Fantastic composition and song!

Sometimes the passion to get there is lost when your goal is reached.  Glory Days —->

Thank´s ! It's one of my favourite songs!

 Yes, I remember it getting heavy airplay on French radio in 1993. Reason I have a soft spot for this song.

I haven't heard this song in ages! Thank you, Bill, for playing it...what a gift to hear it again!

Pure cheese.

I thought this was older than 2000 — AllMusic does cite the release date as 1993. 

Has that Alan Parsons Project/Delirium thing going on

This song holds a special place in my heart for two associated memories:
1) about 15 years ago sitting on the flying bridge of a classic 40 foot wooden cruiser at 3AM on a warm dead-calm night in British Columbia's Gulf Islands sharing a bottle of wine and stimulating conversation with my romance-of-the-time with a huge full moon lighting up the sea and Tasmin Archer singing about same-said moon
2) about ten years ago firing up Radio Paradise for the first time following the recommendation of a friend. This song was the first I ever heard on RP, and I thought, "Wow, I'm home!"

Agreed. I think it's the whoa's and yeah-yeah's that betray its age. She's got a beautiful voice, though.

The version Bill plays sounds like either a remix from the CD Single or a later rerelease? The original had different instrumentation and a different vocal performance from Tasmin (I should know... I own the purple artworked CD Single. Somewhere. ;-)

Still though, great tune! Remember when it was in the charts in the UK, it was one of the better tracks around - vivid memory of humming along to it on the way home from a swimming practice. (the strange things kids remember!) The mental image of a sleeping satellite was quite evocative - still is! (Slightly scarier NSA/MI6 surveillance overtones now though, or am I just a paranoid android?)

One of the better musical artists names....but Benmont Tench is still the hands down winner

I've always had a soft spot—one among many—for this song.

Love this song!   So much...I bought the CD.  Sorry Tasmin—you're a one-hit wonder (but what a hit!)

Have you read Bob Loblaw's law blog?

Jagdriver,  do I hear the sounds of a catfight amongst some rusty garbage bins or is it you playing your favorite song?

In the small chance you ever read this you might find the following information useful:

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) once quipped that "to remain silent and be thought a fool is preferrable to opening your mouth and removing all doubt".

Clear Channel?  Whaz dat?   Never listened to it before.  But sure seems like the benchmark of mediocrity for lots of RP regulars.

 

Zappa is normal?  Right....

I bought the CD from Tasmin Archer once. This song rocks. The rest stinks. It sucks to be a one-hit wonder.

rather weak

I blame Tasmin for an insipid song.

good song, but a bit dated now
