There was a time
when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day
when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you

Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried
to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy
just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do
with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back,
kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you

Now you're not hard to understand
You need someone to take your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried
to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy
just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

John Farrar の出世作であり、Olivia にとっても代表作の一つと言える曲です。
これは万人に愛される曲ですね。
彼女のベスト盤に必ず収められるのも頷けるものがあります。
親しみやすいメロディー、分かりやすい曲展開、後半のドラムスの盛り上がりもよいと思います。
肝心のボーカルは最高のパフォーマンスとは言い難いですが、無難なテイクが使われています。
