I love this version of this wonderful song, a decade later it still moves me. Perfect.

[@knightgary3139]

I could sit and watch John perform for a eternity, we are truly blessed to have such a wonderful songwriting musician.

[@rlt79]

Reckon he's at his best when he's acoustic. Love his tone and his phrasing, a great Liverpool voice.

[@MURUR1025]

Agreed. I prefer his acoustic versions every time. Which takes nothing away from other versions ;-)

[@JohnPower17]

This man is truly a legend and is up up there with the best. Fantastic songwriter and a true inspiration, my music collection wouldn't be the same without him/Cast.

[@paulclarke876]

Totally underrated, one of the best albums I have ever brought true songwriting talent and a voice to behold

[@jamesnapier7396]

[@remembermeforevertit]

[@sgtrayelwood]

I've only recently come to this album and I absolutely love it. This is one of my favourite tracks, and hearing John do such a powerful (n.p.i.) and moving version of it is just incredible. Thank you, John.

Great singer, great song writer, great both solo and in Cast. Cannot wait for the Philharmonic on 5th December ! Cast with an Orchestral backing will be the stuff of legend !

first exposure to cast n john power was this video, found out he was in the la's (n they had more than one song 😂) n it was uphill from there really. lovely song and performance❤

[@rocknrollramblers4051]

Absolute class ... his voice is amazing , almost on the verge of cracking , gives it such a rustic honest quality , when delivered like this that Liverpudlian accent is hard to beat .. bloody marvellous...

[@jakeatkinson2040]

I like the sea as well , and i like the way you play and sing ...

[@thebetbetunderground9548]

I'm genuinely shocked by how on par this was with Mavers' songwriting.

[@Garethfeb16]

it's little wonder that the la's had one of the best albums of all time!!! mavers and power are two of the best singer songwriters of my generation!!
