    This song. This song is the one that speaks to my soul. The music that awakened me from the dark path I was sinking into at that point in my life, when it came out on the radio. The blend of Gowan's voice and Jon Anderson's is just magical. Love it forever!

    I will always remember meeting Larry Gowan at the bar downstairs from the Misty Moon in Halifax back in the '80s. He sat down and joined our table, had a beer with us and invited us up to see the show. Great guy!

    Definitely a pinnacle for Lawrence, Masterful audio sound even by today's standards wish they got the video Masters and redid it in 4k if the quality is there for it, of course Jon Anderson has the highest quality harmonies always the best at his craft and range of vocal abilities theses two together and that place must have been absolute magic, was a great time in my life when that first came out ,to see it remastered in 4k would make it last forever.

    If you lived through the 80's this song takes you back to it.
    It's to me very melancholic and mysterious. I picture a dark but seductive woman trying to bring me into her liar. As a man finding it hard to resist even though she is mysteriously dark and dangerous.. Well that's how this great classic song moves me.

    He is getting very nostalgic, i did always wonder though Jon Anderson was credited on the album-Great Diry World for doing backing vocals on this he wasn't when released as a single + on music video-should of said-Gown feat Jo Anderson like it did with Steve Winwood-Higher Love feat Chaka Khan.

    To be able to work with the genius that is Jon Anderson is a privilege. But I believe it’s also a sign of mutual respect as Jon likely wouldn’t support an artist who didn’t also have remarkable talent.

    I remember seeing Mr. LG, here in YVR, when The Spoons opened up for him at the QE Theatre. 30 years ago. Funny, this song has a strange knack of coming on the radio when I am changing out a CD when I'm driving with a workmate. It's a great song to hum along too, even if we're all out of tune (in the Service Truck) while Mr. L.G. and Mr. J.A. belt it out. Good Times! Classic!
