"Love My Way" is a great song, one of the best of the '80s new wave. Another song from the same album that I enjoyed was "Sleep Comes Down." It's a little, well, sleepier than "Love My Way," but has a similar feel and arrangement. The strings at the end seem to be inspired somewhat by The Beatles' "A Day in the Life."

In the YouTube comments somebody said they felt like Robert Plant was talking to God with this song. The guitar playing by Robbie Blunt is impeccable. I have always felt this song was really underrated.

It's hypnotic. Played all the time on fm radio for years & years & now seldom heard.
