AMEN!! Dan Hill had one of the most beautiful voices back then, along w/Steve Lukather from Toto, and Peter Cetera, Bill Champlain & Jason Scheff from Chicago. I was always a sucker for a monster ballad
my wife and i, we've been together for 10+ years ups and downs sometimes we want to part ways, but we put the foundation of our marriage with the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is strong and solid foundation, if not we may already another statistics of broken family. This songs reminds me to try more little bit harder to be kinder, patient, try little bit more romantic, because marriage is not a fairy tale and not perfect, it is the union of two unperfect, most of the time opposite attitude, views etc to become and try to become better
Dan has remained active as a songwriter. Writing for other artists. According to Wikipedia he is working on a new album of material. My three favorite love song writers would be: Lionel Richie, Dan Hill, and Jim Peterik. Peterik has stayed extremely active as a songwriter. Writing a large number of songs in the past two decades. Peterik just released a new love song a few months ago, called "All That's Mine to Give".
@@NatalieW94Not true, fortunately. As of July 2023, he is alive and well and still active. Talented man who has written for others, including George Benson and Céline Dion.
@@jeffe-sw I stand corrected. Idk where, but I could swear reading about his death many yrs ago. I'm truly glad he's still around & making music. His voice is one of my top 5 faves
I was 18 when this came out. I was a senior in High School. My family owned a roller skating rink (1971-2009) I would DJ there most of my life. This was a highly requested song for couples song when it came out. And even after it's popularity dwindled from radio airplay. I'm 51 now and this song is still amazing. The lyrics. The story it tells. Still relevant today.
No doubt Dan Hill is one of the best singers during his time. His soulful sharp raw voice is so manly. I was a just 9 years old when this song was so popular. What a voice, god bless him.
The honesty in the lyrics and the timing of the duet is mesmerizing, haunting, and full of emotion. Can't we try...to make more music like this? Amazing.
It's been YEARS since I heard this. I was an '80s teen and loved this song. Came on the radio just now, and I KNEW EVERY WORD. :) Thanks, Dan and Vonda.
Never say goodbye if you still want to try, never give up if you still feel you can go on 😚never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go😘😘😘
❤its 11/2023. Still listening and loving this song, dose anyone feel the same ,i jave read hundreds of comments the last few days, so far so many people are saying they miss beautiful songs like this, a fear friend passed away last year i just found out, this was his favorite song, i been trying to show my teen aged grandkids this kind of beautiful 🎵 and to my surprise they really liked it, so i going to bring out all the old school duets,first ,then all styles of 🎵 from the 70s 80, and 90s just want them to love and appreciate,talent and instruments,of course i am up in age but every day is music for me makes us happy in. my home., again thank you for being on TH-cam and posting this fabulous tune.
...this was one of THE most 'left field' hits of 1987; Dan hadn't had a hit since 1978 ("Sometimes When We Touch"), and had NO-THING, for years....Vonda was almost non-existent in her career... this Ballad shows up, and, BAM!! ...They were EVERYWHERE! ..HUGE #1 AC / #7 Pop Ballad!! ..Vonda became Miss "Ally McBeal", and Dan introduced us to Celine Dion.... CLASSIC 80's Ballad...
I had forgotten how good this song was. I was young when it came up but it always made me sad, before I could even really feel the meaning of the lyrics.
why, oh why .. is there no good music today ??? thanks to TH-cam, I can listen to GREAT music from the 1950s - 1990s. Nothing any good's come out since the 90s.
I was a dan hill fan and this song gave me a goosebumps thinking about my bf… the lyrics, i dont care what people say about the two of us in different world.i love u so much that it hurts inside ……..🤦♀️
This song has such a special place in my heart. Their voices are perfectly paired and the words...incredible. They just don't make music like this today...everything is altered or enhanced my technology. Bring the real talent back!
"Start the music, light the candles, renew our vows in lace and sandles. Those same two kids, trembling at the alter, are standing strong and tall.". - From the Pride of Lions song of Everlasting Love. Today's love songs by older artists and groups are written by people who have been married for decades like the man who wrote that song, Jim Peterik (formerly of Survivor). Another great love song co-written by him, with that theme of a longtime love, is One Lifetime is Not Enough. There are others: like After All These Years by Journey, etc.
@@rainymoon9848 Love your poetical version of my life story.. 😌 Was Married longer than I’ve been alive. 33-49 If you know, yoU know. That resume includes this beautiful song along with many that made me laugh, cry, remember.. Music is magical in a way that when you hear a song, it instantly takes you back to a certain time in your life and it’s in full color as if yesterday.. This May 2nd will be FOUR YEARS FREE. What a beautiful time it has been to get to know myself again, Even more beautiful to see Thee Almighty God’s hand in it. 🙏😌🙌 ♥️🌹🎶✍️
It still is and always will be a beautiful song. I still get emotional hearing it. I was on 24 years old when this song came out. I will always enjoy listening to this song. Thank You 😊.
Same... I used to call the local radio station every day requesting this song when I was a kid lol ...sometimes repeatedly calling till they played it lol
This came out when I was 22. They played it so much on the radio, but it never got old to me. Ran across this recently, and glad I did. Takes me back to better times for sure.
I’m addicted to this song after all these years since it was first released and it’s 2024. The one girl I was really crazy about I let slip through my fingers.
I'm from Singapore and never heard of this song before until my local radio station One FM 91.3 played it on air and I had to check the radio app on the name and title of the song. I'm so glad to have discovered this song on radio and I'm gonna listen to this more often! :)
Loved this song then and now. Vonda Shepard looked like Kim Basinger. Two great voices and a beautiful melody❤️Dan Hill’s songs are so sweet and romantic , his voice is amazing!
I am in my senior years n heard this duet only recently. Sent it immediately to my 2 sons. We all love it. Yes it crosses all. The key-- never ever give up on love. All love..!! 🤗
I worked in the radio business from 1985-2019. I started on an AM station that still played Top 40 hita until 1987, when the company launched a Top 40 FM station and moved switched the AM to soft rock (Adult Contemporary) to target an older audience. For a time, the AM station did very well with soft rock. I did afternoons on that station and this song reminds me of being on the radio playing songs like this that would prove to be legendary.
I honestly forgot about this hit “can’t we try” it’s so true for so many of us I still prefer my 70’s and 80’s hits takes me back to my teenage years being in love with my bf that turned into my husband of 32 years I still love you to this day
This song sure stands the test of time... and will do so forever. That's because it's applicable to any relationship, no matter the time period or era. A strong relationship is built on compromises. More on giving, less on ego. Don't hold grudges, but be prepared to forgive.
Oh man this song is hard to get through without losing it lol. When it was out in the 80s, it didn't get to me now. Now that I'm older and been through some rough times, I get it.
when i was 9 this kind of music was my mom used to play in the stereo and i always get annoyed but now i'm 33 i understand how classy & beautiful this song was.
There were so many adult-oriented heartbreakingly soft rock ballads like this back in 86-89 (and some into the first half of the 90s too). One of my guilty pleasures as a kid, and I really miss them now since there's no sappy music like this in the Top 40 anymore.
@@Adam-qv2bd that song reminds me of the swimsuit edition tv show they had on tv. I remember being a teenager, maybe 12 so not close yet to teen but I recorded it vcr and watched it so much and that song was on there. So Everytime I hear it I think of that
One of the voice singers wrote a song called, I wish I didn't Love You. However, I don't like her singing voice. Instead I prefer Karine Hannah's cover of that song. Karine has sung covers of Dan Hill songs in the past.

They just don't make music like this anymore!!!
They were the awesome days
One of the most powerful ballads ever. Extremely underrated.
Totally 80s. Best decade for music.

This was a perfect pairing of voices.
Real music, real singing, no autotune, actual words with meaning
That is so true they don't make song from the heart anymore
Could not agree more.
and real talent

It's 2022 and I'm still listening. One of the best duets ever!!
Absolutely!
Yesssssssssssssssss!
Duet of Filipino actors in one show way back 80s.. the actor & actress was Dennis da Silva & Jean garcia, teenager then now in 50s.
Yes I agree! Right up there with Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton doing the song “Islands in the Stream” that’s my ALL TIME FAVORITE ❤❤

Still one of the best duets of all time. Why can’t we still have music like this!!!🩷
Because it would put marriage therapists out of business so songs like Small Town or Old Time Rock and Roll proliferate the airwaves.
Agreed so many people I know say the same. This song is sooo beautiful favorite.thank for your comment your million percent right.
No one these can make music like this. We come from a generation who enjoyed our music.
Because we have Millennials whose parents did everything for them, so they can't do for themselves now, so they copy everything. ugh.
This is Joe's song to Jill....
Perfection. All class, no ridiculous garbage of today.
Anyone with great taste listening and getting emotional to this beautiful song by Dan Hill & Vonda Shepard in June 2023? 80's, I miss you...😔😪
No doubt Dan Hill is one of the best singers during his time. His soulful sharp raw voice is so manly. I was a just 9 years old when this song was so popular. What a voice, god bless him.

A bone chilling beautiful ballad! Reminds me playing during my radio dj days.
Still one of my all time favorite songs.
Hi Donna,hope you’re okay ?
Mee too💗
Im a teenager.
A 15 yr. old but I find this music really good but Music has no age limits❤❤❤
Dan and Vonda hit #6 in Billboard, 9-12-87.

He has stayed active as a songwriter, writing for other artists.
One of the best songs of the 80's!
One of the most underrated talents. Great voice and the ability to make you cry both, happy and sad, tears, with his song writing.
What a beautiful duet song from Dan Hill and Vo da Shepard. Just lovely to hear this. D. K. K.
This song sure stands the test of time... and will do so forever. That's because it's applicable to any relationship, no matter the time period or era.
A strong relationship is built on compromises. More on giving, less on ego. Don't hold grudges, but be prepared to forgive.
Oh man this song is hard to get through without losing it lol. When it was out in the 80s, it didn't get to me now. Now that I'm older and been through some rough times, I get it.
80s has the best music. Best era
This song has humanity all over it..........today's music is void of this important quality!
Dan Hill is one of my favorite love song writers.
Oh my goodness we so badly need more love songs like this in today’s world
The voices are extremely so nice ,it can ignite me to sing without a collaboration. I love it.😂

Perfect for couples who still trying to save their relationships ♡

Yes..80's were blessed by great artist...and music tells a lot that 80's kids were born inlove... :)
they dont make em like Dan anymore. His musuc really takes me back to my childhood. whats a better gift than that?

nice old song

How can they make songs in the 80s or 90s like speaking on their minds only? . . . I miss those days, when emotions are just truthful. 😢
