To my fellow Gen-Xers and Smithereens fans out there: I don't think we will ever hear such lovely harmonies and arrangement in popular music ever again. I hope I'm wrong. :o(
@DestroyerofSouls666 This catchy, creative, melodic music will never be produced again...or at least we won't hear it in the mainstream. WHY oh why do record companies keep looking for artists that all sound EXACTLY the same?
Heard this by chance on the radio in 1990 and invested in the 12" single. All 3 tracks (also 'Room Without A View' and 'Maria Elena') are fab. The album's pretty good too ! P.S. A friend pointed out the similarity to 'In My Life' by The Beatles in the instrumental break...but hey, nothing wrong with being a Beatle fan !
Holy crap I never knew there was a video for this song! Dinizio's gruff baritone vs. Belinda's grace... great combo for a rock duet. Dang what great memories.
I bought this CD when it came out. I love this song. But I had never seen the video until now. I moved from NJ to Los Angeles in 1999 and got to know a band called Darling Violetta. Their cellist was Gerry Sutyak, who plays on this. I had no idea she was featured so prominently in this video. Very cool. Thanks.
Pat Dinizio is the man !

Beautiful! These guys really should have had so much more recognition for song writing and musicianship!

Probably one of the most beautiful, yet poppy ballads ever written. One of the best songs ever written period.

@TimmytheGeek2009 Not to be rude, but I think you mean "moron."

@serventofthegoatmen7 Not to be rude, but any Bugs Bunny fan could tell you I spelled it just as intended. ;)
