I love reading the YouTube comments about how much this album (and this tune, in particular) affected people's lives. Memories of old girlfriends, friends and relatives who turned you on to Pat ...

Pat's eighth album, but only the third as PMG.

This tune is in a kind of samba beat -- definitely a Brazilian feel -- and features a simple, long hushed vamp which culminates in a Mays solo (synth-harmonica), followed by a long solo by Pat on his synth-guitar.
