This is still a great song to listen to even today as it was when he came out with it years ago. So easygoing and relaxing to listen to. It's sad that Dave Loggins passed away. He was a great artist and will be truly missed.
So sorry the world lost this beautiful soul. Your songs & music filled our hearts & will live on. Now you can fill the heavens with your kindness & spirit. 😥 💙🙏💙
If I had known I would have driven downtown to Charlotte Ave, parked and just stood outside with my hand on the building to silently say a prayer and to say thank you. I never would have entered the building and invaded anyone's privacy. Just a goodbye from outside, close by. Then on my way back home. This song meant so much to me back in the day. Rest in peace Dave Loggins.
Today, July 12th,2024 I read that Dave Loggins passed at 76. He was in hospice carr So sad to learn of another wonderful songwriter pass away. This song always makes me think of someone I lost in college to a drunk driver. She was only 20. Imagine, Jessica Alba, Kaley Cuoco, Christina Applegate, and Jenifer Love Hewitt all rolled into one girl Thay was her. She had a smile thatcwould illuminate the darkest room. She passed in 1980. Today I m married 40 years and I love my wife to the moon and back. However, ironically today is her birthday and my mind stops and looks up to the heavens. R.I.P. Sandy.
My condolences to you. I've never heard of this song but like many, mourn the lost of great artists that etch life's memories and experiences in our hearts and minds with their gift.
Im an old man now.A retired Marine.I know,after having accidently run across this song while scrolling,that as soon as I listen to it now...tears will flow once again.Curse this soft heart of mine.
@Ingerul_Mortii - NO SIR! I BLESS your soft, lonely heart! I am 70, and I understand! For reasons I don't understand, I woke up today with this song running through my mind, such an earworm, making me tear up just hearing it in my mind! So, I decided I needed to pull up the song and actually listen, and then maybe the earworm will go away! Ended up blubbering! Then I read your comment! Thank you for your service, and for your soft heart!
You have served your country, do not feel this way about yourself. I have not been in your shoes. Only men OF men handle the pain, rare and few these days. How could you not know you are this man. Maybe your the number one man? You are loved, push , hard push. Win or loose who cares? Your alive, live it honorably once again.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVE LOGGINS, THE WRITER AND PERFORMER OF: PLEASE COME TO BOSTON. ( 1974 ). He died tonight at age 76. THE CITIES OF BOSTON, DENVER, AND L.A. SAY: THANKS FOR THE TRIP, DAVE… YOU’LL BE MISSED. Kenneth Huang. 7/12/24.
This was a special song for me and my late husband. I sang it to him as he was dying. It has been 4 years today since I lost him. I miss him and this song always makes me cry.
It hurts so bad to lose a partner. I'm so glad I was there with him in the end, I didn't think I could do it, God help me, I made it through and I don't regret it.
I’m so sorry for your profound loss. I lost my sweetheart in 2o12 and miss him only more and love him as much as ever. Beautiful song. I hope you’re managing well. Peace Colorado
Me too. And I agree with you. Wouldn’t trade the seventies for anything, no shootings in America like today, 5 cent candy bars, 10 cent 16oz Pepsi or coke, 9 dollar concert tickets, 7 dollar case of beer
It seems like only yesterday it was 1974, and this song was a hit. Rest in peace Dave and thanks for this great song as we remember The Golden Year, 1974.
I was born in Tennessee in ‘71…and until the day I pass from this life, this will be one of *the most beautiful* songs I’ve ever been blessed to enjoy. Some songs are so much more than the sum of their parts.
What great lyrics: "We'll throw I love you echoes down the canyon and lay awake at night until they come around," and "There's some stars that fell from the sky living upon the hill." Rest in peace, Mr. Loggins.
I love singer-songwriters. I love beautifully written songs. I love quiet, simple songs. I love real singers and real musicians. I love singers who draw you into their stories. I love THIS song. Rest in Power Dave Loggins. Your music will live forever.
@@diva70smusic Check out DanFogelberg if you Check Dan Fogelberg if you haven’t already. Fave song of his just sent miraculously to me, called Don’t Lose Heart. 💜
Joe , it's that kinda - song ! It took me hostage upon its release 74 ! I hope this reply finds ya in in Good health & spiritz ! I'm Ray & 64. Best wishes to you & yours !.
I grew up listing to this song in the 80's (When I was 10 years old). Out of all the songs I remember my dad playing (1000's) this song stuck with me. As I got older I searched on google using parts of the song and found out who the singer was and the name of the song. WoW! I'm 45 years old now and still remember that song getting played enough for it to be a part of my childhood. Keep in mind that that I was also an MTV kid. So the fact that this song has stayed with me my whole life is a testament to the talent of Dave Loggins. (FYI- When I bring up the name Dave Loggins to my music-crazed friends they don't know this song and it blows me away.) How does such an amazing song get lost over time? Well, Dave Loggins, you had an impact on my life growing up and you will always be remembered in my heart.
I have a song like that, Make The World Go Away by Eddy Arnold, it was the one my dad would play over and over and it became one of my favorites too, but people that say they listen to country ask me what my favorite song is I tell them and just get the blank stare, but again I've been listening to country music since the 60s and most of them think that country music started with Garth Brooks or George Strait.
No matter how old it gets, it still resonates with all of us as we have all been there to a certain degree. If you never felt this about anyone then you wish you had. Still reflects life and love
This song came out when I was in the throes of heartbreak. My first husband had told me that we married too young and he wanted to date other girls. Twenty-five years later he got back in touch, but by then i was remarried with adult children. We remained friends via email until he died at 53 in 2007. It's funny but i think we always loved each other. Life really has its bittersweet moments.
last curtain call, Dave. You will be missed. I always loved that this song was written as fictional (there was no "girl" in the real life version). Storytelling in song is something I've done since I was 12 and still likely could, except that no one ever wanted to hear them. But you, my friend, had a real gift.
Dad was a corporate pilot, as a kid he was gone a lot. But sometimes when he was home, he'd pick me up after bathtime and we'd go downstairs. Nothing sinister! We just rocked in the armchair and belted out these songs. It was the biggest happy time I remember.
Such beautiful memories you have. My Dad died 30 years ago. I miss him so much sometimes. We never had moments like that. He was an alcoholic and slept a lot, but I always wanted him to love me like that. He sobered up before he died and we spent his last 2 years of life hanging out when I wasn’t working. Simple things like hikes, walks on the beach in the fall, and then long drives when he was having a hard time breathing. I wish I had more time to get to know him. Now I’m in my late 50’s and wish I had asked him so many things. I’m hoping he’s in heaven and I will see him again.
Happy Birthday Dave Loggins born on November 10, 1947. He is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Loggins is best known for his 1974 song composition "Please Come to Boston", which was a No. 5 popular music success (No. 1 Easy Listening) in the U.S. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1995. He is the second cousin of singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Loggins
I was 10 years old when this song came out. I remember walking through my parents' living room and seeing him perform it on stage on the TV. I fell in love with it immediately, and I've replayed it thousands of times since. The nostalgia it carries with it will never fail to bring me peace. RIP Dave.
I never tire of listening to this man's voice. Why anyone chooses to cover Please Come to Boston, I don't know. He's the only one who can sing it like he does.
Semper Fi fellow Marine. And we will have tears that flow, especially as we got older. My brothers and I still shed tears when we remember things from the past. Our hearts have a memory, let the tears flow.
I was a teenager when this song came out. I would wait to hear it on the radio for days on end, and then, finally hearing it, I couldn't stop singing that main chorus.... the lyrics are just so beautiful. R.I.P. to a wonderful artist who takes me back in time. ❤ 🎶
I fell in love with this song in 2005 when I was ramblin’ to Arizona to try and find my place in the world. I would play it over and over again. Now, after so many years and so many places I’ve called home since then, I have settled back in Tennessee where I will live forever. And this song will always remind me that you will never know where you truly belong until you’ve been where you don’t.
Many years ago I was in a relationship with a guy who was a DJ and he would always play this song for me. He has since passed away but whenever I hear this song it brings back those romantic memories.
Dave, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Paul Simon - so many great songwriters of the 70s who put today’s “musicians” to shame. RIP Dave, thanks for the memories.
It's funny how a song that you haven't heard in a long time will pop into your mind. I was sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee, and I kept humming this song. ❤ I had no idea he had just passed away July 10, 2024. Rest in peace. ❤
Dave Loggins, in my opinion, is one of the BEST singer/songwriters of all time! He has so many good songs and his voice is so emotive. Pieces of April and Secondhand Lady are also excellent songs !!
My baby sings the David Allan Coe version and my heart melts.. I like the outlaw version.. bad boy sings a sweet lovin song to his woman ..🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love the original too.. what a beautiful song.. he needs her ..and she needs him..
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Living the life of a drifter, chasing the dream. Everyone deserves to have someone who accepts them as they are and who loves them unconditionally. I would hope that, at the end, he goes home to her.
This is what songwriting is all about. This is a song, not just a disposable piece of pop music. I've loved this song ever since it came out. The 70s had some of the greatest songs ever. Most pop music today is just the aural equivalent to fast food.
It was quite a year, 1974, particularly for Vietnam veterans drifting through an America hostile or indifferent to their sacrifice, and with a sort of hippie culture left over from the late 1960s.
Oh, the hippies were around for a long time, a lot of them settled in my neighborhood. I remember them from the 80’s, artists, carpenters, and all around long haired freaky people.
Godspeed Dave Loggins. Thank you for your beautiful voice & thoughtful lyrics. This song lives in my head on repeat & always brings back such fond memories. ❤
Just saw he passed today . God speed music man !!! You lived life well
This is still a great song to listen to even today as it was when he came out with it years ago. So easygoing and relaxing to listen to. It's sad that Dave Loggins passed away. He was a great artist and will be truly missed.
Had to play this today RIP😔
Actually, he died.
@@JeffC-fq1be , I know that's why I posted what I did.
@@WillyWhite-v5j If you say so.
Rest in Peace, Dave. You'll never know how many times I have, and will, play this track. Thanks so much for your beautiful music.
So sorry the world lost this beautiful soul. Your songs & music filled our hearts & will live on. Now you can fill the heavens with your kindness & spirit. 😥 💙🙏💙

Powerful, great perfect song. They don't make songs like this anymore. Glad I grew up in the 70's.
Some do. Check out Effron White. I love this song, too. It’s the Kleenex for a broken heart.

SO sorry for your loss. We lost our daughter in 2012 and songs like this make me cry
I was 16 in 1974. What a wonderful time to grow up!
Me too. And I agree with you. Wouldn’t trade the seventies for anything, no shootings in America like today, 5 cent candy bars, 10 cent 16oz Pepsi or coke, 9 dollar concert tickets, 7 dollar case of beer
I was 12, a free spirit in the 70's. Thankful for our music and those simple times. RIP Dave Loggins.❤
The 90's were pretty cool. Really any time before smart phones.
15 yrs.old What a wonderful time.
It really was. I was a sophomore in college and even tho' we still had Vietnam, it was definitely simpler times and the music was incredible.
Woke up to Dave Loggins' song in my head. Thanks for that, Dave. If you only created one thing in your life, this song would be enough.
I did too. One of my favs
Sounds like a insults I think his signing is Great
@@marysaylor9510 Thing about signing is you can't hear it. I do like his singing, though.
How funny, there are times I wake up with this song in my head also. Lonely I guess.
It actually made an appearance in my dream last night, so I wanted to listen to the original after I woke up.
It seems like only yesterday it was 1974, and this song was a hit. Rest in peace Dave and thanks for this great song as we remember The Golden Year, 1974.
I was born in Tennessee in ‘71…and until the day I pass from this life, this will be one of *the most beautiful* songs I’ve ever been blessed to enjoy.
Some songs are so much more than the sum of their parts.
Born in 59 and agree 100%
The song is perfection
Soo true
Such a great time to live guys. This song does seem to preserve the taste, feel, and smell, of a time. Yeh, kinda perfect 😊😢
I was born in '52, and this song has always been special to me as well. Sheer perfection
This is why I follow Rick Beato. To discover amazing music like this song, that I would probably never find by myself
Perhaps Rick should feature this on his "What Makes This Song Great?" series.
It’s just so good. We may not know why like Rick but we still know.
Listen to Paul Davis, I go crazy
What great lyrics: "We'll throw I love you echoes down the canyon and lay awake at night until they come around," and "There's some stars that fell from the sky living upon the hill." Rest in peace, Mr. Loggins.
This song always dropped tears. Still did today. Rest in Peace Friend 🧡
Rest in Peace Dave Loggins
Been listening to this song since I was 10...50 years ago

Rest in peace, Mr. Loggins… is one of the most perfectly written songs ever
I use to sing this to my ex wife in the 70s….saw her about a year ago in a Wal Mart…. I sang it one more time and walked away

I hope this reply finds ya in in Good health & spiritz ! I'm Ray & 64.
Best wishes to you & yours !.
Why? The potency of this song stirs the spirit.
Joe gotta let me go cuz Joe isn't even in the know. Feed these ASAP but not Joe oh no. G
I mumbled love for years beleing that this ain't your kind would show up majestically and rescue me.yummy sobg
Finally what happened to both of you, Joe and Georgia ? 😮
One of the most beautiful ballads I’ve ever heard.
His voice is blissful
I don’t even listen to this type of music but this is absolutely fantastic.

Heard it in 1974, 1984, and 1991
48 here.....same. The song remembers when.
Never change who you are … you are special, please believe in (you)
No matter how old it gets, it still resonates with all of us as we have all been there to a certain degree. If you never felt this about anyone then you wish you had. Still reflects life and love

I had a similar situation.
❤
We never know what life throws at us
Had a cassette of this when I was little, played it til the pad fell off, glued it back and played it some more. Masterpiece
And used a pencil to rewind it so you could play it again. Ahh the memories
I grew up with my 86 yr old uncle playing it on Lead guitar. Fine Musician
An often under-appreciated gem, just like a big part of 70's music the lyrics are absolutely beautiful . Thank you for giving us this song.
Why would play him this dumb song on his death bed? Sounds like last minute torture.
Everybody I know knows and loves this song. Not underappreciated here in Southern Ca.
Okay you did say often, but not by anyone I know.
Indeed thank you love

Hadn't heard this song in years. Now I've listened to it 25 times in the last couple days. Love it
should be laws against SONGS written this well Mark stay well
Me too!
Me too
Same here.
Totally totally understand
Dad was a corporate pilot, as a kid he was gone a lot. But sometimes when he was home, he'd pick me up after bathtime and we'd go downstairs. Nothing sinister!
We just rocked in the armchair and belted out these songs.
It was the biggest happy time I remember.
Such beautiful memories you have. My Dad died 30 years ago. I miss him so much sometimes. We never had moments like that. He was an alcoholic and slept a lot, but I always wanted him to love me like that.

Rest in peace man. Sigh, we're getting old...
First time hearing this today. I'm adding it to my playlist. RIP Dave you just made a new fan
RIP Mr. Loggins. You were born just up the road from me.
Absolutely fantastic, for a Ramblin 64 year old!
I listen to this with my eyes closed.
R.I.P Dave. You were a blessing to all of us !!!!😢
One of my favorite ballads of all time. The lyrics are just amazing.
Graduated from high school that early June. Please Come To Boston was certainly a song of the summer, a great number.
With a voice like that, I was always surprised he didn't have more solo hits! Love this song!
You know he was with Loggins and Messina?
@@Mouser21 Nope. Wrong Loggins.

Grew up listening to this classic! Love it!
I fell in love with this song in 2005 when I was ramblin’ to Arizona to try and find my place in the world. I would play it over and over again. Now, after so many years and so many places I’ve called home since then, I have settled back in Tennessee where I will live forever. And this song will always remind me that you will never know where you truly belong until you’ve been where you don’t.
GREAT SONG. GREAT SINGER
How is Tennesee

Too much hype and too little talent with some of the artists of today.
Its a shame that we have to go back in time 50 years to listen to real music! 🎵 🎶
Pure and honest. The way we should aspire to be.
No real music is done theses days!

He sounds much older,in a cool sorta way,like he's been around the block a time or two. A seasoned,well traveled drifter type. Lol
@@raycatlin3554 He was 76.😔🙁RIP Dave.♥️
My baby sings the David Allan Coe version and my heart melts.. I like the outlaw version.. bad boy sings a sweet lovin song to his woman ..🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love the original too.. what a beautiful song.. he needs her ..and she needs him..
This song has stood the test of time. It has no age; just a timeless classic.
Love this song!❤
My first boyfriend introduced this song to me in 1986, RIP Jim
He's in a better place. Please keep your head up and stay safe. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️ ♥️ 🙌 🙏 ❤️
He had great taste! Rest easy Jim!
His voice has so much "want" in it. LOVE THIS SONG!
So true. This is one of the few songs that brings tears to my eyes. So much heartbreak in this song.
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Living the life of a drifter, chasing the dream. Everyone deserves to have someone who accepts them as they are and who loves them unconditionally. I would hope that, at the end, he goes home to her.
No, he didnt.
This is what songwriting is all about. This is a song, not just a disposable piece of pop music. I've loved this song ever since it came out. The 70s had some of the greatest songs ever. Most pop music today is just the aural equivalent to fast food.
True...😮😊
Your not more right. I have a playlist full of 150+ classics like these, not a single song after 2010 is on it
thx, you said it all. greetings from austria.
Well 😢 said
He did great work, this song is one of the many that was the soundtrack of my childhood. Rest well.
RIP and thanks for the music
This is such a beautiful song. 🎵 “I’m the number fan of the man from Tennessee”🎵 RIP Dave Loggins!! 🙏🏾❤️
It was quite a year, 1974, particularly for Vietnam veterans drifting through an America hostile or indifferent to their sacrifice, and with a sort of hippie culture left over from the late 1960s.
I heard this in the 70s, particularly 1974 and I979.
Oh, the hippies were around for a long time, a lot of them settled in my neighborhood. I remember them from the 80’s, artists, carpenters, and all around long haired freaky people.
Indeed...1974 was a watershed year for a wide variety of reasons.
Oorah!
Nearly all those hippies I knew then are grey haired conservatives now. Very few exceptions.
Thank you for posting this great song.☺
One if my all time favourite Dave Loggins tracks. A great singer and songwriter. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖
Jeannette...I was working on my truck this P.M...strangely started singing this tune. Very good lyrics..,no doubt, I liked Elvis.. he was a good soul.
You have great taste and a great name
@@davidpalmer963 Elvis was never the man from Tennessee. He was the man from Tupelo, Mississippi.
First heard this when I was 5 years old. This type of music runs through my blood. It will resonate forever
i just love this song. A bit sad but the lyrics are amazing. This brings back some great memories during times of change and introspection.
I've always loved this song!
Love this song.
My very first 45 record.
I'm back some time since my last post, what a great voice, and the lyrics never change.... One can only love it!
WHAT A SONG!
Being from Boston and living in (and loving!) Tennessee, this song really hits me deep.. just wish I had a girl who loves me like that! Lol
A song that every now and then crosses over time and back into my life, and hits me like a bomb every single time. ❤️😭
Yes... and it sucks. ❤
@@hipchicagal2111 , as so many great love songs do. But in the best way…
Damn, well stated. I agree I woke up with this in my head from out of the blue.
A beautiful song of regret 😢
Odd
Soothing melodies never hit me like a 'bomb'
This song I will always cherish ❤️ I'm a Tennessee girl. It reminds me of my Daddy.RIP
Me too!
Ima Louisiana man.
How sweet of a memory of your Daddy! 😇😇
Love this one!
This type of stuff was my father's music he played against mechanic garage since I was a boy..... I'm not a boy anymore and it's my music now
Godspeed Dave Loggins. Thank you for your beautiful voice & thoughtful lyrics. This song lives in my head on repeat & always brings back such fond memories. ❤
I love your song, sorry to see you go but your music is here to stay....
