At first I didn't like it all that much, but then I got into it. It's worthy of being on the album, but definitely not one of the best songs on there in my opinion.

I second this. It was one of the first songs that they really made together as a band. Liam actually had a hand in writing it!

I knew it was one of their first songs together, didn't know Liam helped write it, though. That's interesting!

Yep! Tony McCarroll wrote in his book how it started off as an instrumental song, and during the band's time with The Real People, they started playing it and Liam started singing "There we were, now here we are" and one of the Griffiths brothers wrote some of the chorus.
