At age 69, I am so glad I grew up in a time of the best music ever produced!
Me too we had great groups and music like Firefall😢❤
I’ve been seeing these bands when ever they come to Chicago. Great times!
I'm 64 know what you mean
61 here. Same feeling, bro!
U got that right
Whos listening in July 2023? Come with me...we are going back to 1978...LETS GO!!!!!
Right here, with you!!!!
I totally agree great times in 1978
Abril 2024.
MAY 2024
2024 and I’m still listening
Music today is so sad compared to the 60's and 70's!! Young kids don't know what they missed.
We get to enjoy both eras
This is so true
Class of 72 checking in - you are correct and it's a shame
I agree so sad.
I don’t see this song as happy.
Quarantined and wishing I could go back to 1978 when I didn’t have a care in this world
Oh man that is so true...me too
@@kathienordstrom4530 I agree this is one of the best bands I ever heard..and there have been a lot of them...I never heard a bad song by them...
Me too, innocent times. I was 11
70's was the best, dam I sure miss the good ole days
@@Sparky62764 Pinto or Vega? Lol. 73 Toyota Corona 4 door for me.
This song absolutely takes me back in time, as 1978 was one of the absolute best years of my life!!!!!!!! 💯😎👍
I remember hearing this song for the first time on my way to Green Ramp at Pope AFB as we prepped for a mass formation jump at Ft. Bragg. We paratroopers loved this song and FIREFALL.
78 79 80 all magnificent years indeed
Me too. A college student just getting through the classes to fall in love with the next good looking guy!
I always call 1978 the greatest year ever.
Same for me... love it 😊
2023 and still playing this track over and over. Just brings back such awesome memories. 🎶👍🎶👍
You're right on the money, those were great times and Firefall was amazing.
I saw these guys open for Fleetwood Mac when I was 16 or 17.... Even though we were all waiting for Stevie, Firefall was so good that I became a lifelong fan. They were always viewed as Eagles light, which was really unfair, a great group of musicians in their own right!
Dam what a great concert to have gone to.❤
2023 and still loving this music. Would love to go back
Absolutely absolutely 😊😊😊
What an underrated talented band. Love this song.
@@hindubodhkongpala Are you on drugs?
From one Cheryl Ann to another...EXACTLY!!!
Rite on rite on
They were an excellent band.
Hogwash
When music was magical. And performed by talented musicians.
1978 Stellwagon Bank Southeast of Gloucester 11.00 pm aboard the Misty Ann when this song really captured the moment
Exactly brother, I have played in alot of bands over my time...nothing great just an above average bar bands mostly. This type music is the best to perform and people appreciate you for it. The most requested songs come from the 70's Oh, and you had better know Mustang Sally and Free bird....
A MASTERPIECE: LYRICS, VOCALS, ARRANGEMENTS, smooth RHYTHM CHANGES, SWEETENING flute, keyboard, bongos, letting song BREATHE, not rushed, forced, each instrument blends creating a musical tapestry. BRAVO! 💖🙏🏾🎵
My favorite tine
I seen these guys at Six Flags St. Louis about 1977, one of my favorite songs and bands of all time. ☺
Where did great music like this go? The lead vocal and the arrangement behind this song is incredible..love this song.
What happened we lived in a very special period of time with music. Remember Rock and Roll was brand new. First created by black blues musicians way back. With a lot of stories to tell. All natural sitting around just having fun. As time went on the electric guitar was created an it was all new never done before. So what I'm getting at is every Frase or phrase. Or just about every word has been turned into music. So now a days it hard to come up with a great song with a subject that hasn't already been in a song.
2024 still kickin ass at 62 years old
The 70’s and 80’s were some of the best years of my life, and it helped that the music was top notch back then. ❤
They were the best years for many of us. There will never be another time like the 70s and 80s for music and just socializing! Unfortunately our world has become a shit hole of hate. When I get to the pearly gates I'm telling the Man just let me relive the 70s and 80s for eternity
You will never find music like this from the 70s
again. Real talent.
Yes we had beautiful music great groups time machine please lol😅❤
the best thing about TH-cam is you find music like this!!!!
Totally agree with you!
Totally agree I never heard the song till today and I love it.
xmas-CHRISTMAS- You are so right
I miss songs like this like Slow Dancing Swayin to the Music and Nights are Forever Without You
So true
Firefall still touches the deepest part inside your heart with this song. Never tire of hearing it.
Nov 2018
Love your Handle! Cheers from Canada!You look like a very pretty lady!
Bands with actual talent and great cars made the 70's unlike any other decade since.
truer words may not have been spoken
It doesn't matter to me what style of music. I miss the 70's everyday we had something new to listen too.
If it was the Rolling Stone or Quarterflash, Pink Floyd, Firefall . We had the best music.
Who's listening in 2020?? Great hit song~
🖐
true rock fans, with open minds on different types of rock music - I love metal, AOR, Yacht/Soft and Pop Rock
I always wanna be in the 70s with real music with meaning
I'm in 2021
@@allanmoore3610 Likewise here, Al.
Hauntingly beautiful song!
Absolutely correct
Rite on😊😊😊
2024 who listening to the magnificent tune indeed😊😊😊
I am 76 now and still only feed my soul with this old REAL music!
If you ever wanted to know what the 70s were like for those of us lucky to have seen and heard it, just listen to this song. Pure as the driven snow.
You can't here better music than this
Well put my friend
I remember sitting by my AM/FM stereo with a little tape recorder hoping I’d hear it so I could record it!!! Sounds so silly with how far we’ve come with music and its technology today but that’s what made it so sweet and special.
Damn Skippy!
@@cinnamongirl7877 lol I miss Napster. I would stay up all night downloading songs. Missed this one though darn it.
Firewall, i love harmony in music. This band was harmony bliss!! Love these guys!!!
I saw these guys, along with Eddie Money, Huey Lewis and the News, and Heart, all at the same show. Each performance impeccable. What a concert!
So much talent my lord didn’t realize how lucky I was to be listening as they were played on the car radio. Grew up enough for basics couldn’t purchase music
There is nothing to compare...takes me back to a BEAUTIFUL time in music ❤
Yes....
The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were a veritable cornucopia of musical styles and genres.
You could hear anything from Glenn Miller to Frank Zappa.
Diane C.; Not only is the music beautiful; so r u.
This song is a masterpiece a real classic
Absolutely
@@andrewpetik2034 One hundred percent spot on. 💯
I play this over and over. Never gets old.♥️
Rite on
Me too! I come and watch this video weekly!
Brings back good and sad memories. At 70 I need that to keep my mind going. Plus, it's a great song!
Never!!!!
The 70's were the best time for music ever!
One of the best best songs of this era in time❤
I have got to get my time machine fixed.
Let me know when you got it fixed....😉
I need a ride to 1970 when you get it fixed.
@@acespade6640 you guys can drop me off at 1975.

debgibsonfan Amen!
+debgibsonfan Dead on target. I miss those times, and the music from then, so much.
You know it
Much better time
Nice to have a time machine
Beautifully multi-layered sound...like the perfect hybrid of America, Jefferson Starship and Jethro Tull. The strings add a haunting quality that make it an amazing song.
Yes!! I’ve recently been listening to a lot of Jefferson Starship. I’ll never forget when “Miracles” came out. It was my freshman year in high school, I was in love and the world was perfect. 😉
@@cinnamongirl7877
My friend, it appears we are exactly the same age and were experiencing the same thing in the same time-frame. I remember necking with my beau in the backseat of a car when "Miracles" came on the radio. Good memories.
@@Kate-hu5uz OMG, you gals, me too! Plus I was madly in love with Marty Balin, the face, the voice - I was crushed when he died a few years ago! Listen to "Today" when he was in Jefferson Airplane, I melt.
We were truly blessed growing up in the’60’s and’70s
I grew up with this song and all of the other amazing music from the 70s and I wouldn’t trade it for any other era, I will listen to this song to the day I die…
I lived in Colorado Springs in the late 70's and early 80's. These guys were in Boulder. Greatest time of my life. No music is better than the late 60's up through about mid 80's. I sure miss that time. Seemed like I didn't have a care in the world. I miss those days.
I lived in woodman valley 65-80
I lived in Boulder 1970-83 -- nice small town back in the day.
You’re so lucky!
So many talented performers in the 70's, that are so missing from today's music!
It’s right here; in front of you 😊
Yes beautiful haunting lyrics ❤
Loved it back then in 1978...still lovin it at age 56 in 2023.
What a time traveler song.. ❤
These guys are so talented. This is such a great song. Always blast their music when it comes on.
Who’s listening in 2022? This is the best!!!So glad I rediscovered them. 😍
Growing up in the 70's, they were my favorite group. Still listen to them today.
The eagles Duran Duran expose bananarama heart journey tears for fears glen Frey all these groups I enjoy😊😊😊
One of my favorite songs of all time. I was a lonely teenager at the time, but the music got me through it.
I definitely feel you! Great song and got me through a lot. God Bless!!
Music gets you through anything...
I hear you my friend my sentiments exactly I was also lonely teenage boy
I'm right there with you !!!
Weren't we all at times
One of the best bands ever assembled-such talent. Rick Roberts and Larry Burnett were tremendous songwriters,the rest of the guys were also excellent-Mark Andes,Michael Clarke,David Muse and Jock Bartley.One of my Top 10 favorite bands ever easily one of the most underrated groups of all time.FIREFALL
79steelymatt exactly wonder way rick roberts never recieved his due. Great band great tunes.
Lou christie the gypsy cried out of ria
79steelymatt ...you are so right Matt...I was already a fan of The Eagles, Poco, Spirit, Jo Jo Gunne and The Byrds...so this sound was a natural....and had many former members of some of the bands listed. I saw Firefall just a few years ago with only Jock Bartley left but his band was incredible and they sounded just as good as they probably did in 1976!
Mike Lewis They blended so many sounds together that I like and they were a little too pop for true country rock fans but I feel their sound was a perfect blend of what I love in pop music
79steelymatt What's with the past tense? These guys still play a ton!
Such a great song; touches your soul! 🔥🎤🎼🎶🎸🔥
Rite on rite on 😊😊😊
Firefall: "Strange Way". 1978. Freshman in high school. Yeah that's the hair men wore back then. Music made with real musical instruments, by the way.
I was 10
And no “borrowing “ of anything. Just pure talent. I haven’t seen much of that in a while
D RadarMan same here
Sr. 78! The best
Sophomore in high school and loved this tune. Loved the way the strings seemed to "punch" that chorus, and the jazz interlude. Great piece of music.
I was merely a young kid when this song was popular,but it is one of those songs that instantly take me back to a good time in my life. Summers were spent at the pool, and the radio station was always on the local rock station...1978...1979...groups like Toto,Steely Dan,Ace,Player, Alan Parsons, Gary Wright, Gerry Raf ferry and these guys, Firefall dominated the summer lineup in a small town in Alabama. I didn't much like spending my summers there at first, but as time went on and I started growing up a little, I would love laying around the pool while soaking in the sun and getting an education in 70s rock...I. went on to like groups that were a little more rock...Zeppelin, KISS, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy...but I still have an affinity for that 70s FM radio rock and it takes me back to poolside on a beautiful summer day in Alabama...
Same
ditto--we gotta be about the same age cause i love all the bands you mentioned. classic!
I was married and in the air force lol. tribute to my first wife and mother of my successful kids.
TickleBiscuit /I love your mission
TickleBiscuit ...Sooooooo agree.
The greatest performance footage of anything I have found in a decade. The only band equally as all-around talented as the Eagles. Stunning!
I may have already commented on this extraordinary song but yes it takes me to special place that’s not easily explained! I have and always WILL love this song🤗💕💕💕
The original lineup of the band. I auditioned for them on drums when they were forming and obviously didn't make it. Love this band. Wish I could have been a part of it.
Firefall was one of my favorite groups of the 70s.Strange Ways was their finest song. Ricky Roberts lead vocals. Larry Burnette on Guitar, Jock Bartley on lead Guitar , Mark Anders on Bass, The late Michael Clarke on Drums and David Muse on Flute.
Sandy Ficca has been Firefall's drummer for nearly 40 years now (his son is Ryan Adam's drummer). Sandy rocks!
This song takes you back in time making you forget about the CoronaVirus and the riots. 🎼 📻
Yeah. The scamdemic and clot shots.

man --- we had some mighty fine music back then .. we were lucky enough to listen to this for the first time ...
This was and is still one of my favorite songs. Loved Firefall, Thanks for playing this song. June 2024
Great group. Underrated in my opinion. Lot’s of late 70s bands went through that.
Was driving my Cherokee to work today and this song came on Sirius. I cranked it up as long as my system would go. Fantastic. Now this song will be racking my brain for weeks to come but there is nothing wrong with that.
Yes. This song will stick in your head. Ear worm. But what a great song to have there. I sometimes can't get this one out of my dome. But better than what is currently out there. Remember when the radio was our best friend. Of course there is nothing wrong with that Seinfeld reference.
Same happened to me. Had to download it on Spotify so I could get my fix.
Great song 🎵 👌 lots of memories flowing back
I love Firefall. And it starts with this song. They deserve much more notice.
saw them in Baltimoremages ago opening for Heart. Some guys came for Firefall and not Heart.
I haven't heard this song in years and I listen to 70's music all the time. It really brought back memories.

A haunting great song.
Right on
Same guys who told Cinderella, G Damn girl, can't you see that I'm breaking my back just trying to keep my head above water...
I saw FireFall in 1987 while going to school at The Ohio State University. Rick Roberts was actually the lead vocalist. Of course Jock, David Muse were also there. They played for over 2 hours, and "Mexico" just blew the audience away! Before the show, the band did a meet/greet/ autograph session. They were all very cool. I brought the cassette cover for FireFall's Greatest Hits for the guys to sign. They all laughed because they thought that cover was ridiculous. Anyways, one of my all time favorite bands. I have everything they've ever done,
I must have so much 70s music in better than me. That one day this song came in my head I couldn't remember most of it and I couldn't remember who sang it. But I dug and searched and found it. One of the best songs in the 70s that was ever made I miss the 70s I miss how we grew up. And although there were bullies everywhere there were no suicides we took that crap and ran home or we learn to fight.
Love this tune! Great song, 70's was Jammin'!💗✌😍🤘🌞
Didn't stay on the charts long...but left a lasting impression....on me.
Ditto
Such talent music that touches the soul nothing better
Epic Song by a Talented group of True Musicians!
Kenneth Morrison 1 yes♥️

Absolutely correct
This song brings tears to my eyes and hurts my heart. I loved a girl named Sherry . She and I would go riding horses all the time. I lost Sherry. But I think about Sherry all the time. I'm 70 now and miss her every day. 🏴☠️
Thank you Candy, for turning me on to this great band. I remember us and 1978. Hope your life was well lived.
I love this tune very much who with me
I love music from the 60's-80's. It wasn't really HOW they LOOKED, it was the sound that was important. "Music" today could take a lesson or two.
One of my big influences when I began playing the guitar, 35 years ago!! Back when music was music.
I haven't heard a Rick Roberts song in years and just now - boom - I recall what a truly great voice he had. Great talent.
The music is gone, This is Music.!!
Rick Roberts voice on this song as well as so many of his other songs is just angelic. What a talented guy and should have done so much more. What a singer !! Writer !! and just amazing.
It's 2019 and STILL loving this tune......TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2/1/20 still love it
Just as powerful and exciting now as it was then. Thank you, Rick and guys. Love it still.
Takes me back to my college days. I loved this song as well as "Cinderella". Great band, very underrated.
I have always loved the full version of this song with the flute work at the end.
Love this song so many memories
you tubers , come on, build this video to 100+ million views like the super star group they were/are.
Damn,so grateful I lived and thrived in these times,woohoo!!!❤❤❤
There was a fantastic DJ in England who used to play latest American songs and he always played this one and it sounded fantastic in 1978 and still does today this song is a true masterpiece
One of my favorite songs!! Wow this live rendition sounds exactly like the studio.
I feel young again yet I’m 57 .
the bass line, the composition of this song is genius,damn I like it
Great song, Classic! There is no music these days like this.
I always loved this song. It really takes me back to the 70s.
Damn.. high school.. amazing pure music!!! I love this! Memories I’ll never forget!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊♥️♥️♥️♥️
Still one of my all time Favorite memories of my life!
music in the 70's had so much 💚 and soul. whether it was firefall or marvin gaye or bto or zeppelin. our tunes are still listened to by even todays generation because of the talent and the heart that went into each track. I went so mm ewhere with mm y son and his friends and they are late 20's and they were listening to heart, janis, and jimi. I felt right at home. this song by firefall was one of their best with a great flute solo in the live version, and the guitar rifs are placed perfect. Rickys tenor voice is probably the best male tenor in 70s rock. we can't compare him to ms wilson of course she is in a league all by her self.
Gregory Viers Agreed!! Grew up on this great music.
So tru
Gregory Viers Agree.. 70/80s is all I listen to anymore.
Yap no brainer as to when the best was
When music had substance and heart!! Bring back the music of the 70s!
One of my all-time favorite songs. This guy singing lead absolutely nails it.
One of those songs that takes you back to a time less stressful ,more loving and that one person this song is about!!
The flute solo was way cool at the time! Great Colorado band!
There is just something about this song! I put it on repeat in my car ! I just love this song !
Fall 1978. First semester of college in Denver, CO. This song just took me back there!
One of my favs from the 70's. The greatest decade for music ever!
This group sits on a high plane of existence!!!!!Magical, mysterious, timeless!!!! Great to see them play - true musicianship - the best!!!!!Love,Love Love this tune!
Loved this song when I was a senior in highschool, I still play it these days a long with the other great songs from 1960's, 70's.
In 1978 I was 15 yrs old going thru events out of my control. Firefall was a band I loved and Strange Ways really caught my ears. Flash forward 20 years and I am entangled with a woman with her own "strange ways", using guilt and manipulation to bind me to her. One night I caught the tail end of this song on the radio and the flute solo thrilled me as it always has. I woke in the middle of the night and could not get the song out of my head. So I got up and took a pen and the back of an envelope to write out the lyrics. "Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never caught" hit me hard. I realized there was no more laughter to come, only more "telling me of your sorrows in the tracing of your tears". Funny how lyrics can get you through things.
Rick Roberts=one of the best lead tenors in rock and roll. God Bless You Rick!
Awesome the best let us know and be the best we can be
WysteriaGuitar they totally stuck it to Rick a few years ago. They should have welcomed him back but instead they snubbed him. There is NO Firefall without Rick. He's completely rehabilitated and they shit all over him.
And he looks like David Crosby WITH hair
David Muse on flute. Also played with Marshall Tucker Band (Cant you See) and many other groups. They are still touring in 2019 too! :-D
I love this band.
