Musically, "Black Hole Sun" has been described as grunge,[8][9] psychedelic rock,[10] alternative rock,[11] and hard rock.[12] Regarding the song's lyrics, Cornell stated, "It's just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song."[13] He also said that "lyrically it's probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake, of anything I've written. I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you'd begin to take that one literally."[14] In another interview he elaborated further, stating, "It's funny because hits are usually sort of congruent, sort of an identifiable lyric idea, and that song pretty much had none. The chorus lyric is kind of beautiful and easy to remember. Other than that, I sure didn't have an understanding of it after I wrote it. I was just sucked in by the music and I was painting a picture with the lyrics. There was no real idea to get across."[15] Commenting upon how the song was misinterpreted as being positive, Cornell said, "No one seems to get this, but 'Black Hole Sun' is sad. But because the melody is really pretty, everyone thinks it's almost chipper, which is ridiculous."[16] When asked about the line, "Times are gone for honest men", Cornell said:
The surreal and apocalyptic music video for "Black Hole Sun" was directed by British video director Howard Greenhalgh,[32] produced by Megan Hollister for Why Not Films (London, England), shot by Ivan Bartos, and features post-production work by 525 Post Production (Hollywood, California) and Soho 601 Effects (London). The video follows a suburban neighborhood and its vain inhabitants with comically exaggerated grins, which are eventually swallowed up when the Sun suddenly turns into a black hole, while the band performs the song somewhere in an open field. In the video, Cornell can be seen wearing a fork necklace given to him by Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon.[2] In an online chat, the band stated that the video "was entirely the director's idea", and added, "Our take on it was that at that point in making videos, we just wanted to pretend to play and not look that excited about it."[33] They said that the video was one of the few Soundgarden videos the band was satisfied with.[34]

The video was released in June 1994.[35] After several weeks of airplay on MTV, a second version of the video was substituted containing more elaborate visual effects than the original, including the addition of a computer-generated black hole. The music video for "Black Hole Sun" became a hit on MTV and received the award for Best Metal/Hard Rock Video at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.[36] In 1995, it received the Clio Award for Alternative Music Video.[37] The video is available on the CD-ROM Alive in the Superunknown.
A cover version of the song by Swann and Nouela was featured over the closing credits in the neo-noir thriller A Walk Among the Tombstones.[86][87] Another cover in the style of lounge music was performed by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.[88] This cover was also used in the closing credits of the fourth episode of the Disney+ Willow series.
Here come the waterworks (again). Ciara's song for her son, Future, tells the story of a mother's promise to always be there for her child.

If nothing else, check out the music video for some of Ciara's adorable mother-son moments.
Moms who love country music are sure to connect with this Carrie Underwood song. It's a definite tear-jerker, with the lyrics "Never pictured myself singing lullabies / Sitting in a rocking chair in the middle of the night / In the quiet, in the dark / You're stealing every bit of my heart with your daddy's eyes / What a sweet surprise."
Country and rock music fans alike can appreciate Keith Urban's guitar skills. "God's Been Good to Me" is a meaningful mother-son song choice for any groom who's counted on his mom to help him through tough times, with the lyrics "I've been down some darkened detours / Leanin' heavy on my faith / But where the devil had me chained / Lord, youre love done set me free."
This '60s pop song is a no-brainer for any oldies fan. "Days Like This" is one of our favorite suggestions for mother-son dance songs and we love the lyrics: "Oh my mama told me / There'll be days like this." If rock music is more your style, you can dance to the Van Morrison cover of this song instead.
There are two music videos for "Chasing the Sun". The first and official video was directed by Director X. It begins with the Wanted standing on the roof of the Rosslyn Hotel in Los Angeles in the middle of the night. It then begins to intersect with scenes of them in a club with some mysterious women, all of whom have strange sun-shaped tattoos on their hands, arms, thighs or belly. Each of the band meets one of these women and, upon being touched by them, all suddenly have exactly the same tattoo. The band decide to leave the club with their women and start walking down the secluded streets. They soon enter a different club. At the bridge, the boys are back on the roof of the Rosslyn Hotel,[5] but this time at sunrise. The scene then changes back to the second club, where the boys start to get close to their women, but it turns out that the women are actually vampires, and all five boys get their necks bitten. The video ends with the Wanted walking out of the club into the bright sunlight.[6][7] The video has over 120 million views on YouTube.
The song received positive reviews from music critics. Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars writing, "The result may be their darkest club track yet, but it's easily the brightest they've shined since that worldwide smash."[10]
Filmmaker Edgar Wright was born in the English countryside, but his brain is pure Hollywood, so saturated with cinema history that he could pass as a backup to the Internet Movie Database, should some of his movies' comically apocalyptic crises come to pass. Wright has turned that deep movie geekery into a very particular brand of smart, funny, gleefully violent and unexpectedly good-natured films, each a pitch-perfect, multi-hyphenate mashup, including the rom-com-zom(bie) Shaun of the Dead, the village-green-preservation-society-conspiracy-cop-thriller Hot Fuzz and the live-action-video-game-comic-book-adaptation-rom-com Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
But it's based on one of Wright's oldest ideas, one he's been nursing since before he had a credit to his name, before the zombies or the BBC shows, back when Elgort was an actual baby: an action movie meticulously choreographed to match up with a killer soundtrack. "It's like a musical for people who wouldn't go and see musicals," Wright says. "It's literally a dream collision of my two favorite things."
The idea cropped up again seven years later. Wright had agreed to come up with a video treatment for the Manchester, England, electronic group Mint Royale, and the deadline was coming fast. Out of options, he fell back on his old vision. "I was mad at myself because I had squandered this great film concept on a $30,000 music video," he says.
So in 2010, when Wright found himself signing a two-picture deal with only one movie left in the Cornetto Trilogy (2012's again-apocalyptic The World's End ), he saw his chance to explode that original music-action kernel into a fluffy popcorn extravaganza and began the quick and easy seven-year process of bringing it to life.
Tragically though, a prolonged period of time as the most famous man on the planet had taken its toll on Elvis. As his personal life began to crumble around him, his divorce to Priscilla Beaulieu was confirmed in 1973 and his reliance on drug addiction began to take hold. After a number of overdoses ultimately led to Presley being hospitalised and, ultimately, ending up in a coma, it was clear that the path the iconic musician was on was a destructive one.
