So it can't be a pop song then? Wink
Well, seriously I don't care much whether it's a pop song or not, it's a song and it is head and shoulders over Moonlight Shadow.

A very nice song. Always loved it, right form when I first heard it as a kid, but not his very best.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I agree. 

"Wonderful land" is a great song too.

No, but your post did prompt me to listen to it for the first and last time.

Here are the two I mentioned that I prefer to Moonlight Shadow, though they obviously would not have existed without it

First with Barry Palmer



This with Anita Hegerland (his wife at the time) and Aled Jones
