This song meant a whole lot to an innocent 19 year old guy who was head over heels for a gal that just wouldn't give him a sign that she was feeling the same way. Waiting with no reciprocation, he felt the weight of every word in this one during the days that elapsed until a wiser time found him.
The "On Your Own" single now sits in a chest of compact discs that haven't been visited with regularity for nearly a decade. Oh, but to re-discover the warmth of this song and those wonderful feelings of the past as grown man, husband and father. Such are the delights of the arts in this life we live.
Cheers to Richard, Nick, Simon, and Peter (and Owen's fantastic production).
Sheesh, I should say the "This Is Music" single... which was such an exciting purchase way back when, hitting US soil weeks ahead of the anticipated LP. Ah, time, you have your way every now and then.

A gem of a tune.
