I thought, "this could be strange" because he had always been the man in charge. Was he going to let go of the reins? How hard was that going to be? But it was fine - he obviously put his two cents in. When asked what song of his he felt was a "hidden gem" and that people should listen to, Harley replied: "Oh, that's a good question! A hidden gem? There's a song called "A Friend for Life", which I sang today. It touches people of a certain age. A lot of my audience are grandparents, 50s and 60s. It touches them.

A Friend for Life live versions have been A Friend for Life officially, including on 's Acoustic and Pure: Live[16] 's Anytime! In a review of Anytime! Upon release, The Sunday Express said in a review of The Quality of Mercy album: "A genuine Seventies pop maverick, Harley has evolved into a highly-literate and intimate balladeer. Carol Clerk of Classic Rock commented: " The Quality of Mercy is brimful of songs that are intensely personal and sometimes harrowing but, musically, very approachable. Here, Harley surveys his reality as a middle-aged father hoping his year marriage will A Friend for Life the empty- nest crisis. Still, the bright up-tempos of "The Last Goodbye" and the lovely, gentle melodies that carry "Journey's End A Father's Promise " and "A Friend for Life" offset the deep anxieties at the heart of the lyrics. In a review of the band's concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in Maythe Liverpool Echo commented that the song was "one of [Harley's] most beautiful heart-felt ballads".

Steve Harley - one of the most underrated songwriters, good old Steve. Just a bit! Rod really nails it in his old soul voice. Good A Friend for Life Rod. Speaking to The Leader in NovemberHarley spoke again of Stewart's version: "Rod's one of the great song writers. I offered it to him over 10 years ago and he didn't get it, but now he's had these two lovely boys with Penny Lancaster and he gets it because it's a difficult lyric about children growing up and leaving the nest. I thanked him by buying him a fish supper A Friend for Life a very expensive A Friend for Life in Mayfair.
