This song was released in late 1989, and peaked at #12 in the Aus charts on June 3, 1990. (Just look at those other tracks in the chart then - what a time, what memories. Heart's All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You at #2 could almost qualify for a place in my lists, somewhere).
For me, it became the anthem for a dear friend who I knew too briefly, who died in a car accident a few months later, at the age of 19.
The song has an autumnal, golden feel - as seen in the video - about the end of youth, the loss of innocence and the everlasting power some memories hold. It was released at the end of hair metal and right before the beginning of something much darker in so many ways; musically, socially and culturally.
Allmusic says vocalist Sebastian Bach's "over the top delivery" makes listening to this song a "guilty pleasure".
While Bach was reported to act out a psychopathic aggression on stage, he had the physical beauty of a supermodel in his youth. See for yourself here.
