Jim Kerr (frontman): “The song is about watching my grandsons grow up. How strength tenderness, courage, and gentleness might still belong together, even when the wider culture around them can send mixed signals. It’s less a statement than a question I hope they’ll spend their lives answering for themselves.”
TUTV: They will never write classic anthems like Don’t Forget About You, On The Waterfront or Alive And Kicking, too hard to match, but the orchestral pop Scots still know what pop-ular music needs to sound like to please their fanbase. It’s as simple as that.
