M’s Music – Mr. McGrath
“Mrs. McGrath” (also known as “Mrs. McGraw”, “My Son Ted”, “My Son John”, and “The Sergeant and Mrs. McGrath”) is an Irishfolk song set during the Peninsular War of the early 19th century.
The song tells the story of a woman whose son enters the British Armyand returns seven years later having lost his legs to a cannonball while fighting against Napoleon presumably at the Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro (fought between 3 and 5 May 1811). The general theme of the song is one of opposition to war. Along with “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye”, it is one of the most graphic of all Irish folk songs that deal with sickness and injuries caused by warfare. Irish folk songcollector Colm Ó Lochlainn described “Mrs. Grath” as “known to every true born citizen of Dublin”.
It was very popular among the Irish Volunteers in the years leading up to the 1916 Rising and has been recorded by many singers and folk groups.
Bruce Springsteen recorded a version of the song on his 2006 album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. Performed frequently on the subsequent Sessions Band Tour, this incarnation was included on the 2007 Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band: Live in Dublin audio and video release. Springsteen changed the traditional lyrics slightly. In the original song, Mrs. McGrath would rather have her “son as he used to be than the King of France and his whole navy.” In Springsteen’s version, this is changed to “King of America.”

M’s Music – Eric Clapton
Happy birthday to the world’s greatest guitarist!
What a gift his music has been in my life!
M’s Music – I’ll be seeing you
I’ll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children’s carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishin’ well
I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summer’s day;
In every thing that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
But I’ll be seeing you
M’s Music – U2
U2 delivered one of their most intimate New York appearances ever when they played the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
The show, performed in front of 1,500 invited guests, featured the Sun Ra Arkestra for four songs during an encore. You can see videos and the full set list below.
The 18-song show opened with “I Will Follow” and included the tour debuts of “Out of Control”, “Angel of Harlem”, “When Love Comes to Town”, “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of” and “Every Breaking Wave”. The audience included Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Van Zandt and Harry Belafonte.
Singer Bono dedicated “Stuck in a Moment” to the late chef and writer Anthony Bourdain, calling him “a great storyteller who had stories he couldn’t tell us.” “It’s been a funny, not funny few years,” he said. “We lost a lot of inspiring, useful people. And gained a few useless people. It’s hard to lose a friend, to lose a mate. This band has been through that.” He noted that he’d originally written “Stuck in a Moment” in memory of INXS singer Michael Hutchence, who died in 1997.
After the encore featuring the Sun Ra Arkestra – who’d flown in that morning from Australia, Bono said – U2 returned to their usual lineup to complete the concert with three more songs.
M’s Music – Love is bigger than anything in its way…
The door is open to go through
If I could I would come too
But the path is made by you
As you‘re walking, start singing and stop talking
So young to be the words of your own song
I know the rage in you is strong
Write a world where we can belong
to each other and sing it like no other
If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay
Oh sing your song, let your song be sung
If you listen you can hear the silence say
When you think you’re done, you’ve just begun
Love is bigger than anything in its way…
