Im an old man now.A retired Marine.I know,after having accidently run across this song while scrolling,that as soon as I listen to it now...tears will flow once again.Curse this soft heart of mine.
@Ingerul_Mortii - NO SIR! I BLESS your soft, lonely heart! I am 70, and I understand! For reasons I don't understand, I woke up today with this song running through my mind, such an earworm, making me tear up just hearing it in my mind! So, I decided I needed to pull up the song and actually listen, and then maybe the earworm will go away! Ended up blubbering! Then I read your comment! Thank you for your service, and for your soft heart!
You have served your country, do not feel this way about yourself. I have not been in your shoes. Only men OF men handle the pain, rare and few these days. How could you not know you are this man. Maybe your the number one man? You are loved, push , hard push. Win or loose who cares? Your alive, live it honorably once again.
This is one of my favorite songs. It came out when I was a senior in high school. My 38 year old son was just now walking around singing it. He asked if I knew it. I just laughed and said one of the best songs of my teen years. He said he found it by listening to David Allen Coe. I told him it brings back a sweet memory of his dad, my hubby who just passed a few months ago. But David Allen Coe didn’t write it. We just listened to the original together. I told him that his dad was supposed to go work at a plant in Beaumont, Texas when we were young and I couldn’t go because I was in nursing school…sometimes he would call and sing please come to Beaumont to live forever…I’d laugh and say..no..you come home to me! He only stayed in Beaumont a few weeks and my rambling boy did come home to Houston. We made a good life and lived happily ever after! 52 years together…
This was a special song for me and my late husband. I sang it to him as he was dying. It has been 4 years today since I lost him. I miss him and this song always makes me cry.
It hurts so bad to lose a partner. I'm so glad I was there with him in the end, I didn't think I could do it, God help me, I made it through and I don't regret it.
I’m so sorry for your profound loss. I lost my sweetheart in 2o12 and miss him only more and love him as much as ever. Beautiful song. I hope you’re managing well. Peace Colorado
I was born in Tennessee in ‘71…and until the day I pass from this life, this will be one of *the most beautiful* songs I’ve ever been blessed to enjoy. Some songs are so much more than the sum of their parts.
Today, July 12th,2024 I read that Dave Loggins passed at 76. He was in hospice carr So sad to learn of another wonderful songwriter pass away. This song always makes me think of someone I lost in college to a drunk driver. She was only 20. Imagine, Jessica Alba, Kaley Cuoco, Christina Applegate, and Jenifer Love Hewitt all rolled into one girl Thay was her. She had a smile thatcwould illuminate the darkest room. She passed in 1980. Today I m married 40 years and I love my wife to the moon and back. However, ironically today is her birthday and my mind stops and looks up to the heavens. R.I.P. Sandy.
My condolences to you. I've never heard of this song but like many, mourn the lost of great artists that etch life's memories and experiences in our hearts and minds with their gift.
Dad was a corporate pilot, as a kid he was gone a lot. But sometimes when he was home, he'd pick me up after bathtime and we'd go downstairs. Nothing sinister! We just rocked in the armchair and belted out these songs. It was the biggest happy time I remember.
Such beautiful memories you have. My Dad died 30 years ago. I miss him so much sometimes. We never had moments like that. He was an alcoholic and slept a lot, but I always wanted him to love me like that. He sobered up before he died and we spent his last 2 years of life hanging out when I wasn’t working. Simple things like hikes, walks on the beach in the fall, and then long drives when he was having a hard time breathing. I wish I had more time to get to know him. Now I’m in my late 50’s and wish I had asked him so many things. I’m hoping he’s in heaven and I will see him again.
Me too. And I agree with you. Wouldn’t trade the seventies for anything, no shootings in America like today, 5 cent candy bars, 10 cent 16oz Pepsi or coke, 9 dollar concert tickets, 7 dollar case of beer
This is still a great song to listen to even today as it was when he came out with it years ago. So easygoing and relaxing to listen to. It's sad that Dave Loggins passed away. He was a great artist and will be truly missed.
So sorry the world lost this beautiful soul. Your songs & music filled our hearts & will live on. Now you can fill the heavens with your kindness & spirit. 😥 💙🙏💙
Joe , it's that kinda - song ! It took me hostage upon its release 74 ! I hope this reply finds ya in in Good health & spiritz ! I'm Ray & 64. Best wishes to you & yours !.
This song came out when I was in the throes of heartbreak. My first husband had told me that we married too young and he wanted to date other girls. Twenty-five years later he got back in touch, but by then i was remarried with adult children. We remained friends via email until he died at 53 in 2007. It's funny but i think we always loved each other. Life really has its bittersweet moments.
I love singer-songwriters. I love beautifully written songs. I love quiet, simple songs. I love real singers and real musicians. I love singers who draw you into their stories. I love THIS song. Rest in Power Dave Loggins. Your music will live forever.
@@diva70smusic Check out DanFogelberg if you Check Dan Fogelberg if you haven’t already. Fave song of his just sent miraculously to me, called Don’t Lose Heart. 💜
@susanryan2451 Awwww. You are so sweet. If you are a boomer, we really grew up with the best music. If you are younger than a boomer, you were raised well. "Please Come to Boston" makes me stop in my tracks whenever I hear this song. I get teary-eyed eyed as well. Jim Croce brings me to tears as well.
Dave, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Paul Simon - so many great songwriters of the 70s who put today’s “musicians” to shame. RIP Dave, thanks for the memories.
This song hits me hard every time I hear it,, I am62 and the memories flood my mind,, I wish so bad that I could reach back in time and grab certain memories and make them alive again.
It seems like only yesterday it was 1974, and this song was a hit. Rest in peace Dave and thanks for this great song as we remember The Golden Year, 1974.
I never tire of listening to this man's voice. Why anyone chooses to cover Please Come to Boston, I don't know. He's the only one who can sing it like he does.
If I had known I would have driven downtown to Charlotte Ave, parked and just stood outside with my hand on the building to silently say a prayer and to say thank you. I never would have entered the building and invaded anyone's privacy. Just a goodbye from outside, close by. Then on my way back home. This song meant so much to me back in the day. Rest in peace Dave Loggins.
I'm heartbroken over the passing of such a talented songwriter and singer!! I sing this at karaoke, and it's always been a favorite song of mine!!!!! RIP 🙏🏻💔
This song woke me up out of a dead sleep back in the day! I was in love with a young artist and we were not together the night I first heard this song. Well we’ve reunited and the love is as strong as it was back in the day. Thank you Mr. Loggins for this beautiful song that has made my heart sing throughout the years.
I was a teenager when this song came out. I would wait to hear it on the radio for days on end, and then, finally hearing it, I couldn't stop singing that main chorus.... the lyrics are just so beautiful. R.I.P. to a wonderful artist who takes me back in time. ❤ 🎶
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Living the life of a drifter, chasing the dream. Everyone deserves to have someone who accepts them as they are and who loves them unconditionally. I would hope that, at the end, he goes home to her.
This was one of my mom and dad’s FAVORITE songs when I was goin up . I’m 53 yrs old and mom has been gone since 06 dad since 22 !! I STILL sing this song ALL THE TIME and think of them EVERYDAY!!! I play it on the guitar and my wife says. You LOVE that song don’t ya !!! Crazy how your mind works !!! I remember EVERY WORD of this song after all of these years and ALWAYS will !!!!
@@MalchikGuy , as in “emotional bomb”…a powerful song packing powerful emotions has to have a well composed melody. You never had a heavy experience you can relate to in a particular song that triggers strong emotional reactions? I guess I have, so the bomb analogy stays even if you cannot relate🤣
I am 62. Back when I was in the Air Force in 1981, I remember buying an album (one of those K-Tel collections) at the store on base that had this song and another song I really liked - "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones. Now both of these "one hit wonders" are gone.... but not forgotten! RIP Dave (and Benny) and thanks for the memories......
IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVE LOGGINS, THE WRITER AND PERFORMER OF: PLEASE COME TO BOSTON. ( 1974 ). He died tonight at age 76. THE CITIES OF BOSTON, DENVER, AND L.A. SAY: THANKS FOR THE TRIP, DAVE… YOU’LL BE MISSED. Kenneth Huang. 7/12/24.
I fell in love with this song in 2005 when I was ramblin’ to Arizona to try and find my place in the world. I would play it over and over again. Now, after so many years and so many places I’ve called home since then, I have settled back in Tennessee where I will live forever. And this song will always remind me that you will never know where you truly belong until you’ve been where you don’t.
It's funny how a song that you haven't heard in a long time will pop into your mind. I was sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee, and I kept humming this song. ❤ I had no idea he had just passed away July 10, 2024. Rest in peace. ❤
RIP Dave. You nailed this song. I moved to TN in 2016 and live on the edge of The Smokies. I love it and this song. That high note at the end is killer. Ironic, that I you tuned this on the day he passed. Here's to you Dave.
This song is one of many that I wound up re-discovering because of services like UA-cam. I grew up through the '70s hearing so many songs on AM radio that both sounded like crap (in that delivery format) and were simply overplayed that I kinda blocked out that decade and ones before it. Every now and then I get blown away by stumbling on such a song that I haven't heard nor sought out in decades... to find that it really is quite beautiful, not just in content but recording quality and everything.
Godspeed Dave Loggins. Thank you for your beautiful voice & thoughtful lyrics. This song lives in my head on repeat & always brings back such fond memories. ❤
I was 10 years old when this song came out. I remember walking through my parents' living room and seeing him perform it on stage on the TV. I fell in love with it immediately, and I've replayed it thousands of times since. The nostalgia it carries with it will never fail to bring me peace. RIP Dave.
Many years ago I was in a relationship with a guy who was a DJ and he would always play this song for me. He has since passed away but whenever I hear this song it brings back those romantic memories.
I grew up listing to this song in the 80's (When I was 10 years old). Out of all the songs I remember my dad playing (1000's) this song stuck with me. As I got older I searched on google using parts of the song and found out who the singer was and the name of the song. WoW! I'm 45 years old now and still remember that song getting played enough for it to be a part of my childhood. Keep in mind that that I was also an MTV kid. So the fact that this song has stayed with me my whole life is a testament to the talent of Dave Loggins. (FYI- When I bring up the name Dave Loggins to my music-crazed friends they don't know this song and it blows me away.) How does such an amazing song get lost over time? Well, Dave Loggins, you had an impact on my life growing up and you will always be remembered in my heart.
I have a song like that, Make The World Go Away by Eddy Arnold, it was the one my dad would play over and over and it became one of my favorites too, but people that say they listen to country ask me what my favorite song is I tell them and just get the blank stare, but again I've been listening to country music since the 60s and most of them think that country music started with Garth Brooks or George Strait.
No matter how old it gets, it still resonates with all of us as we have all been there to a certain degree. If you never felt this about anyone then you wish you had. Still reflects life and love
I was 11 when this came out. For some reason I loved it from the first time I heard it. I loved the passion of his partner to ask him to come home. Fast forward 50 years, I married a man from Tn. 27 years ago and I sing this to him all the time. I am his number one fan❤️❤️
This is what songwriting is all about. This is a song, not just a disposable piece of pop music. I've loved this song ever since it came out. The 70s had some of the greatest songs ever. Most pop music today is just the aural equivalent to fast food.
Dave Loggins, in my opinion, is one of the BEST singer/songwriters of all time! He has so many good songs and his voice is so emotive. Pieces of April and Secondhand Lady are also excellent songs !!
This song is part of the soundtrack of my childhood. 1974... I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old, with an older sister, two older brothers, a younger brother and another one on the way. We were an active family that year and i remember countless road trips and adventures, either perched in the "rumble seat" of our big blue '72 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon on our way to a weekend of sun, sand 'n' surf in Rehoboth Beach or squeezed in the back seat of Dad's badass Cougar Eliminator as we headed up to our getaway in the Poconos, where we boys - the "Little Knuckleheads" - would swim, fish, hike and tear up back trails on our mini-bikes. There are times I SO pine for those days that my heart hurts...
First heard this when I was 5 years old. This type of music runs through my blood. It will resonate forever I'm a empath the sincerity ,,,love,,and compassion Dave put all of that I this song I felt it when i was 5 ,,,,look what love did It wrote one of the greatest love songs ever!!!!!
I am 62 and some change. This song stuck in my head for weeks. It's takes me back when I was younger. When song's really hit your soul and stayed there. I always wanted to be a disk jockey on WFBQ in Indianapolis 94.7. I tried a couple of times. But it just didn't work out. MARRIAGE, Houses and cars. Playing music over the radio was all I wanted do. This song reminds of the dreams I had and still do. Getting older doesn't mean life is over! I might just give a shot! To every person who still has what it takes to over come. Rock on! Shawn from Indiana.
My condolences and blessings; @sponger7642, as you grieve for the sudden loss of your dear Father Padre. May he rest in peace. That is so tragic. 😇 🙏 🌹 Former R.N. Who Cares
I a long time ago had a boyfriend I just loved! But he had a rambling heart. I journeyed with him once across country. Within 3 months he wanted to return closer to home. So we moved closer to home. I was happy for that. Within a year he was ready to return to the cross country place. I moved home. We split but yearned for each other. I quit hearing from him directly, threw friends I knew his whereabouts. But had given up on a stable relationship with him. One day he returned home, my heart jumped!!! I was married. He and I remained close friends as we worked at the same place. He married and was happy and I was happy for him. He had finally found “ home”. He has found a new “ home”. Forgive my rambling, this song reminds me of him. I miss him.
I haven't heard this in decades and it hit me in the gut and heart like a canonball. Brought tears to my eyes too because this is my life story....rambled all over the country and world for 50 years loving them and leaving them because idependence was my motivating force. Then I met my true love here in Europe and have lived happily in one place for 30 years as a family man, not a loner.
Im an old man now.A retired Marine.I know,after having accidently run across this song while scrolling,that as soon as I listen to it now...tears will flow once again.Curse this soft heart of mine.
Oorah!
@Ingerul_Mortii - NO SIR! I BLESS your soft, lonely heart! I am 70, and I understand!

One of the most beautiful ballads I’ve ever heard.
His voice is blissful
I don’t even listen to this type of music but this is absolutely fantastic.
I would have to agree
It's our song
Isn't it?
Had a cassette of this when I was little, played it til the pad fell off, glued it back and played it some more. Masterpiece
And used a pencil to rewind it so you could play it again. Ahh the memories
I grew up with my 86 yr old uncle playing it on Lead guitar. Fine Musician
Hadn't heard this song in years. Now I've listened to it 25 times in the last couple days. Love it

An often under-appreciated gem, just like a big part of 70's music the lyrics are absolutely beautiful . Thank you for giving us this song.
Why would play him this dumb song on his death bed? Sounds like last minute torture.

It's his song. The original is always the best!
Kenny Chesney covers the song and its a pretty good version. He also sings it because of the Tennessee part since hes from Tennessee

It actually made an appearance in my dream last night, so I wanted to listen to the original after I woke up.
As a kid from the 70s, I have always and will always love this song. RIP Dave, and thanks for the awesome memories.
This song always dropped tears. Still did today. Rest in Peace Friend 🧡
This song goes back 40 years!! I played it every day when life was full of laughter ❤
I'm heartbroken over the passing of such a talented songwriter and singer!! I sing this at karaoke, and it's always been a favorite song of mine!!!!! RIP 🙏🏻💔
I’m 35 and absolutely love this original version. Man they sure don’t make music like this anymore.
It's like the world was so much better when good music was coming out
Correctamondo!
Yeah, the sucky people have too much power and influence over the good people now.
This song woke me up out of a dead sleep back in the day! I was in love with a young artist and we were not together the night I first heard this song. Well we’ve reunited and the love is as strong as it was back in the day. Thank you Mr. Loggins for this beautiful song that has made my heart sing throughout the years.
Sweet. 💞
A true classic. RIP Dave Loggins
I was a teenager when this song came out. I would wait to hear it on the radio for days on end, and then, finally hearing it, I couldn't stop singing that main chorus.... the lyrics are just so beautiful. R.I.P. to a wonderful artist who takes me back in time. ❤ 🎶
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Living the life of a drifter, chasing the dream. Everyone deserves to have someone who accepts them as they are and who loves them unconditionally. I would hope that, at the end, he goes home to her.
No, he didnt.
Sad to hear Dave passed away. love this song. R.I.P. Dave. thanks for the music.
This was my Dad's favorite song. Remembering him today on the 13th anniversary of his death💔😭
He did great work, this song is one of the many that was the soundtrack of my childhood. Rest well.
This was one of my mom and dad’s FAVORITE songs when I was goin up . I’m 53 yrs old and mom has been gone since 06 dad since 22 !! I STILL sing this song ALL THE TIME and think of them EVERYDAY!!! I play it on the guitar and my wife says. You LOVE that song don’t ya !!! Crazy how your mind works !!! I remember EVERY WORD of this song after all of these years and ALWAYS will !!!!
A song that every now and then crosses over time and back into my life, and hits me like a bomb every single time. ❤️😭
Yes... and it sucks. ❤
@@hipchicagal2111 , as so many great love songs do. But in the best way…
A beautiful song of regret 😢
Odd
Soothing melodies never hit me like a 'bomb'
@@MalchikGuy , as in “emotional bomb”…a powerful song packing powerful emotions has to have a well composed melody. You never had a heavy experience you can relate to in a particular song that triggers strong emotional reactions? I guess I have, so the bomb analogy stays even if you cannot relate🤣
I can listen to this song over and over…great song..
This song I will always cherish ❤️ I'm a Tennessee girl. It reminds me of my Daddy.RIP
Me too!
Ima Louisiana man.
I am 62. Back when I was in the Air Force in 1981, I remember buying an album (one of those K-Tel collections) at the store on base that had this song and another song I really liked - "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones. Now both of these "one hit wonders" are gone.... but not forgotten! RIP Dave (and Benny) and thanks for the memories......
IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVE LOGGINS, THE WRITER AND PERFORMER OF: PLEASE COME TO BOSTON. ( 1974 ). He died tonight at age 76. THE CITIES OF BOSTON, DENVER, AND L.A. SAY: THANKS FOR THE TRIP, DAVE… YOU’LL BE MISSED.

This is why I follow Rick Beato. To discover amazing music like this song, that I would probably never find by myself
Perhaps Rick should feature this on his "What Makes This Song Great?" series.
It’s just so good. We may not know why like Rick but we still know.
Listen to Paul Davis, I go crazy
I fell in love with this song in 2005 when I was ramblin’ to Arizona to try and find my place in the world. I would play it over and over again. Now, after so many years and so many places I’ve called home since then, I have settled back in Tennessee where I will live forever. And this song will always remind me that you will never know where you truly belong until you’ve been where you don’t.
GREAT SONG. GREAT SINGER
How is Tennesee
True ❤️
it's a strange thing, isn't it? I live in the good ole south too!
This is a jewel.
So sad.
So beautiful.
It's funny how a song that you haven't heard in a long time will pop into your mind. I was sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee, and I kept humming this song. ❤ I had no idea he had just passed away July 10, 2024. Rest in peace. ❤
This is such a beautiful song. 🎵 “I’m the number fan of the man from Tennessee”🎵 RIP Dave Loggins!! 🙏🏾❤️
This song has stood the test of time. It has no age; just a timeless classic.
RIP Dave. You nailed this song. I moved to TN in 2016 and live on the edge of The Smokies. I love it and this song. That high note at the end is killer. Ironic, that I you tuned this on the day he passed. Here's to you Dave.
I listen to this with my eyes closed.
Man I'd forgotten about this song for decades and idk why but it's making me weep.
😢
Spent many a night listening to this song on repeat, wandering around the world, missing my love. Thank you. Rest in peace❤
His voice has so much "want" in it. LOVE THIS SONG!
So true. This is one of the few songs that brings tears to my eyes. So much heartbreak in this song.
One of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard. Never get tired of listening to it.
I agree 💯%, the BEST! ❤️
A SONG AND A VOICE THAT MAKES ME HOMESICK.
@@brentcarr5965 It makes me “homesick” for beautiful, soul touching old ballads like this. 🎶💕
This song is one of many that I wound up re-discovering because of services like UA-cam.
I grew up through the '70s hearing so many songs on AM radio that both sounded like crap (in that delivery format) and were simply overplayed that I kinda blocked out that decade and ones before it.
Every now and then I get blown away by stumbling on such a song that I haven't heard nor sought out in decades... to find that it really is quite beautiful, not just in content but recording quality and everything.
heard this in 74 was hooked ....ran out and bought the album u have good taste Steve
😢 this also makes me feel the loss of my husband. The love of my life
Godspeed Dave Loggins. Thank you for your beautiful voice & thoughtful lyrics. This song lives in my head on repeat & always brings back such fond memories. ❤
I was 10 years old when this song came out. I remember walking through my parents' living room and seeing him perform it on stage on the TV. I fell in love with it immediately, and I've replayed it thousands of times since. The nostalgia it carries with it will never fail to bring me peace. RIP Dave.
Many years ago I was in a relationship with a guy who was a DJ and he would always play this song for me. He has since passed away but whenever I hear this song it brings back those romantic memories.
RIP Dave Loggins. Thank you for all the great music!
I grew up listing to this song in the 80's (When I was 10 years old). Out of all the songs I remember my dad playing (1000's) this song stuck with me. As I got older I searched on google using parts of the song and found out who the singer was and the name of the song. WoW! I'm 45 years old now and still remember that song getting played enough for it to be a part of my childhood. Keep in mind that that I was also an MTV kid. So the fact that this song has stayed with me my whole life is a testament to the talent of Dave Loggins. (FYI- When I bring up the name Dave Loggins to my music-crazed friends they don't know this song and it blows me away.) How does such an amazing song get lost over time? Well, Dave Loggins, you had an impact on my life growing up and you will always be remembered in my heart.
I have a song like that, Make The World Go Away by Eddy Arnold, it was the one my dad would play over and over and it became one of my favorites too, but people that say they listen to country ask me what my favorite song is I tell them and just get the blank stare, but again I've been listening to country music since the 60s and most of them think that country music started with Garth Brooks or George Strait.
Heard it in 1974, 1984, and 1991
48 here.....same. The song remembers when.
Never change who you are … you are special, please believe in (you)
No matter how old it gets, it still resonates with all of us as we have all been there to a certain degree. If you never felt this about anyone then you wish you had. Still reflects life and love
I absolutely love this song. If you dont, check your soul!
How did the years race by so quickly? This song remains one of the very best!
I was 11 when this came out. For some reason I loved it from the first time I heard it. I loved the passion of his partner to ask him to come home. Fast forward 50 years, I married a man from Tn. 27 years ago and I sing this to him all the time. I am his number one fan❤️❤️
Rest in peace, Mr. Loggins. Your music lives on.
RIP Mr Loggins... Thanks for the memories ❤❤
Loved this song so much as a kid. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world while you were here. 🙏
It SUCKS we have to get old and die !! I could listen to this music FOREVER !!!!
Sooo grateful to be alive when this came out originally.
This is what songwriting is all about. This is a song, not just a disposable piece of pop music. I've loved this song ever since it came out. The 70s had some of the greatest songs ever. Most pop music today is just the aural equivalent to fast food.
True...😮😊
Your not more right. I have a playlist full of 150+ classics like these, not a single song after 2010 is on it
thx, you said it all. greetings from austria.
Well 😢 said
RIP. you will be greatly missed
Dave Loggins set out to write the perfect song. He hit his mark! Thank you, Dave.
I LOVE THIS SONG. SO BEAUTIFUL ..CLEAN. AND TOUCHING😢
This song brings back so many memories of 70s...
Dave Loggins, in my opinion, is one of the BEST singer/songwriters of all time! He has so many good songs and his voice is so emotive. Pieces of April and Secondhand Lady are also excellent songs !!
I was in Boston this beautiful spring day. It was absolutely stunning today. Made me think of this song.
Growing up this was one of those songs that stayed with me forever. God bless you Dave and rest in peace.
I'm in tears listening to it now. I used to listen to this song over and over. Haunting.
RIP

This song is part of the soundtrack of my childhood. 1974... I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old, with an older sister, two older brothers, a younger brother and another one on the way. We were an active family that year and i remember countless road trips and adventures, either perched in the "rumble seat" of our big blue '72 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon on our way to a weekend of sun, sand 'n' surf in Rehoboth Beach or squeezed in the back seat of Dad's badass Cougar Eliminator as we headed up to our getaway in the Poconos, where we boys - the "Little Knuckleheads" - would swim, fish, hike and tear up back trails on our mini-bikes.
There are times I SO pine for those days that my heart hurts...
First heard this when I was 5 years old. This type of music runs through my blood. It will resonate forever I'm a empath the sincerity ,,,love,,and compassion Dave put all of that I this song I felt it when i was 5 ,,,,look what love did It wrote one of the greatest love songs ever!!!!!
One of my favorite ballads of all time. The lyrics are just amazing.
I am 62 and some change. This song stuck in my head for weeks. It's takes me back when I was younger. When song's really hit your soul and stayed there. I always wanted to be a disk jockey on WFBQ in Indianapolis 94.7. I tried a couple of times. But it just didn't work out. MARRIAGE, Houses and cars. Playing music over the radio was all I wanted do. This song reminds of the dreams I had and still do. Getting older doesn't mean life is over! I might just give a shot! To every person who still has what it takes to over come. Rock on! Shawn from Indiana.
This world needs more music like this.....
no doubt
God damn right!
This is one of my dad's favorites. I played it for weeks while he died from medical neglect at Kindred Fort Lauderdale. Miss you Padre!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
My condolences and blessings; @sponger7642, as you grieve for the sudden loss of your dear Father Padre. May he rest in peace. That is so tragic. 😇 🙏 🌹 Former R.N. Who Cares
I a long time ago had a boyfriend I just loved! But he had a rambling heart. I journeyed with him once across country. Within 3 months he wanted to return closer to home. So we moved closer to home. I was happy for that. Within a year he was ready to return to the cross country place. I moved home. We split but yearned for each other. I quit hearing from him directly, threw friends I knew his whereabouts. But had given up on a stable relationship with him. One day he returned home, my heart jumped!!! I was married. He and I remained close friends as we worked at the same place. He married and was happy and I was happy for him. He had finally found “ home”. He has found a new “ home”. Forgive my rambling, this song reminds me of him. I miss him.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever
Definitely
I haven't heard this in decades and it hit me in the gut and heart like a canonball. Brought tears to my eyes too because this is my life story....rambled all over the country and world for 50 years loving them and leaving them because idependence was my motivating force. Then I met my true love here in Europe and have lived happily in one place for 30 years as a family man, not a loner.
