I was 15 when this came out, I heard it today for the first time in years!! Knew all the words and sang at the top of my voice in my car !! Great song... anyone else done that ??
There's great truth in this heartbreaking song, but a truth that's nonetheless partial. We need never be entirely alone, however intense the feeling becomes. Loneliness is natural, a very real and mostly unavoidable part of life; but we can transcend it. It can happen when we identify ourselves too hard & too long with family/partners. But we're linked to everyone, to everything, to ourselves. That's the ultimate family, where all belong. In that sense loneliness is a powerful kind of illusion.
wow I actually know somebody in this shot towards the end, she still looks damned good. What a brilliant performer and songwriter, down to earth, just as his lyrics are. Just released a new album too.
Man oh Man oh Man, you can kill so many women with this voice and music, cheers for this God gifted awesome talented artist, i just his best songs collection and enjoying them so much....
Great stuff. just look at him and see that there is nothing but his music while he performs, he is totally into it and it comes through so clearly. Thanks for the post.

I was just 16 when this came out and went to see my brother at Aldershot Barracks.
It was my earliest memory of a `man` being interested in me!

An original and brilliant talent. It's a great shame he has been out of the limelight for years.

I didn't realise this song had such powerful lyrics. No wonder Morrissey's covered it.

It shows what a talented bloke he is to be able to concentrate on the keyboard when there are so many female legs on display.
