Artist: When In Rome
Hit Song: The Promise
Album: When in Rome
While everybody’s still going gaga over the song ‘The Promise’ by When in Rome back in 1988, the band’s biggest commercial hit, a friend of mine introduced me to their additional single entitled ’Heaven Knows’ in 1990 – the band’s follow up single before the group ultimately faded away. Though this song never gained that popularity it’s still one of the best for me because the melody is just right, the words and lyrics are just as poetic.
“A love you can't have
A love you can't face
A love you broke once
A love you both waste
What seemed like love
Felt like pain
Everywhere you moved
It's gonna be the same
Blame it on people
Blame it on cards
Whichever way you do
There's gonna be scars”
After this song, When in Rome, the English New Wave trio, originally consisting of vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann, and keyboards player Michael Floreale never heard from ever again…
"Heaven knows I've tried to treat you better
Heaven knows I've tried to give a little bit more
How much will it take to stay together
(Heavens knows I tried)
Heaven knows we've tried but we drifted apart
Right from the start"
