I played this song over and over again on my cassette tape in my car for months, back in the 80's.  This song is timeless, could fit any age.

It's interesting to follow this band through their progression of albums. Their first is one that I like to put on when I want to rock out. Their last, I put on when I dim the lights and lay on the couch as I ponder the universe. Quite a swath of musical emotions..

I'll second that.  Was extremely busy in the late 1980s, early 1990s and missed a lot of music.

Fine guitar-riff, and the singer squeezes it so high on the offbeats - nice to listen to! ( Norderney, Germany)

You nailed it. The late 80's in a nutshell... Most of the music was as vacuous as most of the early 60's- a cultural junkyard left to be mined by the great bands 10 years later for covers of the hits.

I must say I had until the first few measures of this tune...then BAM!  It just goes to show...memories aren't lost, we just forget the path.

These guys are great — should have enjoyed a lot more success. Some of the best stuff from the 80s. But unfortunately it wasn't widely heard until RP rescued it.

Yeah, life's what you make it.... while high on salvia divinorum and acting like a tart.

This song is excellent though.

These guys along with Blue Nile sum up a huge part of the late '80's and '90's for me. Missing my youth!

This guy sounds great, even though he sounds like he's suffering from motion sickness!  {#Smile}

Kudos again to RP for playing music by Talk Talk including some great stuff that, unlike this song, was not a big hit in the 80's.

Disagree; they may be easily distinguishable, but certainly in the same ballpark. Love 'em both.

But what I really wanted to say was that this song, indeed most of the cuts on this compilation CD, have aged very very well.

You're joking right? Mark Holis sounds nothing like Steve Windood... not even remotely close.

Winwood is indeed playing the B3 on that cut and a couple of others though.

I don't know why, but every time I hear this I think of "Ma Belle Amie" by the Tee Set. Must be that Hammond B3.
