What makes this song great is it just doesn't apply to love or relationships. It fits many situations in life. It's the mark of a classic song. Pure brilliance.
How is it possible that these guys may actually be better. The total package. Lyrics, background vocals......I wonder if they realize how lucky they are to still be able to make such good music after all these years.
Saw REO this summer and they're still GREAT! This song really speaks to me and probably touches most people because we have all been down and out at some point in our lives.
Many thanks, been searching for "bank foreclosure house" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Qenten Forecloseify Discovery - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.
They just get better and better! I don't know how they do it but they make everyone else pale in comparison! These guys are my favorite and always will be! They sound great and look great! This CD is red HOT! REO rocks! No one else even comes close!
Holy crap are they awesome. I've been a fan for 18 years and cherish their songs so much. This song is incredible, but "Love Is A Rock" is my all time favorite. :)
WOW WHAT A SONG...you guys are awsome . i loved you then and i still love you now . there is no one who can take your place.you have inspired me and multitudes of music lovers. dave thank you if there was any doubt this prooves you are a speedwagon.thank you.
Great group! I had the opportunity to see them live in concert at the San Diego County Fair on June 16th,2007. Their new album is great and sounds awesome. They still to this day sound just as they did when I got to hear them for the first time in the 80's on the radio with "Keep on Lovin' you. They sound and look great.:) Anna of Escondido, California
This song is holding strong on the AC charts at #30 still. I have emailed my local program directors trying to get airplay for it. This is a great song and needs to be heard
For the lack of descriptive words or terms in Websters Dictionary that would serve further justice, all i can come up with is... "In a vast sea of vocal artists in the black hole of the music industry universe, Kevin Cronin to this day, still remains among the top singing talents, with his voice being nothing short of magical, timeless, and mostly... Iconic..." ~ Blaise ~
I was a fan a long time ago when it was cool to be a reo fan. But after hearing this song I know I liked them not only because they were cool but because they were talented and not one ounce of that has left them with age I think its even better.This Is an amazing song!
god if i could see them perform this live. omg I also really need to hear riding the storm out, can't fight this feeling, in your letter, that ain't love, golden country, back on the road again, roll with the changes, take it on the run, omg omg THEY ARE SO FUCKING AMAZING!
It makes me sad that all the versions of this song on Youtbe collectively only have about 200,000 views. I'm not going to complain about Rebecca Black, Justin Bieber, or others, if that's what you like, that what you like. But this band deserves so many more fans than they have. I hope I either get to a gig of their's in the States, or they travel across the Atlantic soon. :)
How much cooler does it get? I new song by a Classic band. All acoustic I might add. I'm a young fan of this band. I was born over a decade after the album Ridin' the Storm Out. I listened to this album constantly growing up and well into high school. I'm 20 now. I just got The Hits Album a couple years ago and couldn't stop listening to it. Good to see they are still doing what they love. I do agree that this could be a hit if they pushed it a little.
The really need a couple of decent size markets to play it and it will soar. My radio market reaches about 1 million people and they have played it in the past but not in rotation. I keep on them however.
PickMy CockScabs wow. just noticed this "commentary." What kind of person plasters this kind of hateful, mean spirited (and dead wrong) drivel for anyone and everyone to see? You need a hobby, sir. Kevin challenger is right on.
Sad story. Hadn't seem them in many years because of their boring setlist they NEVER change. Finally they make an awesome new album. The song they're playing on the tour (with Def Leppard, my alltime favorite band) from that album happens to be this one, my favorite song from the new album. But unfortunately they had changed the song for another one from the album :( Boy was I pissed.
Snow Man yeah. would have been a huge hit in the 80's but they released the album on their own and major labels control radio. so as classic as they are, their age and their small label status, plus the fact that the album was only available at Walmart and only select locations killed the single and the album. great stuff though. hope they do another before it's too late
I can't believe I haven't been listening to these guys for a few years! Kevin Cronin's voice just gets better as he gets older... Can I get this gig on DVD or a better resolution file from somewhere? I'd love to have this whole performance so I can watch it on my TV!
Lyrics- I Needed To Fall So close to given up Never before been so broken Can I hold on long enough Are there words yet left unspoken Can I rise above the burning sea Or am I human after all Maybe I'm just higher than a man should be Maybe I needed to fall I needed to fall and come back stronger I needed to crawl to find my way And I pray we can look back on it all Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you So tired of living up To an image laid upon me Can I ever be enough It all seems so far beyond me And I take this weight upon my shoulders While I appear to stand so tall Thinking I can carry the world forever Maybe I needed to fall I needed to fall and come back stronger I needed to crawl to find my way And I pray we can look back on it all Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you There is just so much a man can bear Until he starts to find it hard to care And baby, I'm almost there I needed to fall and come back stronger I needed to crawl to find my way And I pray we can look back on it all Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you
Vocals are spot on by KC and Dave. What a lovely song with a great meaning behind it.
Beautiful song!Amazing performance! REO is timeless.❤
BRILLIANT!! They don't make them like this anymore. One of the best LIVE groups in existence.

I think "Find Your Way Home" is one of the best REO albums ever. I love it. This song especially touched me.

my Lord this is beautiful
They just get better and better! I don't know how they do it but they make everyone else pale in comparison! These guys are my favorite and always will be! They sound great and look great! This CD is red HOT! REO rocks! No one else even comes close!
They are an absolutely timeless act. Their harmonies are fantastic.
Great song - great live performance!!!
Absolutely awesome performance. Love this!
this again shows how strong vocals can keep a band alive for many years! I loved them 20yrs ago and ...today even more!
Speedwagon's Kevin songs only gets better,through the years. They come back stronger all the time,they don't need to fall.
This is a gem. I was amazed when I heard this from them. Fan for decades, and this caught me
Holy crap are they awesome. I've been a fan for 18 years and cherish their songs so much. This song is incredible, but "Love Is A Rock" is my all time favorite. :)
This song is absolutely perfect.
I just keep on lovin' REO. Another great power ballad from the band that rocks the heart.
Wonderful song guys!
Speedwagon and Kevin only get better with the years. His songs never fall.
I agree, REO has been a great band since the seventies, I bought all their "albums" and now have them all on CD. Love the guys.
WOW WHAT A SONG...you guys are awsome . i loved you then and i still love you now . there is no one who can take your place.you have inspired me and multitudes of music lovers. dave thank you if there was any doubt this prooves you are a speedwagon.thank you.

Saw them twice in concert such a great show hoping to see them again before I'm no longer around I'm 61 now
THANK YOU R E O EACH TIME I SEE N HEAR THIS IT IS BEAUTIFULL.I C A N SEE THE JOY YOU HAVE FOR MUSIC...
This song is holding strong on the AC charts at #30 still. I have emailed my local program directors trying to get airplay for it.
This is a great song and needs to be heard
I love this song. It has a very special meaning to me. They are so great; they still have it. :)
They do a superb job on stage but it is crazy cool how good they are with only acoustics.

if radio programmers would pull their head out and give the veterans a shot at the radio again..THIS would be a hit.

los mejores sin duda

They just get better in time.
PickMy CockScabs wow. just noticed this "commentary." What kind of person plasters this kind of hateful, mean spirited (and dead wrong) drivel for anyone and everyone to see? You need a hobby, sir. Kevin challenger is right on.
hit the earth a thousand miles an hour, need to find what's left of my heart.... find me!
meraviglia canzone..
Hope this is my future wedding song!
The more calls and emails they get the better. I also think the more time it spends on the charts the more stations might come around. Hopefully

It amazes me this was not a number 1 along with many songs on this record. As was said 25 years ago this would have been #1
Snow Man yeah. would have been a huge hit in the 80's but they released the album on their own and major labels control radio. so as classic as they are, their age and their small label status, plus the fact that the album was only available at Walmart and only select locations killed the single and the album. great stuff though. hope they do another before it's too late
Love ❤️
Love this song, working at playing it with some friends to get all the guitar and harmony parts down.
I can't believe I haven't been listening to these guys for a few years! Kevin Cronin's voice just gets better as he gets older...
Can I get this gig on DVD or a better resolution file from somewhere? I'd love to have this whole performance so I can watch it on my TV!
@rattrox THANK YOU!!
fucking incredible song
Amen.
A perfect rendition of this song. Better than the CD version I think.
Bela música!
reo speedwagon !!!!!!!!!genial!!!!!!!!
Lyrics- I Needed To Fall
So close to given up
Never before been so broken
Can I hold on long enough
Are there words yet left unspoken
Can I rise above the burning sea
Or am I human after all
Maybe I'm just higher than a man should be
Maybe I needed to fall
I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to crawl to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you
So tired of living up
To an image laid upon me
Can I ever be enough
It all seems so far beyond me
And I take this weight upon my shoulders
While I appear to stand so tall
Thinking I can carry the world forever
Maybe I needed to fall
I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to crawl to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you
There is just so much a man can bear
Until he starts to find it hard to care
And baby, I'm almost there
I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to crawl to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you
you're a friggin angel reincarnate. truly beutiful and true. luv ya xoxo peace.
This is how videos should be. Music by the musicians. Not some bimbo shakin the nasty with nothing to do about the music.
👍
I wonder what kind of acoustic kevin cronins playing on,anyone know.thanks
Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for this song? All I can seem to find are the chorus lyrics :(
Back during their heyday, this would have been a big hit. But it's done okay on Hot AC.
Kevin needs to shave his head though. He looks like Medusa.
does anyone know chords for this song? if someone does, pm me, please
If you still want to know 12 years later... I'll figure it out and post it here.
@Bbreeden62 I couldn't have said it better.
Whats the strumming pattern on this? I have the chords down but just can't work out the rythm
Someone knows the chords?
dont forget; Queen, Aerosmith, Ten Years After and Journey are also worse than Paramore :P
👍
