I used to hear this song all the time. Now it rarely plays on 1980s, soft rock or oldies stations. Deserves to be in heavy rotation like other Santana hits.
I was there at the Forum Copenhagen on September 29, 1981! He played 1 whole hour extra! The whole crowd was on their feet. Best concert of my Life! SANTANA Forever! ❤🎸💙🤗❤️☮️🙏
I've always loved this song and most from the 70s/80s! So😳 embarrassing I pride myself on music knowledge and always thought it was Steve Winwood😳! I'd say we all have great taste in music 🎶!
If you love this song 🎵 and it brings you up and brings back good memories than you're winning my friend ♥️ remember anything is possible we just have to believe in ourselves and make the right decisions, God Bless ❤
OMG can we please STOP with "underrated" everything!!!! This song was a radio smash back in '81 & it's still one of Santana's biggest hits ever, & it was the centerpiece of "Zebop!", a Top 10 Platinum album...Even though you don't hear it on Classic Rock or throwback decade music formats as much as other Santana songs, it remains a staple of easy listening & Adult Contemp formats.
@@Tarantulisimo Its some kid who was born in 1990 whos hearing it for the first time. So its underrated. He doesnt realize it was a huge hit. Im sick of hearing underrated to.
yep, it was a big hit, but a point can be made (as with many other good classic rock songs) for it not getting presently played much on classic rock stations. That's not because of any particular song, but because big corporate networks own all radio stations, and they play the same narrow list of wore-out songs. No matter where you drive around the US = you'll hear 'jack & diane' three or four times a day. Radio just sucks so bad now.

Es 2023 y tengo 56 años, ya no puedo recordar desde hace cuánto la vengo escuchando y seguiré haciendo lo mismo cada vez que me ponga a buscar la mejor música de mi vida... ésta melodía junto a la guitarra de Santana y la voz de A. Ligertwood son todo lo que podía haber imaginado perfecto
Quiero saber el nombre del cantante y de los integrantes ,solo reconozco al baterista de la era woodstock. Siempre me acompaña tu musica Carlos Santana y lo guardo en mis favoritos y SOUL SACRIFICE Y EUROPA son superfabulosos eres genial y siempre desearte lo mejor,saludos desde Peru.
Not the same but we also didnt have you tube. We had to sit and watch 16 hours of MTV to hopefully catch our video. We were blessed but y'all are lucky as well.
61 here in the Missouri Ozarks and feel the same. I think Clint Eastwood said it best... "I Miss the Good Ole Days When Everybody Wasn't Such a Pussy."
Everything perfect!! The melody is a masterpiece. The lyrics are poetry. And I love Alex Ligertwood's voice. One of the most beautiful rock voices of all time. ❤
This is why I'm glad to have a subscription to Sirius XM. There are no classic rock stations where I live, so satellite is where I can get to hear songs like this.
Prayers to you my friend....yes I haven't heard this song since early 1980s when I was a teenager.....always been a fan of Santana but he brings out what Santana could have been....
This was one of the songs that fueled my fight against pancreatic cancer. As of today I am 6 years and 11 days post surgery with no evidence of recurrence.
For the longest time I thought this was Steve Winwood lol 😅 Blew my mind when I found out Santana was the artist. Alex definitely sounds like Winwood, total compliment 😊

Yes it does me too. Life was more simple and seemed easier- in 1980 I was only a Freshman in High School so I’m sure I was worried about some things then but the memories now are all good ones. Santana was amazing then and now.
I was 8 years old when this song came out. We would go to the local pool up the street and this song was on their jukebox. 42 years later and I'm still jamming to this classic.
Thanks for your take, it's spot on!! I am reliant on it to do just that!! I am always there for everyone around me and it makes me remember that when people suck and don't know they SUCK! Helps me sleep at night !
For me this song is not only my favorite when I was a teenager but also I consider as an inspiring song for those people who have been thru worst times in their life but are determined to be better and stronger persons.
I used to hear this song all the time. Now it rarely plays on 1980s, soft rock or oldies stations. Deserves to be in heavy rotation like other Santana hits.
It's a cover song.
I thought it was a Phil Collins song but Santana came up

Ah, Santana, more importantly, Santana's guitar playing. Such an iconic sound. Can listen to him all day long.
What about the Scottish vocals in this song by Scotsman alex ligertwood.
Long-lost Santana superhit right here. Only deep classic rock afficianados ever hear this one anymore! Congrats! That's you!
long lost? Hardly

This is on the playlist at Lowes right now, I literally heard it when I was shopping today.
Love this song
Heard this on the radio the other day .. one of my favorites from a long time ago, never knew it was Santana!
I thought it was Journey!
Same here! Thought maybe Steve Winwood.

I‘m crying , I love this song❤️
It's amazing how a song can influence our feeling 😊👍
You are winning!!
8am i woke up and this is the first song that popped into my head. plays 100 times at work and never knew who or what it was. glad i found it!
I love 💘 this..everyone doing the perfect amount of passion.everything in its perfect placement.
I remember travelling America in 1982 and playing this on any jukebox I could find. Thank you for the ability of portable music these days!
My favorite Santana song
Just such a powerful song w soul. My dad was dying in the hospital in 1981; this song was on the radio at the time. Deep memories.
One day I was on the ground
When I needed a hand
And it couldn't be found
I was so far down
That I couldn't get up
You know and
One day I was one of life's losers
Even my friends were my accusers
And in my head
I'd lost before I'd begun
I had a dream
But it turned to dust
And what I thought was love
That must have been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turned around
Fate must have woke her
'Cause lady luck
She was waiting outside the door
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
And I don't intend on losing again
Too bad it belonged to me
It was the wrong time
And not meant to be
Took a long time
And I knew for now
I can see the day
That I breathe for
Friends agree, there's a need
To play the game
And to win again
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
And I don't intend on losing again
I had a dream
But it turned to dust
What I thought was love
That must have been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turned around
Fate must have woke her
'Cause lady luck
She was waiting outside the door
I'm winning (yeah yeah)
I'm winning (I'm winning)
I'm winning (uh)
I'm winning (I'm winning)
I'm winning
And I don't intend on losing again

O nome do vocalista é : Alex Ligertwood.
A voz sempre me membra o Phil Collins

E experimente ouvir de olhos fechados... soa como uma voz negra. Lindo e bom demais!!
A.C. Slater on back up vocals was a huge surprise
😂
I'M Winning, excelente tema de Carlos Santana y la voz de Álex ligertwood
This song could be a 15 minute long song and it would still be awesome.
Su majestad carlos santana (viva mexico señores con respeto)🎉

Timeless Santana's classic.
What I'd give to go back to when I frist heard this song !!!!!!!!

Yesterday here in Brasil @@kaohsiung99
This song was a hit…. Most songs by Santana are not a hit. If you want a real underrated song, try “No One to Depend On” and “Persuasion”
A great song...listening from Texas...im 63 years old and lucky to have grown up with such awesome music!!
Native Texan here, as well!🌞
61 here in the Missouri Ozarks and feel the same. I think Clint Eastwood said it best...
