Yeah I think it's about time to bury it and put it to rest , talk about annoying, how many times can you listen to a song before you just want to smash the radio, talk about beating a dead horse.
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.
"Can't We Try" is a 1987 duet performed by Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard. The passionate ballad was Billboard's No. 1 Adult Contemporary Song of the Year for 1987. Released as a single from Dan Hill's 1987 self-titled album. The song reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and in Cash Box as well, making it Dan Hill's second-biggest hit behind "Sometimes When We Touch", which hit No. 3 back in 1978, and was Vonda Shepard's only Top 10 Pop hit. It also reached No. 2 for several weeks on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. In Canada, the song stalled at No. 14.
Dan, I just wanted to say "Thank You." I first heard your songs when I was maybe 14. And all through my life, as you released new albums, your songs spoke directly to what I was going through, more than any other artist by far. You helped me through so many very difficult years and found a place in my heart. I always imagined that if you came through my town, I'd take you to a nice dinner and thank you properly. And now I'm 62... and still alive... aged like a good wine. And your songs still resonate, as strong as ever. I know many people just don't get you... but you'll always be dear to me, and my wife as well. Big hug, Buddy! The BEST of luck to you!
wow 80s how beautiful the garage dances were and dancing this beautiful song took you to heaven with the woman you liked, music and artists like dan hill will not return
😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are right. Seriously though, I dont wanna sound old though I am gonna be 57 ouch! But back then when we had these beautiful love songs......songs that gave ya strength in a relationship......there was RESPECT for the woman and RESPECT for the man! It was pure love they were talkin about......listen to the cry in there voices......they wanna make it work! I love it. Not today.......some of these people in the misic business have no respect for their own mothers......that's why they have no RESPECT for woman when they sing. They can all go pound sand for all I care. I cant even turn the radio on today.....forget about it! That's why there's so much violence in this world. We gotta get back to L❤VE for EVERYONE not just who's in our circle........and I'm off my soapbox now. Thank you 🌹
@@geeskin5750 hey...hi. to further elaborate on that think about it 4 a sec...we are way past the days when L❤VE was abundant, free and UNSELFISH. Before computer technology and a CYBER world of GREED and FILTH took over, we did things naturally old school. The way are grandparents taught us. Relationships that today only exist in fairytale books. Patience is a VIRTUE is right! Everything people want is at an instant touch of their fingertip......computer technology has proved to be the DEHUMANIZATION and DESTRUCTION of humanity GLOBALLY. We need to go back to the old fashioned way of doing things. GDS 14 🙏 Good Day to you friend ❤
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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 😊.
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.

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. 🙏😌🙌 ♥️🌹🎶✍️
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.
❤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.
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
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.
This song hits the heart and soul harder than an earthquake and a bolt of lightning put together. It's amazing how songs like this amazing masterpiece hit the heart and soul so hard after you've experienced situations like the situations described in the lyrics in your own life and know exactly how it feels (and/or felt) to experience them. Give me songs like this about real love and emotion than the trash called today's popular music that clogs the airwaves any day
I gotta say: love and the songs that follow it have certainly fell off the map since about 1982 and onward. Shacking up aint what it used to either. Everybody is me,me,me,me! That picked in the 80's as well😘
Several 70s and 80s artists and groups are still releasing new music. The new love songs by them are written by people who have been married for decades, in several instances. That adds a different kind of quality to the songs. There have been several great love songs released in the past decade by older artists.
Jakes Pretorious, trt Journey's After All These Years, Pride of Lions Unfinished Heart, Polly Genova's One Lifetime is not enough (later covered by Lisa McClowry), and Richard Marx's Not In Love

Thank you for the lyrics. I love this song...I was about 15 or so the first time I heard it....I will be 44 next Monday and I still love this song. Thank you
"Can't We Try" is a duet performed by Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard released June 1987 written by Dan Hill and Beverly Chapin Hill. The ballad was Billboard's No. 1 Adult Contemporary Song of the Year for 1987. "Can't We Try" was released as a single from Dan Hill's 1987 self-titled album.
If I remember the story right, Dan Hill and his wife got into a fight and he went to write this song and she wanted to write her side of the story. Which is the part Vonda sings.
"Can't We Try" I see your face cloud over like a little girl's And your eyes have lost their shine You whisper something softly I'm not meant to hear Baby tell me what's on your mind I don't' care what people say About the two of us from different worlds I love you so much that it hurts inside Are you listening Please listen to me girl Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try to understand That it's love we're fighting for Can't we try just a little more passion Can't we try just a little less pride I love you so much baby That it tears me up inside I hear you on the telephone With god knows who Spilling out your heart for free Everyone needs someone they can talk to Girls that someone should be me So many times I've tried to tell you You just turn away My life is changing so fast now Leaves me lonely and afraid Don't be afraid, no Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try to understand That it's love we're fighting for Can't we try just a little more passion Can't we try just a little less pride I love you so much baby That it tears me up inside Don't let our love fade away No matter what people say I need you more and more each day Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try just a little bit harder Can't we give just a little bit more Can't we try just a little more passion Can't we try just a little less pride Love you so much baby Tears me up inside
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.
I see your face cloud over like a little girl's And your eyes have lost their shine You whisper something softly I'm not meant to hear Baby, tell me what's on your mind I don't care what people say About the two of us from different worlds I love you so much that it hurts inside Are you listening?

I sometimes wonder if this song was meant to try and strengthen weak relationships. You know viewers back in the day, silence was a relationship destroyer, amongst other things

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.
No relieve
Still in love with this song. July 2019. Music is not the same as it was growing up.
Amen. Music like this is leaps and bounds better than the trash that's called today's popular music.
Still listening in 2021
They really need to play more new music from older singers and groups on AC radio. So little of it gets any radio airplay.
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...😔😪
A Rare Beautiful 😍 🤩 Song Here We Both Agreed On That TH-cam Fans Here.
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.
This song makes me remember the 80's when I was nostalgic young days. What a beautiful song!
Such a beautiful duet. This song along with ENDLESS LOVE by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross are the best of all time.❤️
Another hit that makes me cry
the vocals for both artists on this song are phenomenal, just awesome, makes you play it one more time over and over! thanks!
they dont make music like this anymore
This song is really beautiful and really hits your soul. I really love their voices.
They don't make music like this anymore nobody is willing to open up and share there feelings we live in a cold world

This song hits the heart and soul harder than an earthquake and a bolt of lightning put together. It's amazing how songs like this amazing masterpiece hit the heart and soul so hard after you've experienced situations like the situations described in the lyrics in your own life and know exactly how it feels (and/or felt) to experience them. Give me songs like this about real love and emotion than the trash called today's popular music that clogs the airwaves any day
Earthquake used to be one of my favorite wrestlers in WWF
i never get tired of this song. i can listen to it everyday. i just love how it builds up to the climax
Good music like this should never had to fade away.
Alden R. Davis right
You are correct sir
Amazing song
I miss music like this , the music now not worth. I miss the 80s
Good music like this doesn't ever fade away, my friend. :)
Amazing duet.
Loved it when it first came out, and it has only gotten better with time.
Two great voices and a great song!! Still sounds good after all these years!
Hi Mandy,hope you’re okay ?
Dan Hill's voice is amazing.
Moi aussi. J'aime bien cette chanson.
The 1970s and 1980s had the best love songs! It is sad to see how far music has declined since then
This is true 😒
I gotta say: love and the songs that follow it have certainly fell off the map since about 1982 and onward. Shacking up aint what it used to either. Everybody is me,me,me,me! That picked in the 80's as well😘
Perfect harmony, perfect song.
I will never get enough of this song. I was a teen when this came out. Loved it then and now.
Totally 80s. Best decade for music.
Absolutely 💯 ❤ my mom and dad's old song love song
Amen sister
La mejor definitivamente
Real talk
You got that right! I love the 80's!the best times of my life!
Love the 80s wish they had songs like this today
Violet Suttle they do just have to search
@@markmenez4097 Been searching now for about a decade. Any suggestions?
Several 70s and 80s artists and groups are still releasing new music. The new love songs by them are written by people who have been married for decades, in several instances. That adds a different kind of quality to the songs. There have been several great love songs released in the past decade by older artists.
Jakes Pretorious, trt Journey's After All These Years, Pride of Lions Unfinished Heart, Polly Genova's One Lifetime is not enough (later covered by Lisa McClowry), and Richard Marx's Not In Love
Violent.Perfect Comment.You Rock

Dan Hill.. one of my fave singers in the 80s! Most of his songs were beautiful.💕
It's 2021 and I'm still so in love with this song and the artist ❤😘
Dan was underrated 😪 😔
I LOVE what Vonda Shepard does here especially towards the end. That crescendo. Wow...
One of the most underrated talents. Great voice and the ability to make you cry both, happy and sad, tears, with his song writing.
Vonda Shepard was a cuter version of Faith Hill . . .
After 30 years..why not..if you are meant to be ..Destiny leads you..
Stay safe. .and take care always..
I see your face cloud over like a little girl's
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly I'm not meant to hear
Baby, tell me what's on your mind
I don't care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening?
Please listen to me, girl
Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for?
Can't we try just a little more passion?
Can't we try just a little less pride?
Love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
I hear you on the telephone with God knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girl, that someone should be me
So many times, I tried to tell you
You just turned away
How did I know?
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid
Don't be afraid, no
Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for?
Can't we try just a little more passion?
Can't we try just a little less pride?
Love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
No matter, no matter what they say
I need you more and more each day
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
No matter, no matter what they say
Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try just a little more passion?
Can't we try just a little less pride?
Love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Can't we give a little bit, little bit?
Just a little bit harder
Can we give wow wow wow wow
Can't we try
Can't we give a little bit more
Can't we try, baby
Can't we give wow
We could try just a little bit harder
Can we give a little bit more
(Can't we try just a little bit)
Thank you so much for taking your time to write down the lyrics that help me a lot didn’t realize I was missing some many words ha ha😬
💖
Thank you for the lyrics. I love this song...I was about 15 or so the first time I heard it....I will be 44 next Monday and I still love this song. Thank you
"Can't We Try" is a duet performed by Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard released June 1987 written by Dan Hill and Beverly Chapin Hill. The ballad was Billboard's No. 1 Adult Contemporary Song of the Year for 1987. "Can't We Try" was released as a single from Dan Hill's 1987 self-titled album.
If I remember the story right, Dan Hill and his wife got into a fight and he went to write this song and she wanted to write her side of the story. Which is the part Vonda sings.
NO WONDER IT IS SO AUTHENTIC.
Stacy! If I get into a fight, I’m taking Ritalin and Provigil. Good idea?
Stacey Powell really?
How-did you get those ifacts?
Just found out today, he was married to Faith Hill.
Perfect for couples who still trying to save their relationships ♡
True

These great classics never die out.
Dan and Vonda hit #6 in Billboard, 9-12-87.
They don't make masterpieces like this anymore
No they don't
They can try but it doesn't come Close.
@@michaelgarcia8602Exactly
Can't we try? ❤
So in love with this music. ... NOTHING compares to it
That's what Sinead O'Connor said.
Hi Amanda,hope you’re okay ?
I wish Dan Hill had more music. He’s really top shelf.
He has stayed active as a songwriter, writing for other artists.
Stop trying and DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
Just how many relationships survived because of this song
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.

Carla Linton. Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard Sounds great singing together. Can't We Try is a beautiful song.
Yes..80's were blessed by great artist...and music tells a lot that 80's kids were born inlove... :)
OH WOW!!!!! Wish I could go back about 30 years.. Love that song..
Me to
This song still holds its own in 2022. Classic!!
Yes his music will never die for me. It all should be classics.
I sometimes wonder if this song was meant to try and strengthen weak relationships. You know viewers back in the day, silence was a relationship destroyer, amongst other things
Silence speaks a 1,000 words
It's almost the end of 2023 and I'm still listening to this song 🎵🎶❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🎵 🎶
80s soft rock is amazing.
The power of their voices still give me chills..listening in 2018 ❤
