TASKS

1. Mama Tried by Merle Haggard
"Mama Tried" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard and The Strangers. It was released in July 1968. In "Mama Tried", Haggard focuses on the pain and suffering he caused his own mother by being incarcerated in 1957 in San Quentin.
💞 Read a book where a character is incarcerated or published in July of any year or a book set in California.

2. The Man That Turned My Mama On by Tanya Tucker
"The Man That Turned My Mama On" is a 1974 country song written by Ed Bruce and famously recorded by Tanya Tucker. The song tells the story of a charismatic traveling salesman who came to town in a "rusty old '49 Ford" selling ladies' shoes and greeting cards.
💞 Read a book that is set in the country or with an author called Ed, Bruce or Tanya or with a character who travels a lot for work.

3. Mama by Genesis
Released in 1983 as the lead single from their self-titled album, "Mama" is one of Genesis’s darkest and most recognizable hits. It is famous for Phil Collins’s menacing laugh and the heavy, industrial-style drum machine beat. Despite the title, the song is not about a mother in the traditional sense. Phil Collins has explained that it's about a young man’s obsessive attraction to a prostitute. He feels a desperate, almost maternal need for her, but she does not share his feelings, leading to the song's sinister and pleading tone.
💞 Read a book with a character called Phil or Collin or where a character is obsessed with something or someone or a book with a prostitute as a character.

4. Mother by Pink Floyd
"Mother" is a centerpiece of Pink Floyd’s 1979 concept album The Wall, serving as a pivotal moment in the psychological breakdown of the protagonist, Pink. The song explores the suffocating nature of overprotective parenting. "Mother" builds a wall around Pink to "protect" him from the world, but in doing so, she stunts his emotional growth and fuels his paranoia.
💞 Read a book with a character who is protective over someone (Your interpretation) or with a character who is paranoid or with a cover that is pink.

5. Mother by John Lennon
"Mother" is the raw, emotional opening track from John Lennon's 1970 debut solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. Lennon wrote the song after undergoing Primal Therapy with Dr. Arthur Janov. The therapy involved "screaming" to release deep-seated childhood trauma, which heavily influenced the song's intense, shouting finale. The lyrics address the abandonment Lennon felt from both his parents. His father, Alfred, left when John was an infant, and his mother, Julia, was killed in a car accident when he was 17.
💞 Read a book that is 17th in a series or where someone was killed in a car accident or where a character does therapy.

6. Mother by The Police
Mother" is a frantic, experimental track written by guitarist Andy Summers. It is famous for being one of the most polarizing songs in the band’s catalog. While most of the album features Sting’s melodic pop-rock, "Mother" is a jarring, avant-garde piece featuring discordant guitars and a 7/4 time signature.
Hysterical vocals by Andy Summers, who screams lyrics about a suffocating, paranoid relationship with a mother figure.
💞 Read a book set in summer or a character called Andy or a character who is policeman.

7. A Song For Mama by Boyz II Men
A Song for Mama is a soul and R&B classic that celebrates a mother’s role as the "queen of my heart" and the glue that holds the family together. The song served as the theme for the film Soul Food and is considered one of the most iconic musical tributes to mothers.

8. Dear Mama by 2Pac
"Dear Mama" by 2Pac is widely celebrated for its raw vulnerability and soulful sound. Unlike many tribute songs, Tupac doesn't shy away from the hard parts of their relationship. He famously raps, "And even as a crack fiend, mama / You always was a black queen, mama," humanizing her struggle with addiction while still honoring her strength as a single mother
💞 Read a book where the MC is a single mother or that is second in a series or who has an addiction.

9. The Best Day by Taylor Swift

10. Mother Natures Son by The Beatles

"Mother" is the most famous song by the American heavy metal band Danzig. It is widely considered one of the best heavy metal songs of the era and remains the band's highest-charting single.

12. Mother's Daughter by Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus's most prominent song about her mother is "Mother's Daughter," released in 2019.

The song is told from the perspective of a sheltered young man who finds himself at a "wild" Los Angeles party and is completely overwhelmed by the drug use, drinking, and loud music.

TASKS

1. Mama Tried by Merle Haggard
"Mama Tried" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard and The Strangers. It was released in July 1968. In "Mama Tried", Haggard focuses on the pain and suffering he caused his own mother by being incarcerated in 1957 in San Quentin.
💞 Read a book where a character is incarcerated or published in July of any year or a book set in California.

2. The Man That Turned My Mama On by Tanya Tucker
"The Man That Turned My Mama On" is a 1974 country song written by Ed Bruce and famously recorded by Tanya Tucker. The song tells the story of a charismatic traveling salesman who came to town in a "rusty old '49 Ford" selling ladies' shoes and greeting cards.
💞 Read a book that is set in the country or with an author called Ed, Bruce or Tanya or with a character who travels a lot for work.

3. Mama by Genesis
Released in 1983 as the lead single from their self-titled album, "Mama" is one of Genesis’s darkest and most recognizable hits. It is famous for Phil Collins’s menacing laugh and the heavy, industrial-style drum machine beat. Despite the title, the song is not about a mother in the traditional sense. Phil Collins has explained that it's about a young man’s obsessive attraction to a prostitute. He feels a desperate, almost maternal need for her, but she does not share his feelings, leading to the song's sinister and pleading tone.
💞 Read a book with a character called Phil or Collin or where a character is obsessed with something or someone or a book with a prostitute as a character.

4. Mother by Pink Floyd
"Mother" is a centerpiece of Pink Floyd’s 1979 concept album The Wall, serving as a pivotal moment in the psychological breakdown of the protagonist, Pink. The song explores the suffocating nature of overprotective parenting. "Mother" builds a wall around Pink to "protect" him from the world, but in doing so, she stunts his emotional growth and fuels his paranoia.
💞 Read a book with a character who is protective over someone (Your interpretation) or with a character who is paranoid or with a cover that is pink.

5. Mother by John Lennon
"Mother" is the raw, emotional opening track from John Lennon's 1970 debut solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. Lennon wrote the song after undergoing Primal Therapy with Dr. Arthur Janov. The therapy involved "screaming" to release deep-seated childhood trauma, which heavily influenced the song's intense, shouting finale. The lyrics address the abandonment Lennon felt from both his parents. His father, Alfred, left when John was an infant, and his mother, Julia, was killed in a car accident when he was 17.
💞 Read a book that is 17th in a series or where someone was killed in a car accident or where a character does therapy.

6. Mother by The Police
Mother" is a frantic, experimental track written by guitarist Andy Summers. It is famous for being one of the most polarizing songs in the band’s catalog. While most of the album features Sting’s melodic pop-rock, "Mother" is a jarring, avant-garde piece featuring discordant guitars and a 7/4 time signature.
Hysterical vocals by Andy Summers, who screams lyrics about a suffocating, paranoid relationship with a mother figure.
