      It’s bought me to tears as I recall when I listened to this as a very sad young woman, in the early1980’s….. still sad at times, but I survived.

    Beautiful vocals, Colin has a fragility, vulnerable quality which is unusual in male singers. Outstanding song by Eric Woolfson.

    30 - 40 secs. Seeing the tears of others sets me off. I’m there in the moment. This is a great song and Colin has always had that enviable, angelic voice. As a musician the greatest connection you’ll ever make is when someone cries when they hear you sing. You couldn’t ask for more than that.

    Two years after this recording, I located Colin Blunstone playing in a dingy little nightclub in Worcester Park and drove there to see him. Always thought he was Britain's most underrated singer. I'd seen The Zombies once in the 1960's and he'd just met up with Rod Argent again and they'd started the band again when I saw them. I'd wondered what had happened to them. From that little nightclub in 2002 they're now doing world tours. Wonderful band and singer.

      Oh yes I am right there with you. Most of my friends were not interested in this music. I always thought what are they thinking. Beauty and art should be observed. But most people are more interested in gossip and train wrecks. Life is for the living. Don't waste it. Listen and learn from beauty not ugliness.

    According to a recent documentary this was his favourite song and Eric Woolfson (the writer of the Alan Parsons project music) give him a few days to practise, normally they just said here it is Colin sing it now and he frequently did just one take. Brilliant singer and a song writer as well.
