In 1987 I have to admit I bought the first Terence Trent D'Arby album. Well it was huge. And Wishing Well was such a big song. And my girlfriend liked it. It was the time and Terence was pretty cool. I had a convertible. I drove down Chapel street a lot and ate at South Yarra restaurants. I lived in Elwood in this small pad that looked out across the bay if you looked really hard. But the suburb only had a few things going for it which was a 7-11 and a record shop.
Times change and after Terence's huge first album he made a second which kind of destroyed his career. Or maybe he was just too pretty. I bought the second album as a cassette in Thailand and I never ever got past the first side because it was so sleep inducing. He released other stuff but no one was listening,
Then in 1993 he released this ripper of a song. A great little single. It rocks and had this great film clip which is impossible to find on the net which I find remarkable. And when she kisses him "there" where exactly is "there"?
Anyway it was a favourite of mine from those early days of the Lizard. Tonight I had the iTunes DJ on and it popped up. I'd almost forgotten it.
