This song always makes me think of my late father, who I dearly miss. We lost him March 2023. Every day I just wish I could talk to him one more time and tell him "Thank you" 😢 He was 86 and had a fantastic life and was an amazing father and life coach. ❤
I'm new to this song. Today ( Wed May 15 2024) is the first time I'm listening to this song and i'm so in love with this song. I'm so glad im here because some songs you listen to it for the first time and know you'll make memories with it that'll last you a lifetime ❤
Nothing on the charts today comes even close to this standard quality and feeling in music. A very beautiful and touching song from Oleta from 1991. Always x.
@@meltewani ...co-produced... This song is a cover of the original one, sung and written by legendary 'Brenda Russel'. It's from her album with the same name 'Get Here' released in 1988!!! ua-cam.com/video/hkrdXGLkQtg/v-deo.html
Its a Brenda Russel original but her version became more famous back in the 90's . I like her voice and the arrangement of the instruments specially the Bass and the piano . Give me goosebumps until now 2024
I was 20 when this song was released and am 50 now and its still one of my favourite ever songs. It will be my first dance song when I marry in June 2022 in Greece. Thank you Oleta!
Congratulations 🎉 hope all goes well on your special day .. same here I am 50 and still with my beautiful partner after all these years .. she is my rock xx
This lady wipes the floor with most other female singers. She is quite exceptional. Such a wonderful song, and such a mega performance by this beautiful woman.
Never stopped listening to Oleta “”there are times in your life you need these songs 😢then you look 👀 back and thank the big man you lived the best time especially musically 🎉😅❤❤
I have always loved this song. When I was a young boy in the early 90's, this song played on the radio quite often. Now that I'm in a position where the only person I love is in a different country to where I am, this song has gained so much meaning. With us in the midst of Covid-19 and not knowing what the future holds, I have never missed anyone like I do right now. For a guy that is usually very hard and generally has no emotion, listening to this song now is bringing tears to my eyes. I miss you so much baby. Hope I get to see you soon.
I can't describe the emotions I'm feeling while listening to this amazing song right now !! I went back to my youth time in an instant !! It means so much !! And this is a song that will never be forgotten !!
This song is dedicated to my soulmate, the one definitely made for me. Whoever you are, i'm here, patiently waiting for you, so....please get here if you can.
This song and the way Oleta sings it is a miracle. She is so so special. It never fails to bring me to tears of happiness. What a talent! And very beautiful! I wish I could have found someone with such depth of feeling in my life!
John, do not give up on searching this woman, maybe she is still waiting for you arround any corner, If you want to talk, when you want to talk, please, write me on my email. amoretzzon@yahoo.com.br. big hugs from Brazil.
well done for putting in the effort mate.. Reminds me of a tour of Afghanistan ... Constantly played by the medics at Bastion when we brought in """9""" liners.
You can reach me by railway You can reach me by trailway You can reach me on an airplane You can reach me with your mind You can reach me by caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can You can reach me by sailboat Climb a tree and swing rope to rope Take a sled and slide down the slope Into these arms of mine You can jump on a speedy colt Cross the border in a blaze of hope I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over If I had my way, surely you would be closer I need you closer [x2] You can windsurf into my life Take me up on a carpet ride You can make it in a big balloon But you better make it soon You can reach me by caravan Cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can I don't care, I don't care I need you right here right now I need you right here right now Right by my side yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Get here I don't care how you get here Just get here if you can
I discovered accidentaly this masterpiece, my mind is just blown away, there's sooo much gooood music,hiden gems like this one and another tens of thousands maybe,they just wait for each and everyone of you to discover,bless you all
I'm here. A big fan ! Always. I've just sent the lyrics to my wife ... Wonderful song. Wonderful voice. Amazing video & lyrics. I'll always love you ... 4 ever & ever.
Her version is the best❤❤❤❤❤❤ i love it. Soulful song...the ending is the best part of the song OMG. This song is killing me softly❤❤❤❤❤❤ good job Oleta
Reminds me of a one night stand with a beautiful man summer 1991 the light was coming through the blinds he was making breakfast and put this amazing tune on! I was 20 he was 34 .... It was a one nighter as I was not ready to settle!! Now at 50 I look back with warm memories and no regrets as it was a life experience
This song was playing when I was flying from Mexico to Cote Ivoire (Africa) to see my german girlfriend. I think I was 30 by that time, now I am 53. I was sitting on the upper deck on Business class of a Jumbo 747-400 having a delicious South African cup of white wine. I was watching the sea of lights of Mexico City thru the window. We were supposed to meet and decide the rest of our lives together.... sadly it didt happened. Our relationship took different roads. The lirics of this song is so ad-hoc to the circumstances by that time. I can listen to it endlessly and feel that same moment in the air.... Just, Getting There !!
Me, @ Kevin G. Wow, You ae clearly an ear of qualified soundmanship! So pleased you feel the same; emotion. performance, vocal subtlety and a fine Alro supremo when Ms. Oleta Adams really 'belts it out' with so much passion and personal association. Listen to the the key-changes in finale in perfect pitch. What awonderful woman, artist and voice. Thank you. P;rua Adams from ALL of us who have heard you. The best is yrt to come. P.E.S.P.E.C and gratitude from ALL Aftica. Youtr friend, Douglas
I rem this being played on radio when gulf War happened my son was in Afghanistan and its the song that made me think of him and be strong helped me through every night worrying luv it but God love the other mothers worrying strong song !! Xx
This reminds me of being a kid hearing the advert with Linda Bellingham (rip). Oleta Adams surely must have one of, if not the most powerful voice that matches perfectly with this track.
Astoundingly good voice. Loved Oleta's voice from the first time I heard it nearly 30 years ago. Oleta could sing the phone book and make it sound fantastic.
Sem palavras para definir tanta sensibilidade e talento. Ouvi tantas e tantas vezes esta linda canção em meados de 1996... Em São Paulo, num quarto onde meu pensamento transportava-me para momentos tão bonitos de minha vida. O frio, a chuva... Tudo era poesia. As pessoas distraídas, outras apressadas a seguirem suas vidas. Em meio a tantas pessoas, lá estava eu... Um desconhecido a guardar tantos momentos.
Hola hace mucho tiempo que no la escuchaba es un tema sensacional ✨ que enamora a cualquiera su vos es terrible es una sensación desesperante creo que el amor me está esperando en cualquier lugar si Dios lo permite 💪💖🌠
This song is beyond a shadow of doubt a masterpiece. Still gives me goosebumps to this day. Still listening in 2023 and beyond.
I feel you man. Still here for it💥💥

Thank you
Oleta Adams, is what made Tears for Fears track Woman in Chains, so recognisable 40 years after it was released. Oleta's vocal range and control is sublime!
Listen to the Tears for Fears song 'Me and My Big Ideas'. An even better song imho. Roland Orzbal also produced this album.
This song always makes me think of my late father, who I dearly miss. We lost him March 2023. Every day I just wish I could talk to him one more time and tell him "Thank you" 😢
He was 86 and had a fantastic life and was an amazing father and life coach. ❤

Sorry for your loss, Death only ends a life, NOT a memory...take care and God bless you ❤....
Sorry for your loss MHSRIP🙏🙏
You will be reunited in the Light. It will be a celebration of the time you spent together here and soooo much more...

After all these years still a classic ❤Thank you 🎉 for the music
With this voice she should’ve been on top of the world
Oleta Adams is worth millions. I am sure she is very happy! 😊
One of the most beautiful songs of all time. If you've ever been in love, you'll feel it too

Oleta is so beautiful, with a beautiful voice and all. The 80's and 90's were the best times, and the looks of both decades were so beautiful.

Was taken aback by your comment. Then checked it out. I was 17, am 48 now. It feels like only today I heard this, not even yesterday. Thank you.
@@londoncalling151 Yes it's definitely one of those rare songs that feels like it hasn't aged.
Beautiful and Timeless 💕

You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
[x2]
You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
I don't care, I don't care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now
Right by my side yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Get here
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
John thank you so much for the lyrics
DANKE!
Ughmmmm sensual
Wow!!!
Thank you John for the lyrics

Was in high school when this song was first released, I'm glad I came across it again after all this time❤️

Speaking of blinds ...
If all the Venetian blinds people went on strike, would it be curtains for the lot of us?
Once and a while a voice comes along that just takes you to another place and this beautiful women's voice does just that......

Every time I hear this song I’m transported back in time what a beautiful song and a beautiful singer
Just for the first time in my life (34) heard this song and I am in awe. How did I not know about this amazing song
중학생때 이소라의 프로포즈에 나왔던 어느 가수가 이곡을 불렀는데 멜로디가 너무 아름다워 기억하고 있었다가 몇년뒤 이 노래를 제대로 알게되어 행복해하며 지금까지 듣고 있습니다 아름다운 곡은 절대 사라지지 않고 누군가의 마음속에 기억됩니다
NOBODY in the charts today has a voice like this! So deep and rich and full of emotion. I miss the 90s

Absolutely magnificent!! Beautiful voice.
This is one of those songs that can make my mind stop racing all over the place and make me appreciate the moment.
Still listening to this absolutely beautiful song 24/08/24 !
Astoundingly good voice. Loved Oleta's voice from the first time I heard it nearly 30 years ago. Oleta could sing the phone book and make it sound fantastic.
I remember this song. It was a Top 5 Hit in the UK & the US-Charts in 1991.
One of the best voice ever, thanks Oleta
Still one of my all-time favourites. What a VOICE
Olita has just such an amazing voice . Wow x
This is real, soul touching music. A masterpiece, from her vocals to the instrumentation. The voice reminds me of Donny Hathaway in places.
Thank you Oleta... from the bottom of my heart. God bless you!
