| A-Ha – Out Of Blue Comes Green Lyrics | 3 hours ago |
| A-ha have been my favourite band since 1986, every song of theirs (except the early Mags-written efforts!) I have loved but I have cherished this song above all others. I just happened to be listening to it on my Walkman on my way home from work in July 1988. We had just moved as a family to our long-term (to be 45 years) home and the lyrics just chimed with the sense of being proud to have parents who only ever wanted the best for us, they were so selfless. Now, as I still mourn their passing, this song seems even more apt. At the time, it didn't seem to be about loss but just the impetus that parental love and encouragement provides. Today, for me, that same song is about loss but also that same pride and sense of fortune at being "born into such hands". I am grateful to my parents and for this song. It makes this more than just a memory... | |
