After receiving some minor chart positions on the UK Singles Chart, Phil Packham and Don Fardon left the band. Fardon then went on to have a UK chart hit with "Indian Reservation". Wez Price took Phil Packam's place on bass guitar, whilst Roger Lomas became lead guitarist and Pip Whitcher focused on vocals. The band relocated to Italy and received minor success. Following the band's break-up Whitcher and Lomas went on to record at Air Studios under Mike Sullivan.
Lomas in the early 1980s became a record producer for his own company, ROLO productions, and produced 1980s ska bands such as Bad Manners.
One of the most overlooked bands of the British Invasion, the Sorrows offered a tough brand of R&B-infused rock that recalled the Pretty Things (though not as R&B-oriented) and the Kinks (though not as pop-oriented). Their biggest British hit, "Take a Heart," stopped just outside the U.K. Top 20; several other fine mid-'60s singles met with either slim or a total lack of success. With the rich, gritty vocals of Don Fardon, taut raunchy guitars, and good material (both self-penned and from outside writers), they rank as one of the better British bands of their era, and certainly among the very best never to achieve success of any kind in the U.S. After their sole LP (also titled Take a Heart), they issued a couple of singles with psychedelic and Dylanesque overtones, and had somehow relocated to Italy in the late '60s, where they played out their string with material in a much more progressive (and less distinctive) vein. Don Fardon had a Top 20 hit in America with a pre-Raiders version of "Indian Reservation" in 1968.

The Sorrows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace
I can’t breathe
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace
No remorse for fellow men
Guess they don’t understand
No regrets for anything
They choke us till we break down
I can’t breathe
The Sorrows's song No No No No is a clear statement against injustice and the lack of peace that it generates. The repetition of the phrase "No justice, no peace" emphasizes the anger and frustration of those who feel that their voices are not being heard. The lyrics are particularly poignant given the recent global protests against police brutality and systemic racism. The line "I can’t breathe" is a direct reference to the killing of George Floyd and the last words he spoke before he died. The fact that these words have become a rallying cry for so many people around the world demonstrates the power of music and the importance of speaking out against injustice.

No justice, no peace
We demand justice to achieve peace
No justice, no peace
Justice is necessary for lasting peace
No justice, no peace
Without justice, peace will remain elusive
No justice, no peace
We won't stop fighting for justice until we find peace
I can't breathe
Our lives are being choked out by systemic oppression and police brutality
No justice, no peace
Justice is the only way we can breathe freely and live without fear
No justice, no peace
We won't be silenced until justice is served
No justice, no peace
Justice is a fundamental right and prerequisite for peace
No justice, no peace
We need justice to heal and move forward
No remorse for fellow men
Those in power have no concern for the suffering of others
Guess they don't understand
Those in power fail to see the harm they cause
No regrets for anything
Those in power refuse to take responsibility for their actions
They choke us till we break down
The system oppresses and exhausts us until we can no longer fight back
I can't breathe
We are suffocating under the weight of injustice and inequality
