The inspiration for this song is found in the memoirs of one of the greatest British actors of all time: David Niven.  David Niven was known for his phlegmatic and elegant demeanor, but in his autobiography, "The Moon's a Balloon," he revealed a different side to his personality. It was this side that caught the attention of Genesis, and inspired their hit song "Mama." The song's haunting lyrics and eerie music video capture the dark and unsettling themes of Niven's memoirs. Join us as we dive into the story behind the creation of "Mama" and explore the connections between Genesis and David Niven.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
