    Liner Notes:
    This is the first Chicago song I've recorded, and it's been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I'm also a big fan of "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" so watch for that one from me soon, as well.
    The lyrics are pure and potent, and the vocal melody is like the primal scream from a broken heart: tender, sincere, sad. I know we all can relate to this song at various times in our lives. So this is for all of the mending broken hearts out there.
    My guitar is an Ovation Custom Legend, made in the U.S.A. I'm an Ovation-sponsored artist: ovationguitars.com/artists
    Thanks to Bryce for the bass part. You nailed it, and it's always a pleasure to work with you.
    Thanks to my wife, Valia, for filming the video during our social distancing.
    Thanks for reading, and please remember to Like, Subscribe, and Share. It all helps a lot.
    Love,
    -Mike

    You have the most amazing tenor voice and control. Your timing and punctuation are on point. You have definitely got the sound mix right. Love the black and white video and the shooting of the video makes it a very personal experience. Bryce brings the bass as always. Very beautifully sounding and visual experience, as always. Thank you for another great performance

    Fantastic Job Mike! Chicago was my very 1st rock concert back in 1987 my father bought tickets and took me to see the show. I had their greatest hits package as a teenager, and made my parents fans. the following year my parents took me to see Toto during their Seventh One Tour. some good times back then.

    This is the cover of this song I’ve been waiting for Mike. Just fantastic. I still can’t believe that you can sing the higher parts normally sung in a falsetto, in your full chest belt voice. What an incredible range you have. And also, you’re one of the few youtubers I enjoy watching do covers, because it looks like you’re enjoying watch you’re doing and you have performance skills. Brilliant and thanks for posting Mike, keep up the good work.
