Man, what an interesting mixture of comments on this song. Does it sound like old Spock's? Of course not! I didn't write this song for Spock's Beard. I wrote this song for myself... and, yes, the video has nothing to do with the lyrics. It's a song. It's not a remark on the ongoing direction of the band. There are plenty of moments on that album that hearken back to the old sound. I'm fully aware of the massive shoes I have to fill. I didn't even choose this song for the album, Alan did. I was just playing him some of my solo stuff and he wanted to do it. That said, I'm glad we did it and I will not apologize. People said the same thing about June and All on a Sunday. Selling out? Piss off! We collectively liked the song and so we recorded it. That's what the band is all about. Like it or not, I am part of this band. I'm the BIGGEST fan of its history, and I revel in its current form... and will forge ahead despite the naysayers.

Absolutely KILLER! I have watched this over and over again. Great song and great video! Gotta get this album! AAA+++

This is an amazing ballad, just like "Shining Star", and it's got a lot of the same elements that made the former song great. Absolutely perfect production, sublime and restrained playing all around, but with real power and heart. And Ted nails it.

Fantastic. My husband introduced me to this band just five minutes ago. Love this already

This one of the greatest “pop rock” songs of all time 🤘🤘💚 fantastic melodies, warm production, expressive vocals, and top notch musicianship and song craft. It’s not prog rock, but it doesn’t need to be. Phenomenal track, it’s timeless and will be loved forever

This is what I always liked about Spock's Beard, it's versatility in songs. Ever since I listened to the first album of you guys, I have been a REAL fan. Even with the line up now, it is still the same great band to me. Keep 'em rolling, PLEASE. I look forward to more of hearing your great versatility and the inspiration that it brings. I am an old musician/songwriter, so this is even more of a compliment than just from a REAL fan, IMHO. I know it would be to me, as a versatile believing musician/songwriter.

I love this band, every version gets better. The whole CD is good, it has all the familiar riffs that I expect from the Beard with fresh new vocals. It's hard to say that you can replace Neal and Nick but IMOHO Ted Leonard is a great fit and I love his sound. I have most of the catalog with the exception of the live stuff and DVD's and I will continue to follow this band. Keep rockin' Beard!

This was highly inspirational! I sat here listening writing lyrics, some of my best. No lifting from this tune, just drinking in the inspiration.

I LOVE this song! It's great to see prog groups occasionally simplify the music so that lyrics as complicated and deep as these can shine through. Great work SB!!

It's a beautiful, fantastic song, regardless of who wrote it, new or old Spock's Beard, whatever. It's a damn good song and a damn good performance by a damn good band.
