Very Beatlesque, of course... but what about The Beach Boys influence? The main reference here is almost American, my friends! I can see the hand of Brian Wilson also in this song... And the Arabesque world!!
Ted JiJi, you are so right, what a scary thought ... lol .... been on a huge Kansas kick and my mind keeps going back to that night when we tuned Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, as it was the regular thing to do, and with a name like Kansas, who could they be? some Country hicks? .. then the first few bars of "Can I Tell You" start playing and everybody's jaw drops to the floor ...............

Abner...perfect comment. I hear the Beatle influence in this song with Kerry's refinements. This song GROWS on me every time I hear it. Much more than it seems on the surface.

Im a beatle fan but Kansas is so much better musically. This song is like a tibute to the Beatles, very nice harmonic changes and intrumentation.

I love Kansas I think of life without ever knowing this music, and .... that would be very sad
