This classic GOS recording doesn`t come fom the Seventies as you might imagine listening to it - It`s actually a single from 2001 ! It effortlessly re-captures the sound of his early hits and if it HAD been released at the height of Gilbert-Mania it would have been a massive hit without a doubt . Another song to play to anyone who says Gilbert doesn`t write songs like he used to !

This song should have been number 1 if Elton John or Rod Stewart sang it then our pathetic biased radio stations would have played this non stop

@raynard501 I believe it was only a hit in Japan where it was used in a TV advert for Beer ! It has appeared on a couple of Japanese ` Greatest Hits ` compilations that he released there . He is still a big star in Japan - I wish the rest of the world still felt the same !

This song is up there with the best of his work . Can`t believe it wasn`t a hit - or was it ? Never heard it on the radio in the UK .

@mohawk3881 Thank you for your kind words. You said the right things. It is very hard eventhough. It is too soon it happened only 3 weeks ago. But I'll hang in, as you so kindly suggested. And I will continue to enjoy those Gilbert O'Sullivan songs. They do give you a "lift" .....

@livesteam Guy - I`m so very sorry to hear that . I know true love does exist - I have a soulmate here that I can`t imagine being without . Remember the good times - no-one will ever take those memories away from you. I really believe we will see our loved ones again someday - there`s got to be more than this . And they never really leave you - you just feel their presence all the time . Take care my friend - and hang in there .

Thank you for posting this song. It is so very O'Sullivan ... It does bring tears to my eyes though, because I've lost the person I loved the most in the world, after 44 years of a very happy life together. True love does exist, believe me! .... So now it's back to the other great O'Sullivansong: Alone again (naturally).....

@NEVERMORExxxxx Thanks again - It`s vintage O`Sullivan this one - Simple , Catchy - all the ingredients of his earlier successes - but virtually unknown by the public ! Such a shame !!!!

@Solitaire001 Thanks . That`s the very point I have been trying to get across on my channel - there`s so much good stuff that people never hear . If you only want to hear his `Greatest Hits` you are missing out on so much . People need to be more open- minded about his music and `take a chance ` on songs they don`t recognise - they will be in for a pleasant suprise !

Excellent song, and one that definitely has the feel of his earlier hits. As I've been checking YouTube, I'm surprised at the number of great Gilbert O'Sullivan songs that I've never before heard of. Thanks for sharing this great song.
