A Phil Coulter song!

i ay erd dis song since i waz 8yrs old

It would have been a better record with real strings instead of a synthesizer. Typical tho for Arrows. For example, The Walker Brothers got real strings, a full orchestra on their records, and the Arrows get a cheesy synthesizer simulating strings . The vocals are ace.

A classic ballad , Once Upon A Time - Arrows, should have been a massive hit. always will be one of my all time top 5 tunes......

[bootcords]

Sad song lyrically. Sentiments of a remorseful cheater!

[KeithTheKing]

[plonkey]

Folks it's called record company pressure to sell out go wimpy and appeal to a supposed wider audience.Yes record companies are despicable!

[honeybabycookie]

A good ballad well sung by one of my favorite eye candy bands.

It's hard to believe that this is the same band that recorded the first version of I love rock n roll a year earlier in 1975. What the heck happened to these guys? Sedatives?

I'd forgotten this one until now. I loved Alan Merrill and The Arrows but i've always hated soppy smaltz and this comes dangerously close.

[kingofthemountains]

I hear that!

[FeistyFairy]

Love it.

One of my favourites. brings back teenage memories of sneaking out of my bedroom window on to Arrows concerts! worth being grounded for! i blame arrows for my college grades but hey! they were worth it! Legend.
