The vibrations that emanate from this song lifts me up to God and His divine power. I was 16 when I first heard this song and it gave me so much hope. I first heard "a la la de day" as "I have a lot of days" and the power that that phrase gave me is beyond words... The most beautiful lyrics of hope ever written can be found in this song. I'm in my 40s now and this still moves me to my core. ❤💛❤🧡❤💛❤ Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🦄🤍

    I first the Band play this in 1989 on 31st Dec going into 1990. The concert was broadcast on Radio 1 in the UK. They intertwined it with "Dirty Old Town" which is an old Manchester song. I digress. I write lyrics of songs that are important to me on paper and put them up in my office. I don't read the lyrics off the sleeves, I just do it by listening. This in 1990 was the very first one (from the night before). Took me about 2 days and a lot of paper to get it right.
