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.

#TheAlarmSomeone 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 -

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

"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]

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.

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.

#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.

"Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude, religious, in his worn down cowboy boots
He walked liked no man on earth
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no nameCome on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down and make the stand.As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met Doctor Strangelove's cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying Shall I play the funeral march" (play the march)
"Play the funeral march"Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down and we'll make the stand.Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, we'll make the stand.When I looked out the window
On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence With hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross,
It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)
It had no epitaph engraved.Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on and make the standCome on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, and we'll make the stand."- #TheAlarm, 1981

Strength
"Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strength
Give me someone to live forWho will light the fire that I need to survive
Who will be the life blood coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing that will never change
I need someone I can depend onI’m a man of emotion who can’t hide the tears
I’m a man of feeling who can’t hide the pain
I’m alone on the outskirts of town where no one knows my name
I’m at the point in my life where I need affectionGive me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live forSomeone 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 dyingGive me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live forI walk alone, across the outskirts of town
I can’t control what I’m going through now
Will you light the fire that I need to survive
Will you donate the life blood coursing through my veins
Will you open up the 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 dyingGive me love
Give me hope
Give me STRENGTH
Give me someone to live for"

Rock Legend Vows to Beat Cancer with Positivity and Miracle NHS Treatment

We saw their first big hit last week, "Rain in the summertime" will be The Alarm's last big smash.
Their leather jackets have lost fringes, and the hair is a bit higher on the head, but they've lost little of the energy.
Spot the plasma ball on stage - these were the must-have cool toys of 1987, like a lava lamp or singing salmon.

The Alarm bring their fringed jackets and bags of energy. This is what the kids want!
