It's too bad David Byron was a flaming alcoholic. It eventually caused Ken Hensley to leave the group and of course, David drank himself to death. Uriah Heep still exists thanks to Mick Box but it's not nearly the same. Ken went on to a mostly mediocre solo career, not that his music wasn't spectacular because it was. Sounded a lot like Heep. Duh? He was the principal songwriter after all. This song epitomizes the incredible potential of this group which unfortunately was never totally realized.
