Well. Those were certainly words.
I have to admit, in real time during the 80's I didn't care for a lot of the synth pop action... but with 30+ years of time and nostalgia, I'm digging it now
First time I have ever heard this song and, if the Gods smile on me, the last as well.
What a SONG... oh my
...Butterflies and all !

It would seem that the concept of a metaphor is lost in your comment and/or perhaps you've never been "crushed" by a failing of love in some way. I've seen a number of poetic compositions that don't come nearly as close as this does... imho
And I could only watch
As the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn
Crushed like the flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings
Oh, please.

Give me Deliverance.
Not the best from this album, and not their best work by far but by God it brings back memories.
Play Tower of Strength Bill, please
Play Tower of Strength Bill, please

Such a great band, not their finest track, but love it all the same
Man - the recording quality is awful. Compressed and poor frequency extremes.
time has not been kind to this one, I find this terrible. see every 80's movie sad teenager in love montage

Kinda, yeah. Definitely 80s-era. Can't remember hearing this back in the day. Interesting that Bill put this in a 7-year deep freeze until this year.
10/12/17 edit: sounds like Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen apart from the chorus. Still works for me as a new 80s flashback.
Sounds like the singer from Ultravox to me.

It must be decades ago I heard this song!! Brings up memmory's of a concert of The Cure in Thialf, Heerenveen (Netherlands) where The Mission also played. Nice.....
Excellent - under appreciated classic. More Mission please!
Sounds like the singer from Ultravox to me.
I would love to hear peoples comments to other songs by the Mission. Perhaps not the more obvious ones but some stuff like 'Afterglow' is a really well produced. Well worth a listen.
until I checked the playlist, I thought this was an Echo and the Bunnymen song I'd never heard before...
I am confused -- wasn't pink floyd just on? and david bowie too?
and now this?
what a mood buster.
This was a High School makeout song for me, and I haven't heard it since that one particular night 15 years ago. What a blast from the past!
His voice is certainly compelling. Sounds almost like they're trying for a 10-CC, Collective Soul kind of layered complicated sound; but they don't do it as well or as interestingly as those earlier guys.
Trying to like it. Just can't. Yuk. Is this from the '80s? That would certainly explain it.

Oh yeah! You got my vote on this one.
"Love breaks the wings of a butterfly"? lololol
How about "Love makes God kill kittens"? Or maybe "Love is worse than Hitler"?

sounds like you are a big fan. Itunes only have one album a live (ever after) . Do you recommend it? or should go for a best of? if there is such a thing?

Today is my last working day in the company I spent the last 8 years of my life... Next Tuesday a new chapter...
Listening Space Oddity, Learning to fly and Butterfly on a wheel makes me shiver and puts me in a special mood.
Thanks Bill and RP for the soundtrack for these days.
Saludos,

I don't care I don't care I don't care if you're Madonna or Cher....
