Album: Chinatown (1980)

Songfacts®:

  • Running 5:11, this Phil Lynott composition is the opening track on the 1980 Chinatown album, and is a good example of melodic rock comes, with expressive harmonies with overdubs of Phil's voice, and the trademark Thin Lizzy duel lead.

    The Chinatown album wasn't well received; among the critics to dismiss it was Greg Prato, who described is as a letdown. >>

  • John from Los AngelesI recommend that people put this song on each and every exercise playlist they have. It's incredibly inspiring. Especially good for runners. Opening guitar riff will get you going for sure.
