Roger Glover was right, DC’s barebones Fender Rhodes piano playing for T&A (no, for once in connection with WS that is NOT the abbreviation for tits & ass, I just hate how you guys all think …) gave the song additional emotional impact, it sounded like he was alone in a hotel room with headphones plugged into the Rhodes composing a love song for Julia. The new remixes with strings or exquisitely embellished acoustic piano all sound great, make no mistake, but not as intimate. But then Julia has long left his life too.
For someone who prides himself on how organic and passionate he is, DC is a real stickler in the studio. He overproduces things in search of that all-encompassing sonic masterpiece and the end result then suffers for lack of immediacy – it is why all WS studio albums since Slide It In have sounded so bloated.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing

nothing compared to the 50 or so guitar tracks overdubbed by Paige on the album with DC!
