Finally just bit the bullet and paid $30 for a used copy of the Import version of this CD. The number of excellent songs on Filth and Dreams are just too many to just leave to YouTube. Buy and rip to FLAC/WAV. Filth and Dreams is an album, I would gladly overpay for. Hopefully Corinne and Andy get this on ITunes soon and more people get a chance to hear this brilliant work.
If you're asking if this is a cover version that was originally performed by a previous artist I don't believe so. I checked the liner notes of "Filth and Dreams", the CD this is from, and it indicates that all songs were written and performed by SOS. So, based on that, I'd have to say that this is the original version. If anyone has any further, or more accurate, information regarding this please feel free to comment and set the record - no pun intended - straight.
@liquidgee13 Like a lot of their stuff, it's based on earlier 70's tunes. This one is a combination of "All Day Music" *by War, and "Broadway" by George Benson. I'm just sayin'! Lol1

Thank you for posting this. I have the Live CD with Breakout and this, but have never heard this song in it's entirety. I can't quite SWING the $ to buy Filth And Dreams with my SSDI check yet.
For the longest time, the underlying tune of this song stumped me. I couldn't pin down where I heard it before till just now: The 70's Jazz classic "The Creator has a Master Plan" by Pharoah Sanders.
SOS (and a special tip of the hat to Andy)is one of the hippest groups around.
I would love for these guys to do another album like the first album " IT'S BETTER TO TRAVEL" there doing too much motown sytled music, a little disapointed!, i do have all the other albums i recommend only three the 2nd one "Get in touch with yourself", it's better to travel" Kelidoscope Affair" VERY ORIGINAL I FEEL THESE ARE THE SWING OUT SOUND! I RECOMEND THESE ALBUMS!
I agree the 3 albums you mentioned are awesome.I have all their studio albums including "Beautiful Mess".except "Filth & Dreams" and "Somewhere Deep In The Night".
