Alive and Kicking


Track of the week 6/3/16

Mother’s Day and it was apt that this popped up in my youTube stream.

Although, I believe, meant as a love song, I always think of my Mum when I hear this – who was going to make things right when they went wrong, who would lift you to the top so you could see, and, should it all fall through, who’d take you home? Mum.

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who’s gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking

One of my all time favourite songs, and all the more so now as it reminds of my Mum, what a great lady she was, and right that we (I) remember her with such a positive, powerful and uplifting song, as that is how  I remember her.
