"I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles flight"
This very distinctive and catchy song was a UK #1 in 1990, and also a US hit.
Her "Great Expectations" album, from which this came, is actually REALLY good. I'd reccomend it to anyone. The followup single "In Your Care" was a really harrowing piece about Tasmins experience of being sexually abused by her father. Naturally it was not a hit, but kudos to her for being brave enough to release it, and it's a very powerful song.
"Son of a bitch you broke my heart I need a little loving to take away the pain How could you let me down? I was in your care"

I heard this song recently on a compilation CD that contains, among others, a-ha's rendition of "Crying In The Rain". And some ballad by the group Living In A Box, who charted in 1987 with a song of the same title.

I remember liking the clip that always got played on the BBC Top 5 on Joel Denver's Future Hits, and then when it finally came over to the U.S. awhile later and was big here, I was really surprised.

This was a good song. What happened to her? Her second album 'Bloom' absolutely bombed. She hasn't been seen since.

This is one of the first songs I remember being big when I was very little, I heard it around a lot. Always been fond of it. I've always thought it was about an unplanned pregnancy.

A European #1 hit in 1992. Flawless.

The lines ‘Have we got what it takes to advance?’ and ‘Have we peaked too soon?’ make me think it’s about inertia or losing our sense of wonder about the universe. Still it’s not a simple enough song to have been a bigger hit imo but it’s a real piece of art and a definitive 90s lost one hit wonder.
