So much of David has been analyzed by his success and its opposites. This song written in 1988 has been described as a very dark lament about his lack of a muse and his inability to tap into something brilliant. I listen to this David and hear the painful sounds of a man who needs someone to love him. This song is his lonely heart, his stark desire to be loved in return, not adulated as an icon. Well, he knew some special someone was coming. But she was taking her time. 1990 produced the miracle of happiness  David Robert Jones had been waiting for all his life: Iman with the promise of Lexie in her kiss.
David's genius has always been about LOVE.
