Reasons*****[4:54](M.White, C.Stepney,P.Bailey): Few words can do justice in describing this ballad. In the three previous EW&F albums, Bailey delivered with folk and gospel. This time the mood is more quixotic. Set to a moderately slow tempo, with luscious strings, alluring horns, and attractive keyboarding.
The clincher is Bailey's sensuous falsetto lead vocals. One can feel just what changes are occuring as he changes the tone of his voice. From the tension in the beginning; to the incidental hook as it occurs; culminating with the discovery of what it is he really feels. This is a true masterpiece.
