A nice song, not one of my faves from that year but I just can't help being swept away whenever I hear the intro; really entrancing. That does far more for me, personally, than the rest of the song.
Really? Personally I like the intro (incidentally, it must be the longest intro for an ESC entry ever - about 40 seconds in a 3-minute song!), but my fave is the last part where the song reaches its climax, largely thanks to Eric Sharpe's truly powerful vocal. This is actually an Irish entry I have a soft spot for, despite the fact that it sounds like 3 different songs thrown together in one - or maybe it's precisely this flaw rhat makes me like it more (it can happen, you know).
Can't believe this didn't win. I remember getting the lyrics out of centre page of the RTE Guide. I remember the lead singer had to get injections for his voice that night. I was 13 at the time, brings me back!
Following a break of about 17 years - Roy, Peter & Brian have started playing a few gigs recently @ Keily's of Mt.Merrion, Dublin (used to be the old Sprotsman's Inn)
Keep an eye on Keily's website to see if & when they're playing again!

I always liked this one. Thought it was very underrated Irish entry. Good melody and strong vocals.

Been wanting to see this for years. Thanks a million for putting it up. Brings back some memories.
May seem a silly question but does anyone know what the indivdual Band member are up to today?
If memory serves me correctly the Singer/pianist was playing Drums with a Band called Mann not too long ago. Would that be correct?
