Nice to see him back with the song but the loudness and deeper sentiment of the original track kinda disappeared..he kinda mellowed down with the age...
It's often said that things improve with age. Same could be said with this song - Nick ain't lost it and to be honest, i much rather like this version.
A good example of a song that hasn't been covered, and the original artist has a chance to revisit it.
Yes, its really messed up. Wasn't I just hanging out in clubs and going to general admission concerts in NYC? Now some kid in Blockbuster is calling me "Ma'am." At least we can say we're younger than The Stones!
V. funny posting from barrydc1! Been a fan of Nick's since his Haircut 100 days. When he left the band the rest of the members bitched about his singing abilities. While there is an element of truth in this (as observed in this clip), Nick remains an extremely talented songwriter. Check out North of a Miracle - the album from which this track is taken.
the only exposure i had to this song was in the prom scene of Sixteen Candles. I searched and searched for the CD in about 1988 and finally found it.....and wore it out.
yes yes yes - thank you for uploading this- i was waiting for ages!!!! Love this song so much - never heard it before this programme and i pefer this version to how it was originally - goregous song! :D
This song is very important to me! Thank you Nick!

@morph1554 Remember when he made a comeback around the early nineties and all of a sudden he was really muscle-bound?

So very true. I love this song more each time I hear it, and I've heard it hundreds of times.
