Cover art for Hey Mama Wolf lyrics by Devendra Banhart

I feel this song shows the connection between all things. From nature, woods, mountains, to a lover, to a growing baby in a womb, to swimmin'.

I also feel Mama Wolf is a name for the energy, the glow of life, not only human life, but plants, earth, animals. He knows what to call it now. That unnamed, I'll say glow again with lack of a better noun.
