The most striking track from this filler filled mess of funk, reggae and delicate balladry. The song stands out from the start with a touching piano progression that sounds like the theme tune to a primetime soap opera like Days of our Lives. The doubling of a fender Rhodes and a synthesiser makes for a subtly affecting motif that recalls crashing waves and an ocean breeze that is a nice bed for Jaggers' signature style of meandering storytelling. Here he seemingly describes getting over an ex whilst in a drugged out haze of touring and traveling and carries a ghostly chorus that explicitly states this, it also sounds enough like the album's other haunting ballad Fool to Cry.
The best part undoubtedly is when the song picks up briefly with Keith coming in on lead vocals repeating the immortal words of "She gotta mind of her own and she use it well; she's a one of kind". The song along Hand of Fate are the only rewarding tracks from the transitional Black and Blue album.
