It’s one of Extreme’s signature love songs.

At the time, there weren’t any rock guitarists using that acoustic technique of sharply striking the backbeats on two and four, so it quickly became popular.

Since it’s an acoustic tune, it’s easy for pop fans to enjoy as well.

Gary Cherone’s high vocals are just wonderful.

You might sense it from the atmosphere of the track, too.

In short, two people meet again and fall in love, but as they look back on the past, they realize their relationship is beyond repair now.

The story suggests that changes in their circumstances and money drove them apart.

The sentimental style pairs beautifully with the male–female duet, making it a very pleasing listen.
