Gargh. Drivel.

Beautiful vocal harmony.

Boring and way too commercial.

Shoot me in the face, this is awful.

ya know, typically i like these guys, and i've always thought oleta adams had a great voice. not a terrible song, either. but the production is way way overdone. from the late 80s-early 90s multi-culti days (see peter gabriel us, johnny clegg/savuka, etc.) Some of those songs made good use of that sound, but most were just annoying. this one, 5.

Absolutly wonderful! TFF did create some masterpieces.

This is bordering on abysmal.

Hate this like poison.

Going back to a wonderful time.
I love it.

I believe this is the song that discovered Oleta Adams Talent as a singer.

It could be argued that the original album, Seeds of Love, is overproduced. It took them six years to finish it. Much of that time was spent with infighting between Curt and Roland I'm sure.
Nonetheless as a complete work it rises way above the saccharine pop and rock that dominated the late 80's. The same could be said about the previous Songs from the Big Chair. They are musically unique for their time. This doesn't mean everyone should like it of course. But TFF is an interesting phenomenon in the popular music world.

I love this record. I do think the digital recording can be a bit flat but it is an otherwise fantastic achievement in production. It was clearly painstakingly recorded with great attention to detail. In a rare occasion for a rock/pop record the songs and musicianship really live up to the ambition of the production. Big name studio musicians such as Robbie McIntosh, Simon Phillips, and Manu Katche put in fitting contributions. Each song is unique and wonderfully realized as its own piece. Especially noted by TFF fans is the haunting final track, Famous Last Words.

All of that said I always felt Seeds of Love was not recognized all that much for its greatness. Maybe it is just too unique in its ambitions. But that's just my opinion...

This is one of the best songs written IMO, the female vocalist is outstanding and I've heard it many times since it was released and it is still one of my top tens by far.

This really hasn't held up very well over the years. Very dated sound.

What ever elevator this elevator music came from, is down, down, all the way to hell. With cancer... and john tesh, and richard gear....

AMAZING song, always moving.

This is a re-post but I couldn't help it. This song is so good..Great to hear it! Play more TFF, how about something from Raoul and the Kings of Spain?

This is pretty good. TFF certainly knew how to create magic sometimes.

One of my favorite TFF songs, mainly because of Oleta Adams's beautiful voice. Where is she? We need more singing like that out here.

i love them.

Jeeze I disklike this.

Wow! I haven't heard this in years! Time to space out and remember times gone by.

Pretty damn good. First time I've heard this particular track but have to admit I'm always a sucker for these guys.

Fine song, but there's a little too much reverb in the mix. (Typical of the 80s.)

brings back nice memories. thanks. :)
