the more hard rocking versions, got unified together into specialized TV & radio airplay forums. It was precisely because of programs like "120 Minutes" & "Alternative-Nation" that this silvery-amazing genre of music became so grand! There needs to be specialized airplay on distinct stations & shows, that focus just on the genre & type of music at hand. Alternative should NOT have had to share its space with any other kind of music. The glorious era of Alternative died a swift death, once the idiot powers-that-be in the music industry decided to kill such specialized forums, and moved to mix-up & muddle-up every other music genre that there was, throwing it all together into one gigantic, messy, sloppy, flavor-destroying shlop of a music soup/playlist, which was awful, & pleased no one. As a horrible by-product of all that, was a hip-hop/rap takeover of the entire music world, a stranglehold upon it that it has never been abated from. Alternative, both the rock & the mellower variation of it, should be a unified ticket in its broadcasting, in my opinion. But even if you sub-divided it into hard-rock Alternative & mellow Alternative, the one thing that is absolutely needed for the success of the genre is that it gets a separate TV show or radio station or other forum devoted exclusively to it. It should NOT have to share its space NOR its airtime with hip hop/rap! If that happens, then the whole Alternative music genre dies, because of being stifled, getting no airplay, & being made scarce, since it can't stand out & be heard. If it has to compete & clash with the other completely different genre or with different genres. Sure, such 'all-things-to-all-people' stations/programs can exist, but things work out much better if they're separate. After all, Country usually gets separate airplay & distinct formats, and hence it gets to prosper, reaching its fans without interruption!
I was 20 years old when I first heard this song on the radio. It was on a Valentine's day and I was on my way to my boyfriend's place at the time. When I got to my boyfriend's house, I couldn't stop talking about this song. She was playing at a local club but we couldn't make it. Later, in the summer, she was playing at another club and I made sure to get tickets in advance. I'll be 47 next month and I've been losing things here and there. This morning I thought, "I'm losing my mind." then automatically came Tracy Bonham's angry shouting "EVERYTHING'S FINE!" Haha. Brought back so many memories. I feel like no time has passed yet that was about 27 years ago!
Holy shit this song brought me back to getting married and moving out of state 6 months pregnant with my son and having this song in my head after I called my mother. She only ever wanted to hear good things from me. So I'd scream "Everything's Fine" after I hung up.
My mom used to play this cd in the car when I was little and she'd yell out the chorus and I'd crack up because I thought it was hilarious. She'd also play The Rose by Bette Midler too.
I remember this song from back in the day and honestly relate to it now more than ever. 37 years old, no kids just floating along a little lost. And if my mom only knew the shenanigans I get into lol 😆
Omg.... I recently heard this in the showtime series "yellow jackets" ! I was instantly transported back to 1994 🤣 when I was a senior in high school. The song truly stands the test of time 🥰
I RE-discovered this song in a cRaZy way. Earlier this year, I bought a used 8th Edition of Joel Whitman's "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits, 1955-2003." This Sunday morning, I was listening to a re-broadcast of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on WGRR 103.5 in CINCINNATI. I ended up looking for the Bee Gees' "Love So Right" 1976 rank, p54, and this song, "Mother Mother," caught my eye as I was thumbing through the pages, p73. Then I came here. I love this blessed world! I forgot how awesome this song is. Man, I think I haven't heard this since it was on the charts, on the radio, back in 1996.
Great song. Love how the verse progression is tied together in the "everything's fine" part. Great to find out that Tracy is the sole songwriter. Nicely done! I recently listened to Sheryl Crow and there's like 5 other songwriters on her stuff. Respect to Tracy.
To be fair to Crow, her writing partners on the debut derived from The Tuesday Night Music Club jam sessions with the members of then defunct David + David. Her second album was produced solely by Crow and written mostly by her. Most of Crow's subsequent albums were almost entirely written by her.
In 96, I was recently single living my mid life adolescence. I had a room mate who did sound at the local rock Venue (a converted movie theatre). We regularly had bands stay over in their sleeping bags. One morning I woke up and Tracy Bonhamand band were sleeping in our living room. I would have loved to stay and talk with them, but I had to leave to go to work. Came home and they were gone to the next gig.
I had regrettably forgotten about this amazing song until the episode of Yellowjackets which had it right before the title card of the episode. Thank you Yellowjackets and thank you Tracy Bonham.
My mom showed me this song when I was a kid, and now that I’m an adult and recently moved out, I suddenly relate to it so much. I never want her to worry about me so I always try to sound like I have my shit together when I’m actually going through hell. I love my mom and this song so much.
I saw Tracy Bonham in Pittsburgh in the late 90s when she opened for spacehog. I remember thinking that she was so cool and different. Then years later I saw her with blue man group. She should have been bigger as a solo artist . she certainly had the talent. Wonder what happened?
True story: I heard this song once on the radio in 1996 and dreamt it that same night note for note, word for word. My brain had obviously sucked it in immediately, never again have I experienced such perfect audiographic echoic memory as I have done with Mother Mother.
I remember when my best friend and I moved to Seattle at 18, right on the heels of dropping out of high school, we’d drive around in her janky ass station wagon in 1997 screaming along to this song. I’d want to play it over the phone when my mother called to check on me, but my parents were too poor to afford many long distance calls, so it felt too mean. God I love this song!
Wow!!! So many memories... I really miss the 90's... I can't believe this song is 20 years old....where the hell did the time go? on my period crying Friend: are you- Me: "EVERY THINGS FINEEEE"
She is a beautiful person if you ever get the pleasure of meeting her. She's tiny but has a huge heart and when she sings live she pushes right to her edge, but doesn't scream "Everything's Fine" anymore.
I heard this today on Q101 on mothers day!! And it had dawned on me that I Have never seen the video!!! I use to love this song!! Haven't heard it probably in 15 plus years!!
Mourning my mother. She passed a year a half ago. We had a very complicated relationship. Just Volatile. It just doesn't matter the nature of the relationship losing a parent is hard. I thought of this song. Sweeping out the nooks and crannies of my grief on my walk among the trees this morning, I listened on repeat. I found it oddly comforting. "I miss you. I Love you".
This song will be an A+ FOREVVVEERRRRR. So unique and strong and catchy and meaningful. An argument can easily be made that it’s Top 5 of the 90s. And that’s saying something.
I pulled this cassette out of storage and played it and I got teary-eyed. I Google the lyrics and I was able to actually find this video which plays all of the lyrics thank you
I remember hearing this on the radio a long time ago and then never hearing it again, almost ten years later I finally decided to look it up and I was very happy to finally find the song!!!
Interesting...all of the sudden started feeling really connected again to Tracy Bonham's music in late 2017...listening to Mother Mother, Navy Bean and The One....then I look her up and see that she's redoing this album right now...shouting at her past self. Universe is strangely cosmic. Love you, Tracy...thank you for the 90's and for bringing your music back to a very relevant time. We need you!
Thank God for RUclips because I never would've heard this song again without it. Heard it on the radio during a weird time of my life (over and over again) but I was only 12 and didn't pay attention so I never knew what it was called. Sent chills down my spine to hear it again after so long.
I woke up with this song playing in my head, this morning. The first time I'd thought about it in decades and wanted to know who it was, what it was called, etc. Finally, I can hear it again for the first time in almost 30 years. Awesome! It's exactly as I'd remembered it, though actually hearing it again is almost magical. Thank you, Tracy!
This is awesome! This is going to force me to really get super comfortable with bar chords. I can do them but for almost a whole song?....Love it!!!! Hand cramp...hand cramp....LOL!
In my teenaged years, i thought this was just a teenage female anthem. As an adult... i realized that it’s just universal for a mother daughter bond overtime lol
This used to be MY SHIT back in the day... especially when I was mad at my Mom... Now, I love her more than anything. And everyday, I try to keep her with me everyday. Thanks for the reminder, #Yellowjackets.
Her screaming "Everything's FINE!" has lived rent free in my head for 20 years.

This is why the 90's were so freaking awesome... Damn the girls rocked it so hard.
l7 rocked harderer
90s were the shit !!!! Best ever
They still rock. I remember too many people being derogatory and calling this angry chick music while it was new. I was a kid hearing that and it stuck with me to this day. People will always find a way to dismiss women making music with any kind of emotion.

Unfortunately life pass through our eyes in a blink...
I just heard this on the radio while driving today and I turned it way up and probably scared some people at red lights singing along. Haven’t heard it years and it felt like it was only a day or two
I remember being a 21-year-old college student and hearing this song. I had no idea who sang it - until today.
Happy 50th! I am close behind. This song is STILL relevant. Talked to my mom today! LOL
I was just reminded of this song after finding it on a mixtape from 1997. Shoot me also pls.
I can't believe this song is 20 years old....where the hell did the time go?
Yeah no kidding hard to believe isn't I remember when the album came out it is a great album too.
I thought more like 22 years ago. Kennedy used to introduce it on MTV.
Welp, jeepers, right at the end of the video it says "1996," so... ya don't really have to guess.

Just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect never better
Distance making the heart grow fond
When you sent me off to see the world
Were you scared that I might get hurt?
Would I try a little tobacco
Would I keep on hiking up my skirt?
I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine!
I'm freezing
I'm Starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine!
Yeah I'm working making money
I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it around the corner
I could make it any day
Mother mother can you hear me
Sure I'm sober sure I'm sane
Life is perfect never better
Still your daughter still the same
If I tell you what you want to hear
Will it help you to sleep well at night?
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear
Now just cuddle up and sleep tight
I'm hungry

Great song. I'm losing my mind, everything's fiiiiiinnnee
I had regrettably forgotten about this amazing song until the episode of Yellowjackets which had it right before the title card of the episode. Thank you Yellowjackets and thank you Tracy Bonham.
My mom showed me this song when I was a kid, and now that I’m an adult and recently moved out, I suddenly relate to it so much. I never want her to worry about me so I always try to sound like I have my shit together when I’m actually going through hell. I love my mom and this song so much.
Crying. This was my theme song when I moved out at 18.
Thank you yellojackets for reminding me of this song!!!
I saw Tracy Bonham in Pittsburgh in the late 90s when she opened for spacehog. I remember thinking that she was so cool and different. Then years later I saw her with blue man group. She should have been bigger as a solo artist . she certainly had the talent. Wonder what happened?
True story: I heard this song once on the radio in 1996 and dreamt it that same night note for note, word for word. My brain had obviously sucked it in immediately, never again have I experienced such perfect audiographic echoic memory as I have done with Mother Mother.
I remember when my best friend and I moved to Seattle at 18, right on the heels of dropping out of high school, we’d drive around in her janky ass station wagon in 1997 screaming along to this song. I’d want to play it over the phone when my mother called to check on me, but my parents were too poor to afford many long distance calls, so it felt too mean. God I love this song!
I hope somewhere out there, a bomb a$$ singer and metal band is shredding tf out of this cut
Looking for nice mother's day songs to play, and here's a suggestion from my algorithm. WOWMOMWOW
90's: This and is an incredible album
2022: It still is
I was blessed to hear this masterpiece when I was 6. Still know all the words😅 Thank you for this gem💜😎
Wow!!! So many memories... I really miss the 90's...
I can't believe this song is 20 years old....where the hell did the time go?
on my period crying Friend: are you- Me: "EVERY THINGS FINEEEE"
She is a beautiful person if you ever get the pleasure of meeting her. She's tiny but has a huge heart and when she sings live she pushes right to her edge, but doesn't scream "Everything's Fine" anymore.
One of the best of the 90s.
Welcome to Adult Life MFer!🎉
Everything's Fine!
I heard this today on Q101 on mothers day!! And it had dawned on me that I Have never seen the video!!! I use to love this song!! Haven't heard it probably in 15 plus years!!
Mourning my mother. She passed a year a half ago. We had a very complicated relationship. Just Volatile. It just doesn't matter the nature of the relationship losing a parent is hard. I thought of this song. Sweeping out the nooks and crannies of my grief on my walk among the trees this morning, I listened on repeat. I found it oddly comforting. "I miss you. I Love you".
Heard this song on yellowjackets fell in love the second I heard her yell everything’s fine!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I use this song as my mother’s ringtone 😅
Dang I love ❤️ listening to her Tracy Bonham rocked in.1996 to bad she wasn't noticed more
EVERYTHING'S FIIIIINE
*divebombs into quicksand*

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
I just rediscovered this 90 classics today and I opened a great smile when I listened to it!!! OMG this song is insane!!!
I just heard this on the radio today. Pulled into the office parking lot screaming "everything's fine!" XD
Yes 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼
Just to hear the scream . Love it . Should have been more longer
THIS is one of my FAV joints from the 90's!!! THIS IS FOREVER DOPE!!!!
Haven't we all felt this way some time...yet, she was the one to yell for us!❤
This is a blast from the past. Man I have been searching for this song for YEARS!
LOVE IT !!!!
In 2005, Tracy played in Burlington, Vt. It was a great show. I still owe her a wiffleball game. lol. Hope she's living well!
Wow!!! So many memories... I really miss the 90's...
You're not the only one...

It's been years. I heard it on Ticktock. Unlocked memories
This song will be an A+ FOREVVVEERRRRR.
So unique and strong and catchy and meaningful.
An argument can easily be made that it’s Top 5 of the 90s. And that’s saying something.
I love the frustrated, explosive emotion of this song.
I pulled this cassette out of storage and played it and I got teary-eyed. I Google the lyrics and I was able to actually find this video which plays all of the lyrics thank you
I love her scream! This song has the perfect mix of tough and tender. ❤️
Thank you Yellow jackets for remembering this song. Check it out on Showtime if you graduated in the 90's! Brings back memories.
I remember hearing this on the radio a long time ago and then never hearing it again, almost ten years later I finally decided to look it up and I was very happy to finally find the song!!!
One of my favorites Tracy. And I lived in the world of Zep, Sabbath, Maiden, ...your song. Awesome!!
Always connected her with John Bonham when I first heard this song and her name.
Episode 2, Yellow Jackets 2024. Thank you for remind me my wildest years of rock 🎉
Tracy. Re-release this pls it’s amazing. Loved it for years and it still resonates
Interesting...all of the sudden started feeling really connected again to Tracy Bonham's music in late 2017...listening to Mother Mother, Navy Bean and The One....then I look her up and see that she's redoing this album right now...shouting at her past self. Universe is strangely cosmic. Love you, Tracy...thank you for the 90's and for bringing your music back to a very relevant time. We need you!
heard this song for the first time yesterday and Idk how I've gone so long without hearing such dopeness.... EVERYYYYYYYTHINGS FINE
Billy Milbrand ^^
Thank God for RUclips because I never would've heard this song again without it. Heard it on the radio during a weird time of my life (over and over again) but I was only 12 and didn't pay attention so I never knew what it was called. Sent chills down my spine to hear it again after so long.
Spotify?
Right! I loved this song when it came out
I woke up with this song playing in my head, this morning. The first time I'd thought about it in decades and wanted to know who it was, what it was called, etc.
Finally, I can hear it again for the first time in almost 30 years. Awesome! It's exactly as I'd remembered it, though actually hearing it again is almost magical.
Thank you, Tracy!
The soundtrack to being a human.
Someone who should have been way more famous
I haven't heard this since I was a kid.
My dad was in his 50s in the 90s, he LOVED this song and used to crack up screaming the chorus. I had forgotten about it for so long until recently.
I like how this video had a $5 budget. Well played, Island Records.
Only a few seconds in Yellojackets, I knew this great song/artist from the 90s, but it was sooo good to hear it again in a serie
This is awesome! This is going to force me to really get super comfortable with bar chords. I can do them but for almost a whole song?....Love it!!!! Hand cramp...hand cramp....LOL!
The first CD album I ever got; probably 1995. My favorite rock-along when I'm pissed off... and a karaoke winner.
In my teenaged years, i thought this was just a teenage female anthem. As an adult... i realized that it’s just universal for a mother daughter bond overtime lol
Yep this time 10 years later still, EVERYTHINGS FINEEEE!!!!
This used to be MY SHIT back in the day... especially when I was mad at my Mom... Now, I love her more than anything. And everyday, I try to keep her with me everyday. Thanks for the reminder, #Yellowjackets.
wow great video. She can rock the guitar, the violin, the vocals and still has fun with it. =)
Tracy is my spirit animal. I've loved her since I was 13. I'm 34. Tracy kicks ass
