Released as the B-side of the hit single "Ebb Tide," it's essentially a solo record by Bobby Hatfield (not unlike "Ebb Tide," actually). As usual, Spector uses his "Wall of Sound" production technique, surrounding Hatfield with swirling strings, plucked harps, thumping bass, heavily reverbed drums, and female backing vocals. It's no less dramatic than anything else Spector ever produced, but the feel here is even more pillowy and—dare I say it—sentimental; sonically, it's like taking a stroll through a cloud.
And there's nothing quite as soul-stirring as hearing Hatfield hit those high notes on the bridge. If you've never heard this rendition before, you'll be a convert after you hear him sing Whenever you're in sight.
