Well this song really should have been cited all the way back in week 5 of Covid Island Discs when the theme was crazy tunes, although that theme was tunes of the 1980s and this song came out all the way back in 1977. I am sure it will bring back lots of memories for […]

I like this song and it contains lyrics that are timeless and pretty much apply as much today as when the song was first published in 1970.

I’ll admit that sometimes it feels almost impossible to hold onto this hope but
