Weekend Music Thread (FNM) Mothers Day

last year
last modified: last year

Since Sunday is Mothers' Day, how about songs for or about moms?

Other family members are welcome too.

My mom loved lots of different music. This was one of her favorite songs. I played it for her in her final hours...

      Ok, this isn't exactly about anybody's mother, but, I may as well get my Genesis/Phil song out of the way early this week.

      My mom loved musicals, and both of these come to mind.

      One of my favorites from Nina Hagen


      Mama

      However, the song is more about her father.

      Okay, letters snuck her Genesis song in, so I’ll sneak my Harry song in. This isn’t really about a mother but, my mother and father were two of the kindest people I have ever known.

      The title is "To Daddy" but the song is about Mama.

      Carol, I’m not a big June Carter fan, but I think her version is the most mournful and heartfelt version of the song.

      Lars, I posted “Julia” because John Lennon wrote it about his mother.
