I've listened to this song for nearly 40 years. I'm still addicted to it, in fact more than ever. This cover band has done an amazing job of making it as beautiful as the original. So, I love it so much that I bought an electric guitar and learned the lead guitar part. It has taken 4 months of daily playing and I am nearly good enough to play it on stage. My wife and kids have practically disowned me.

[@HansjeVdTillaert]

I've also been addicted to this song since this song came out around 1979. I also play a little bit of guitar but I don't even start, too hard. Nice to hear I'm not the only one addicted to this song. Hurry up and make up for the damage with your family.
