    Wesley Magoogan's stunning sax solo and Hazel O'Connor's melancholy vocals have just reduced me to tears.

      I agree wholeheartedly, as a 54yr man It brings me to tears, so emotional. Sad twist to this is that Wes no longer plays the sax due to a DIY accident where he lost some of his fingers. Utter travesty that he no longer plays.

    Isn't this just one of the most beautiful recordings ever?! As well as the captivating vocal, there's the exhilarating alto saxophone solo interlude which closes the track. Haunting (in a good way).

    I heard about Hazel O'Connor's condition so, just wanted to wish her a speedy recovery. This is such a beautiful, criminally underrated song which, in a way, I like as it's always been such a secret passion of mine. You need to have a deep soul to appreciate the intensity of Hazel's performance here together with the stunning sax solo. This takes me way back to 1980 when I was very young & watched Breaking Glass. I think this was after Phil Daniels starred in Quadrophenia. Get well soon Hazel x

    A couple of weeks ago in the hot weather, the daughter had a 26th birthday party and BBQ. Dad (me) of course had to drive a few of her mates home in the cooling summer night, roof down on the old XR3i. This came on the memory stick and they all went silent, "WOW, that is the most beautiful song. Who is it?" and "Put it on again, again, again!"....came the remarks.
    It seems OUR taste for 70s/80s music is shared. Good taste hasn't died with the recent dreadful music scene afterall.
    I don't think I have ever made a music compilation with this track.
    The sax just makes the hair on my neck stand on end.
    If I had some on my head, that'd probably stand on end, too.
    Thank you for this track, Hazel.
