What a beautiful song! From a beautiful person! I love this! I'm afraid no one's voice comes close! Thanks for all of your music over the years. Still loving you in Alaska!❤
I think this is the most beautiful melody by "10cc" . Graham is a great melody maker! Eric's singing voice strikes a chord with me! It is the 10cc! I love it!
Eric Stewart deserves more recognition by the music industry. I would give my right arm to hear Eric sing this live. Anyone that likes this I would recommend, if you have not already done so, listen to Runaway and Alan Parsons Siren Song.
I find that with a few of 10CCs songs, particularly those performed by Eric. Feel the benefit and People in Love come to mind where the live version is much better than the studio version.
Song.. exquisite.. agreed. This performance.. dreadful. Pianist may as well as been wearing mittens! All the touch and feel of a robot! I first learned this in about 1981; still play it... with FEEL and some SWING.. original recording. has both. This has little of either
Why an artist so great as Eric Stewart was not a huge rock star ?. I always felt that something heavy in his heart tied him to the ground and didn't let him fly. It makes me so sad seeing him behind his sun glasses carrying with so much pain and such finest talent.
Carlos Balenzuela Well he WAS a star for a while in the 60s with the Mindbenders. He hated the attention he got as a then "hearthrob", so I guess he focused more on the music (along with the rest of 10cc) rather than the image. This means that neither him or 10cc got the credit they deserved, although they were successful. I know what you mean about the heaviness in his heart; I get that feeling too and it predates his near fatal car accident in the late 70s.
I read somewhere that Graham wrote this and also intended to do the lead vocals. When Eric heard it he wanted to do the vocals. I think this is one of the songs Graham wrote while Eric was recovering after his car crash in 1979.
