I used to chance a girl at my hometown around 19 or 20. It's confirmed that we both got feelings toward each other back then, the only problem was that she's gonna move abroad so ended up we weren't even being with eachother before she left the country. I lost touch with her after she told me she got a boyfriend in a mail, then years after we stayed in touch again as she got married We met up as her kid was around 2 years old about 5 years ago, gotta admitted there were lots of feelings boiling whilst mixing up in my head at the monent. One still can recall the song was playing on the car radio, at that very moment we just gave each one a glance with a small but awkward smile on the faces. Have to say this song got me into the rabbit hole of recalling the precise scenario of my past every time I have a listen to.
And you are still thinking about her and still have a feeling towards her. You are still love her. I like your story ... read it and listen this song give me warm-happy-sad feeling. I hope one day you will meet her and you will tell her how do you feel :)
You never quite made it to the finish line with her for a reason. I know you wrote this 2 years ago and we all must do what we must do. Me and my wife are of two different backgrounds and nationalities. English and Russian. Nothing could keep us apart. That was years ago and we are still together.
I'd basically sell my soul to go back to 1976 and take my two, 25 year old kids with me so they could see how easy-going life was and hear the amazing music that was produced by truly talented artists. I miss that time when people were more laid back and we could ALL joke around about things without someone getting terribly offended. Our country is so uptight right now that I'm just waiting for it to implode on itself. The best thing we can do is to hold onto those wonderful memories of the 70's and pass those memories of how great our country was to our children. Unfortunately, they'll never experience such a simple, loving, and peaceful generation of people that existed throughout the 70's. Well friends, keep on trucking through your incredible memories of a very special time that's long gone by....
The Vietnam War was going on. Watergate was happening. Nixon resigned. We celebrated our nations 200th birthday. Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Star Wars came out. All in the Family, Chips, Cheers, Happy Days and a lot of other great shows. And great music. In that decade I started high school, graduated from high school, got married, had my first child. Yeah, the 70s were fabulous.
The music today is far better. FOR THOSE WHO ARE YOUNG TODAY. 'Our music, fm the 70s and 80s in my case, actually, if critically analyzed, well, pretty much sucked. But it all contains memory tags. I've been replaying this song over and over while writing this. In it, I hear, smell, and feel, my dad, who's been gone nearly 30 years, my old school & friends. Maybe even a first kiss in there somewhere. Music is the only true method of time travel. Ironically, my bf is playing Supertramp in our bedroom now (after the 4th 'reminisce' playing of this song ended. Now I'm back in HS, playing on the football team, sneaking out to party w the gang. Ah memories. In the end, that's all we have.
Far better? Can't generally say that.. There is so much monotonous, commercial shit going on in the music scene today..Very few songs with heart and intelligent song writing, and very few with recognizable melodies, and in the so called mainstream they are difficult to find nowadays.. In my oppinion nothing can touch these old music..
@@marceibel1131 Its all in where you look. Look at the popular (top 40) hits of any decade. You'll find they are bouncy, melodic, generic tunes that appeal to the general public. But think about it, if music didn't evolve, change, metamorphosize, adapt, and synthesize, we'd still be rocking to literally, cavemen pounding on rocks.
@@marceibel1131 Plus, today, the phone im holding can pretty much find and play about every song ever recorded. I agree that today's radio really sucks. But there is almost no reason anyone should be forced to listen to the radio anymore. The Net has let me discover much more music than I have ever thought possible.
I'm 18. I listen to the 70s-80s to escape from the crappy music now. I listen to this music while I do my homework, or when I go to sleep. It helps relaxes your mind. That's how amazing this music is.
+Victoria Panossian It sounds like you are on good with life at such a young age, Just wish you the best in your coming years, dont fall in love till you are at least30, it still is a good world out there. I always the best thing life is to the career and job you love, before finding some guy, and you let em know up front they need to treat you with respect and spoil you, Good luck young Victoria!
It makes me sad too. The 70s was a great decade. Not like now when our freedoms are slowly being taken away. I want the America that we had back in the day when it was great. Sure, there were up and downs, but people had pride in their nation and believed in God.
Even though I was only a kid in the 70's, I wish I could go back and do it all again! Good times growing up with family and friends and life held so much promise despite all the problems that were around in those days. A much simpler time and we were all happier. Wonderful memories that will stay with me forever.They knew how to make good music back then not like the ear bleeding crap of today. It's all gone to shit nowadays. Those of you who are 50+ will know what I'm talking about. Thank you for the clip.
I think you mean England Dan. The one playing the guitar. He’s also one of the very few that use a right handed strung guitar and just flips it over. Very unique way for a lefty to play guitar.
I remember this song...but it took a different direction for me since I saw Samuel L. Jackson completely twist (or destroy) the lyrics in the movie A Long Kiss Goodnight starting Geena Davis....I'm not talking 'bout the linen...ROFL!
Dan Seals died in 2009 from a blood cancer. I can relate. I also have a non-curable blood cancer. They say it's "treatable but not curable". The weekly chemo sessions don't provide much of a quality of life however. Sorry if I made this too much about me. I just have some sense of what Dan went through the final years of his life. Thanks for music Dan. RIP
I'm sorry to hear this! But remember you are dealing with a profession who basically doesn't know how to cure anything. Their specialty is managing illness longterm...and drugs keeps that revolving door going. I'm convinced the first thing they are taught is to say 'We don't know what causes that'. Funny though how they can always manage to provide expensive drugs with fancy names to go with the fancy diagnoses... and expensive tests and surgeries! My point is, I am a nutritionist and I know that all ilness is reversible and curable when you remove offending toxins (for starters the S.A.D Standard American Diet, which is loaded with sickening plant oils) and begin to actually nourish our bodies with organic grassfed foods and lots of minerals...what we are all lacking! If you're interested reply and I can give you some great websites (including mine). It's the Traditional Diet, basically how people have eaten since the beginning...minus the 80,000 chemicals and faux food...which of course IS the cause of cancer, and all illness. Hope to hear from you!
+Bob Sewvello Man Bob, that sucks to say the least! I have chronic pain and sometimes I do wish it was fatal. All Drs are interested in are treatments and not cures. Hang in there & just live life to the fullest - I know I would!
I've always thought the line 'there's a warm wind blowing the stars around' was one of the most incredibly poetic lyrics I've ever heard... Been a while since I listened to this song but I still love it :)
Lol I played this once and my dad heard it and laughed. He said this was his era of music and this particular song reminded him of when he first moved to America because every single radio station was playing it back then. He also said those were way better times than now.
+Sheels1976 Best of times,good times.....give my love to your dad....we were together in spirit....it was the same in UK.....one of my Summer Tunes.....
+Sheels1976 Oh Lordy...I'm old! It really was a better time. Better music, more fun without as much paranoia and danger. Ahhhh......I miss those times!
I wish we could just all go back in a time machine & relive the 70s, for as long as we want. Or create a virtual reality 70s that we could visit when we want. But YT is the next best thing.
I am too young to have experienced them, but I really like the music from that decade, especially the carpenters. Listening to my parents telling their stories from that time, it sounded like a blast. But my best time is right now :) got a wife and two freaking awesome little kiddos. I wouldn't trade this time for the world.
Hi there, Good morning Seeing you here put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears! Well I'm from Italy. But I am currently in Las Vegas NV. I'm new on TH-cam. Well I hope to hear from you soon Ok
I wish I could go back in time and just spend a week in the 70s,just to go see some of those great performers, singers and musicians, nothing today even comes close to the music of the 70s
Hey listen sweet - I wanna go back so much it hurrrrts and I love the fact that you as a youngen would like to spend a week there. The 70s were AWESOME!! Even if I didn't appreciate it at the time but I WAS PRESENT!
I'm so convinced that I was born in the wrong era. I should have been from the 70's All these songs give me melancholic feelings, maybe it could be how beautiful and relatable they were written? I don't know, but I really wish I would have been able to live in this era. Too beautiful! Is there a word for longing a time or place you've never been in before?
This is one of the best sing along songs. But one day I'm driving with the family and my wife points out that this is basically a very classy booty call. We never said our music was 100% innocent in the 70's-80's, but it was classier.
Im not gonna lie... for the longest time i thought they were singing "im not talking about the linen, and i dont want to change your mind" and thinking that this was a hell of a passionate song about a disagreement on towels... this makes much more sense hahaha
I feel so fortunate to have lived my teenage years through the 70's and early 80's. Definitely the best music, and you kinda knew deep inside that it was a special, magical time. I think our feelings were tied to the music much moreso than the kids who came after us. By the 90's, the communication and technology era began, and music just didn't play the same role in the lives of the next generation.
1977. My life was finally peaceful after a painful breakup with much drama 3 months earlier. Song came on the radio, and it made me remember the good times we had had. I picked up the phone and called him, He immediately came over and we've been together ever since. I have loved the drama of these happy, happy years and our four wonderful children and six grandchildren. Hearing this one took me right back to that night. Music truly does change lives!

Memories of working on a cold Saturday at my uncles greengrocers, then there was this girl, Oh this girl she just kept coming and buying. She was 26 i was 16, yes i guess i was that pretty just like this classic, but id still love to see her tonight...........Trust me !!!!
I was born in 71 also, we caught the "tail-end of IT" as some of my older friends used to point out. Hard to tell someone younger how lame the world has become.
I remember dancing with my High School sweetheart to this song. I was a freshman and she was a junior, I always liked older, they were more mature.Many years later, while thinking about her and this song we danced to, I called her and played this song, and she said, " Hi Mike" We talked for hours and that did not go to well with either of our spouses. It was a simpler time and a lot more fun. The lesson there is to enjoy your youth while you are still young. I edited this because it seems some people can't figure out that I wasn't married in High School and the time difference when I was and many years after, when I CALLED AND TALKED TO MY FIRST LOVE.
zacksutt Thanks for the kind words. Most youngsters think us grey beards don't know anything, the sad part is you have to have lived and learned some hard lessons along the way. When you are young, you never think you are going to get old and unwanted, the years fly by quickly and before you know it a old man or woman is looking back at someone who still is young at heart and mind.
What I wouldn't give to go back just one more time to when I was a teen, especially to my first girlfriend. It was the first time for a lot of things, like hearing the words "I love you" and she meant it. People say"I love you" nowadays and don't mean it or understand what that word entails.
+j flo what is real bad? all of today's music? that wouldn't make any sense... every decade and it's genre's have there hits and misses based on each individuals taste...
+sbdgrwnmrw yes any my opinion and taste like the music of the late 60s and 70s. What is bad you ask...Justin Bieber, Kanye, Mylie cyrus ,swift ,The 1 with cupcakes on her boobs I don't know her name Only newer band that even comes near the musicians back then is Tedeski Trucks Band. Thats my individual taste
+j flo your individual taste is not what i was referencing when i said your comment doesn't make any sense... 4 or 5 singers/artists do not represent an entire world of music out there... i actually happen to agree with your opinion of j bieber, kanye, mylie, and t swift, although i do really enjoy 2 of taylor's songs... but i think it's most likely the case that you are entirely unaware of a ton of great music out there that has been written in the recent decades... your opinion of a few current-day artists in no way makes your original statement true; that music today is not as "real" as music in the 60's and 70's... there are thousands of artists all over the world making incredible music "real music" and just because they are not played out on the radio or splattered all over the headlines every other week in no way equates to the nonsensical notion that today's "music" is less real than music in any other decade...

I'm so glad that I grew up in the 70s Some of the best songs ever created came from that decade. The music industry today is like a desert landscape compared to that wonderful era. Greed is like a cancer that destroys everything it touches. The modern record industry is just a pathetic shadow of it's former self.
I never understood when he said "I'm not talking about moving in" when I heard this as a kid. Now that I understand "moving in" it kind of ruins the magic of the song40 years later!
I heard this recently whilst watching a show on television and had forgoten just how much I loved that song. The song writing from this era couldn't be beaten and Dan and Ford Coley were up there with the best of them. Pure magic.
I really never knew that England Dan was Dan Seals &I really didn't know that he had died I knew of his country career in the '80's I just never put 2&2 together & I've listened to them forever
I had to post this one, because, I just love, love this song. It's beautiful. The melody, and the lyrics say a lot. It is just beautiful, and I always like to sing along.
Dan Seals sang like an Angel and now I am sure he is one. I have only learned recently that he passed away some time ago. I hope that he is resting blissfully in peace. You are dearly missed, Dan! 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
Thanks to the comments here I finally know that he wasnt talking about the linen, but rather about not movin' in. Im 46 and have heard this song a thousand times in my life....and on 7-8-16 I finally know what he was saying.
Randy Nolan I really like this song, but I don't appreciate the negativity that is being expressed towards other generes of music. If you don't like a certain type of music fine, just keep it to yourself. And Randy whether you know it or not comments like, "these sort of people" and "their kind of music/noise" is considered racist. Who exactly are "these people?" I am a black woman who loves ALL music, country, jazz, rock, disco, old school hip-hop, rap and even some gangsta rap. Now there are some rock songs that I have found offensive along with some rap, but I don't feel it necessary to speak out against them in such a negative way, so that tells me that what you are feeling is much deeper than just "the music."

I have always loved this song and I love it even more in 2022. Beautiful voices, music, very loving and romantic lyrics that are extremely well written. A timeless song by a a timeless duo.

the lyrics is great, i'm sure it touch upon the feeling of many guys at one point in their life
Nice personal story. I guess we all have one of those.. I know I do.. and there a a few songs that remind me of similar events.

And you are still thinking about her and still have a feeling towards her. You are still love her. I like your story ... read it and listen this song give me warm-happy-sad feeling. I hope one day you will meet her and you will tell her how do you feel :)

I'm only 14 but think 70's music is the best music ever
I agree ..I'm 65 and I grew up with this music!
Hey Dan, there are a lot of gems in the 80's too!
😊that's awesome.❤
I'm 65. Love the 1970s! ✌️💚😊
Where is the music today. It doesn't make me feel anything going up my veins, like this does.
I agree beautiful maybe some of the old bands children will pick up on it.

I can actually feel that warm wind they're singing about..One of the best songs from the 70's.

Awesome. I play it all the time and it still gives me goose bumps.
Change winds. That warm flow in colder weather. Look for changes.

The only live performance they have, I love the simple aura of this.
I think you mean England Dan. The one playing the guitar. He’s also one of the very few that use a right handed strung guitar and just flips it over. Very unique way for a lefty to play guitar.
The 70s was the bomb, nothing else comes close to that talent level. Many of them are gone now but thank God we still have their music.

Hi Deneen, I just love those old sentimental songs. Memories are times we borrow, to spend when we get to tommorow.
daniel occoner Couldn't have said it better....
One reason I think 80s music is so good, those guys were still around. And had become consumate pros by then. In producing, writing, recording.
so true❤
Thank God I grew up in the 60's and 70's! The music was the best!
Ditto. Bring back 1976 when Ford was the President!
40s, 50s and 80s were good too.
Also grew up in 60's and 70's ... what an amazing ride that was!
Me too

Damn that was some good music.
I've always thought the line 'there's a warm wind blowing the stars around' was one of the most incredibly poetic lyrics I've ever heard... Been a while since I listened to this song but I still love it :)
Yes that is a great lyric!
I always thought he sang..."I'm not talking 'bout millennium". Meaning he wanted to
see what would happen , but wasnt asking her for forever
Christopher Richute That's funny... I always thought he was saying I'm not talking about moving in... Must have been a seventies thing!
he is saying talking about moving in I once googled the lyrics, as I was too curious to know what the lone was
I used to think that was the lyric as well ...
Lol I played this once and my dad heard it and laughed. He said this was his era of music and this particular song reminded him of when he first moved to America because every single radio station was playing it back then. He also said those were way better times than now.

So very true!
This one is just beautiful. Sing it guys. Love it!
superb sounds

I miss England Dan he was awesome !
I wish we could just all go back in a time machine & relive the 70s, for as long as we want. Or create a virtual reality 70s that we could visit when we want. But YT is the next best thing.
is that the only thing you would do with a time machine
Gee, Alex Trimm, I don't know.
Xander Taylor geez I was just wondering
Xander Taylor Yes,would love to re-live those years forever...
These guys had the same idea about the time machine in "It's Sad to Belong."
The 70's were the best years of my life
Me too 😀..... wait I was born in 1981
I am too young to have experienced them, but I really like the music from that decade, especially the carpenters. Listening to my parents telling their stories from that time, it sounded like a blast. But my best time is right now :) got a wife and two freaking awesome little kiddos. I wouldn't trade this time for the world.
man the late 60s and early 70s were absolutely fabulous to be alive.
Think Donna, and Harry B said it all here.
Hi there, Good morning Seeing you here put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears! Well I'm from Italy. But I am currently in Las Vegas NV. I'm new on TH-cam. Well I hope to hear from you soon Ok
I wish I could go back in time and just spend a week in the 70s,just to go see some of those great performers, singers and musicians, nothing today even comes close to the music of the 70s
Hey listen sweet - I wanna go back so much it hurrrrts and I love the fact that you as a youngen would like to spend a week there. The 70s were AWESOME!! Even if I didn't appreciate it at the time but I WAS PRESENT!
coffeemug58 Agreed. It was a fantastic time to grow up, I really miss it.
Put me on that list.
Yes, I totally agree, I was there, spent my late teens and early 20's in the 70's and it was awesome musically!!
Thank God for CDs albums and TH-cam
I'm so convinced that I was born in the wrong era.
I should have been from the 70's
All these songs give me melancholic feelings, maybe it could be how beautiful and relatable they were written? I don't know, but I really wish I would have been able to live in this era. Too beautiful!
Is there a word for longing a time or place you've never been in before?
Trust me you weren't ,don't mean to piss on your dreams.
Wow, you are quite brilliant, how did you figure that out?
You don't know me either..
it is a great decade for music!!!!
Should have added ("be glad" after trust me) sorry for any offence.
Lol!! Important detail there... Why not?
This is one of the best sing along songs. But one day I'm driving with the family and my wife points out that this is basically a very classy booty call. We never said our music was 100% innocent in the 70's-80's, but it was classier.
Im not gonna lie... for the longest time i thought they were singing "im not talking about the linen, and i dont want to change your mind" and thinking that this was a hell of a passionate song about a disagreement on towels... this makes much more sense hahaha
It's a great song regardless...lol
I too am not sure what the first line was. I'm not talking about what??
Moving in
Dude lol.. That so funny, but Im afraid it ruinned the song for life for me! :) (jk)
Yeah, I thought he was saying linen too!
Hands up who is still listening to this in 2023 ✋☝️
2024…
2024 with tears in my eyes
Recent discovery but I listen to it over and over.😊From Italy.
Just heard this the other night while watching the Breaking Bad film El Camino. What a great song.
👏
Back when this country was something to be proud of. I sure miss those days.
This song has nothing to do with the country
Didn't it help bring down the Berlin Wall?!?! :)
Soft rock dude, but I miss those days as well!
Yep. Thank Barry for that!
that is exactly how I feel!
I feel so fortunate to have lived my teenage years through the 70's and early 80's. Definitely the best music, and you kinda knew deep inside that it was a special, magical time. I think our feelings were tied to the music much moreso than the kids who came after us. By the 90's, the communication and technology era began, and music just didn't play the same role in the lives of the next generation.
same here, best time ever to be a teenager, adored every day
1977. My life was finally peaceful after a painful breakup with much drama 3 months earlier. Song came on the radio, and it made me remember the good times we had had. I picked up the phone and called him, He immediately came over and we've been together ever since. I have loved the drama of these happy, happy years and our four wonderful children and six grandchildren. Hearing this one took me right back to that night. Music truly does change lives!
yeah,yeah,yeah, but what about the linen.
victory5959 We're not talking about it.
No true word spoken !! The lyrics to this song are so meaningful.

Memories of working on a cold Saturday at my uncles greengrocers, then there was this girl, Oh this girl she just kept coming and buying. She was 26 i was 16, yes i guess i was that pretty just like this classic, but id still love to see her tonight...........Trust me !!!!
1971 baby girl here...I loved growing up in the 70s...and I love looking back...this song brings it all back....
I was born in 71 also, we caught the "tail-end of IT" as some of my older friends used to point out. Hard to tell someone younger how lame the world has become.
Same girl same!
I remember dancing with my High School sweetheart to this song. I was a freshman and she was a junior, I always liked older, they were more mature.Many years later, while thinking about her and this song we danced to, I called her and played this song, and she said, " Hi Mike" We talked for hours and that did not go to well with either of our spouses. It was a simpler time and a lot more fun. The lesson there is to enjoy your youth while you are still young. I edited this because it seems some people can't figure out that I wasn't married in High School and the time difference when I was and many years after, when I CALLED AND TALKED TO MY FIRST LOVE.
Thanks for those words... You are right!
zacksutt Thanks for the kind words. Most youngsters think us grey beards don't know anything, the sad part is you have to have lived and learned some hard lessons along the way. When you are young, you never think you are going to get old and unwanted, the years fly by quickly and before you know it a old man or woman is looking back at someone who still is young at heart and mind.
Honest words are always the most beautiful.
We know plenty Mike, we had the privilege to live thru the 70s & only we know how magical it was
What I wouldn't give to go back just one more time to when I was a teen, especially to my first girlfriend. It was the first time for a lot of things, like hearing the words "I love you" and she meant it. People say"I love you" nowadays and don't mean it or understand what that word entails.
It was amazing how they said "Moving in",a phrase that was misheard by millions.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this song is an 11
I believe that the philosophy of this song is right on the money.
What happened to music,I really and truly that music back then keep the world going around
England Dan and John Ford Coley are HARDLY one hit wonders. They had four #1 on the charts. As a former radio DJ I've played numerous of their songs.
One of the best music of all time!
This song is actually pretty damn good advice!
Spot-on performance, done with heart and soul by two genius songwriters. I am glad I was from this era... I'll never adjust to today's puke.
1976..such a great year for us as teenagers in IRELAND still listening in 2015 on the other side of the world in our 50s.
guttural Yuri y
+Sootys Disco I'm sure it was just fine in Ireland but there was nothing like New York City in the 70s. Born here raised here and will never leave.
+j flo good for you if we had been born in USA we would never leave lol
+Sootys Disco lol, good one. It was so much fun back in the 1970s. So many places to see great artists.
+Sootys Disco Peter Frampton was great too in 76
real music wow that brings back good memories
The beautiful music of the days when music was real music...
+Lo Maine today's music is also real...
+sbdgrwnmrw Yeah ...real bad.
+j flo what is real bad? all of today's music? that wouldn't make any sense... every decade and it's genre's have there hits and misses based on each individuals taste...
+sbdgrwnmrw yes any my opinion and taste like the music of the late 60s and 70s. What is bad you ask...Justin Bieber, Kanye, Mylie cyrus ,swift ,The 1 with cupcakes on her boobs I don't know her name Only newer band that even comes near the musicians back then is Tedeski Trucks Band. Thats my individual taste
+j flo your individual taste is not what i was referencing when i said your comment doesn't make any sense... 4 or 5 singers/artists do not represent an entire world of music out there... i actually happen to agree with your opinion of j bieber, kanye, mylie, and t swift, although i do really enjoy 2 of taylor's songs... but i think it's most likely the case that you are entirely unaware of a ton of great music out there that has been written in the recent decades... your opinion of a few current-day artists in no way makes your original statement true; that music today is not as "real" as music in the 60's and 70's... there are thousands of artists all over the world making incredible music "real music" and just because they are not played out on the radio or splattered all over the headlines every other week in no way equates to the nonsensical notion that today's "music" is less real than music in any other decade...
Yes, it bring back a lot of memories of the mid- seventy, the prom, the skating ring, and the drive- In movie.
Hearing this song always returns memories including when I saw an act on a variety show with a man and woman talking in a phone conversation.
beautiful song , great looking singers, best era for music. I am so glad that I was a 70's girl !!!
I was looking for you Terry...xxxxx.
I love this song to.its nice John ❤️😂

New York Dan is listening in 2024, just added to my playlist 😉
Amazing song with beautiful lyrics..
Brings back memories of the past!
70's will always be the best decade even if we're in the future with flying cars 70's is the goat
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around and i would love to see you tonight.. excellent lyrics
70年代にヒットしたみたいですがもっと早く知りたかったですね❣️
I love all their songs., makes me fall in love over and over
I fell in love once.....it is nice........
+Kieran darragh only once
Really ? Me too. I hope your not just sayin" that.
I'm so glad that I grew up in the 70s Some of the best songs ever created came from that decade. The music industry today is like a desert landscape compared to that wonderful era. Greed is like a cancer that destroys everything it touches. The modern record industry is just a pathetic shadow of it's former self.
Reminds me of HS , back in 75 ' . Im glad people still listen and post great music . Cheers , cheers !
this song is absolutely perfect, words meet artist
A good. Friend. Had. T his. Song. Sung. To. Me on a special. Nite. 1975
Nice song😊💃❣️
One of the best 2:30 minute pop songs ever,PERIOD!
Nothing gonna be better than music and singers from 60's, 70's. 80's, 90's thru 2004.
+Edna Paz Music was dead by the early '90s when rap/hip hop and grunge/progressive alternative became mainstream. That is when the talent became dead.
+Edna Paz 60s and 70s and some 80s but not much
I never understood when he said "I'm not talking about moving in" when I heard this as a kid. Now that I understand "moving in" it kind of ruins the magic of the song40 years later!
``Always love lyrics to ``I`d Really Love to See You Tonight`` Love singing words ``One of my favorite ``
I heard this recently whilst watching a show on television and had forgoten just how much I loved that song. The song writing from this era couldn't be beaten and Dan and Ford Coley were up there with the best of them. Pure magic.
One of the best ever.
I really never knew that England Dan was Dan Seals &I really didn't know that he had died I knew of his country career in the '80's I just never put 2&2 together & I've listened to them forever
Thanks Bud. I Agree
I had to post this one, because, I just love, love this song. It's beautiful. The melody, and the lyrics say a lot. It is just beautiful, and I always like to sing along.
Class of 77 here, it was good
One “Like” is definitely not enough to express my love on their wonderful performance. Thanks for the other 56K!
70's rocked!! I was just 5...
the decade of broken hearts, missed ops, woulda, shoulda, coulda, but didn't... but lovin the memories of it all.
great tune - brings back good memories
I loved the long full names of a few 70's bands like England Dan...Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds and a few others
Dan Seals sang like an Angel and now I am sure he is one. I have only learned recently that he passed away some time ago. I hope that he is resting blissfully in peace. You are dearly missed, Dan! 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
He is now with his brother Jim Seals of Seals and Croft up in heaven having concerts.
This is one of my songs!!!
Thanks to the comments here I finally know that he wasnt talking about the linen, but rather about not movin' in. Im 46 and have heard this song a thousand times in my life....and on 7-8-16 I finally know what he was saying.
omg!! I thought the same thing...."linen"!!
I thought he said "I'm not talkin, about believin'"
I'm 47 and since childhood I thought he was saying "II'm not talking 'bout meridian"!
"[ the live in"
arthur wohltman "not talkin bout movin in"
Wow, this song brings back the memories of the 70s. I was Single, no worries and no bills. Thank you for posting a great song of the 70s.
same here, if only we could turn back time, youths wasted on the young!
@@alisonwarwick1943 yes Alison the 70s were great. A great time to be a teenager and a young adult. I'd even repeat my 4 years in the 70s (1973-1977)
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SONGS THAT YOU LOVE TO LISTEN TO AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORDS IN THE SONG AND IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. 😊
I just started playing these old songs and their more beautiful than when I was much younger.
Hello 👋
Real music.
Very nice sweet voice sir idol
Dan England sang this song 🎵 like his blood sweat 😓 heart ❤ and tears 😢 went into it
Absolutely 💯 beautiful 😍❤
Tiffany I was born in '87 and I love this music--I mean , who wants to listen to rap?
Randy Nolan I really like this song, but I don't appreciate the negativity that is being expressed towards other generes of music. If you don't like a certain type of music fine, just keep it to yourself. And Randy whether you know it or not comments like, "these sort of people" and "their kind of music/noise" is considered racist. Who exactly are "these people?" I am a black woman who loves ALL music, country, jazz, rock, disco, old school hip-hop, rap and even some gangsta rap. Now there are some rock songs that I have found offensive along with some rap, but I don't feel it necessary to speak out against them in such a negative way, so that tells me that what you are feeling is much deeper than just "the music."
This means a lot still. Maybe one day. I sure do miss my friend.
😂😂
