Remember recording the Sitar for this in Rockfield studios at 3am in the middle of winter!!

Yes and why not its a cracking song and i still have it on a 45. Sadly they don, t make great music like this anymore.

[Markycarandbikestuff]

Jeezus what a blast from the past, this was a question on Ken Bruce pop master on Radio 2 the other day, knew the tune, didn't know the group, i was 11 in 1982, this was my older sisters favorite tune at the time (she is now sadly gone), had to look it up on here as i've not heard it on the radio in decades.

My husband-to-be (God rest his soul) had this song on vinyl, he loved it ❤️

[Dawnseeker]

Wow. This is easy to listen to. So melodic and that angelic voice!

[MarkkoL]

Still a bang in tune, even after all these years!

[stephenwells]

Used to have a crush on this girl when she sudhamani was in Grange hill. What an amazing voice so ahead of her time and so sad she was struck down with burning mouth syndrome. xx.

Absolutely stunning song...Sheila Chandra has got amazing voice backed up by this music I can't get enough of...always hit replay after hearing it once 😀

[LightLife]

Who'll still be listening to this great song in 2025?

[markriley]

One of the best songs of the past 36 years! Wonderful song, beautiful vocals and orchestration. Sheila Chandra is just so incredibly gorgeous and mesmerising.

i've thought about this track a lot since being a teenager back then and only just thought to look it up. i'm glad i did. its still as sweet as i remember it being.

[gerardjames]

Blimey this song is 42 years old...still a banger after all this time 👍

[leonardgoulet]

In 2009, Chandra began experiencing symptoms of what was eventually diagnosed as burning mouth syndrome, as a result of which she is unable to sing, speak, laugh or cry without suffering intense pain. She has thus been rendered effectively mute. As a result of her illness Chandra retired from music.

Loved the track at the time - part of the Goa mainsteam I guess.

Saw you in Sydney some years later as a solo artist with your true take.

Started to get an idea of you as a solo artist outside of a band.

In Sydney, about 5 munutes in - I was transfixed - regardless of genre, race or creed.

Your performance was transcendent - glad I was there.

Thank you

[johnbradshaw]

Such a wonderful song, beautiful vocals and a mesmerising musical arrangement. One of the great pop songs, this is much better than an awful lot of songs which achieved more fame. Sheila Chandra is a highly accomplished talent.

[tammysack]

One of my favorite songs to dance to at The Odyssey!
