Haven't played this for years, great tune isnt it?
Weirdly no guitar solo as such, more a continuation of the intro, but great guitar sound non the less.

Great riff but the song doesn’t quite live up to the startx
Thought the remix for the single version brought it to life a bit more.
I saw them perform this in Croydon the week it came out.
It didn’t last in the set until the end of the tour unfortunately.

Has a sort of edginess to it and the sound has a bit more guts than usual, but the tune itself is a bit flat and the chorus is very similar to the verse so doesn't really hit any new heights.

Terrible. An enormous disappointment after the superb 'You'll Come 'Round'. 3/10, must try harder.

Nope, very mediocre and completely forgettable. Typical Rossi bland country tune given a bit of guts that could have easily ended up terribly on an album like Perfect Remedy.
You'll Come Around was fabulous. Best track in decades. But this...yeah, nah.

Thought the remix for the single version brought it to life a bit more. I totally agree, after hearing the remix, I cant play the original version. Just proves a lot of Quo songs, particularly from the PR album would benefit from a remix. |

Can you believe this song will be 20 years old in December?

Never a great fan of this. It was one of those trying too hard to be a bit of a bouncy jig things. I'd have thought it might have been quite good live but it didn't stay the course long enough. Pulled up at the first  Presumably the video for both this and You'll Come Round were filmed round about the same time; Lincoln Castle, was it? I know it's nothing like it but I'm Watching Over You always reminded me of it a year later. Especially the chorus. But I have no idea why  |

I quite liked the single remix at the time. Quite a forgettable tune...
