..All you can offer is love...respect , and be kind to people, and hope that they give it back. They sometimes don’t but they sometimes do. But there’s that sense of hope. What else have we got?

"Our Lips Are Sealed" is a song co-written by #JaneWiedlin, guitarist of #theGoGos, and #TerryHall, singer of #theSpecials and #FunBoyThree. It was first recorded by the Go-Go's as the opening track on their first album, #BeautyAndTheBeat (1981), and was released as their debut single in June 1981.

We start the year with #HopeThe Specials, “We Sell Hope” from “Encore” (2019)
The Specials were the cornerstone of UK second-wave #ska, with mastermind Jerry Dammers founding 2Tone Records.
They came together in the late 70s and splintered in the early 80s, coming back together in a variety of permutations with members of their 2Tone label mates and others, but came closest to a true reunion after reuniting for a 30th Anniversary tour in 2009, with Terry Hall back on vocals, albeit sans Dammers.The Specials always had a social conscience, being vocally anti-racist. My sense was they looked around in the late twenty-teens and saw they were needed, delivering their message via their first studio album of new material in many years (depending on how you define "they"). With Terry’s passing in 2022, it became their last.
The title of this track shows their sardonic wit had not dimmed, underlining the chorus giving a litany of Orwellian doublespeak. The down-stepping melody of the verses feels ominous, but by taking the tone of a warning, suggests hope to me; only where there’s hope would a warning matter, and indeed the verses turn sincere, using decidedly sweet vocals to give prescriptive measures for arresting our slide into dark times.

It is only the second time in my life I have spontaneously shed tears when a celeb has passed. RIP #TerryHall, a truly inspirational and astonishingly talented man. The #Specials, #FunBoy3 and The #Colourfield were a wonderful part of my life.

Just heard the very sad news that Terry Hall of #TheSpecials #FunBoyThree #Colourfield - and a true working class #antiracist hero - has died. Such an amazing singer who sang about real people and real issues with a rare honesty heard in so many of his songs - from pure joy to utter sorrow. A sensitive, shy, talented and unique person
#RIP to a total original. Rest in peace #Rudeboy -

Oh no, I just saw #Terryhall died.
When I first moved to Coventry in the early 90's I stayed in a shared house with his cousin among others. The #Specials still dominated the music scene even then way after their split. Never met Terry, but did some of the others.
Never saw The Specials though listened to them a lot, especially at Uni in the mid 80's. I did see him with the #colourfield once, though he didn't look to be having a fun time then.
Sad loss

December 19th, 2022: So gutted to hear about the death of Terry Hall. He was a special one. He was 63.
Today’s soundtrack: The Specials, Fun Boy Three, and the Colourfield
Today’s quote: “If you were 12 in 1979, the Specials were easy peasy lemon squeezy the greatest band on the planet. If you’re 42 in 2009, nothing has changed.” - Mark Lamarr, 2009
May his memory be a blessing,
