I heard Cheap Trick on the Steve Dahl show, excited about the upcoming release of this song. (I listened on a cheap transistor radio, easily stashed away ; I grew up Amish)
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.
I was 18 going on 19 and I'm 54 and December 19th I will be 55 letting you know that and my is 56 okay we have been married for 24 years going on 25 and we have known each other for 35 years we were best friends for a long time okay we got married on March 25 2000
My sons favorite song , I played it for his funeral. Tears explode from the depth of my soul now when I hear it. I cannot thank cheap trick enough for writing such a ballad. For as long as I live this song will forever bring my son and his life back to me…
Que tristeza que tu hijo se aya ido ..lamento mucho su perdida ..y si ,esta cancion es bella ,y me alegra que te pongas feliz al escucharla y pueda traerle asu hijo saludos desde concepcion chile .y mucha fuerza algun dia estaras con el ...
I lost my husband suddenly in 2023 and today is our wedding anniversary. I’m seeing these guys in concert tomorrow night with Journey and Def Leppard! I wish he was with me but feel him in my heart always. So sorry for your loss
These guys have performed one of the best love songs ever written. There’s hardly a love song out there that just nails it as The Flame does. They sing it with pure passion and pain. I’m hoping my ex wife listens to it.
@Cheap Trick : Once upon a time, rock artists produced quality songs both lyrically and musically. It was a delight to the ears of every rock music lover. You could listen to it endlessly. It had a special impact for many. "The Flame..." released in 1988 and still popular in 2023...! The sixties, seventies, eighties... great times... or in other words, heydays for rock music...! Thank you Bob MITCHELL and Nick GRAHAM for this heartwarming power ballad...! "Cheap Trick..." pure youth sentiment...! Beautiful memories of this band. Greetings from Belgium (Europe) and Florida (USA).
I'm an 80's kid and this was and still is a wonderful ballad. They really don't make music like this anymore where folks put their heart and soul into the music.
Why is the grip backwards though? The traditional grip is the held the other way because drummers marching to war slung their drums around their left hip.
This song makes me cry everytime I hear it. My ex was my best friend and he used to sing this song to me even after we broke up. He has passed now. Taken too young because of his choices in life. This song is so beautiful and so very special to me, forever. I hear it and I hear him singing it to me again.
0:29 when I listen to this song I cant help but feeling sad. What happend to the world all good people playing for the love of it and not just fame. The stuff they make these days is not Music just noise. ❤
When I was 5 I cried to this song to my aunt not knowing why I was crying.. I had not lost anyone in my life. But she said I cried with a deep soulful cry every time it was heard. I lost my husband of 21 years in 2020 and this song came on and the emotions I felt as a child came flooding back… I am not sure but I think God was preparing me at that age of the pain I would feel… this song means so much to me.
Wow, didn't realize that this song was so long ago in 1988. It is a beautiful song, but so sad, yet so powerful. I hadn't heard it for years but then it played on a station recently and this song has been stuck in my head.
Absolutely remembering my beautiful lady Rosalie who walked into heaven to be with Jesus 26th February this year will always love you in my heart forever 😢❤🥰☺️🫂
Lost my wife 3 years ago. This song reminds me of how I feel about her. Miss her terribly. We were only married 15 years but they were the best of my life, despite the bad things that happened.
Oh don;t cut the performance short. I don't think I want to hear any version other than this version. A cover to inspire others to hear the original would be ok, but topping this one, I don't think it could be done.
1989 my highschool sweetheart and i went out, this song our song played, we danced ...i was 3 mo pregnant. Car accident on the was home took him from me. My son looks identical to him. I miss him so much, ive never gotten over him and never will. Ill live you forever TAB..till we dance again .
expatinbrazil My friends and I saw Cheap Trick for free at the University of California in Irvine ,CA. Right before they hit it big. Man that seems like a lifetime ago and then it seems like it was only yesterday.
The voice from lead singer is epic. He could sing this song outside no mic, no special effects . Just his raw voice sounds like he is in the studio everytime no matter how or whete he sings it. Great voice!
The irony of how dangerous a flame could be 😉! Hairstyles aside, great flash back song! Well played, well played indeed!👂👍 Legendary memories! Thank you!
I'm sure Cheap Trick surprised 🎉 alot of people with this song ! They were such a great, rock band 🎸 I had the privilege of seeing them, with Ted Nugent and The Baby's back in the late 70's and they blew everyone away! I guess 😂 it only makes sense, that a great band could come out with a love song as beautiful 🦋🌷🌹 as The Flame 🔥 ❣️
Lifelong dream to meet this incredible artist. Have been to 24 CHEAP TRICK concerts over my life and never lucky enough to have met this man. Still hopeful some day!!
I heard this song in may of 1990. Lost a dear person i really looked up to. I had turned 18 years old on February 17 of the same year. Man, it hurt so bad. I was a senior in high school about to graduate. My first real hiccup as an adult. Took me a very long time to even semi deal with my loss. I had never been through this before. Im 52 now and been through it many times now. I have to say it doesn't get any easier when you really deep down in your soul love someone. But i like to believe im a little stronger now because of the Grace of God. He gives me so much peace that can only come from Him.
I'm so glad we have video of these great groups its the only way to go back and remember what a great and simple time we had and old friends we've lost along the way 😪
I had a stroke on 2/1/2024. I woke up without use if my whole right side and my speech was garbage. I sing songs like this for my recovery and its helping. I can walk, talj, and use my right arm now, not 100 pct but im getting better.
I was born in 88 so I grew up listening to this💗 My mama has great taste in music and Cheap Trick was my very first concert with her 💗 I love you Sheila Kay💗
Ever since i heard this song when I'm 21 that time ,.it became one of my favorite,.reminded me of how good those days was...now i'm 36 and i keep playing this song til i get older maybe
Soy joven de 18 años recién y puedo decir que las músicas de los 80 son únicas y muy bonitas, y puedo asegurar que esta es la verdadera música sana que cura el alma, no como la música basura de la actualidad que da asta asco saludos a toda a esa gente de cultura buena, Grande la banda de Cheap trick❤ fans
Robins a great vocalist. Not only does have a great range, tone. He emotes in a very special way. It may not be in your distinctive, but as soon as you hear it, you know it him. Sure hope to see them live soon.
There are some songs that the lyrics will always hold meaning and a place in your heart from the first time you hear it to the day you take your last breath . This is one of those songs .

So in March will it be a bad song?
I heard Cheap Trick on the Steve Dahl show, excited about the upcoming release of this song.
(I listened on a cheap transistor radio, easily stashed away ; I grew up Amish)
And you ended up buying a car, right? Remember electricity is evil LOL LOL@@lamarschlabach3933
GREAT SONG. 😢😂😢
Timeless imo. Another great power ballad from the 80s.
2024 still burning that flame
My husband at the time would play this for me. We're not together anymore 😊
am listening right now
One of the very last of the great power ballads
❤
In 2024, April... It's not about the era... It's about the enduring lyrics. Always... ❤
We are the flame
Light beams
For me it's always been the melody and sound production.
And the gorgeous Robin Zander... 🥰

Just saw Robin Zander at the Florida Theatre in Jacksonville. At age 71, he still sounds incredible just like the original song!
Cool!
My Dad is 82 and he still loves listening too this group
My sons favorite song , I played it for his funeral. Tears explode from the depth of my soul now when I hear it. I cannot thank cheap trick enough for writing such a ballad.
For as long as I live this song will forever bring my son and his life back to me…

One of the prettiest love songs ever written
The long hair era... One of the best songs ever written.
Your son never left you, he's always with you. Remember he's like a Flame. God Bless
Goosebumps
Thank you ❤❤❤
My first wife and I loved this song. She died in my arms in 2021, and hearing it still brings her back. RIP Terri.

@@Gingerspicelife Thank you-and I for yours. Nothing leaves a hole like the death of a spouse.
Sorry for your loss
I can’t believe they originally didn’t want to record this song and have it on the album, absolute classic. What a voice
2024 and still one of my best song 🫰🥰✨
These guys have performed one of the best love songs ever written. There’s hardly a love song out there that just nails it as The Flame does. They sing it with pure passion and pain. I’m hoping my ex wife listens to it.
❤
Was my song to my Donna in 88 when we got our first apartment as a couple. She passed in 2015 and this for a moment brings her back.
In your heart ❤️ 4 ever
Condolences to you. My cousin who coincidentally was also named Donna passed away a few years back. She loved all these 80s songs. I miss her so much.
💐🕯🙏
😢My sincere condolences brother... I feel you
Sorry for your loss. But a great song to remember her by. ♥️
one of the greatest love songs of all time
35 years later and still touches me like the first time hearing it
Me too!
I've only just discovered it on a CD I bought at a charity shop.
This song reminds me of what made the 80's great. Back then people believed in love. Nowadays it's pretty much all about lust and one night stands.
Exactly this. ❤ Nobody loves anymore. I do.
Now it's all about hatred an they jus want to something wrong , the 80s the lyrics was how we felt❤
Gonna be 73 yrs old. Still loving this song. 👍
For an old guy you have a great taste in music…coming from a 79 year old ❤️
Me too
Sooo gorgeous...
The 80s - what a wonderful time to LIFE AND LOVE!!!

Dream Weaver. Is that a picture of you when you were young? I saw Journey open for Vanhalen when no one knew who they were. What a privilege.

No doubt !!
Who says they don't 🤦♀️
Do now
I still get emotional with this song
Beautiful 💋💘❤
Another drummer that was underappreciated his approach was clear and simple
Why is the grip backwards though? The traditional grip is the held the other way because drummers marching to war slung their drums around their left hip.
This is how I remember my mom
Hey mama wherever you are right now I miss you hope to see u soon
I lost my wife, 8 years ago today, I dedicated this song to her r.i.p ,my love 😢.
So sorry for your Great Loss! God Bless! ❤❤
She'll always live in your hear. May peace be with you.
Amen my friend
She is in Heaven and she can't wait until you come up to Heaven she will cry when she sees you very much
January of 2024 and I’m listening again and it’s taking me back to the best decade of my life!
Right on!
The 80s forever😊
80' S WHOA!! 🤘
And ever, and ever. 😎🎶🎵
This is likely one of the best songs written ever by musicians. It will last forever as a treasure of the human race…
I agree.
They don’t make songs like this anymore
An Anthem for our souls. Love Cheap Trick.
one of the best ballads of 80's !!!
😆
YES
absolutely.
Época boa de minha vida

September,2023 this music still rocks . Amazing vocals.
Come on what a voice. How can I not listen to this everyday! Pure Joy.
Love this song. Love the 80’s can’t get music like this anymore. Music today sucks…
1980...SONGS... YOUNGSTERS
This song is a piece of ART...

ALL THE WAY 80S BABY ❤💯
The voice from lead singer is epic. He could sing this song outside no mic, no special effects . Just his raw voice sounds like he is in the studio everytime no matter how or whete he sings it. Great voice!
My dad showed me this as a kid. Heard it thru the years many times and always loved it. Had no idea at 25 years old, it would hit like a dagger
a guy a person I needed gave me something on my back
Heck, it hits like that at 19.
Robin's voice is so beautiful. He really brings out a lot of emotions when he sings.
The irony of how dangerous a flame could be 😉! Hairstyles aside, great flash back song! Well played, well played indeed!👂👍 Legendary memories! Thank you!
This is my favorite best Cheaptrick song ever. Who else still listening in 2021?
Me! 😃
great song..
Meeeee :)

Fuckin’ right here! Rick is the shit!
I danced to this at my wedding in 1994. He picked the song. Lost him in 2005 to a motorcycle accident. You’ll Always Be The Flame

RIP
🥺May he RIP and Godspeed to you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your heart has healed as much as it can. Keep your memories close to your heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Music can take us back to happier times. I hope music and happy memories will help you through such a sad, difficult time.
This is Cheap Trick's only #1 Song, and it deserves recognition!❤😢😊
Yes ma'am 💖. However I didn't that.
1980's. There was never a better time to be a teenager. 👌
You are 💯 correct!!
Also one of my all time favorites…they are so underrated. Their live vocals are amazing and I see them every opportunity I get
ALWAYS LOVED THIS OUTSTANDING TUNE BY CHEAP TRICK. ITS A 10!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

This is one of those songs that makes you think of someone from a long time ago.
It makes me think of dark moonlit nights as a kid when I laid in bed looking out the window to see the moon and stars
I heard this song in may of 1990. Lost a dear person i really looked up to. I had turned 18 years old on February 17 of the same year. Man, it hurt so bad.

This is Cheap Trick at their best !,,,Robin sings a First class Power Ballad....Have known these guys from their first humble beginnings.
Unfortunately there first and only number 1
I'm so glad we have video of these great groups its the only way to go back and remember what a great and simple time we had and old friends we've lost along the way 😪

Keep singing 🙌🏼
So glad you are doing better.
Wish you recovery completely....
I wish you speedy recovery, good sir.
Keep up the good work. It's not your time to go.
A well deserved #1
I was born in 88 so I grew up listening to this💗 My mama has great taste in music and Cheap Trick was my very first concert with her 💗
I love you Sheila Kay💗
Ever since i heard this song when I'm 21 that time ,.it became one of my favorite,.reminded me of how good those days was...now i'm 36 and i keep playing this song til i get older maybe
As a 15 yr old when you first hear it ,it has one meaning. Then at 54 that meaning changes. Love this song and this era
1988 was a phenomenal year for music!
The entire 80's...golden era of music. So glad I was a part of that generation.
I know this son is a love jam. I Remember my old man screaming this son to us his sons and telling us were his firsts and last 😢
God bless this man's heart
I'll never get tired listening to this song over and over again.

There are some songs that the lyrics will always hold meaning and a place in your heart from the first time you hear it to the day you take your last breath . This is one of those songs .
So true! Reminds me of my first love and how I felt when we broke up. I loved her so much and never have forgotten her
