Livin In A Hard Time (Single) by Jamie Lee Thomas

"You only have to look around with halfway awake eyes, then you realize that these are not easy times we live in. Nevertheless, with 'Living In A Hard Time' I didn't want to create a resigned, gloomy, depressed song, but something like an encouraging musical call to vigilance, to walk upright," Jamie Lee Thomas is quoted in 1988 in the text accompanying the single V.Ö.
32 years later, the statement again applies one hundred percent to the times and the music sounds just as fresh today as it did then, which somehow also shows that musical development has not really progressed in the last 30 years. Can anyone think about how this is possible when you look at the development of pop and rock music in the 30 years from 1960 to 1990.
