Such an underestimated and underexposed song.

Great, great song by a killer singer. It surprises me to see what some of you are writing against the man's talent. He must have, what...a seven octave range? I know nothing whatever about his personal history and don't care to; his vocal ability is enough. Unless you, too, can croon like this, cut the criticism, sit back, and listen.

Love it, Martin is so cool.

For A.B.C. as much as " Lexicon " was hugely commercially and highly credible release, it was also a poison chalice, I have no doubt about that. For the so called music critics, they received huge acclaim for this wonderful effort, but at the same time it would become the "bar " as to which every record release that A.B.C. would deliver on the table there after. So in effect, A.B.C. were never going to reap the rewards with further offerings. Pity, and also wrong, but sadly has become fact.

Skyscraping was an amazing album, worth it just for the artwork photographs of Martin, he was & remains one cool bloke....!

I think Skycraping was their best album/cd ever, and yet it received no air time in the US. Each song is flawless. What a shame!

Anyone who dismisses ABC post Lexicon of Love just doesn't get how very consistent and talented Martin Fry, Mark White and David Palmer are and have proven to be. The greatness of ABC is that they have never been shy about bucking trends or leading new ones. Masters of 80's pop, groundbreakers of the crossover of US House and British pop, and able to still create classy, listenable and basically enjoyable music almost 30 yrs on from that first burst of brilliance.

I wish Mark White, Stephen Singleton, and David Palmer would reunite with Martin Fry. These Guys were Classic ABC. Martin does have a Killer voice!

I hope they reintroduce this into the line-up of their future concerts. It's the best of their "new" songs, in my opinion.

Band Members have Come & Gone but the One thing that has always been Constant. Is the Talent of Martin Fry for without him there's no ABC.
