This song has always fascinated me. Not because of the lyrics, but how the instruments are used so subtle and simple, yet so perfectly. An instrumental masterpiece.
I believe it's a perfect song! Nothing can be added to improve it's beauty. Takes you somewhere else everytime, and has enough interesting chords to keep you in the vibe.
I was 20 years old and my first love said she wanted to see other people. This song came out the same week. It was excruciating. After pining away for her and exercising for a full year I walked into a bar and saw a gorgeous brunette. She gave me two great kids and is asleep beside me 45 years later.
I grew up in the 70’s having the best of music from all groups not like today, and I’m taking a lot away from them because the oldies background singers were also good enough to be lead singers.
i play it everytime i travel with my motorcycle and singing it. this song is so difficult i cant keep up but good thing im wearing my helmet no one will hear haha
Ughhh, That voice!!! This surely is a timeless hit. I can never just listen to it once. I have to have it on repeat for a while and just let it sink in. Peter Ceteras voice captivates you. Definitely one of my top 10 best of all time. I'm 51 now and glad to have been alive during it's release. ❤
I’m 59. I did all me high school in the 70s. If I have to choose a decade to spend my teenage years again, it will be 70s over and over a million times.
Graduated from high school in 1981, so I experienced the best of the 70s, and 80s. Those two decades had a lot of great music. I definitely feel sorry, for these Millennials.
It really is just fantastic. The melodies intertwined within the arrangement. The subtle use of brass, the incredibly immersive lyrics that just take you away. Let alone the melody/hook that is just one of those truly catchy songs. So much emotion within it.
This was the song played at my High School Homecoming Dance that I had taken a beautiful girl name Mimi. Hearing this song always reminded me of her and just last month while visiting my mothers grave I noticed Mimi's gravestone just 2 graves away from my mothers. I was shocked at her untimely death and heart broken to see she had passed away and buried so close to my mother. Mimi had passed away 11 years ago while my mother had passed away 20 years ago. Even though we had not seen each other since High School I always thought of her and will always think of her when I hear this song.
@@ianelder1648 Yeah, time waits for no one, time and time again; I do think it's important to remember the past, but if it's bad, don't dwell on it, at least that's what I think:-). Chicago here, well, I DEFINITELY think that's good!
1977, when I separated with my girl, on d last day, she gave me this cassette. Then I worked abroad for almost 3 years. But, she has been my wife for 38 years now. What a world...
Over 40 years ago but I remember this like it was yesterday - some performances just stay with you. Peter Cetera, so expressive and watchable - lovely hair too! Beautiful, heart-rending song with a sublime orchestral blend, yet managing a focus on the guitars - a real masterpiece. Sheer class 💜🇬🇧
Having spent the weekend away with my then boyfriend in 1976, going home, this song came on the radio and at the time, I thought I was losing him to a former girlfriend. Two nights later, I told him that if he chose to leave me, he was making the biggest mistake he could possibly make. Instead, he proposed. We got married March 18, 1977 before he was depoyed to Israel on UN Peacekeeping duty. We would have been married 45 years this year. I lost him to lung cancer, February 2, 2015, 44 days short of our 38th anniversary. Oh how I miss him.
Much loved souls never die, only the bodies they traveled in do. When his soul became a part of yours in 1976 it was a forever thing. He’s still with you now, just in a different and perhaps far more special way. ❤
QUÉ BUENO QUE SIGUIÓ A SU CORAZÓN Y SE CASÓ CONTIGO. DALE GRACIAS A DIOS POR HABER DISFRUTADO MUCHOS AÑOS DE AMOR BONITO CON LOS PROBLEMAS Y ALEGRÍAS NORMALES DE UN BUEN MATRIMONIO. 🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏
Michele Lomartire I just saw this post although I have listened to this a million times and I'm 48. I wish I could have been a teenager during that time. You are so spot on.! This is Priceless 😃
Reminds me of a family vacation, in Bailey Island, Maine Summer of ‘77. Girlfriend down in Boston area had just broken up with me. Reading books on a deck overlooking the Harpswell Sound and bummin’ out.
Me, too.It is so sad....he is prying his lover girl to not leave him.Every times when I am hear this song...I want to cry....it is so hard to be abboned.
It may not happen Bae. Remember Peter Cetera in his own way "Was" Chicago. In the 1980's under David Foster's Tutelage, they had hit after hit, from Hard To Say I'm Sorry, You're The Inspiration, and it got to be Peter Cetera & Chicago. They still did well with songs like "Look Away" but to some fans the magic ended to a degree when Peter left.
Yes! Thanks so much for reminding me. David Foster is so amazing. I remember around 2001 when I was watching POPSTARS and boy the Man didn't "Play". He was demanding, a perfectionist, he knew who had it and who didn't. I remember when he played The Piano and he gave the Contestants A "Girl You Better Not Waste My Time" Look.
I Always Loved this Song back in the Old Days . Woo Who - - - What Gorgeous , Out of this World , Magnificently Magnetic , Mesmerizing Eyes ! He just had the Perfect Expressions for this Performance Right Here !!!!
I love Peters voice. Actually, nobody can cover it no matter how many have tried. Unfortunately, Cetera preferred more ballad and pop song writing. Nothing wrong with it. Chicago made great ballads but their best music in my opinion was the early 70s hard rock they did with Terry Kath. That to me was their best stuff.
I like Peter Cetera's unique technique of voice modulation when he slightly turns away from the mic when he hits the high notes. A real artist, he has lasted all these years as a music legend. Bravo.
"If You Leave Me Now" If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me Ooohh no Baby please don't go And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me Ooohh no Baby please don't go Ooohh girl I just want you to stay A love like ours is love that's hard to find How could we let it slip away We've come too far to leave it all behind How could we end it all this way When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret The things we said today A love like ours is love that's hard to find How could we let it slip away We've come too far to leave it all behind How could we end it all this way When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret The things we said today If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me Ooohh no Baby please don't go Ooohh girl I just got to have you by my side Ooohh no Baby please don't go Ooohh mama I just got to have your loving here
Same thing for my 5 year old and 8 year old! Yesterday I took my 8 year old daughter out for a girls night. She requested songs from this era the entire time we were in the car. Made me feel good.
Here in 2022. Great music never dies 🙏🏿 I was 4 years old when this came out. My parents were going through a divorce. My dad was in the basement, crying like a baby and playing this over and over. Till this day he doesn't know I saw him at one the lowest most heartbreaking moments of his life. I love both my parents but I'm glad he eventually found someone who he didn't have to play this for again. He just listens to it now because, again, great music never dies 🙏🏿
ALL PRE 2000 SONGS ARE FULL OF MEANINGS.....YR PA INSTANCE RELATED TO ME BUT WITH A TWIST, IN THE END, 15 YEARS LATER , THE SONGS LYRIC HAUNTED ME AGAIN .....BUT THIS TIME IT WAS ACTED THROUGHOUT.....YES.SAD, BUT UNLESS DEATH DESCEND ON ME, LIFE STILL HAD TO GO ON
I just heard this song in one of my dreams and was pulled to look it up. I never really liked it as I like harder rock or more aggressive 70s music but damn this song is special. I they were really playing this live this is one of the best performances ever. If not, still a great song
Agreed! Although Chicago have always had a distinct sound, Peter Cetera "made" the sound as we know it today. He's awesome, and the band isn't the same since he left.
I know that Steve Perry sang some difficult notes but Peter has to be my favorite vocalist of all time. His vocal range, vocal tone, and the songs he sang were awesome. I really think he received less attention than he deserved and what kid sings like that today?
Lee Doughty Freddies tone was not as "nice" sounding. Besides, most of the greatest singers are British. It is nice to find an American who I think ranks at the top.
BROTHER TRUTH An "American" singer ranking "at the top"? Roy Orbison...nobody could touch him..he could growl one minute, and make your blood run cold the next...who else but Roy could cause a man, succesful, good marriage, happy, to go jump over a bridge just from hearing "Cryin" or "Too Soon To Know"? just kidding of course...
I'm a millennial, this song was before my time, but i love it. It reminds me of the most precious thing i ever had in my life.. My mom. She use to sing it all the time. So this song stays in my heart where she remains eternally.
I lost my husband 6 months ago, this song hit me hard. Beautiful song, brought me to tears during their concert tonight. I've heard it many times but today, I felt it.
1980. 25 years old. Flew into LA from New Zealand with my wife, bought a 66 Chevy Chevelle in Hollywood and drove it across the States over the next 5 months. Sold it in Boston for the same price, $800. Guy who sold me the car threw in a Chicago 8-track cassette so Chicago was the background music of that unforgettable journey. Thanks America!
I am 47 and when I look at this crazy world now I feel sorry for the young people of this generation. We were so much at ease and free when I was a kid. We could run, play and ride bikes and did not have to worry about getting kidnapped. The whole neighborhood stood together and watched all the kids when they roamed. Such a wonderful time. It is a little sad for me when I listen to the music because so many people I loved, friends and family, are now gone. Just 24 hours to be young and care free again. I remember my parents and the extended family being so young and dancing to these songs.
Yeahh! We didn't have all the eletronics that have turned this new generation so indoor ...tasteless for good music and the world was much much more peaceful.. despite the Cold War .... Vietnam War
56 here. I danced with my first girlfriend in Jr. High to this song. And just a couple of days ago I sang this song to my girlfriend before she had to fly back to the UK to tend to her ailing mother. Her and I are going to find a way to stay together even though we are 4500 miles apart. While I like modern music the 70's spoke volumes about how to express your true feeling to the one you love.
I loved this song so much. When I was just a teen my girlfriend and I went to the Indiana State Fair to see them perform especially to hear this new hit. Unfortunately, I had a horrible back and could hardly walk. I got to the fair grounds and to the opening of the stands but had to sit outside and just listen. Naturally, I was disappointed to not see them but was able to hear it live. Awesome...
This song has made me cry since I was a little girl. I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio as a preschooler, when we lived in a two-bedroom apartment in the projects. My one memory of this song was when my brother and sister’ dad took my mom and us to her father’s gravesite, and she couldn’t find it. Then we drove around the neighborhood…My mom is gone, their dad is gone, and the neighborhood has changed so much. It’s just sad how the older you get the more people you lose
I started late. I only heard this song in the 90s in university. However, i spent many great moments listening to this together with my first love. Moments that I'll never ever forget.
I heard this around my elementary years. I’m 27 now. This song came out in the 70’s! Thank you dad for showing me diversity in music. Got this on my repeat list in 2021.
Music from the 70's and the 80's touched your heart, allowed you to express your love to your soulmate, and had meaning behind their lyrics! Music today doesn't even get close to what and how we felt and enjoyed during those times.
I know this came out in 1976, but I was born in 1981. And when I first heard this I was 11 years old. My eleven year old heart was breaking over a love I never knew about. Lol I absolutely love this song and this group.
I was 11 when this came out and remember first hearing this out in a store with my mum she smiled at me as I said I loved this song shes passed on now but memories of that day will stay with me forever best days of my life I wish I could go back life was better in the 70s ! 😢❤😪🙏
so very 70s but also so brilliant. And really, what song would have the same impact these days? I couldnt even name let alone sing any of 'top 10' now. And who would want to? We had fun, clever, talented songs. Very lucky.
@@godislove363You are correct sir! The youth of today are Lazy and uncreative with too many other distractions to compose music. Most of the artist today don't play musical instruments and use auto-tune to mask their shitty vocals.
@@edwardlowe7260 I saw Golden Earring live in Leicester Ed,when they were just about to release that,they were a support band for Leo Sayer no less,in his pierrot days,Epic mate :)
This song takes me back to high school. Don’t know how many times I heard this song, waking up in the morning and doing so many other things. Our local fm station played it constantly.
This song has always fascinated me. Not because of the lyrics, but how the instruments are used so subtle and simple, yet so perfectly. An instrumental masterpiece.
I agree!
I believe it's a perfect song! Nothing can be added to improve it's beauty. Takes you somewhere else everytime, and has enough interesting chords to keep you in the vibe.
Yes the use of a rhythm guitar in a world of electric guitars was inspired
Their manager and producer won an Emmy for the arrangement. I think Pete should have won one as the writer and composer not to mention performer.
Especially the trombone.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
I was 20 years old and my first love said she wanted to see other people. This song came out the same week. It was excruciating. After pining away for her and exercising for a full year I walked into a bar and saw a gorgeous brunette. She gave me two great kids and is asleep beside me 45 years later.
Beautiful, man!!
Love when ppl share these kind of stories that intertwine with the track I’m listening to. I can imagine all the emotions, music is a powerful thing.
well ya better wake that chick UP and have some fun !
Have a good life my good sir 🫡👍
I bet the first one is regretting that decision all these years later. We are dumb as teenagers, We thought, we knew it all... We had no clue .. Haha
Peter Cetera’s voice is incredible…..just shoots through the soul.❤
Yes it does
I so agree
Does have a calming affect.
His guitar sounds pretty good too!
There's a Russian group that does Chicago covers,dare I say it but could arguably be even better.
40 years later and it sounds just as good as it did then. The 70's were the greatest decade for music!
racingdodger55 greatest decade for everything
70s 80s 90s greatest Decades and even the early 2000s
I grew up in the 70’s having the best of music from all groups not like today, and I’m taking a lot away from them because the oldies background singers were also good enough to be lead singers.
Not really,where I come from (New York City) there was a Plague in the 70's called disco..though I have come to like some of it now : /

These songs brings tears of joy and sorrow at the same time . Back when music had a heart and soul
exactly!❤
Perfectly said 💯
Like many the 60s, 70s, 80s were the best years for songs and artists. The variety there for everyone. Something that this generation is in need of.❤️
Nostalgie !
Don't care what anyone says, the 70's produced the best music ever!
Without a doubt!
@@cindyw7270 Por favor, apoyen a mis músicos, como el amor que les he dado, les deseo siempre felicidad.
Yes the best ever
The 70's were cool, but the 80's were better

Me too! I was class of 86 but the 70’s was the best decade
@@felixramos3078 It sucks man. Im 34 and was born in the wrong time. All I listen to is 70s.
Possibly one of the most perfect songs ever crafted. Timeless.

Sorry for your losses♥️🙏🏽
May they Rest In Peace🙏🏽♥️

Awww man😞
This 1976 hit doesn't age much. This is TIMELESS until 2021 and still counting!
The best music is timeless, the message might fade but the rhythms never will
I get what you’re saying but this song is pretty old 45 years
@@ianelder1648 Yeah, time waits for no one, time and time again; I do think it's important to remember the past, but if it's bad, don't dwell on it, at least that's what I think:-). Chicago here, well, I DEFINITELY think that's good!
They played this track from Chicago in discos in the 80s, many a slow dance was had by this. Timeless song.
Watching it now.💖💖💖
1977, when I separated with my girl, on d last day, she gave me this cassette. Then I worked abroad for almost 3 years. But, she has been my wife for 38 years now. What a world...
You're a lucky man. Cherish her while I am hoping to meet my ex gf after 36 years ..... a wonderful girl, simple and kind .
Whats a 1977?
roedi gasik what a beautiful memory! Read that and it made me smile.
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾🥂
Completely wonderful. 🧉

Absolutely!
60s were better...
60 s were better
80s
70s, 80s, 90s best music ever
I was 17 when this song came on the radio. I'm so grateful to have spent my teenage years in the 70s. Would love to return!! Such a great time.
И я ТОЖЕ в начале 1970-х была 11-12-летней девочкой.
Meine Teenagejahre waren auch in den 70zigern Wir hatten eine sehr gute Zeit! Erinnerung an Fly, Robin, Fly
I'm sure glad to have lived in our era of great music. Also much better minds
I also was 17! The best of times.
Me too
Great version! Cetera killing it! Hard song to sing too!
one of the best things about 64 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 70's that is priceless and I am grateful!!!

So do I, on British tv there is an advert running with the first part of this song playing, I have to watch and listen every time.

this song reminds me of simpler times in my life.
Remembering my sweet husband got married in "76" this was always playing on the radio. Thinking of u Tom!
When Peter left Chicago, the band lost someone special. It was never the same for me.
Hello Pamela, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
But the music lives on.
No matter what era, this diamond of a song is purely timeless.
Indeed

After Peter left Chicago they have NEVER had a replacement singer as good as Peter !!!
Really?! You have an very unique taste though 😂
Replace Peter with Terry and your statement is more accurate
I agree
Cetera took them to a more pop sound and ruined them.

I love the way he works with the mic. 🎶💋🎵
If this wasn't lip sync'd ..... the music was and the only mic live was his. I think the entire production was in fact.
I think his mic and Loughnane’s mic for the backup were live.
Also the pickup on his guitar. Everything else taped.
Another great song performed effortlessly! I love this 🎵.
HI dear how are you doing over there ?
"If You Leave Me Now"
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me

Ooohh girl
I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away

Ooohh no

Ooohh no
Baby please don't go
Ooohh mama
I just got to have your loving here

Crazy how this song so deeply brings back the pains of young love.
Feeding my 4 year old son a good diet of music like this with a belief that I’m doing a good service to mankind in some way.
Same thing for my 5 year old and 8 year old! Yesterday I took my 8 year old daughter out for a girls night. She requested songs from this era the entire time we were in the car. Made me feel good.
Lovely to hear that 😊
not only my favorite chicago song, but one of the best songs ever period!
Us old people are watching for a quick trip down memory lane😊
Here in 2022. Great music never dies 🙏🏿

Till this day he doesn't know I saw him at one the lowest most heartbreaking moments of his life.

Touching story
Thanks for sharing your story.

Chicago.....doesn't get any better.....
It's one of those songs. In my adolescence I thought it was OK. Listening to it again after more than 40 years, I realise it is a masterpiece.
Wonder why you weren't able to grasp that in your youth
Wow! Look how all this talent came together and produced this beautiful masterpiece of a song. It was real! ⚘💖
I just heard this song in one of my dreams and was pulled to look it up. I never really liked it as I like harder rock or more aggressive 70s music but damn this song is special. I they were really playing this live this is one of the best performances ever. If not, still a great song
It's the record with a symphony orchestra wailing away, but Peter's vocal is different so he's probably live, but not his guitar.
Eu tinha 6 anos em 1977
Mas essa música é incrível gente
Linda de mais
Ela é inesquecível para qualquer idade
Hola! Yo también tenía 6 años en 1977 y amo cada una de las notas de ésta canción, saudades
Beautiful song I was born in 1977 I thank my parents especially dad for exposing me to good music
just one of those songs that can still bring tears 47 years laytr for the love that wasn't meant to be
linda musica, traz ótimas recordações de uma época que não volta mais.
Chicago's . Hard to say Im Sorry, You're The Inspiration and Hard habit to break is a memories of my teenage years.
A few of those are Cetera away from Chicago
They played this so much on the Radio..... 40 years later.... I still know the lyrics
Me too.love him

@@marka.5135 Terry and Peter made the band
I know that Steve Perry sang some difficult notes but Peter has to be my favorite vocalist of all time. His vocal range, vocal tone, and the songs he sang were awesome. I really think he received less attention than he deserved and what kid sings like that today?
Freddie murcurys mine, vocal range is one of the best that has ever lived and his voice is magic, just my opinion after all
Lee Doughty Freddies tone was not as "nice" sounding. Besides, most of the greatest singers are British. It is nice to find an American who I think ranks at the top.
Lee Doughty de kyo

BROTHER TRUTH An "American" singer ranking "at the top"? Roy Orbison...nobody could touch him..he could growl one minute, and make your blood run cold the next...who else but Roy could cause a man, succesful, good marriage, happy, to go jump over a bridge just from hearing "Cryin" or "Too Soon To Know"? just kidding of course...
james parker I love Roy but Pretty Woman, Only the Lonely, or Leah still cannot touch Chicago's best songs. All opinion though.
Os tempos sombrios dos anos 70 e 80. Nos fizeram superar, as dificuldades, ouvindo esse tipo de melodia.
I was17 when this song came out - love this song!
One of Best tune's ever felt and that Real!!!!
Cetera voice amazing. No auto tune, no bullshit. Just talent
You're absolutely right!!! He has an Amazing Distinctive Voice !!!!🎶🎵🎼🎤💗
Yes one of the best!
Quiet boomer
Amazing, indeed!
Actually he could have used auto tune here.
i am 60 and cant believe where the time went ?? i look back and think we had so much great music x
Hi Rachel 💐💐
I was 14 years old when this song came out and I absolutely loved it and still do x
Amazing masterpiece, and delivery. Thank you!
I'm a millennial, this song was before my time, but i love it. It reminds me of the most precious thing i ever had in my life.. My mom. She use to sing it all the time. So this song stays in my heart where she remains eternally.
@The Weeping Willow WOW.. thanks so much 🙏

Peter Cetera's voice is so soulful and full of emotions as he sings, it's like he is singing directly to your heart and soul!
I'm so glad I was born in 1958. I wouldn't change a thing.
September of 1958 for me and I agree.
I was born in 1938 and this beautiful gem came to my rescue out of the doldrums of the boring stuff thus far !
This song is a masterpiece & I love it just as much now as I did back in the 70's.
Same here! ❤
This song has been the number one in my "Top 10 list" for almost 20 years and I still love it!
correct
lllll
Damn! I Am So Glad To Be A 70’s Kid!
👌💯
I lost my husband 6 months ago, this song hit me hard. Beautiful song, brought me to tears during their concert tonight. I've heard it many times but today, I felt it.
My condolences. I pray god keeps you and bless you beyond measure. Stay encouraged

So sad...I'm sorry 😞😞

God Bless. It will get better. Take care of yourself and know it will get better

One of the most beatiful love songs ever writen,,,,,,,, thanks Peter Cetera
1980. 25 years old. Flew into LA from New Zealand with my wife, bought a 66 Chevy Chevelle in Hollywood and drove it across the States over the next 5 months. Sold it in Boston for the same price, $800. Guy who sold me the car threw in a Chicago 8-track cassette so Chicago was the background music of that unforgettable journey. Thanks America!
I am 47 and when I look at this crazy world now I feel sorry for the young people of this generation. We were so much at ease and free when I was a kid. We could run, play and ride bikes and did not have to worry about getting kidnapped. The whole neighborhood stood together and watched all the kids when they roamed. Such a wonderful time. It is a little sad for me when I listen to the music because so many people I loved, friends and family, are now gone. Just 24 hours to be young and care free again. I remember my parents and the extended family being so young and dancing to these songs.
Very true Sherry....
Beautiful Sherry
Yes, I'm 51 and feel the same way. I was 10 years old when this came out, and life was so simple and fun back then.
Yeahh! We didn't have all the eletronics that have turned this new generation so indoor ...tasteless for good music and the world was much much more peaceful.. despite the Cold War .... Vietnam War
it does take a community to raise a child.
I was 12 when this came out now I'm 53 wow what a change in music God bless the 1970s
me too. Same age as yourself. When this song played, I broke up with my g/f. This song brings me right back to the time. Like a time machine.
56 here. I danced with my first girlfriend in Jr. High to this song. And just a couple of days ago I sang this song to my girlfriend before she had to fly back to the UK to tend to her ailing mother. Her and I are going to find a way to stay together even though we are 4500 miles apart.
While I like modern music the 70's spoke volumes about how to express your true feeling to the one you love.
It isn't music anymore. I wasn't alive in the 70s but the 70s and 80s were very much alive and kicking during my childhood. This is real music.
@@umarsattar1540 Great song please check out Chicago - Chicago X Album Review on my channel
god bless da gals of da 70s 2
15 añitos tenia cuando salio esa cancion y siempre me gusto hoy con 59 años en el 2022 un temazo
I loved this song so much. When I was just a teen my girlfriend and I went to the Indiana State Fair to see them perform especially to hear this new hit. Unfortunately, I had a horrible back and could hardly walk. I got to the fair grounds and to the opening of the stands but had to sit outside and just listen. Naturally, I was disappointed to not see them but was able to hear it live. Awesome...
Listening to Peter you return to the past with a tear you return from the past and continue crying. Peter Cetera You are already a legend.
I miss this kind of music
ME ...... ME TOO!
Lo Quiero ha🏧🚸🏧 apoyo
Me tooooooo! 70s had the best melancholy songs, bar none.
Straight to the heart
When bands and music were great !!
This song has made me cry since I was a little girl. I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio as a preschooler, when we lived in a two-bedroom apartment in the projects. My one memory of this song was when my brother and sister’ dad took my mom and us to her father’s gravesite, and she couldn’t find it. Then we drove around the neighborhood…My mom is gone, their dad is gone, and the neighborhood has changed so much. It’s just sad how the older you get the more people you lose
Dammit Butters, putting this song in my head...
I kept scrolling to see if anyone else came from South Park 😂😂 Butters' version tops everything tho..
Lol I thought I was the only one here from South Park
Lol
I just watched it myself... 😂
😅😅😅😅That's why I'm here.
I started late. I only heard this song in the 90s in university. However, i spent many great moments listening to this together with my first love. Moments that I'll never ever forget.
Que saudades ❤ é o que me resta 😃 maravilha 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
2020 who still listening?
Me
me too.
I do! 😀
I am listening right now. I am from México and I like so much this kind of music
Lv godzx East coast 4:33 a.m. CLASSIC ❤️
I heard this around my elementary years. I’m 27 now. This song came out in the 70’s! Thank you dad for showing me diversity in music. Got this on my repeat list in 2021.
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
4 nearly 5 years old when this came out... i LOVE IT XX
Poor Trevor #GTAV
Hahaha trevor !

This is the song when Trevor send home Patricia *demm feelss that one hell car ride with deep partways conversation :(
Replay that mission just to feel that moment shead a tear for my boy Trevor
@@PerryThePlatypus..
i listen to this while doing some drive by in los santos....too therapeutic
If this song was released today, it could easily break the record of the longest stay at number 1
I was six, still luving this song ❤❤
All his song i enjoy, his face havent change one bit up till now 🥰
Music from the 70's and the 80's touched your heart, allowed you to express your love to your soulmate, and had meaning behind their lyrics! Music today doesn't even get close to what and how we felt and enjoyed during those times.
Some of it does, less, but some does if you’re willing to look
well said.
Love. This song so much love the lead singer sex on legs
When patricia leaves trevor...
The Radio:
I know this came out in 1976, but I was born in 1981. And when I first heard this I was 11 years old. My eleven year old heart was breaking over a love I never knew about. Lol I absolutely love this song and this group.
The classics are beautiful😢♥️

4-9-1981 And this song gives me such nostalgia of riding in my dad's caddy. Times were simple and no stress
Música lindíssima, o solo de violão é absurdamente lindo. Que saudade!!!
I was 11 when this came out and remember first hearing this out in a store with my mum she smiled at me as I said I loved this song shes passed on now but memories of that day will stay with me forever best days of my life I wish I could go back life was better in the 70s ! 😢❤😪🙏
Let me close my eyes then open them to have me back in 1977 just for a day or so. The music was so great back in the day.
Linda Garcia This was from 1976, but you make a good point.
Without a doubt....we were a better caliber of people also ...majority of homosapieans today are Neanderthals ...😈😉 ...just say'n ...😶
Not bell bottoms, but Hash jeans.
Not to mention Star Wars
@@punipuk8507 heck, yeah
! Don't forget Star Jeans and Brittanias!
Peter Cetera é extremamente talentoso! Ele simplesmente reproduziu ao vivo a versão de estúdio. Absolutamente incrível!
so very 70s but also so brilliant. And really, what song would have the same impact these days? I couldnt even name let alone sing any of 'top 10' now. And who would want to? We had fun, clever, talented songs. Very lucky.

Look kids, MUSICIANS.
Yeap, back then they used to make music. Now days, its hard to find that quality and innate talent. Great comment.
They used to say MTV KILLED THE RADIO STAR, I say Music died a slow death mid nineties on.
That's funny but for real.
The way it should be...
@@godislove363You are correct sir! The youth of today are Lazy and uncreative with too many other distractions to compose music. Most of the artist today don't play musical instruments and use auto-tune to mask their shitty vocals.
My mom introduced this to me as a kid and I’m still listening in 2019, anyone else?
i love your mom for doing so... =) good choice
Yup, your Mum introduced me to this song as well. What are the odds?
My mom introduced me to traffic, she always told me to go play in it.
for shure stacy so much talent almost magical lyrics
I wish your mom would introduce me to you.💋❤💋
I was 13 years of age , what an amazing song.
I love Cetera. My hopeless romantic imagination needs and craves music from the 70’s and 80’s.
no need to panic,,,the music of life will sustain your forever,,,,put on the earphones,,,pour the wine ,,and turn up the volume,,,then phone me
then play RADAR LOVE

Anyone growing up in the 70's as soon as you hear those first few beats, you know what's coming ........
N C I loved the 70s
Yes!!! It came out the year I graduated high school so very memorable for that year.
Love love love!!!!!
EXACTLY...!

This song takes me back to high school. Don’t know how many times I heard this song, waking up in the morning and doing so many other things. Our local fm station played it constantly.
