Personal Trivia you likely don't care about: I saw this band in June 1979 in West Berlin at a concert called British Rock Meeting, headlined by a band called Barkley James Harvest also featuring Dire Straits and several other bands. I was an exchange student with a group of American and German kids. After they played this song we all said, "That was really a GREAT song!" I still think that 43 years later.

My wife died nearly two years ago. This was one of our favorite songs. I will never forget dancing to this song at the end of a party at Boston University, when we were the only ones left on the dance floor. It is one of the memories that I cherish, that take me back to better days. At first, it hurt so bad to hear special songs like this one, But now they somehow comfort me, when I realize how thankful I am that we shared 36 wonderful years together. Life will never be the same, and I don't think the hurt and pain will ever go away. But life does go on. I hope you find comfort, and learn to rediscover and cherish the music that you shared.

Far ahead of the genre they sprang from, this song is an utter gem. This track manages to combine classic rock (post the disco explosion) with the increasingly popular sound of post-punk and early synth-driven bands...
