About the song[]
Written by Duran Duran, the song was co-produced by Warren Cuccurullo and Nick Rhodes' TV Mania. The recording was a departure from previous album material, where production was always credited to Duran Duran plus any outside producers. This reflected Simon Le Bon's decreasing involvement in the songwriting, recording and mixing process at the time.
The style of music straddles between a ballad and an uptempo track, which features strong vocals from Simon Le Bon. According to the Miscellaneous Lists Compiled By Nick Rhodes the band have never performed the song live.

Lyrics[]
At the end of the rainbow found each other there Strange we never thought the colors would fade Be easy to walk but it's much harder to stay Why, oh why are we reckless today? You and I got to hold on together cause in this life Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever Could say that I'm sorry but there's no one to blame Anger seems to dissolve into tears Been so many good times not only despair Somehow we'll find the love we can share You and I got to hold on together Cause in this life maybe the sun doesn't shine forever You and I make this life for each other Cause I believe we've got enough for when the sun doesn't shine You and I got to hold on together Cause in this life maybe the sun doesn't shine forever
