Sometimes the spiritual side of Mike just comes through ….. this song, to me at least, represents the heart of God, calling those who are lost, or in need, in fact, us all - to come to Him.

A Special man living in a special era. The sound of a generation that will live forever in our hearts. R.I.P. Terry Hall.

RIP Terry! Met you once when I was a kid and was at The Specials concert in Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. Got crushed at the front of the crowd and was pushed up onto the stage after the gig. Terry was in the wings and asked me if I was ok? As a 12 year old kid I was in awe of meeting my music hero! Never, ever forget that moment! Thanks for the music Terry!……You were the soundtrack to my youth! RIP mate! ❤

I still have their first album as an original on vinyl. At the time, as a poor, working class school boy, I thought their music was just relevant to me. Now with the advent of KZfaq I can see it affected many people. The Specials were "Special". They were/are the only group that talk about every day problems affecting people, especially the youth: loneliness, apathy, meaning of life, boredom, the rat race, racism, urban decline, etc. What no one mentions is the genius of Jerry Dammers. I was gutted when they broke up. I was initially very excited when they reformed but then realised that maybe they were trying to recreate the past but then 40+ years later, it was too late. In addition without Dammers, it didn't feel right. The group abruptly disbanded after he spent a year composing Ghost Town, their biggest track to date. I greatly respected the fact that he did not join out of principle. He could have done so, earned good money, etc but he did not forget what happened and out of principle as he probably felt he was wronged he did not rejoin. Lynval Golding actually states that it was only after he and the other two left that they realised how much of a genius Jerry Dammers was! He was/is the genius behind The Specials. He was the creative influence behind the music, the composition, the lyrics and song writing. He is an out and out legend! This again is such a great track that I can identify with along with so many others: Do Nothing, Rat Race, Nite Klub, to name a few. RIP Terry Hall and John Bradbury.

I first heard this on the Disky album Ska is the Limit, way back in 2007. I was eight and I was instantly hooked. I thought he was saying "picnic" because I grew up in the provinces and never got to hear the rich vocabulary of Jamaican Patois.

Big Tune, and true!!

Terry Hall comes from Coventry but he has an odd accent. It doesn't sound like a Midlands accent. It's an accent that seems unplaceable. Saw him once in Camden Town market.
