    If this magnificent Duo ever reads this, I wish to share my gratitude for their graceful return to bless us all with the Magic they call music & lyrics ... welcome back home dear ones. You were sorely missed as deeply as the sounds you convey for us all to dip into again. 🙏THANK YOU.
  • I guess what makes me most happy about this is that they are still together, and they still love working and being together. The fact that I still love their music doesn't hurt, lol.

    This is proof for all of us who are the same age as this magnificent duo that we are all still alive. Older, wiser a bit worn but still living and making the best lives we can. Thank you EBTG, we still need you!

    Tracey has a voice that can make a grown man cry even if she’s singing from the telephone book.
  • Tracey’s voice has matured like the finest of wines. I’ve loved these guys from the Cherry Red days to now.

    What a great video - no auto tune, no incessant flashing lights, no background dancers. Just a casual, chill session by an awesome duo. Tracey's vocals are so finely tuned.

    Discovered EBTG in 83 or 84, and was transfixed. Now all these years later I look around and see that so many others see what I do too. Isn't it just a wonderful feeling? So glad to see them back!
  • What a performance, beautifully understated, her voice is so gorgeous and the atmosphere created is sublime
  • @daipearmain
    There's something about this song that just stays with you. It reminds me of the first time I heard Driving, and Talk To Me Like The Sea.. and of course, Missing
  • @Steve-bo6ht
    You simply can't argue Tracey & Ben have written the most astonishing tracks over the years and posses an incredible talent to project images through the power of music.
  • Goosebumps all over ; what a stunning song and performance; Tracy’s voice wow

    I fell in love with EBTG in 1990 while on tour with my own band. During the long hours traveling, we would all share music we had brought along with each other, and our bass player had a copy of The Language of Life. I basically "took it away from him". All I wanted to do on that tour was listen to that CD over and over again. While we were going down the road the other guys in the band were playing various songs on the stereo system, but I had my little portable CD player and my headphones on listening to Driving and all the other incredible song on that album. It was transformative for me because I had never heard a voice like Tracy's before or since. I am so grateful to be able to hear this wonderful musical treasure making music again. I feel like I am late to the party, and almost embarrassed I have not discovered this newest offering until now. Thank you Tracy and Ben for all the years of joy and musical inspiration you have given me and everyone who loves your music. I miss you. To echo an earlier comment, we ALL still need you. In fact the whole world needs you!

    I'm so happy to see both of these people being their genuine selves and not trying to look like they did in the 90s. Time has taken its toll on all of us, but it's also given us gifts. This video reminded me of that fact and I'm grateful.

    Nice to know there are still true artists in our era.
  • All true fans will appreciate not only the comeback but the ability to constantly produce timelles classics. ❤
  • @melaniewr
    Her voice is just as perfect as I remember as a teenager
  • @mankin49
    This for me is the song of the year.
  • @jeanwesleynew
    Used to listen to EBTG a lot in '93/'94. Finally encountered this song. Seeing the change between the two era's really lays out my own life in front of me. It's been a while.

    It moves me so deeply to see you two ageing in such a natural and pleasant way and stay so young and timeless in your music. Walking wounded, Temperamental and Fuse: Three soundtracks of my life.
  • What I love about this song is how the lyrics reflect this inflated optimism, bragging, breaking rules, etc, and yet the delivery is so thoughtful and almost pained at times, then slowing into beautiful softness and the echoes of loops at the end. It's so many things at once. Poised and brilliant, shot through with a ton of hopes and dreams.
