I like Mik Kaminski violins on that one. That's good music, but apparently they haven't got enough money for publicity and probably lack of Jeff Lynne's sunglasses also contributed to this.
what are you talking about on your video description? this WASN'T written by Jeff Lynne! this is ELO Part II. Jeff could write better music than this shit song in his sleep.
You're right, it wasn't Jeff Lynn. Don't know why I put his name in this one, just a brain fart moment that nobody informed me of. There's probably others in my video descriptions too.
It's a.. functional song at best, and clearly was just intended as filler to make up the numbers, and maybe it's harsh to criticise it too much.
It just doesn't sound that great when it's compared to the awesomeness of Thousand Eyes and Honest Man, and to a lesser extent For The Love of a Woman, which are really well crafted symph-rock.
Every album needs its fillers, and it's always hard to tell what tracks fans will like in particular. In the CD I wrote a couple years back, I received quite a few surprises when I got feedback from other artists in which songs they liked and didn't like.
Still, I agree, this song doesn't compare to the handful of gems on this CD, or probably even Jeff Lynn's worst tracks from New World Record of Out of the Blue.

But I do disagree that this is a shit song.
