A classic tune from the British Invasion, although I think this song was more popular in Great Britain than the US. Van Morrison is in fine form on this one. 'Whoa oa yeah' (1:37). The song opens with a bang, starting off with that great ringing guitar chord and the all the guys belting it out on the chorus. The verses are choppy little two steps, the narrator telling his story of woe as his former girlfriend walks past his house with 'another guy-e-ay.' Night falls and he's all alone and imagines she is telling her new guy all the nice things she once told him.
The chorus is such a smash, the drums are fantastic, I especially like the long fill around 2:35 during the fade out. And how about the primary five note guitar riff? Classic.
