Summer 1990 seems so long ago now, is so long ago. Yet this song takes me back to a time when music was everything, listening to it in the sun outside, knowing then that I'd always love its sweet melody. If I had my time again, i'd still be there with my hopes for the future and the songs of Prefab Sprout as the soundtrack. Fast forward nineteen years later, this still sounds great, perfect pop, the same as it did then. Just like it was yesterday.
long ago... one gorgeous night... i fell in love... now the love shines in the night sky forever... i look up and see you shining... and wonder if you still think of me... the way i think of you... but we just had to let the stars go free.... thanks so much paddy and prefab sprout for this song
It brings back memories from cold days in Spain ,December 1990. I taped it from a radio station, "40 Principales" in those days. I still keep the tape.Since then it's been part of my life 'cause this beautiful tune helped me overcome hard times I was going through.Now I carry it everywhere ago. Such a soothing melody. Mixed emotions because I let the stars go free...long time ago. Thanks for posting it
Aki en Perù no son muy conocidos o estare equivocado pero son unas de las bandas mas elegantes q e escuchado, escucharlos de madrugada es un placer Desde aqui te envio mis fuerzaz Paddy, como ustedes no hay.
Ojala supieran lo q siente mi corazon al escuchar al maravilloso Paddy McAllon, mucho mas sabiendo la terrible enfermedad que padece, se que el 2009 sera mucho mejor para mi ya que viene con disco nuevo de Prefab Sprout, salud geniosss !!!

Viva Prefab Sprout!!! Con quince años escuchaba esta canción y me provoca los mismos sentimientos quince años después. Las grandes canciones son así.
