It took me 30 years to find this song. Parts of the song (without words) were in my head since hearing it on the radio as a teenager in 1990. Who knows how many hours I spent scouring the internet trying to figure out the name/band to no avail. In 2020 I saw a random clip from a podcast that was playing a song in the background. I recognized the voice after 3 decades. It only took a minute after that and I found my unicorn. Listening to it for the first time in 30 years took me right back to where I was in 1990 when I first heard this song.

The origin of my love for prog-rock can be traced down to this beautiful song. First heard when I was thirteen years old, bought the Great Dirty World cassette, really enjoyed all of it... But the vocal background by Jon Anderson on this song was my favourite part, and I had no idea who was Jon Anderson at that time... Then one or two years later the ABWH album came out, "I know that voice!!!" Bought the cassette, and that was certainly the most significant musical discovery in my life. Soon after, I found out that Anderson (and Bruford, Wakeman and Howe) were formerly in this old band called Yes... "Hmm, I wonder what Yes sounds like..." Got my hands on the first Yes album I could find. It was Close to the Edge. Need I say more? Today, I am venturing in this fringe sub-genre of prog -rock called Zeuhl, I first heard the band called Magma some ten years ago, and that was the second most significant musical discovery in my life. But it take years and years of Prog training to be able to properly enjoy the music of Magma. Between Yes and Magma, I listened to a lot of (dare I say) mainstream prog and classic prog...

The level of hidden meaning and depth in this song goes beyond anything I could have imagined. When I was away in a long-term residential addiction treatment program in 2010, the chorus of this song was stuck in my head for several months. I didn't know anything about the song, other than I had heard the melody somewhere, but couldn't recall exactly where, who sang it, what genre it was, or what the lyrics were if it had any. For 1,000s of hours in my head, there was something about this I couldn't resist, the song triggered VERY strange and powerful emotions I could not logically account for. Recently I've caught a glimpse into the dimension of my inner reality, there are reasons I can't yet fully explain but am starting to understand why this resonates with me on deep emotional level. I have a personal connection to this song, and many others, but this is one of the strongest. Meaning within meaning, a hidden context, a secret way of communicating. I know it's my subjective interpretation but it amazes me nonetheless. Especially the site where this video was filmed.

Great vocals by Gowan and Jon Anderson! Too bad the temples don't allow you to walk, let alone dance on them in 2023!!

Larry is an amazing performer. He open for Paul Young and blew him away.

The story I always heard was when Gowan was recording this album Jon Anderson was recording down the hall and heard the song and asked if he could add a little to the song. How cool would it be to have the voice of Yes want to be on your song? What a great song made even better.

I remember hearing this song on up 97.7 in Calgary a couple of months ago along with Contact by Platinum Blonde. Canada sure has one of the best songs in the world!

It's been at least 25 years .... golly. I haven't seen this in so long a time. I forgot his perfect non-mullet. (sigh) He's still so damned handsome. He and Dalbello made me proud to be Canadian.

I remember hearing this song when I went to stores with my parents growing up or on the radio, I always liked it but kind of forgot about it as I grew up. I had a huge phase of 80s music when I was 23 and I just love this song so much its one of my go-to's
