A nother depressing entry, although it is sympathetic to the extent that it seeks to console another male brokenheart. The real surprise here is the flip side, "Lying to Yourself," which sounds like a leftover from the superior Asia sessions. Cowritten by Steve Howe, it's a little poppy but the guitar work is terrific, similar to late-period Yes. A 12-inch, which was made available in red vinyl, included the album track "Midnight Sun."
