  1. The evening’s “live” selection on deck; I love the reaction of the crowd. Audiences overseas just seem to be more into good tuneage and they have this one down.

    Someone write me a letter
    I need to know that I'm still alive
    Someone give me a telephone call
    I need to hear a human sound
    Someone open up a door
    And let me out of this place
    I've been caged up for, oh, so long
    I don't know if I'm living or dying

  7. Thanks for the reminder of how powerful The Alarm’s cover of “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” was. Instant throwback to my junior year of college — pure holiday nostalgia. 🎶✨ #TheAlarm #HappyXmasWarIsOver #HolidayMusic

  8. "A new south Wales" - The Alarm featuring the Morriston Orpheus Male Voice Choir

    Mike laments the demise of coal mines in south Wales.

    'Should have been the Alarm's "Bohemian rhapsody" but unfortunately it will probably be remembered as their "Birdie song",' opined Record Mirror.

    The Alarm use emotive language and imagery, waxing nostalgic about the coal industry. Perhaps they're not considering how society don't want to be burning coal for longer than we must. [1/2]

  9. The Alarm, Change, 1989 on I.R.S. Records

    We recently lost Mike Peters of The Alarm, after a 30 year battle with cancer. He also had a lengthy solo career following the band’s breakup in the early 90s, and founded the Love Hope Strength Foundation.

    This album was their penultimate with the original lineup, and has NID YN CYMRU AR WERTH carved into the runout (“Wales is not for sale”). They also released simultaneously a version in Welsh called Newid.

    My copy—via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA—is a US pressing from 1989. The cover is die cut (ALARM on the front, CHANGE on the back) such that the inner lyrics sheet (which wraps around the printer inner) shows through.

  10. AeschTunes Top 40 chart record:

    The Alarm holds the record for having the most songs on the chart at one time (4):

    "Be Still," "Close," "45 RPM," and "The Innocent Party."

    The band had these four songs on the chart at the same time between April 15 and May 13, 2003.

  11. #JukeboxFridayNight marks #MayDay, in part about workers' rights.

    "A new south Wales" - The Alarm

    Mike Peters laments the demise of the coal mines in south Wales. The sound is a simple piano-and-vocal, and the song deliberately taps into the tradition of male voice choirs from south Wales with a gorgeous finish.

    Recorded in 1989, a final hurrah for the coal industry. In part a tribute for Mike, who died this week.
