Informations

It's regularly played live since 1996.

The song was written for Casanova. But in the end it didn't feature the album. This gave Neil the idea of recording an album with a real orchestra, as it reminded him of Burt Bacharach's songs. [1]

Being a single, there was a video of the song directed by Toby Arnold.

It's not about a man who cannot tell a woman he loves her. It's about her not believing him.

The song was covered in Portuguese, by the Portuguese singer Miguel Angelo, under the title Toda A Gente Sabe Que Te Amo.
