From the album "Tommy.
Written by Pete Townshend.
Mother:
You don't answer my call
With even a nod or a wink
But you gaze at your own reflection!
You don't seem to see me
But I think you can see yourself.
How can the mirror affect you?
Can you hear me
Or do I surmise?
That you fear me can you feel my temper
RISE RISE RISE RISE RISE RISE
RISE RISE RISE RISE RISE RISE RISE
Do you hear or fear or
Do I smash the mirror?
Do you hear of fear or
Do I smash the mirror?
SMASH!

I don't remember this from when Tommy was current, but this song is really cool. Everbody talks about the briliance of Townshend as a writer, Entwhistle on the bass, and Moon on the drums, but Daltry had a very versatile, expressive and strong, kick ass rock voice. I read something quite a few years ago about the Who being overated, the brilliance and uniqueness of the four members, and the fact that they were in their prime better live than in studio. Who Numero Uno

@TadRapidly “Smash the Mirror” should have been lengthened, expanded and turned into its own single.
Great music and arrangement, combined with the turning point of the Tommy story. Great stuff, as was so much of that album.

this is the most insane tune. Listen how Townshend creates a down and gritty feel but every guitar is as clean as can be. Listen to the intensity but its all presented totally mellow. Listen to how sparse the guitar parts are. The whole thing is a tour de force. Sick.
