One of my favorite songs by Andy Partridge. I think this song is very well arranged, and I can never stop listening to it. I think Andy Partridge wrote this about his divorce.

Tears flowing become beautiful when you hear this song!

I've always heard the spirit of the Beatles in XTC's Skylarking. George Martin orchestrations abound.
Skylarking is a bona fide CLASSIC!!

This song was my catharsis when the love of my life dumped me almost twenty years ago.

I like it- it's more of a "I'm ok, I was sad and got better. What's done is done and I've made my peace. Please stop with the damn pity." song than the general "woe is me, life is pain." like most lost-love-ditties.

1000 umbrellas couldn't save you from the misery of not hearing this song

Great memories of being in my room in Jr high, flipping this tape over and over because of my love for it. Such a great song!

Great XTC song. It's like their own "Eleanor Rigby".
