1. Important Song For Us

It's in the Top 5 favorite songs ever for both my wife & I. We listened to Songs From The Big Chair at least a hundred times.
When we had our 25th anniversary party, my band learned this because my wife wanted it for the party. Oddly, I didn't play keys on this. We did it as a 2 guitar song. We paired it with Anetican Girl by Tom Petty, going right from the end of one to the opening riff which I played on a Tele.
A few years later, I came up with a 12 string solo acoustic version.
When my piano finally gets professionally tuned (Friday), I might even do a jazz piano version of it.
The song has enough personal importance to me.
