@LondonGeezer01 hey but touchy,this one,you are the one and take on me are few silly songs..i don´t think that is enough to put down the rest..the rest is a masterpiece for me! and even they have said that the company wanted them to make that kind of songs but they didn´t want to and beacuse of that they seperate for 7 years..

Did not know until recently that this was based on an early demo version of "Train of Thought"

@BlueSilverStars Well it is one of their weakest, I stand by it, stands out cos the rest of the album is so damned fine. But hear this right-I still play it when I play the album-I don't skip it unless I want to. My post looks damning, but the attempted dark approach of this song is done a lot better by them on countless other albums, including this one with 'Cold River' and 'Slender Frame' and 'Early Morning'. Still a top group, their worst song is prob from their 1993 album, I still not got.

@TheWickerMan2000 That's terrible-the only weak thing on that wonderful album that this is from is 'Sycamore Leaves'-whatever it was attempting, it's rather tuneless, dull and drawn-out approach failed entirely. Morten also sung it weridly with no life-very unlike him. 'Cold River' is one of the real strong points on this album, but mind you there are at least 7. I only got the album 5years ago but at least I never had the cassette blow on me, like they all do. Morten is singing this lead.
