A belter. Always loved it. OK, shades of Softer Ride at the start but it gets its own identity fairly quickly. Terrific solo from Francis towards the end. There's some studio footage of this on one of the DVD's. Can't remember which one; probably the Party - 40 Years one. But it's a great watch. 10/10  |

Good little track . As already said
I can pick up shades of Softer Ride. No where near as good as that, but ok. Rossis vocals sound too clean for my taste ( if that makes sense).

Disappointing track for me. Has a great build up, but as soon as the band all kick in it just seems to fall flat and lose the intensity and excitement.

Yep - shades of how good they used to be [and still could've, if only they'd been ar*ed more often!] |

I love it!
It’s a very different type of lead break from
Francis in that I’ve not heard one like it from him before or since.
The intensity really builds during the lead break and continues until the end of the song with the band really locked onto one another.
Great stuff

Cool track! The production kills it almost completely. On top of that, the horrible mastering with huge compression. Really takes away the difference between the start and when all the instruments kick in. There's no space, no change in dynamics there, due to that.
However, this whole album, more than a remaster, needs a remix.

I love it! This one and Belavista Man are the only two songs from TPAOY that I tend to return to quite regularly
