Songfacts®:

  • KE frontman Howard Jones sings here about a love that has left him, and his curse is that he cannot be with her. The video, directed by Lex Halaby, plays out a rather mystical storyline, but the band's guitarist, Adam Dutkiewicz, has a much more grounded interpretation of the song. "That's just about chicks," he said in his Songfacts interview. "A lot of Howard's songs are about girls. It's always a topic guys can relate to."

  • David from TexasThis is a great website! I always thought there was a website like this but I barely looked for it today. Nice. This is a great underrated song. "There is love, burning to find you" makes me think of me and my wife and how while my love for her isn't always there but I stay with her and let the possibility of true love burn to find her again one day.
