The chorus of this song was sampled it a 90s rave tune that I loved and at the time my mum told me it was a korgis song( never heard of them B4 that tbh) anyway she had the album. Anyway I sort of got brought up on good music and whenever I find myself missing them I play the music that takes me BK there to happy times., B4 I get to a point where I'm proper emotionally battered cos ppl say " it's good to cry " and let all that out but for me it's never a good thing.take care

    I played this song in my Beirut apartment as I packed to leave, days before the airport closed in the summer of 1981. Listening to it now brings back the scent of jasmine, the noise of the street outside, and the feelings of fear, exhaustion, and intense sadness at leaving the city and man I loved. He is long dead now, and our daughter born the next year is 42, but the music brings it back like yesterday.

    It's 2:45 Sunday morning AM. And this was the first time I heard this song out of radio station called WJMJ. Luckily they have a playlist and I was able to look it up. Being here in the US I've never heard this before. What a memorizing and great song. Yes and for me I was 20 years old in 1980 and unfortunately US Radio wasn't much for playing European songs back in the day.

    Definitely Remember this tune! Otherwordly, Orchestral, Unique and Unexpected nuances - maybe everyone here has a similiar interpretation that when you are younger it's much easier to change your heart and let's face it the Love comes much easier!When I was 20 this was the reality now over 60-not so easy to change your heart and Love is so much harder! Maybe the message is being able to reflect and learn that Love and the Good times are invaluable and should be treasured! Not at all surprised at this type of musical genius in the U.K. - it just seems to have this astonishing talent reservoir!Cheers fron Canada!

    Heard this last night while watching the Enforcer movie with Antonio Banderas. It's a violent movie, but the theme of it was reflected in the song, which was played at the conclusion in the last scene of the movie. That's what brought me here. Though I don't recall ever hearing this song before last night, it is now on my favorite list.

    This is no bull.
    The guy playing the violin is Stuart Gordon. His mother, Joyce, originally married to Jim Gordon (deceased far too early) was my Dad's cousin. The family ran a funeral director's business in Bedlington, the premises are still there but under another name. Stuart died just over 9 years ago. He was one of the finest composers and session musicians ever to walk this planet. He has a twin brother Keith and a sister Christine, whereabouts of both I'm not sure. We used to visit them at the family business and being totally incompetent in anything musical, i was blown away by their ability to pick up virtually any instrument and create magic. Stuart was in many bands, The Korgis, The Shortwave Band and many others I can't recall. I still have an original vinyl of The Shortwave Band from 1975.

      I am from Bedlington and was at Bedlington Grammar School (1966-1973) and the Gordons were there at that time. They were a year or two older than me. I actually thought that Stuart and Christine were the twins and that Keith was younger, but I may be wrong.They were all lovely people as I remember. Stuart and Keith were in a band called The Lynx with, I think, Duncan Tyler but not sure who else. I remember them playing at the school once.
