"My Father, My King" is a song by Mogwai, which was recorded and released as a single in 2001.
It is 20 minutes and 12 seconds long, and completely instrumental. It uses the melody from Avinu Malkeinu, a prayer from the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Apparently, the inspiration for this came from producer Arthur Baker. Steve Albini produced the song.
