Mike Scott's "A Man Is in Love" appears on Room to Roam, the fifth Waterboys album, which Ensign released in Britain on 17 September 1990. The record was made at Spiddal House in Galway, the same place some of Fisherman's Blues came from, and it kept on down that album's folk-rock road; the band wouldn't travel it again until Universal Hall in 2003. Its title came from a passage in George MacDonald's Phantastes.
It turned out to be a closing chapter. Fiddler Steve Wickham, a big reason the Waterboys had gone folk in the first place, left shortly before the album came out, and after a brief tour with a sound closer to their early Big Music rock, the band broke up.
