From a river to a sea - Private Lives

It's a mystery to me why this single didn't do better in the Eighties. Released in 1984, Private Lives' 'From a river to a sea' is a beautiful track, driven by a catchy guitar hook and fiery backing vocals. John Adams' voice shines like a diamond and the whole thing is just delicious.

Private Lives only managed one hit, 'Living in a world (turned upside down)', and even that one didn't reach the higher regions of the UK singles chart. Something really went wrong back then...
