    Been a fan since their debut album - "Firefall" - was released in '76. I saw them open for Kenny Loggins in '78. I had this classic on a playlist, so_outrageous_one. Beautiful song and nice selection. Cool seeing you appreciating these guys again, Harri. "Just Remember I Love You" and "Mexico" by them were selections of mine that you reacted to over a year ago. Great reaction, Harri. Thanks, fellas.

    Strange Way is one of my all time favorites from my childhood. I had a K-Tel album called Gold Rush 79, I used to listen to it all the time and many other songs. It takes me back to when I was 7, I started listening to music young and was enamored by soft rock of the late 70s.

    Huge fan. I have a category of gorgeous 70's melodies that are "haunting" songs. Melancholia yet stunning tunes. This is in my top 5, heard it first as I drove thru the eastern California desert in 1978 and it took me to another dimension. Surreal.

    This is one of the 70's most haunting, beautiful melodies. Other candidates are Nights in White Satin, Forever Autumn, Someone to Lay Down Beside Me and Time Passages. All have a melancholy ring to them but wrapped up in the most beautiful melodies, vocals, and arrangements. Superb.

    From their 1978, 3rd album, "Elan" the lyrics in this tune differ from their previous hits "You Are The Woman" and " Just Remember I Love You".
    The beautiful flute by David Muse so captivating, he would sometimes do a 10 minute solo in concert. Originally hired to join in studio for the first album, He could play several instruments and fit in so well, he was made a member.
    The lyrics suggest she cheated on her boyfriend/husband and he is devastated and feels used and wants to call it quits.
    Beautiful instrumentation and the heavenly harmonies made for a great tune. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and So Outrageous One 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

    One of the most unique sounding tunes from the magical 70s. I heard this song for the first time driving thru the desert in a lite snow. It is beyond haunting and melancholy, but in an ethereal, melodic way. I love it when a song amplifies my experience or surroundings. This is one of those tunes, as is Forever Autumn by Justin Heywood (sp.?). The moodier, more minor chords, the better. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Early 70’s… Band named after, the Yosemite falls. (California State Park) BTW: Now destroyed by the protectors.
    For years they (the Park) sent a fire “over-the-falls. Never any problems but of course the Green folks canceled the Firefall. I believe under certain circumstances it May happen again, rarely.
    I loved this song in my 20’s

    Here are some of the 70's most haunting, dark but gorgeous songs.
