The title cut was the second (first being "Say You, Say Me") biggest single from the album, reaching #2 in the U.S. and #7 in the UK. (Blender magazine also labeled the title song at #20 as one of the "50 Worst Songs Ever".) Other Top 10 singles from the album include "Love Will Conquer All" (U.S. #9, UK #45) and "Ballerina Girl" (U.S. #7, UK #17). The song "Deep River Woman" reached #10 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart and features guest vocals by the popular country group Alabama.[1]

The album's proposed original title before its release was "Say You, Say Me".

A ceiling (pronounced /ˈsiːlɪŋ/) is an overhead interior surface that covers the upper limit of a room. It is generally not a structural element, but a finished surface concealing the underside of the floor or roof structure above.

Ceilings are classified according to their appearance or construction. A cathedral ceiling is any tall ceiling area similar to those in a church. A dropped ceiling is one in which the finished surface is constructed anywhere from a few inches to several feet below the structure above it. This may be done for aesthetic purposes, such as achieving a desirable ceiling height; or practical purposes such as providing a space for HVAC or piping. An inverse of this would be a raised floor. A concave or barrel shaped ceiling is curved or rounded, usually for visual or acoustical value, while a coffered ceiling is divided into a grid of recessed square or octagonal panels, also called a lacunar ceiling. A cove ceiling uses a curved plaster transition between wall and ceiling; it is named for cove molding, a molding with a concave curve.[1]
