You're welcome.\n\nThis song about young love was the first US hit for Terence Trent D'Arby, who changed his name to Sananda Maitreya in 2001. \n---\nThe line, \"I want to be your midnight rambler\" is a reference to the Rolling Stones song. Says Maitreya: \"I am a disciple of The Stones and their fathers the Chicago blues. I see my work and most of rock as an evolution of the roots and branches of the urban blues.\"\n--\nMaitreya wrote this with Sean Oliver, who also played bass on the track. Oliver, who was in a band called Rip Rig & Panic with Neneh Cherry, died in 1990 from sickle-cell anemia in 1990.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
