Music To Give Mom

Happy Mother's Day: What can be better than giving a Mother's Day gift that helps embattled mothers and their children globally? Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe have teamed with 17-year-old songwriter Rachel Eskenazi-Gold for to record "Save an Angel" - with proceeds going to charities, such as UNICEP, mothers2mothers, and Human Rights Watch via Zimmer's Remote Control Charitable Foundation. Zimmer first heard Rachel's song when he lent his studio for a community service project. The song is available for download via iTunes. Christine Lahti, Juliana Margulies, Julianne Moore and Brook Smith, among others, have recorded PSAs in support of the project.

For Our Service Women: Rockers Drowning Pool have joined with the Wounded Warrior Project to raise awareness for injured service members. The band is offering a free download of their song "Feel Like I Do" of their self-titled new album at www.woundedwarriorproject.org and via Facebook. Drowning Pool's Mike Luce says he is in 'awe' of the strength and courage our service people. "We wanted to thank our troops for all they do for us."

Download Sunshine: Hard to believe it was 25 years ago that Katrina and the Waves made us dance "Walking on Sunshine." All moms remember this upbeat ditty. Katrina Leskanich truly believes in the healing power of music and says the song played a major role in getting her through a very difficult period in her life when she lost her mother to cancer, her twin sister and a cousin in a short span. "Walking on Sunshine" continues to charm new generations, having appeared in a number of TV shows and movies, most recently an episode of "Glee."
