This song has such a deep meaning, only when you go through life, ud understand. I still feel like I’m finding my way. Ppl will let you down when you need them the most. I’m not talking abt material and financial dependency, I’m referring to emotional support. Iv learnt never to count on anyone but yourself. I listen to this song to find the courage to never give up. Life isn’t easy, you have to find that will to never give up despite your situation. Always remember that there’s someone in this world who shares your struggle. We may be continents apart and not know each other but we in this together. I hope you find some comfort in that. Keep the faith 🙏🏼

[@ForTheLoveOfNuggs]

Personally I don't think UB40 is/would be the same without Ali Campbell's unique voice. Only just discovered this song, Mum and dad were massive UB40 fans back in the day and I already love Kingston Town but I'm 2 months away from 30 so I never fully listened to them in my youth. This song is my new obsession and Ali makes it sound amazing!.

[@wotsitjimbob2271]

I cant listen to UB40 without the vocals of Ali. Loved them back in the 80s, saw them in concert in early 90s and met them, still love their music today. Got to be Ali singing for me though x
