The Shadow Left By The Moon Ross used to just play this song by himself and he considered dropping the song, saying it just put people to sleep. With the arrangement, and especially the organ and April's vocal parts, the song really came to life. On the bass, I borrowed at least one lick from Donovan and another from Barry Manilow. In a session once, I playfully described the organ intro as "Hello, I'm an organ. You'll be hearing more from me later in the song. Well, bye!". April was going for the vocal effect she liked so much in the Olivia Newton-John and John Denver song "Fly Away".
