One of the best bands ever. Perfect harmony, unique and amazing voice, great lyrics. Music with a big "M"! I really miss this kind of music with real instruments and real people.

I remember dad used to play this on cassette in the car on day's out.... How I miss him

[paulgoldstein]

This is a quarter of a century old but utterly superb. Still. And forever. His voice is just about as good as it gets. Top song. Top, top song. Top band. Beautiful.

This man has one of the best male voices. I have ever heard. Every time I listen. I love it more and more.

My favourite ever...Reaches my soul, makes me regret all the things I haven't shared with my dad, all the things we couldn't talk about although he was at home every day. And now he's gone...Fortunately, by the will of our Almighty God my father will be raised from the dead, as many will be, and we will share eternity on this beautiful planet Earth restored into paradise. This is the promise of the true God Jehovah Who cannot lie, and I long for that moment so much.

"There's people turning bad, feeling sad, misunderstanding, and the world's gone mad.
And you watch TV, and you shake your tortured head" Sad but so very true :( Great song.

[nickylee]

Sends shivers right through me, I have this song on repeat, my god what a voice, what an orchestra just pure bliss.

[awwaller]

...very soulful. Such a powerful and memorable chorus.

[newton]

I never knew my Dad, although he died at 78. He went one way i went the other, Wish i knew him, This song reminds me of what i use to think,

[leolopez]

This summed up my years after mum died leaving dad to cope by himself. Giving everything and expecting nothing back but the right to live in peace. He passed last year leaving us to suffer these times. I miss his conversation his cooking his views of the world.

[grahamepepper]

Genuinely strong social, moral and political compass on all The Christians work and of course damn tuneful, love 'em.

[doug]
