Happy Mother’s Day: We have picked out a few particularly suitable song gems for you to celebrate the day. Enjoy listening!
Our Mother’s Day playlist is aimed at every type of mother. To the single parents, the divorced. To the mothers who have to give birth to their child while fleeing, or in war. To the mothers who (have to) tell their children that they are different from the other kids. To the young mothers without support, family support and without a home. To the mothers who adopted their child and the mothers who lost their child. To the mothers who would give anything for their children and are incredibly strong women. To the mothers who may have been hoping for years for us to get in touch with them again. To those who haven’t been alive for a long time. And to the ones we love unconditionally and to whom we just give Thanks want to say. Here we go.
1. Marvin Gaye – “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
Most mothers would move mountains for their children. This classic by Marvin Gaye from 1967 fits perfectly, with which we can just say “thank you for doing anything for me”.
2. Jessie J – “Queen”
For the moms who taught us what self love is. As Jessie J so beautifully sings here, “I love my body / I love my skin / I’m a goddess / I’m a queen.” And then the lyrics continue, “Stop chasing all the hype girl / Stop trying to change who you are / Save yourself / Before you give yourself away.”
3. RAY BLK – “Mom”
This song and the next are for mothers who have always healed our lovesickness and pain without complaining – or maybe still do.
4. IYAMAH- “A Woman’s Worth”
So really: thanks for that.
5. Jacob Collier – “The Sun Is In Your Eyes”
Jacob Collier is definitely singing a love song here – which can also be addressed to our mothers. The chorus here reads: “And where I go you will lead me in the right direction / With your love as my protection / I will be a world of your projection / And where I go and sing songs of your affection / With rhymes about yours Perfection / In my eyes you see your reflection of yourself.”
6. ABBA – “Dancing Queen”
For the mothers who used to dance to this song – and maybe still do it today, or would do it if they could.
7. Spice Girls – “Mom”
A classic. What else do you have to say? This track should not be missing here.
8. “Flowers” – Miley Cyrus
For the mothers who go their own way and deny it with dignity and strength.
