They played music over the PA system to keep the shoppers happy - mostly current top 40 stuff. Whenever this song came on, the most amazing thing would happen: People - shoppers, clerks, managers - would stop what they were doing and either gaze off into the distance or stare at the floor. For the whole song. At the time it seemed like a scene from a movie, but it was real life happening right before my eyes. The power of music. Yes, that I understand the scene. Not simply this splendid song, but the promise of unconditional love. How many of us yearn for that & never get it? And are never ourselves able to give love unconditionally . |

This song, when I first heard it, had me sitting and shivering, with tears running down my face. I still get the shivers, but I don't cry anymore. And yes, "magnificent" is the perfect word to describe this song... I knew you would have a comment for this track! I will keep your comments on the front page and hope others that cherish them will too. RIP Ann |

ziakut Dec 07, 2012 - 10:03 | The overblown production in the last third of the song is a let down for me. Wish it hadn't done that. Nonetheless, the emotion this song conjures up is amazing. For this, I love it! |

I fully agree |

DoctorHooey Dec 07, 2012 - 09:59 | One of the best songs ever written, IMO. It wrings out my heart. Few songs have this kind of power for me |
dsd Oct 05, 2012 - 15:37 | To me this song is the signature piece for the duo. A perfectly gorgeous song rendered by the other's perfectly gorgeous voice. |
quesarah Oct 05, 2012 - 15:32 | Uh oh. I heard he "disappeared" from his latest tour and worried when I heard this tune. Latest news is that he's just cancelled his tour.. but is ok. |
