Single release by Mike Oldfield and a non-album single released after the the studio album Crisis (1983). The A-side was released in what seems like Oldfield's pop period of the early 1980s, where he began composing songs with harmony vocals to satisfy the broader mainstream pop culture after a series of hits with songs like "Family Man", "(It Was A) Mistake", "Moonlight Shadow" all of which had vocals by Maggie Reilly. The title track has vocals by Barry Palmer and the music bears much similarity with the song "Moonlight Shadow"; however, I always felt that the true gem was the instrumental B-side, which is also included on the double compilation album The Complete (1985).
