The reason I love his MTV Unplugged performance of this song is because he sings the song so delicately, atypical of the way he tends to sing his other tunes, and it's so sweet the way he sings half of the song with his eyes closed, and the way he moves his hands so poetically is almost evocative of a Broadway showtune, only with less theatrics and more thoughtfulness, plus it's so cute how he stands up and checks out what everyone else is doing on stage during the vocal break. That was a run-on sentence. Thankfully, you can watch the clip HERE!

I did omit You Wear It Well, but I just listened to it a couple of times to compensate for my oversight! I totally know what you mean - even though Rod comes across as cheesy (especially in the 80s leg of his career) his songs often do tell interesting stories, and listening to his songs reminds me of my childhood (he was so heavily played on the radio). Reason to Believe also makes me sad; I'll always look back fondly on his performance of the tune on MTV Unplugged - a great presentation of a great song! Good call Sandie!

It's so sad! For some reason makes me think of situations where I'd wish I'd stood up for myself but didn't. But I didn't see you mention "Wear it Well." That's a good one! The older I get the more I like Rod Stewart but I still hang onto the belief that he's a corny old bastard. I feel so depressed when I hear “Reason to Believe.” It’s so sad!
