Amazing song. Great melody and use of horns in the studio production.

The song has no pretentious hidden symbolism, and no profanity. The message is as timeless as Romeo and Juliet.

Yet how prophetic the song really was. Fifty years ago, pre-texting, tweeting and e-mail, two people communicating and falling in love, and this is all that matters.

Probably the best Everly Brothers single. Ironically, this was their last big hit as the Warner Brother years were the brothers beginning of the waning of their popularity. But what beauty in the simplicity.
