Thank you for sharing this. This song is older than I am, but listening to my mother's vinyl of this album is one of the few "good" memories I have with my mom. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. My husband just purchased me the original still sealed vinyl (that was hard to find).
My English teacher was explaining metrical tale today... And she used this song as an example. I'm so glad I was introduced to it. The lyrics are just amazing. <3
@chaos6101 Yeah most of the comments here have been in that same vein...a song that utterly vanished once the 80s hit, I remember it very well as a 9 year old however. Its great to hear it again isn't it? They don't make them like this anymore.
I'm 17 and I remember listening to this when I was a little kid. Great song took me a long time to find. Austin Roberts is one of the greatests and so underrated.

I was on the air at the time this was a hit. Great song, good story. I wouldn't even consider working in Radio with today's music....too much hate.
