Genesis - Mama


You will not forget it's Mother's Day today?, especially if you live in Sweden.

Important to remember! We do not forget it anyway, a tune for Mama on the Tune Of The Day is today's choice.

A band that we know most mothers love and a song we think works well for this day.



Genesis are an English rock band that formed in 1967. The band currently comprises the longest-tenured members Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks. Past members Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett also played major roles in the band in its early years. Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide.


Todays tune "Mama" was the first single from Genesis' 1983 self-titled album (often referred to as the "shapes album" or simply The Mama Album, after the first track). Instantly recognizable from its harsh drum machine introduction composed by Mike Rutherford, which leads into minimalist synthesizer lines in minor keys and finally Phil Collins' reverb-laden voice, "Mama" serves notice that the album which follows will be considerably darker than previous efforts.



The track also has a powerful final verse punctuated with a live drum kit (modified with the trademark "gated reverb" effect), comparable to Collins' earlier solo recording "In the Air Tonight”. The song has resurfaced in 2007 as part of the Turn It On Again tour, albeit transposed down a tone to account for the deepening of Phil Collins' voice as he grew older.

This is for you Mama!

Boyz II Men - A Song For Mama



Yesterday it was Mothers Day in the country my oldest daughter live in.
So I got phone calls and a video from her via Facebook....



This song is not my normal tune that I listen to, but its fantastic and
Gosh It just freaked me out in a good way..
Sitting there tears rolling down, and Wow what can I say.
My doughter or let me refrase it, my Children are the most fantastic kids in the world!

So today I want to give this to every Mama on our planet to tell you what a
important and lovely task you have gotten through giving birth to a child.

Love it, show them right from wrong, be their friend, their guidance in a trouble world.
Youre the most important woman among your kids, you know.



This is preformed by a group I heard in the 90´s Boyz II Men.
The group, known originally as Unique Attraction, was founded during 1988 at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, friends Nathan Morris and Marc Nelson organized several R&B singing groups, most of which ended quickly. Eventually, they found a winning formula by recruiting tenors Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman and bass Michael McCary.
The group would rehearse in the high school's bathrooms, due to the excellent acoustics. They found inspiration in New Edition's harmonies and routines, and eventually renamed the group "Boyz II Men", after one of New Edition's songs.

They done 9 studio albums and a bunch of compilations and 3 dvd´s.
They are definitely the best group in emotional songs...



Ah well To U All Mothers!!!

Love, Thetania
