    My brother and I were in the audience watching this, my brother worked for STV at the time and got us free tickets. I remember it clearly, we were both mesmerised by this beautiful song. My brother has recently passed away, so finding this small but precious moment really helped me. A fleeting glance of us at 2.24 sitting side by side as he always was in life with me. I’m so glad I found this.

      Interesting Russell. Aged 62 I felt the need to learn this song. To have it truly inside of me. It's a gut-wrenchingly gentle capture of regret as you suggest, of a hopeful pessimism. We could make this work but we can't; we won't. It was never really there, truth be told.

    I often wonder what Thompson has to do to make the world listen this chap has been writing top class songs for the guts of 40 years now , even given us a son with the same ability, is a top class guitarist be it electric or acoustic, really excellent live be it on his own or with a band yet ask anyone if they have heard of him chances are it's likely they haven't.

Mitchell Froom was producing Crowded House & RT albums at the time and introduced them (check the guest guitarist on Sister Madly). RT released Perrsuasion in 1991, Tim in 1993. Not saying Tim didn't play a part but very wrong to give him all the glory.

Truly haunted me for years but couldn't remember the one-word name. After researching found this. Truly one of the most beautiful, angelic pieces of music ever put forth.
