Songs About Mothers #mewsicmovesme

Happy Belated Mother's Day to those of you who celebrated yesterday.

Mother's Day UK was back in March so we've already celebrated!

So songs about Mothers is the theme for Mewsic Moves Me today, as chosen by this month's
4M honorary co-hostess Cynthia from Cool4him

ELVIS PRESLEY - Mama Loved The Roses

Elvis lost his beloved mother when he was in his early 20s and just starting out in his career.

NIGHTWISH - Our Decades In The Sun

This emotional track is a tribute to the band's parents. It is indeed very moving.

THE BEATLES - Julia

Like Elvis, John Lennon lost his mother when he was very young. He was just 17 when his mother Julia was tragically killed by a drunk driver.

ABBA - Does Your Mother Know?

A fun song from the Swedish group. Mum was a big ABBA fan when she was little.

OZZY OSBOURNE - Mama, I'm Coming Home

Apparently, this song is not about Ozzy's mother but about his wife Sharon Osbourne.  'Mama, I'm Coming Home' was always something he'd say to her over the phone after he'd finished a tour.

Mewsic Moves Me Monday - Bands Beginning With A

Happy Monday!

Today's Mewsic Monday doesn't have a theme and you can post what you want but we have decided to go with an alphabet theme for our own choices.

Today for us it's the letter A. Mum has picked these fab tunes from her past (mostly from her youthful 80s days).

ABBA -The Eagle

From 1978. This is one of Mum's fave ABBA songs and she was a big fan in the 70s and early 80s.

ADAM AND THE ANTS - Kings of the Wild Frontier

From 1980, the time of the British New Romantic movement. Mum says it was great to be a teenager then because music was so exciting and fresh. She was too young to go the New Romantic clubs though.

A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS - I Ran

From 1982. More strange hair and outfits, but Mum says it was fun!


 

A-HA - The Sun Always Shines on TV

From 1986. Like ABBA, A-HA are a band from Scandinavia, but from Norway, not Sweden.

ABC - The Look of Love

1982. This British band were very popular during the early 80s.

 

THE ANIMALS - House of the Rising Sun

This is from 1964. before Mum was born but she says it's a classic.

 

AUDIOSLAVE - Original Fire

Audioslave consisted of Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) and Rage Against The Machine members

Tom Morello (lead guitar), Tim Commerford (bass/backing vocals), and Brad Wilk (drums). 

AURI - The Space Between

More recent times now (2017)  This is the side project of Nightwish keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen, his wife Johanna Kurkela and Nightwish guitarist and pipe player Troy Donockley.


 

ALICE IN CHAINS - Down In A Hole 

Such a moving song. Reminds Mum so much of the 90s. Not good times she says - struggling even that far back with her mental health - but the music was amazing and so deep and raw.
