Shoppping in Walmart brought me here!! It was playing and I literally almost lost a lung singing it and now it’s on repeat. To all my eighties babies wishing you all nothing but the best. ❤
I actually heard it in a dream, that’s what brought me here. I’ve been dreaming a lot about the 80’s lately, I think it’s how my mind is keeping me sane while the world goes crazy! Love to all my fellow late X’ers!
Yeah, but a million people have written this comment for a million different videos on youtube. Is this a person who even wrote this? Doesn't feel much like an original observation anymore.
Have to agree with you Gary, I'll be 70 next year. I've been around since Rock and roll first started, and the 70s and the 80s were hands down the best!
You’re not the only one, I’ll stay up at night in bed and watch all videos from the 70s and 80s all the time. I certainly would love to go back in time and relive those days.
Back when you could understand the words.. unlike today’s music, can’t understand the word, degrading to woman, just trash.. and hmmm we wonder what’s wrong with the generations of today 🤔🤔
I thought the lead guitar here was played by Jeff Carlisi but it was another guy with a Stratocaster. Anyone know his name please? Almost like Mark Knopfler style of music.
A masterpiece. I love the 80s and I’m 22 years old. Thankful my parents introduced me to this kind of music. The new stuff just don’t cut it. 80s FOREVER 👍🏻💕💕
Áno máš pravdu 80roky boli sú a navždy zostanú najlepšou dekádou aká kedy bola best Decade of Music Movies and great Soundtracksera Nostalgietime obdivujem že sa nájdu mladí ľudia ktorí spoznávajú čaro tejto nezabudnuteľnej dekády pozdravujem a nech sa darí 👍👍👍🎸🥁🎹🎤
That's just awesome! Your blessed with cool parents, I'm glad you took to the music of the 80s . Anytime I hear a young person who has an open mind enough to listen to the music of the 80s it's cool because it's like the "Torch is being passed" to another generation and, maybe someday you'll do the same, and the music (great music from _all_ previous generations) will live forever!! So cool, blaze your own trail right? I love it✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏
One of the best 38 Spec songs to ever hit a turntable .. it was not a chick song but a guy that got caught song. If you were the guy you definitely wanted the soon to be X to hear it too.. while you were putting on your knee pads😂
This song makes you want to talk to the girl and beg her to please give this guy who loves you so much a second chance! You hear his broken heart in this song. Sounds like a heartfelt love letter.
Yeah that's what got me about the song all those years ago. The vocal and the guitars. Not really deep lyrics or anything, but it was feelgood and hit the spot when it came out in the 90s.
It’s so redundant of course people are still here in 2024. They’ll still be here in 2035 if the world is, it irksme when people lead with that. It’s childish.
I just lost my wife of 28 years today, she suffered badly the last few months. This was our wedding song because it was truly a ‘second chance’ for both of us. I hope maybe I can recover one day. Lord, please give me a third chance.
@@jimkeller8616 I can only say that I know exactly how you feel, lost my wife in 2011 after 20 years. This song was our favorite in 1989 when we met. I know that words cannot describe your pain. After all this time I'm still learning to live without her.
I was going to get on here and whine about my three marriages which all ended in divorce, but then I read your post. I think your situation is much worse. I hope you get your third chance. And I hope I get my fourth.
When I was backstage at Grand Funk concert about 6 years ago I was ushering at, the band greeted us in area and wished us well for night. No idea in the world that was Max Karl who was gracious with us, longer hair, shades etc. if I would have no I would have shook his hand and said job well done on this song. Still my favorite 80’s song.
I remember being a kid in the 80’s going to the store with my mom. We would get back from shopping and this song would come on. I would tell her I have to stay in the car to listen to this beautiful song before I turned it off. RIP mom.
Wie lange habe 8ch nach diesem Lied gesucht,sicher 20jahre lang.... Ihr glaubt gar nicht, wie ich abgegangen bin,als ich es vor e8n paar Wochen es zim 1 sten mal wieder gehört habe...vielen vielen dank.... Lg Ralf ❤❤❤❤❤
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
God/ Jesus christ already gave me eternal salvation to Me and my family long time ago, that is the reason even in the difficult times I know God is by side and will fight my Beatles, Iam very confident in name of Jesus christ 🙏🏻
@lorrainebrowncox1718 Thanks for good thoughts, but God/ Lord have already gave me eternal salvation to me and my family, That I feel God is always by side ,fighting my battles, I have faith in Jesus christ, Amen 🙏🏻 ❤️
@@sexytrini401 yes God/ Jesus christ already have gave to my family and myself eternal salvation, long time ago, that is why " Fear No" By faith 🙏🏻 in Jesus christ, I know he will faith all my battles, even in the middle of my difficulties in life, God never has lost a battle 🙏🏻 ❤️
More than likely you knew exactly what you were doing and decided to do it anyways. Which isn't an uniformed or ignorant decision. Just a selfish one. So you don't deserve a second chance.
carlos mata, I like to think there was just as much voice & music that mattered, to me, in the 70's too. Just personal stuff. I loved the 80's, as well.
This song shows the true talent in 38 specials. To be one of the greatest southern rock bands early on and to turn out a song this deep means something.
After almost 25 years, I met my first and deepest love at a school reunion. This song was popular at the time, and it became very meaningful for me. We’ve been married for 32 years now, and this song still brings me to tears. I’ve loved him since I was 15 and always will.
That's what music and memories are for. I reconnected with someone from high school (she was two grades lower than me) in 2019. Turns out she was in love with me at that age as well. I didn't realize how blissful love could be.
Hands down.....one of the very best 'heart break' songs to come out of the 80s'! The powerful/impassioned lyrics and _especially_ the minimal & understated....yet dramatically cutting to the bone...weeping guitar leads throughout is what sold this song and kept it at the top of the charts for multiple weeks back then! _WHEW!_
❤ 🎉🤗...still pinching myself after seeing The Doobie Bros, Michael McDonald and Steve Winwood last week. Awesome concert !🤗 Would ❤ 2c 38 Special in concert!
20 years ago i worked at a walgreens and this song would play every now and then; today realized how lucky we were to have live through this music era.
50 years ago, this January, I fell in love with a beautiful girl I saw walking down a staircase. We had been in teachers' college since the fall, but had never seen each other. It was love at first sight. We both stopped in our tracks and smiled at each other. She passed away over four years ago, in the summer. This song is so meaningful for me because 'Since she's been gone, I've been in a trance.' It is so sad to think that she is not in this world any more. 50 years ago, almost to the day, and it feels like yesterday.
38 years of age I remember my parents listening to this song on the radio. Thank God I grew up when music was great and had meaning. Music like this stand the test of time.
Yeah you're right music kind of meaning behind it back then thank God now everybody especially women where outfits to sell themselves not like Grace slick Janis Joplin didn't have to where clothes like that to sell their music their voice sold their music that's the good God them and then give him my body to sell music he gave him their voice now tell me I've ever seen a video with Janis Joplin wearing it tutu or thong I guess some people think they really look hot like that they forget God's watching them
Quién escucha esto en 2024 simple: Todos los que amamos la buena música con sus melodías armonías y ritmos Saludos desde Argentina a todos los que disfrutan de la musica de los 70.80.90.y más👍🤗🤗
Yeah, Donnie van Zant and his brother Johnnie van Zant lead singer of Lenard Skinard won't sometimes perform together as Van Zant.Their older brother Ronnie van Zant was the original lead singer of Skinard before he died in a plane crash in 1977.I really did hate that,because for one I worked at the airport in Little Rock Arkansasand they had a concert the night before,and I talked to Ronnie 15 minutes before he got on the plane.He was 26 then I think because I was 16 and he was 10 years older than me.And we both were born in January him 1948 me 1958.I was stationed in Japan in 1977 when I got the news of the crash.He was a real cool guy,and the way he was lying on the ground,it looked like he was just napping.He wasn't dirty or bloody.My friends didn't believe me when I told them I kicked it with him for 15 minutes,I guess because it was in the 70s and I'm a black guy.
My Girl and I had just split prior to my 3rd deployment to Iraq. Friends of mine acquired tickets to see 38 Special in Dallas. what I didn't know was they had managed to meet with band members and during the concert my Girl and I were called on stage and they played this song for us while we danced. We have been married for 16 years now. I proposed that night. A night I will never forget.
Since you've been gone I feel my life slipping away I look to the sky And everything is turnin' gray All I made was one mistake How much more will I have to pay Why can't you think it over Why can't you forget about the past When love makes this sound, babe A heart needs a second chance Don't put me down, babe Can't you see I love you Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance This heart needs a second chance Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye So this is love Standing in the pouring rain I fooled on you But she never meant a thing And I know I ain't got no right To ask you to sympathize But why can't you think it over Why can't you forget the past When love makes this sound, babe A heart needs a second chance Don't put me down, babe Can't you see I love you Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance This heart needs a second chance Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye I never loved her, I never needed her She was willing and that's all there is to say Don't forsake me, please, don't leave me now A heart needs a second chance Yeah, you've been gone and I've been in a trance This heart needs a second chance Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye Please, forgive me and forget it I was wrong and I admit it Why can't we talk it over Why can't we forget about Forget about the past A heart needs a second chance When love makes this sound, babe A heart needs a second chance Don't put me down, babe You been gone, I've been in a trance This heart needs a second chance Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye A heart needs a second chance When love makes this sound, babe A heart needs a second chance A heart needs a second chance When love makes this sound, babe A heart needs a second chance A heart needs a second chance A heart needs a second chance A heart needs a second chance
I remember when I worked a summer job at moms real estate office. As she sips on her coffee while turning her rolodex, the entire office is listening to this masterpiece. RIP mama February 2022. 🙏
I've never heard about this group and I'm from 70s. Believe me, I've heard all 80s music worth listening to. The fact this group evaded me is a proof it is fairly rated. Cheesy lyrics, third rate melodiy, generic 80s arrangement - it's a pretty mediocre song from average musicians.
That era of music was so much better .
Is there a musical saw in this recording? I hear it in the instrumental breaks, but I never saw a saw here.
The 80s were the best.
Yes it was the best music ever
Agreed. 😊
Amen to that. Love this song!
Still sounding as fresh in 2024 as it did in 1989

38 special, this morning damn good makeup song. I have always loved this song. Because I had to make up close to a million times@@richardcosta9014
One of the greatest love balance ever made, buy one of the greatest groups 38 special. I got a 38 special my favorite gun
The internet says it was released in 1988 .
Yes! One of my favorites.
Shoppping in Walmart brought me here!! It was playing and I literally almost lost a lung singing it and now it’s on repeat. To all my eighties babies wishing you all nothing but the best. ❤
That's so funny , I was in the bank and this came on! I googled it and came here.
Sooo good , but this guy looks more like he could kick a mud hole in your ass !! Than an amazing artist , which he really is !!!
I was in a shoe store and heard it..here I am..lol
I actually heard it in a dream, that’s what brought me here. I’ve been dreaming a lot about the 80’s lately, I think it’s how my mind is keeping me sane while the world goes crazy! Love to all my fellow late X’ers!
lmao I heard this at food lion!!
*This is one of those songs where you* *want to sing along but keep your* *mouth shut so your heart can feel it* *instead...*
Yesssss

So true.

Great way ro describe it.
You don't hear music like this anymore.
True
Not even close!
Bingo.
No, Amo esta música ❤
One of the most underrated groups in music history
38 Special songs that never got a ton of radio airplay are their best ones.

Beautiful ❤️
And infidelity never goes out of style🙃
@@tamaraw2546 I know, right?! It may be a beautiful song but it’s still about infidelity 😂
Nothing.. i repeat.. nothing ever come close to the 80s music.

Not underrated, this was it back in the day.

This man has a voice very like Paul Carrack vibe with Southern Soul grit.
It’s up there with Adam Ant “Wonderful”

Me!
Spring of 1989. My senior year of high school. What I wouldn't give to relive those days. This song puts me right back there.
I was a freshman, but I concur....
damn your old, j/k I was almost in junior high in 1989.
Tell me about it, I was cruising in my convertible then wish I could relive those days too
I graduated the same time
I would give anything to go back. 👍
I’m 78. Went through Beatles, Motown, disco. Music from 70-80’s is the best. Listen often to Journey,Foreigner Phil Collins etc. Etc.
Have to agree, I was not around in the 70s though.
Have to agree with you Gary, I'll be 70 next year. I've been around since Rock and roll first started, and the 70s and the 80s were hands down the best!
@@thepearsinator1875 be 79 in 16 days
@Vince 1010 much appreciated.
Agreed
Ballads like these don’t exist anymore.treasure these jems.
gems
Saw them last night. Still sound just as good.
80s music is special since I was teen throughout that decade.
@@tommyboyce Spanish is his first language.
Second Chance hit #6 in 1989, making it .38 Special's highest-charting song on the Hot 100. Yet it has disappeared from the radio.
You’re not the only one, I’ll stay up at night in bed and watch all videos from the 70s and 80s all the time. I certainly would love to go back in time and relive those days.
Same….*sigh*
I’d love to go back to the 80’s.

Undoubtedly!! Thought and wished those days would go on forever..
Hands down agree 100% 50 now.

Back when music was full of love and emotion. A timeless masterpiece.
Back when you could understand the words.. unlike today’s music, can’t understand the word, degrading to woman, just trash.. and hmmm we wonder what’s wrong with the generations of today 🤔🤔
Yes exactly, now these days it’s auto tune and no meaning.
Subtitular Spanich
Subtitular letra a Español
Music like that is still out there. You’re just looking in the wrong places.
That guitar work gives me goosebumps coupled with his, voice is heaven.
Same!!
I thought the lead guitar here was played by Jeff Carlisi but it was another guy with a Stratocaster. Anyone know his name please? Almost like Mark Knopfler style of music.
80s just can't b matched ❤
Gave me a second chance to go back to 80's .
Yes!
I would be with you.
I’d just love to go back to the ‘70’s when I grew up - and know what I know now!!! 😀😀
Im in
@@anitaatkins8340 yep. Buy stock in Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple.
Its a real shame this kind of music is no longer....
It was a special time to be around born in 64.
I was 16 in 1980 and 25 in 1989. It was a blast!
You got that right
A time when u had to have talent to be a singer...
Best time of life a lot easyer for sure
one of the great light rock songs of all time
Max Carl hit it on the head with the lead vocals on this one
Check out his solo track, 'The Circle' from the Weird Science movie soundtrack. Perfection!
Come And Follow Me by Max Carl from Short Circuit should have been a hit too
A masterpiece. I love the 80s and I’m 22 years old. Thankful my parents introduced me to this kind of music. The new stuff just don’t cut it. 80s FOREVER 👍🏻💕💕

The powerful/impassioned lyrics and _especially_ the minimal & understated....yet dramatically cutting to the bone...weeping guitar leads throughout is what sold this song and kept it at the top of the charts for multiple weeks back then! _WHEW!_
❤
wow this such a killer song . 2 wows
Reminds me of someone I really loved long ago. Just couldn’t get them to love ❤️ me the same. Love this song
Sure do know that feeling. It hurts bad.

Back when music still sounded good. Who’s here in 2021?
Edit: and still here in 2022
I agree. I remember a great time when it took talent to be a recording artist.
The music is so beautiful - tight and harmonious
me always
i love this song 🎵❤
Always here..Always Listening
❤ 🎉🤗...still pinching myself after seeing The Doobie Bros, Michael McDonald and Steve Winwood last week. Awesome concert !🤗
Would ❤ 2c 38 Special in concert!
20 years ago i worked at a walgreens and this song would play every now and then; today realized how lucky we were to have live through this music era.
I am 63 years old and have just discovered this song. Absolutely brilliant.
Nice
Wish you knew about it in the 80's..Times were different. You were younger and different
@@Wheat002 Wow, you mean he was younger and different in the 80s? Man, you are so insightful.
just shows ya. its never too late.
Hey I'm. 66 and loved this song then and still do now!!
This song has the rare distinction of perfectly combining lyric and melody.
And harmony to die for! Hauntingly beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes.
A pleasure for my ears and my mind.
Sounds like the police every breath you take.
It's 80's music. That's enough.
For those of you who are curious, the awesome keyboard player/vocalist on this beautiful classic is Max Carl. He and the rest of the band were magic.
Just saw them in concert at L. A. County fair with The Outlaws. They played this song and sounded great! May 2024
I can never ever get tired of listening to this most beautiful song! Must have listened to it hundreds of times!
It really does sound just as good every time!
Me too
Totally agree
Yes totally understand. I love it. I was 15 when it was out he was a fantastic singer
Same here in just 2 days
50 years ago, this January, I fell in love with a beautiful girl I saw walking down a staircase. We had been in teachers' college since the fall, but had never seen each other. It was love at first sight. We both stopped in our tracks and smiled at each other. She passed away over four years ago, in the summer. This song is so meaningful for me because 'Since she's been gone, I've been in a trance.' It is so sad to think that she is not in this world any more. 50 years ago, almost to the day, and it feels like yesterday.
Ken. if it was for real. really sorry for your big loss
I promised you, you'll see her again...
It was.
Thanks for sharing something so special.
So sorry for your loss...the pain of earthly separation. Love never dies and one day you will be reunited.
Saw them in the early 80s and they were one of the best live bands I ever heard. They were so tight...
Who is listening in 2024??
Hello Rebecca, how's everything going with you?
I'm stuck in the 80's lol Such a great ballad!
+freshin888style Exactly! lol
+David Topchiev
oh god yah...the mullets.
the overwrought emotions. the bad teeth.
but fuck me what a song!
me too! 80s had the best music.
I am stuck in the 80s as well I like the really good singers
right place ...right song... right look....right time.....magic is real
38 years of age I remember my parents listening to this song on the radio. Thank God I grew up when music was great and had meaning. Music like this stand the test of time.
Very well said
Yeah you're right music kind of meaning behind it back then thank God now everybody especially women where outfits to sell themselves not like Grace slick Janis Joplin didn't have to where clothes like that to sell their music their voice sold their music that's the good God them and then give him my body to sell music he gave him their voice now tell me I've ever seen a video with Janis Joplin wearing it tutu or thong I guess some people think they really look hot like that they forget God's watching them
We had the very best music!
Totally agree with you here
That's a fact! This is the best group for all times.
I love this song! Sad but hopeful! Sung and played masterfully.
Quién escucha esto en 2024 simple: Todos los que amamos la buena música con sus melodías armonías y ritmos Saludos desde Argentina a todos los que disfrutan de la musica de los 70.80.90.y más👍🤗🤗
After the first 10 seconds of this song, I felt something. That shows how brilliant the composer and producer were.
İt does
I feel yeah
Riiiight 🎯 💯 ‼️ it gets me every time and very much felt 😢 💔 😪 😭
Yeah, Donnie van Zant and his brother Johnnie van Zant lead singer of Lenard Skinard won't sometimes perform together as Van Zant.Their older brother Ronnie van Zant was the original lead singer of Skinard before he died in a plane crash in 1977.I really did hate that,because for one I worked at the airport in Little Rock Arkansasand they had a concert the night before,and I talked to Ronnie 15 minutes before he got on the plane.He was 26 then I think because I was 16 and he was 10 years older than me.And we both were born in January him 1948 me 1958.I was stationed in Japan in 1977 when I got the news of the crash.He was a real cool guy,and the way he was lying on the ground,it looked like he was just napping.He wasn't dirty or bloody.My friends didn't believe me when I told them I kicked it with him for 15 minutes,I guess because it was in the 70s and I'm a black guy.
This Song and Sara by Starship gets me in the feels everytime.
My Girl and I had just split prior to my 3rd deployment to Iraq. Friends of mine acquired tickets to see 38 Special in Dallas. what I didn't know was they had managed to meet with band members and during the concert my Girl and I were called on stage and they played this song for us while we danced. We have been married for 16 years now. I proposed that night. A night I will never forget.
andy gonzales that's beautiful
That's awesome!! :)
Fake.
andy gonzales really cool
andy gonzales Thank you for your service. What branch of military? I really want to be in air force. and I strongly appreciate your service.
This song is so stuck in my mind. I go to sleep hearing it!!
Didn't realize this was .38 Special til i was researching ballads for my power ballads website. Great tune.

Sunny Isaida Mendez

Love my generation of music it's so now
This song always gives me serious nostalgia i wanna go back to the good old days.
The 80’s were the best times ever!
People were kind and courteous
Music was meaningful and artists just sang perfectly without auto tune
Me too!! And it looks like I might get a second chance after 39 years!!
That is with my ex-husband.
Straight FACTS AND I LOVE THIS SONG
I am listening 2024. I seen them in concert @ Madison,Indiana

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST, "UNDERRATED" SONG EVER.... BADASS

I agree
No rapping, no dancing, no auto tune, lip syncing, etc... this is what you call MUSIC!
Actually it is lip-synching.
Totally agree and a story you can understand. 💫💫hey I am 66 love these oldies 🎤🎺🪗🎹❤️✌🏼
Bingo 🤙
Me! A band that takes me back to childhood when music was music!😭
Since you've been gone
I feel my life slipping away
I look to the sky
And everything is turnin' gray
All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down, babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
So this is love
Standing in the pouring rain
I fooled on you
But she never meant a thing
And I know I ain't got no right
To ask you to sympathize
But why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget the past
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down, babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you've been gone, I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
I never loved her, I never needed her
She was willing and that's all there is to say
Don't forsake me, please, don't leave me now
A heart needs a second chance
Yeah, you've been gone and I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
Please, forgive me and forget it
I was wrong and I admit it
Why can't we talk it over
Why can't we forget about
Forget about the past
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down, babe
You been gone, I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over, I just can't say goodbye
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
When love makes this sound, babe
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
A heart needs a second chance
I remember when I worked a summer job at moms real estate office. As she sips on her coffee while turning her rolodex, the entire office is listening to this masterpiece. RIP mama February 2022. 🙏
I’m sorry for loss. I hope you’re doing ok.
What a great memory!! Sorry ❤️ for your loss!! God Bless
🙏🏽
🙏
What year did you work this summer job ?
One of the most underrated groups in music history.Doesn't get any better than this,💕
I've never heard about this group and I'm from 70s. Believe me, I've heard all 80s music worth listening to. The fact this group evaded me is a proof it is fairly rated. Cheesy lyrics, third rate melodiy, generic 80s arrangement - it's a pretty mediocre song from average musicians.
@@TheAntsh
Yet here you listening to it.
It's obvious not the best band,
but it's a good song.
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly I only clicked because algorithm offered it and I never heard about this band
@@TheAntsh
cool story bro
Bro was eager to comment on this like he had antsh in his pantsh
My 38Special favorite song, my daughters remembers me driving w/windows down jamming to this song❤
Hello Suzy, how are you doing?
I will always Love Her ❤️
