Getting Over the StormUB40

Released: September 2, 2013

Songwriter: John Riggs

Producer: UB40

Guess I'm hurt because of your leaving
I know for sometime I will be
I still see the cloud that brought sadness
And the blue rain is still part of me

But real soon you may see me lonesome
And once more see my will to go on
Yes, I'll admit I'm still under the weather
But darling, I'm gettin' over the storm

I'm gettin' over the storm, I'm gettin' better
For the first time there's no sign of rain
While this is appearing and my skies are clearing
I feel the harsh wind of first growing pain

Once you said that I'd never forget you
At the end of my first you will see
That I'll find the love I've treasured
There's a new life just waitin' for me

I can see the new rays of sunshine
Early pain that I knew have all gone
Yes, I'll admit I'm still under the weather
But darling, I'm gettin' over the storm

I'm gettin' over the storm, I'm gettin' better
For the first time there's no sign of rain
While this is appearing and my eyes are clearing
I feel the harsh wind of first growing pain...

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
