The story of the song's production is almost as famous as the track itself. Orzabal and Curt Smith were feeling disillusioned with their synth-pop roots when they heard performing in a Kansas City hotel bar in 1985. Her soulful voice was the missing piece; Orzabal described hearing her as a "eureka moment" that reawakened his belief in music's power. Visual and Musical Impact
