My first attempt at a YouTube clip . And I did because this song screamed out to be available on YouTube. Skyhook's most emotional song , and a fitting tribute to Shirley Strachan , a deadset Aussie rock legend .
Bob Spencer's solo is outstanding . I heard on a radio interview back in the late 70's that this was his tribute to Paul Kossoff from Free.
A magical piece of Australian rock music never heard on the radio.

You did such a wonderful job with this.You have no idea what this song does to me, or maybe you do. God bless you and Shirley. Saw them in N.J when they opened for Uriah Heep on the Wonder World tour. We had the album already .If I only knew how much they meant to me now, Back then I would have gone around back and met them...Great Job Again!!13 years ago
