    Bought this album in college when it first came out. My girlfriend and I used to listen to it all the time. We danced to it at our wedding. 25 years later, it's still the most beautiful music ever and she's just as beautiful as ever too. Thanks you, Blue Nile for the music of our lives. To semi-quote another BN song, we haven't always been "happy go lucky" but we love each other as much today as we did back in college listening to this.

      I got the record on a friends recc and hated it....2 or 3 listens too few.....years passed before I realised how excellent these guys were or are and will be. Their 1998 or so record is amazing too

    The Blue Nile is not a religion, not a cult, it's just love. Pure love, which is the nicest thing.

    Back when iPods were de rigueur, I was setting up the bar at work and plugged my music into the house system. One of the managers came up to me with tears in her eyes, asking who the band was. She didn't understand all the lyrics, but the hook: "Stay, and I will understand you," really got to her. She opined, "After all, isn't this what we really want, to be understood and not judged?"

      This is a great song. It just popped into my head after an 8 year hiatus of not hearing it. Nice story.

    If I had to choose just one Blue Nile song, heaven forbid, this would be it. Heard it before Walk Across the Rooftops came out and I just knew I was listening to something totally new , and from my own city too. I've no words to say how much pleasure these guys have given me over the years.

    Stunning, when he sings "and beat the drum of youth again" my heart aches, i was 19 when i first heard this and it brings back so many glorious memories. There are a few songs in life that can make me aches with sheer beauty and this is one of them.

    I had the privilege of seeing them live 3 times at different stages of their career and can honestly say that they have been about the best gigs I've been to. The 2nd time I saw them I as so moved by Paul Buchanan's haunting voice I actually had a tear in my eye. Mesmerising!

    I heard of them here in The Netherlands. This song was played frequently on national radio back in those days and so was "Tinseltown in the Rain". Reminds me of the last years in high-school, a looong time ago.

    Saw them play at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall ( in 1990 - I think ) with my brother and sister. Live, they were simply awesome. Glasgow was the City of Culture that year and they remain the class act they have always been.

    I first saw this group in a bar in Hong Kong, 1984. I wuz in a bar with my travel buddy, Bruce, and we were chatting up these chicks. In the background, the bar has this big video screen and this was playing. I loved it! So when they did a tour in my native Chicago maybe 1990(?) I saw them in concert at a small intimate venue with my friend, Grace who also happened to be from Hong Kong. Will always remind me both events in my life.

    This is not the original version from the album of the late 1980s. It's not just re-mastered/re-mixed; some of the parts have been re-recorded, and new parts have been added. What a find, only 9 years late for me.

    The Blue Nile are reason enough to visit Richer Sounds and blow a grand......then nip over to HMV and pick up a copy of "Hats" and "Walk Across The Rooftops" on CD.......the MP3 does not cut it.......for most music an MP3 suffices just fine, but this stuff is just so ridiculously delicate and obsessively well produced it demands a hard, original copy!

    I must have been hanging around with the wrong crowd back in my younger days; my friends either actively disliked them or were indifferent to them. I think you have a streak of imagination and sensitivity to appreciate this. However, i've noticed that the singer bears an uncanny resemblence to well known football pundit, Andy Townsend. Anyone else agree, or is it just me!? ha ha..
