[@acidmack1041]

I love this song so much...but then again its hard not to love every track on this album!! Great lyrics from Phil too

[@r2rr]

I'm so glad you knew who wrote the lyrics!

[@Tramseskumbanan]

@@r2rr In fact, as far as I know, Phil and Boon actually wrote most of the lyrics. It was a great loss when they both left the band in 1987.

Quality tune. Songs like this are the ones the non 42 fans are missing out on. What a lyric 'trying to fit the social norm and be a good man in a storm'. Genius. Keep them coming

Been a major fan since the early80s

While watching this, my husband told me this song reminds him of falling in love with me. I didn't know this before so, thank you for highlighting this song! Side note: I love this band so much that my husband asked me to marry him at a Level 42 concert in London. Best birthday present ever.

Wow, what a nice story.

Just a fantastic song. The verses, choruses, guitar solo, & outro flow into each other so fluidly. A great showcase for Phil's tasteful drumming. The main bass line is super busy, but the brilliant choices in keyboard & guitar sounds kind of smooth out the overall sound. And the main melody always sounded like it fit Mark's voice, well, "like a glove" :) Definitely in my L42 Top 30.

Boon Gould wrote quite a lot of Level 42's songs, including this one if I remember right. Great track. ❤️

I THOUGHT I could not love this album more until I got the UK release! I like the song choice better.
