Absolutely BRILLIANT !!!...an outstanding...track...his BEST ever composition...underrated by critics but up there with the best of everything Beatles etc etc......THIS IS A CLASSIC !!!
@John_Otway, My mum thought you had perfect pitch. I just think you're madly brilliant. This is such an inspiring song. The piano version is my favourite.
I no longer have her warm hand to hold my arm, but she still leads me on!
And John, did you ever get back in contact with 'the girl' who went to Geneva with her parents? And did she even know that there was a song written about her??
A softer side to a great man. John yu are one of Britain's greats and many pop stars who have millions aren't worthy of wiping your arse mate. Thanks for being who you are ..you give me smiles and head butts . Thank you so much!

@majorsnag I used to have middle of winter on a single - If my memory serves me well it was on the bside of something - did Otway release a single called mass communication or is it me going mad?
I love youtube, had forgotton seeing JO in Camden on a date with gift of the cassette as I only knew 'headbuts;. This is so beautiful. Would never have found this in hmv.
Just goes to show how good he really was Been a fansince th 70's but can't watch his live shows anymore because of all the comedy nonsense. Stick to the songs that we enjoy John and stop the rubbish
What happened to the Otway fan site? I admit to being a fairweather fan. I was a big fan in the late 80s/ early 90s and there in the build up to the second hit, then I kinda just stopped. Sorry John :-(
If Billy Green is reading this - thank you so much for the Christmas card! I don't know your address to return the favour.
Heh. Well I'm not using your page to get a message to him for romantic reasons, hope it hasn't come across that way. Last I heard he was happily married and so am I. Anyhow, cheers anyway!

John Otway a true great. Saw him back in the 70,s and he still moves me today. British eccentric emotional genius at it best. Thanks John

Thank you so much for creating this montage of photos of The Great Man. Beauty is such a touching and powerful emotion.
Beautiful song (the best Otway song of all time) poignant, touching and classic.
John (if you read this) this is genius, I agree with your sister Helen, it is your finest piece to date.
Classsssssssss
