Love the arrangement and the music.
Never really cared for the chorus.

three words: wake up, wendy!

OdysseyMiles> agree with u love the music

Strange that Per Nilsen, of all people, would dismiss it as being just an unremarkable soul ballad...

i THINK THE CHORUS IS KILLING. PARTS OF THE SONG REMINDS ME OF ROBERTA FLACK FOR SOME ODD ASS REASON.

That is one of the only things I dislike about the UPTown books.Their criticisms and song descriptions are sometimes way off.It should be obvious to them and all long-time P fans, that one fan's favorite might be another's most hated.Other than that, their research and
continuity of P history is impressive and they seem to avoid the Hahnlike gossippy stuff.

I was gonna say that!!!!!
"I say the first intercourse, I say the first intercourse"





"Yes I will"

It's a freeeekin' crime this song didn't make it out into the big, bad world.

I was thinking along the same lines.

At times, Uptown straddle a very thin line between fastidious Dragnet-like objectivity ('just the facts, ma'am' to the power of ten) and being unable to resist the temptation of spicing up the broth with personal opinion, which is a mistake as well as a pity since it pretty much undoes all their research. They might not do it often but whenever they do boy, does it show!

Still, I shall be keeping a watchful eye on their upcoming output. Opinionated or not, Uptown definitely deserve our support.

i love the lyrics and the screaming at the end
