Bob Geldof and Midge Ure wrote this song after watching BBC news reports on the 1983-1985 famine in Ethiopia. The lyrics are sad, but there is a hopefulness to them by the end of the song. The song raised money for charity when it was originally released in 1984, and again when it was covered in 2004 and 2014.
