Not Given Lightly

Chris Knox , Music Video – 1989

from the album Seizure (1990)
...Chris Knox is a person who says he doesn't write love songs. But when he finally gets around to writing one, like 'Not Given Lightly', It's one of the most beautiful songs that we have.
– Songwriter Arthur Baysting, in music documentary Through the Eyes of Love (32 minutes in)
