So was a huge album in the eighties that spawned singles like Sledgehammer and Don’t Give Up but this mournful song has always resonated the most from the album and is all the more poignant after finding out a little more behind the inspiration to write the tune.

A song that must have formed part of the soundtrack of my very formative years as I’ve always recognised it as something I liked even if I didn’t know who it was by or what it was called. It was a hit back in 1982 but it shouldn’t be judged as ‘an eighties track’ as, in my opinion, there is a timeless quality about the fusion of eastern and western styles even if Monsoon were labelled as a ‘concept band’ by some as it works extremely well.
