A re-recording appeared as a B-side to the " Out in the Fields" double single and 12" by Gary Moore and Phil Lynott in 1985.Īfter Lynott's death, the touring version of Thin Lizzy performed the song as a duet in 2011–12, with vocals shared between keyboard player Darren Wharton and frontman Ricky Warwick.Īllmusic's review of the song says it "is widely considered to be Thin Lizzy's greatest, most romantic ballad." Live versions of the song were also released as the b-side of the "Thunder and Lightning" single in April 1983, and as one of four tracks on the 12" release of "Dedication" in 1991. The song is usually played in the key of A minor but Thin Lizzy often down-tuned half a step when playing live for a heavier live sound, as is the case for the double live album, Live and Dangerous, making the actual key a concert pitch A flat minor. The song was featured as a set-closer in the band's live shows and became a showcase for each of the band's subsequent guitarists, including Moore (who rejoined and replaced Robertson) and John Sykes, featuring in their live set until the band split in 1983. Despite this, Robertson would go on to consider "Still in Love with You" his signature song, and would not let it be removed from the band's setlist. However, Robertson refused to similarly re-record Moore's guitar solo, believing that it could not be improved upon.
Originally, the song was a duet between Lynott and Moore (as can be heard on an early BBC session recording), but following Moore's departure Scottish singer Frankie Miller was recruited to replace his vocal parts. On his video, Still in Love with the Blues, Robertson described the song as "a slow blues". The group returned to Saturn Sound in October to add overdubs. Manager Chris O'Donnell later said he lied to the Phonogram representatives, saying Robertson (then aged 17) played the solo instead of Moore. "Still in Love with You" was one of the demos that secured the group's contract with Phonogram Records in summer 1974, by which time Moore had been replaced by guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham. Moore left the band the following month, and the song ended up being credited on Nightlife to Lynott alone. Moore later said the song was a combination of two pieces Lynott's "Still in Love With You" with his "I'll Help You See It Through", which he had been working on for some years. The studio version was recorded at Saturn Sound Studios, Worthing, West Sussex in March 1974, with Phil Lynott on vocals and bass, Gary Moore on guitar and Brian Downey on drums.
