Sad song say so much. Continuing our series in which we're sharing
insights from the songs on our new album 'Rainbow Coloured Dynamite'. What are the songs about? Where did the songs come from? Our next feature song is: 'Taken Away' - track 10 on the album. The real life inspiration for this song was the life of a young girl, a long time ago, who gave birth out of wedlock to twin baby boys. When she was showing she had been whisked off to some distant place and when she came back life went on as normal. The babies were taken away. As was the way in those days. That dear young girl went on to have her own family and carried on her life, loving her family to her fullest capacity and giving, giving, giving. Not even her husband knew of her past. Her husband has passed and the family secret is out. In life, sometimes things are taken away from us. "Around about Christmas time or on your birthday, I just close my eyes and I want to say..." What do you say when you reunite with your very own baby after 30 years? One baby – now a grown man - was a spark of joy and his brother still doesn't want to meet their mother, not yet. In the real life story, one of the boys returned and there is joy in the family over that fact.
