I think it might’ve been helped if they went to the chorus after the first verse, but still……. I don’t hear a single there. I would’ve released a third single: either Who, or Anywhere You Run to. It’s unlikely that anywhere would’ve done anything but, it does have a quirky sound that sometimes clicks on top 40. I think Who had a chance….. There are people that think in your arms should’ve gotten out as a 45, but I think it was a little too cloying and it just doesn’t work for me on a level that I could say, “that’s a radio single. “
I really believe never say I don’t love you, if it got on some playlists, would have hit. Against it is the fact that it’s a very laid-back record, but I still would definitely have given it a shot. When I saw the 45 of what you gave me, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Then I never even considered that anyone anywhere ever would think that that is going to get on a radio playlist. I don’t mind it on the album, but the world would’ve survived without it completely.
