    My mom used to work nights when I was a kid and this song would come on the radio as I sat by the window waiting for her to come home at 10. One of the loneliest times of my life but this song certainly was there to keep me company. Thank you, Sir Rod!

    Wonderful masterpiece from late 1989. My grandmother was a big fan of Rod Stewart since the 1960s, and she used to blast this song in her 1992 Buick station wagon taking the kids to family reunions. She lost her battle with lung cancer in 2017, and downtown train sill brings me tears remembering the worry-free times we had in the 1990s and early 2000s.

    I’m 22 y/o from Mexico and I really thank my parents for showing me Rod’s music since I was 7 y/o. My parents were always worried about showing my siblings and I what the good music really feels like and how it fills the soul.
    My mom particularly is a huge Rod Stewart and Phil Collins fan. She had a stroke 3 years ago and fortunately she is still alive and having her best life. Life truly gave her a second chance.
    Now that I’m a grown man, learned 4 different languages, still studying b.s Accounting & finance and working full time for one of the most prestigious companies in Washington DC, what I’ll do with my first paycheck and bonus will be taking my parents to Las Vegas to see Sir Rod Stewart perform on live stage and thank them and life for everything they’ve done for me.
    If not for my parents I wouldn’t a) discover Rod Stewart’s great music and b) have the chance to attend to the best schools, get a good education and have a job that allows me to take my parents to watch Sir Rod the day of my birthday with me!!
    Life’s a gift, live it intensely until the last day, just like this 77yo rockstar :)

I I think my second concert…I was about 19-20 I guess….around 1984, I saw Van Halen and David Lee Roth was so drunk off his ass that he couldn’t even able to properly perform “Jump• ~ Eddie Van Halen was engaged to Valerie Bettinelli and brought her out on a stage…she was so shy.; however, we didn’t get our money’s worth for that concert but it wasn’t the rest of the band’s fault.

      I can't get enough of this one ..
      His mid-to-late 80's music is beautiful and timeless.. more and better instrumentation helped grow him as an artist and convey the inner emotion of his singing...

    This jewel of a record is simply the best ‘cover’ of any song from that entire era.
    The haunting lyrical genius of Tom Waits’ song, but completely reimagined by a certified legend, 18 years after Sir Rod’s iconic record ’Maggie May’.
    That is a career that just never seemed to end, & Rod has sounded technically excellent throughout his long career when other stars faltered. He practices & studies voice, he has always been a student of his art.
    Every second of this performance is charged with nearly unheard of power & romance. One of my top 40 records of all time. Gahhh!🫠
