While this beautifully haunting ballad by Greg Lake doesn't chart with most ELP fans as being worthy of a kind word, it spoke to me of something we've all experienced at one time or the other, well, most of us anyway. We've all had a great love affair that started out as he describes when first seeing her "across the room," only to later have it transition into the most painful heartbreak that sought to nearly destroy us. The first 50 times I played it, lol, it sent chills over me & gave me a fleeting glimpse of a propensity for love that I seem no longer able to feel. At 71, it merely evokes a memory of some of the great or doomed loves of my life.
