The Waking Hours were asked to record a version of this Monkees/Neil Diamond classic, probably because they didn't want to pay for the rights to use Smashmouth's version - or the Monkees version (just a guess here!)

Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch
XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
