This tune is one of my all-time favourites from The Clash, which makes it one of my all-time favourites full stop.

A largely undiscovered jewel, the lyrics are poetic, atmospheric and beautifully poignant. The music combined with Mick's voice is so soulful ... yearning but comforting, this song fills me with indescribable emotions every time I listen to it ...

One of the most beautiful Clash songs, only London Calling surpasses it in my opinion.

P.S. "I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend, the city casts a shadow, will I see you again?"

This lyric has to be one of the most touching ever, especially the way Mick sings it.
