It occurred to me that when I was a kid a 40-year-old movie was black and white and was made during wartime

It's curious to me that Soft Cell rather than OMD headlining the concert in St. Anne's Park. I thought Soft Cell were kinda fringe. I might go as it's a very convenient location for me.

I hated them at the time ( I was 10). Years later in a pub in Dublin, I was talking to some old musos who were shiting on about how great the production was on their records.

Many years even later I understood what they meant.

I think its the reason ABC asked the Horn to produce the lexicon of love.

SHOW SOME CONCERN​

The song credit: Lyrics and Music by Paul Cleary
-----------------------------------------------------
(The singer’s names are inserted next to their lines)
Verse 1
Things don’t change, they're still the same, (Paul Cleary of The Blades)
We are so anxious to parade our shame, (Gay Woods of Auto De Fé)
But that’s just the Western way, what do you say? (Christy Moore)
Faith can’t feed and hope can’t last, (Twink)
With charity spelt G.U.I.L.T, (Ray Lynam)
You could save a life today, (Maxi)
What do you say? (Aileen and Jenny from Toy With Rhythm)
And relentlessly the burning sun is telling you and me. (Red Hurley and Flo McSweeney)
Chorus
It’s not too late to learn, Show some concern,
It’s not too late to learn, Show some concern.
Verse 2
We're so hurt, look at us cry, (Mouse McHugh of Too Much For The Whiteman)
But when our counterfeit tears are dry, (Mary Black)
Africa for holidays. What do you say? (Freddie White)
Now you know there's a living hell, (Leslie Dowdall of In Tua Nua)
Don’t throw your pennies down a wishing well, (Dave King of Fastway and Flogging Molly)
Send your money there today, (Linda Martin)
What do you say? (Aileen and Jenny from Toy With Rhythm)
And relentlessly the burning sun is telling you and me.
(Johnny Duhan and Maura O'Connell)
Chorus
It’s not too late to learn, Show some concern,
It’s not too late to learn, Show some concern.
Saxophone solo by Carl Geraghty
Chorus
It’s not too late to learn, Show some concern,
It’s not too late to learn, Show some concern.

Looked for the Self Aid single "Let's make it work", but unbelievably the video does not seem to be online

Nice hi hat patterns.

I'm sure it's been posted before but it's a good song. It's got that nice 80s lushness going on.

I thought that was a bit weird too, OMD are way better basically and they were still class live when I saw them a few years ago

 

[therealjohnny]

I haven't heard this since it was first a hit


I did not expect them to look like this
