This week’s Sounds of Saturday is the amazing band The Alarm.  I am ashamed that I haven’t featured one of my favorite bands until now.  I’ve been lucky enough to see the band and Mike Peter’s (the band’s lead singer) live more than once.  His voice is even more stellar in person than on record.

“Strength” is one of The Alarm’s most well known anthems and is the name-sake for Mike Peter’s cancer foundation, lovehopestrength.org.  Mike Peters is a leukemia survivor and has taken his love of music and fervent desire to provide cancer awareness, early detection and proper treatment worldwide with music.

I’ve been given some external motivation lately but this is a song that I always go to when I need a little more.  I know we can all can relate to needing some motivation whether it’s just a bad day, week, month or year.  Enjoy!
