Mother doesn't know where love has gone
she says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
and now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Father made my history
he fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
they taught me what to say in school
I learned it off my heart but now that's torn in two
and now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Sehr schöner YT Kommentar.
Through the Barricades is an extremely underrated track. Songwriter Gary Kemp painted a powerful love story between a Protestant and a Catholic set during The Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 80s. This epic blend of poetry and melody gave us a glimpse of life during the conflict. I cannot imagine the incredible emotional impact this song would have on the people involved in the conflict. Kemp, and the other members of Spandau Ballet for that matter, is not known for their songwriting prowess, but this track easily rivals even the best compositions of the likes of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Jewel.
My favorite line: So come to me when I'm asleep, and we'll cross the line and dance upon the streets
