Sorry bout that! This is quite rare and lucky to have. Least we got up some visuals to go with song. Will try to improve the quality if if can be done when we have time to spare.

Ich habe diesen Song von Anfang an geliebt und niemals gedacht, dass ich 35 Jahre später hier bei YouTube einen TV-Auftritt von Hudson-Ford sehen könnte. Wunderbar!

Brings back great memories from when I was a kid.

I always thought the verses didn't go with the chorus. It needed a more upbeat rocky feel to the verse riff...

I was not usually a fan of records at this time in 1974 but this was one of the exceptions.

These days you might think that it was an early attempt to convey a message about global warming.

If you can get the complete version, (the you tube version cuts out before the end!)increase the volume as it fades - it is mind blowing - I love the pounding of the same line accompanied by a fantastic vocals and guitar.

Hudson & Ford contributed some amazing songs for the STRAWBS, let alone great songs like this, and the Beautiful "Floating in the Wind". I found out recently that they were part of the 80's Vaudevillian retro band 'HIGH SOCIETY', who's 1981 album was given it's first CD release in 2009. The 7" was the fab "I NEVER GO OUT IN THE RAIN' !
