If I was to review it. I’d give it 2/5. Just never liked it. Sounds far too twee.

Love the album. I would have gone for Shady Lady, Who Asked You or Runaway as a single instead though.

Like Rick used to say ,this one had a sprinkle of magic dust over it. Lovely song.
Never was overly keen on who asked you. Beginning to wonder about whether they really did have all the terrible reviews they sing about here (Alan's song of course ,not Francis )
Fairly sure it wouldn't have set the world alight.

Yeah - a song I've increasingly come to think of as my favourite on WYW. Right now I can't think [nor care] who wrote it, it's brilliant and that's enough!

LOAI has perhaps the best slow build-ups from the start of the track together with one of the best outros of any of their songs. Underappreciated.

Long version, terrific. Because of the long bit. At the end.
The single version is OK. Half decent melody. Not one I play a lot of though.
Moody Blues? Not sure about that.
