Not from the period I loved them for, a bit later, and quite a different sound,
....but a pretty great song none-the-less.
IMHO,

Sorry Jeff but for me this is when Quo went too twee. I do like their melodic stuff but to my ear this is bland chart material. I'm sure I put up with it at the time because it wasn't until post the split that I would ever admitted to disliking anything they did.

Yeah, it´s a matter of taste as everything about music is I suppose.
To me this is a special song that has depth to it, that makes me feel something. A kind of poignancy to it.
More Rossi brilliance.
IMHO,
Jeff

I really like this song. For me it is simple. Likes most of the Quo songs with JC on drums.

I just want them to stop half way through and do some mental Quo thing.

I never liked the 'whistling' and that put me off the song but I really loved the acoustic version at the Roundhouse. I agree the lyrics are boderline twee/poignant but it's a good tune and shows what we have always known, that they have diversity in their songwriting and don't all sound the same.

Loved the Solo and it has a special poignancy to it after I read what John Eaden had to say about it.

Terrible just terrible. Why it's called Rock and Roll I'll never know.

The beginning reminds me of Percy Edwards

Alan's looking at Francis at 1:05 as if to say "no it's not"  |
