    R.I.P Terry Hall. Just heard news of your death. You were a Unique talent, & your songs were a major part of my teenage years and beyond. The state of the World & the Political State of the UK currently are so reminiscent, horrifyingly so, of the exact times you sang in the 1980's & 1990's. So your songs & talent is heartbreakingly accurate! Where many of us are " My God we grew up with this & we have rewound again, & now Our Children are facing these Issues Hard Faced, Front & Centre! Several more Generations are Bruised!" I am genuinely heartbroken 💔 to hear of your Passing. You were a Central Figure of my Youth & later years. You gave us 63 Years. God Bless you for that Unbelievable Contribution 🙏. Love to all your friends and family x

The girls voice is given more prominence as the song progresses. Her voice sounds beautiful and authentic and love the rawness of the song sang and played live. This song came out slightly just before my time (meaning, before I was into music) glad I heard it. Still sounds great today. Love it.
