Songs about moms (and by moms and for moms)

For many of us, our mothers are among the most important, most loving, and perhaps most complicated, people in our lives. And not coincidentally, mothers have been consistently referenced throughout history in most every art form - including music. So with Mother's Day looming, the hosts of "How We Heard It" have chosen to highlight mothers in music. Songs about mothers range from the nostalgic and sweet to the melodramatic and heartfelt. Others are humorous or weird, and still others throw focus on bad moms - because they're out there too. But your hosts don't stop there. They also bring personal stories about mothers to the table, and they talk about how having children can redirect an artist's career, from their vision to their output. Also, the episode explores how some of the most popular women singers in modern music reacted when their own daughters became performers, and the hosts also hazard a guess at what kind of mothers some popular young singers would make if they become moms - including the most popular singer so far this century, who has indicated her intentions to do just that. What's your mother of all songs about motherhood?
