Minds Music Monday – This Is It

Posted on January 2, 2023October 1, 2023 By Priptona 2 Comments on Minds Music Monday – This Is It

Start the New Year with some motivation. Pull yourselves up by the bootstraps and ‘ger oan wit it!”

Let’s smash it! Bring it on 2023! Show me what you’ve got!

When the feelings come to me once again,
And I still hear the words they’re saying.
And while I’m wondering if I can step in,
I‘ll take comfort in the sounds that’s playing.
‘Cause when I am feeling fine,
Don’t want to walk away,
Don’t want to lose myself,
No matter what I say.
There is a game in town,
This is it!
They call it the new change.

And when the feelings rise,
Pulling me off my knees.
I won’t be scared of it,
‘Cause I cant believe.
There is a game in town, This is it!
They call it the new change.

And when I’m pleading but I can’t get in,
When no one’s listening to a word I am saying,
There is no reason why we can’t begin,
Broken hearts are congregating.

‘Cause when the feeling’s fine,
And the world steps in.
I’ll organise myself,
I’ll get my mind moving.
There is a game in town,
This is it!
They call it the new change.

And when I’m running scared,
And I cant resist,
I’ll organise myself,
With all the chances missed.
There is a game in town,
This is it!
They call it the new change.

And when I’m running scared,
And I cant resist,
I’ll organise myself,
For all the chances missed.
There is a game in town,
This is it!
They call it the new change.

This is it, this is it, they call it the new change.

    I really like the Graffiti Soul LP. I had a long hiatus from simple minds while going deep into what is now called electronic dance music, then ‘discovered’ GS a few years ago – and realised I had a lot of catching up to do! I binge listened a lot of SM since then, still not got round everything they have done.
