Just heard it and its a catchy pop type song

The horns work well on this song and the background singers do too.

Very interested to hear the studio version....

Not liking this one. I would be interested in hearing a studio version but this performance doesn't do a thing for me.

It's an okay song but I think it's a typical concert song...can't really think of what a studio version would sound like hmmm

Just heard the version from the second Montreux show. Faster and funkier. The first show version sounds a bit more passionate. I hope that is the template for the studio version, if there is one. pray Really cute song.

For all time I am with you, you are with me.

I actually think it's the best "recent" [ wink ] new song he's done. It reminds me of his early stuff. nod

Haven't heard it.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

I heard on the 2nd show in Montreux and was quite underwhelmed to be honest. I have tried again and listened to it another 4-5 times and no - it is still bland and boring. It could be the live arrangment of it, though.

When I first heard it I thought it was a cover, it just sounded like a Huey Lewis mid-eighties filler or something. Just a song. That being said I will the studio version a chance when/if it comes out.
