This song is about the love and fidelity of someone whose spouse no longer recognizes him/her due to some form of dementia. Back in the summer of 1976, I was taking care of a man, Maurice Goodridge, who had Parkinson’s disease. Occasionally he would hallucinate and not even know his own wife, Eleanor, of many, many years. She, in response to his lack of recognition, would try to jog his memory by saying, “Maurice, I’m Eleanor, your wife. I love you as you love me and that is where we both agree.” Hence, the background and opening line to this song.
The arrangement was done by Nemesh of Serbia, the backing vocals were done by Yann Marc of France, and the recording was done by Mike Clark at his studio in Amherst, New Hampshire.
