I don't think we've had this one yet, and I'm listening to 'Roll Away' as I'm typing this . So, which of these two songs will come out on top?
... Think it could be a close call, but I'll let you decide!
As for my choice, as much as I love them both, 'Roll Away' just has the edge for me

I listened to 'A Very Fine Love' a lot recently. 'Roll Away' is a rare reflective Dusty song that is not about love. It really suits the older Dusty. I love it. So that's my choice.

'Something in your eyes' for me....why it wasn't a HUGE hit?
'Roll away' is not a song that's stood the test of time, and for me at least is one of the weakest songs on 'A very fine love'

I really have to disagree here, both are fine songs but I feel Something In Your Eyes is too Carpenterish.
Roll Away is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard - the lyrics are just great and it would have been nice if the single had charted highly for Dusty, a weak song? I don't think so!!!! |

IMO, it's a difficult call, I never put the two songs together. I think I have to with Something In Your Eyes.
Karl what is wrong with the Carpenters?

I never said there was anything wrong with them but much as I like that song I felt it was really written for Karen and every time I listen to it I can imagine her singing it.
Somehow I felt Richard Carpenter gave it to Dusty as Karen was no longer there to sing it herself, I may be wrong but that's how I felt about it. |

I go with 'Something In Your Eyes'..
I also think it could have been a hit song for Dusty.
'Roll Away' is lovely but I think the meaning is too 'deep' for it to have mass appeal.

Difficult to choose between them but I think 'Roll Away'just shades it for me.A poignant song reflecting on life,s mysteries and also one of the last recordings Dusty made.
