How Mother Mother made Hayloft - and its unbelievable rise 12 years later | Song Cycle

When Mother Mother released O My Heart in 2008, there’s one song that almost didn’t make it onto the album. It also happened to be the band’s favourite.
The song was “Hayloft,” and at the time, it was considered a bit too strange, a bit too quirky for what was being played on the radio at the time. Twelve years later, it became their biggest hit. This is the story of Hayloft.
Song Cycle looks at how some of the best Canadian songs were made, and the surprising things that happened to them after they were released.

Mother Mother recently announced they'd be including an official sequel to Hayloft, called Hayloft II!, on the deluxe version of their new album, Inside. Thoughts?

[@bex82uk]

Phenomenally deranged. I love it.

[@NatzKulz]

This song was ahead of its time, I'm really glad it's getting the recognition it deserves!

[@replicant101]

Very interesting, love to hear about the production. I've seen Mother Mother in concert twice and they sound even better live, IMO. I highly recommend seeing them if you get a chance.

I’m riffed, this band is better than the Beatles, each song is so individual. They have their unique style yet no two songs the same. If my marriage was like their music I would be a rabbit.

[@Davidthe1ne]

Nah

[@thenavajoknoww]

Rad, I wish there were more videos talking about O My Heart songs

[@AxelaMusicOfficial]

For real.

[@Anna-ko1wg]

I wish that they made a whole series about it,like the series they made for the dance and cry album

[@dirtyraccoon3014]

I found their music because of animation memes and I am so so happy that they’re getting popular, I mean mainly the O My Heart songs, but it’s still so cool!! I’m so happy for them

[@DBayakFlRemake]

Thanks to tik tok, i found this song and i really love it.

[@Anna-ko1wg]

I found this whole band thanks to TikTok :)

[@bootlegpossum8591]

they really said “trust the process”

[@pimp_floyd5024]

I can proudly say I found this song without tiktok.

[@bn444]

The Spotify gods of fate just be bringing me bangers. Although, it's probably because it blew up on TikTok that Spotify started pushing it more.

[@neenabelle1342]

Same!!! Found them back in 2016!!! :3

[@nurazreena]

Anyone know who is the actress for the music video?

[@joshgiesbrecht]

Pretty sure it's all band members. The 2 girls play keys and background/lead singing.

[@nurazreena]

@@joshgiesbrecht I meant the new version of music video
