I know I heard it numerous times when I was a kid, but somehow unlike every other soft-rock song that imprinted on my brain from that time period for better or usually worse, I had absolutely no memory of it until I heard it again for the first time 6, maybe 7 years ago on an oldies station, and had an instant Proustian "whoa!" moment.
Funny thing was, even as I enjoyed the instant nostalgia rush the song provided, I was lukewarm on it as a song: seemed too strident. And yet I kept hearing it after that on other oldies stations and each time it sounded better and better and eventually I fell madly in love with the thing.
I've actually come to prefer the flop disco remix though. Maybe I just wore the original out, but I felt the remix gave it a back a little bit of that Neil darkness. Speaking of which, the "Comes A Time" studio version is my least favorite of his takes on the song. I far prefer the live versions he did, especially the one on "Live Rust", which sounds more upbeat as if he was influenced by the Nicolette version, as well as the one from the NYC stand of the '76 tour, which has a real anguished late-night feel to it, especially when he moans "How much does it cost" on the bridge.
I bought her debut several years ago but still haven't sat down to listen to it.
