    Let's just say the truth...this was one of the best songs of the 80's, maybe even all time.

    My husband's and my song. 32 yrs of marriage (35 years of dating). We've gone through losing two children, me having a life threatening illness, medical debt, a fatal family accident, etc...but we still hold hands, check off bucket list items, AND dance to this song whenever it comes on! Thanks for creating a song that always gives us hope!!!

    Back in the late 80's 2 buddies of mine were at a local bar and there was this band upstairs performing this song. The band came down to the bar after the set was over and my one friend said to one of the band members "You guys sound a lot like the band that actually released that song." Response from one of the band members :" We are the band who released that song". Jaws dropped shortly thereafter....

    I worked almost 13 hours yesterday. And it's 1:30 a.m. So maybe I'm just tired and raw, but I had an unexpectedly strong emotional reaction listening this.
    An overwhelming feeling of simultaneous happiness and sadness that was hard to take and yet I didn't want to end. Very strange. And while I always liked the song, it was never something deep and personal to me. Until now.

      @@jgramosmainchannel Please, for the love of god, can we retire this "real music!" nonsense. You sound ridiculous. What do you think Beethoven and Mozart would think of this song, which alternates between the I and IV for almost the whole song? They would not consider this "real music." But the good news is it doesn't matter. If a song speaks to somebody and brings them joy, it's real music. Why do you need to trample on what someone else likes? What is it hurting you if kids like something different? I seriously do not get this. You rag on today's youngsters, but you're the one acting like a child.
